If hotel housekeepers are to be believed, every object inside a hotel is a potential source of dust, and every hotel surface is prone to gathering dust. As one of our respondents said in jest, the only way to keep a hotel dust-free is to hermetically seal it, and allow guests to check in only with the breathing masks and oxygen tanks!
Jokes apart, as summer approaches, the burden of dust control – which is perennial – is especially heightened. Every facet of a guest’s hospitality experience is at risk of being marred by dust. A dusty bed will lead to a disturbed sleep, dusty furniture is an eyesore and dust-lined corridors are a guarantee for no return stays.
Just where does this dust come from? How should it be eliminated from various areas and surfaces? Can it be prevented from entering or forming in the first place? Out with the old-fashioned rags and plain mops – what are the latest techniques and equipment for dust control?
Three housekeeping experts share everything they know, as well as practical tips and tricks for others to implement.
1) ‘Dust grows faster in a closed space’
2) ‘Dust removal need not be time-consuming’
3) ‘Whether a guest room is occupied or not, it needs daily cleaning’
