The guests are coming!
Yes! The new recreational season is about to start. After the winter and months of grey weather, many people are itching to get back out there and you can start receiving guests again. These guests are of course alert to (sanitary) hygiene. "Can I go here with peace of mind?" It's time to check if hygiene in recreation is well organized!
Whether it's campsites, day recreation or trips and attractions such as amusement parks, zoos and museums; hygiene plays an important role in the overall experience of your guests.
Hygiene in recreation has priority
Meet the higher demands of guests
Visitor expectations are higher than ever. Where a washroom or restroom may have been less than perfectly clean in the past, it can now mean "I might get sick here". The last thing you want is a source of contamination on your premises.
What are the sanitary facilities like?
When choosing an accommodation, people look at sites like Zoover or Tripadvisor for information. More often than you might think, general hygiene and "the state of the sanitary facilities" come up as criteria that can have a big impact on the overall rating.
At CWS, we work on hygiene every day. We visit more than 250,000 addresses in Europe, which makes us a very large sanitary hygiene specialist. Here are three tips for good hygiene in recreation facilities.
2. Make it easy and attractive
The more attractive a washroom and sanitary facilities are, the better your guests will wash their hands. Choose beautiful robust dispensers, a soap with a nice fragrance and, for example, foam soap that feels even more pleasant and saves soap and water at the same time.
Or how about Non Touch? Non-contact dispensers that you do not have to touch at all for better hygiene in the recreation.
The best user experience for your guests
Did you know that you can optimize your cleaning and maintenance rounds with our smart IoT solution smartMate? By using a dashboard or app to keep track of consumption in your sanitation facilities through real-time data, you can focus precisely on the spot that needs attention at that moment.
You know exactly how many people have visited a restroom and where you need to refill soap, toilet paper or towels. A great solution in busy times, ensuring that your guests never miss out again and have the best user experience!
3. Drying hands is just as important as washing them
Did you know that wet hands spread up to a thousand times more bacteria than dry hands? So drying your hands is just as important as washing your hands with soap. Good drying facilities are an important part of hygiene in recreation.
Paper or cotton
In the recreational sector, a paper towel dispenser is often chosen. Consider also the alternative: a towel dispenser with cotton. 100% hygienic, sustainable and economical.
In addition, this prevents paper from being left lying around and eliminates the need to place waste bins in the washroom. Saves the cleaners some work, too!
Hygiene under the spotlight
Avoid complaints and bad reviews about your sanitary facilities
The weather is sunny again, Corona seems to be mostly a thing of the past, and nothing can stand in the way of a successful leisure season. However, bad online reviews can put a damper on things. Research shows that guests stay away when reviews are bad. Hygiene is often a major factor.
We're out of toilet paper!
If the toilets and washrooms are not cleaned properly or on time, and the sanitary facilities are untidy or malfunctioning, guests will soon feel uncomfortable and are more likely not to return.
Constant availability of toilet paper, soap and hand drying is a must, as you don't want to run out during the busy summer months. CWS is here to help.
