The Missing Piece in Your Hotel's Cleanliness Strategy

Covid has flipped the entire hospitality industry on its head. Hotels, which have seen massive revenue drops across the board, are limiting spending to the essentials. In 2020, the essentials include all sorts of different cleanliness initiatives. These things add up, and one study states that the hospitality industry will incur an extra 9 billion of annual costs related to enhanced cleaning protocols. 

If hotels are spending that much money, it’s crucial their cleaning practices are comprehensive, or else they put their entire investment at risk. One area where we feel hotels are falling short is addressing the high touch items that guests are bringing with them - such as their phones. 

Studies show that our phones are increasingly being recognized as a “trojan horse” for the transmission of Coronavirus and other germs.  And even more concerning, it’s been reported that our mobile phones have more bacteria than a toilet seat. 

As a hotelier, do you want to risk all your cleaning initiatives going to waste as your guests bring in germ infested devices, potentially putting your staff and other guests at risk?

The Solution

Cleaning guest’s devices can be tricky.  After all, you and your staff can’t force a guest to clean their phone - it comes down to the guest taking responsibility for their own cleanliness. But, you can make it as easy as possible for them to keep their phones and other personal devices clean. 

How? With UV Station. UV Station is the only UV Light Cleaner built specifically for hotel use. It’s cleaning compartment is large enough to fit every phone on the market, and 95% of hotel remotes in use - which have been identified by time magazine as one of the dirtiest items in the guestroom. UV Station utilizes UV-C technology. All a guest has to do is drop their phone or other device in the UV compartment, press the button, wait 5 minutes, and their device has been disinfected by 99.999%. By making UV Station interactive and guest-facing, guests immediately are drawn to the device as a “cool” new technology. I mean think about it, what is going to inspire you to clean your phone more - a couple wipes on the table, or a sleek looking wireless charger that you just drop your phone in while you get settled in your new room? Yeah.. that’s what we thought.
