Eco-friendly and economical


Hospitality establishments generate huge quantities of laundry at a huge cost. This unique product may reduce your laundry detergent costs by at least 80%!


How it works
Eight different ceramics work synergistically to emit powerful remote infrared rays that break the hydrogen molecules in water to increase molecular movement. It also decreases the superficial pressure of water, giving the water a higher penetration capacity and improving its washing abilities.


 

Housekeeping the natural way


Using natural cleaners is a great way to promote a healthy environment and healthy living.

 

Not only this, but chemical cleaners can be very expensive, while many of the natural cleaners discussed below are reasonably priced, and will save you money in the long run.
Using natural substances to clean your establishment will go a long way to making you feel like you are contributing to a positive future. Harsh chemical cleaners can deplete the ozone and damage the environment when we dump them down the drain or on the ground.



Tried and trusted Vinegar


Using vinegar for more than making your favourite slap
chips

 

Few people realise the multiple uses of vinegar in the home. Firstly, it is an all-natural product, making it a far wiser choice as an alternative to harsh and strong-smelling chemicals. Secondly, vinegar can be used in a huge variety of ways, from flavouring
a plate of chips to cleaning your shoes. The following tips can be used in your home, your accommodation establishment and even outdoors.


Who’s doing the washing?


The laundry department in any accommodation
establishment, be it small or large, is an extremely
important link between the guests and the general smooth running of housekeeping.

 

The obvious function of the laundry department is to process soiled linen of all kinds, including all bed linen, bathroom linen, dining linen, staff uniforms and lastly guests’ clothing items. The
laundry department will launder, dry clean, tumble dry, press or iron the linen, and supply housekeeping with fresh supplies to ensure that high standards can be maintained.



Fabulous first impressions


Have you ever heard someone say that “a firstimpression is a lasting impression”?

 

Unlike many other clichés this one is actually true. The first impression of your establishment will set the tone for how your guests view their entire experience.


Cleanliness is next to godliness


We all know that even the most beautiful setting, the most attentive service and the most delicious food cannot make up for bad housekeeping. No matter what rate the guest is paying, he expects (and has a right to) a clean room.

 

We also know that housekeeping is one of the most challenging departments to run effectively and cost efficiently. A leading hotel group in South Africa recognized that for their management to truly understand the specific challenges facing their housekeeping
staff they had to step into the shoes of those cleaners, they had to get “down and dirty”.
