The guests are coming!
Yes, they are! The new leisure season is just around the corner. After the winter and months of gray weather, many people are itching to get outdoors again, and you can start receiving guests again. These guests are of course concerned about (sanitary) hygiene. "Can I go here without worrying about the hygiene situation?" It's time to check if hygiene in recreation is well organized!
Whether it's campgrounds, day recreation or excursions 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 might 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 in your facility.
What are the sanitary facilities like?
When choosing an accommodation, people look for information on sites like Zoover or Tripadvisor. 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 recreational facilities.
2. Make it easy and attractive
The more attractive a washroom and toilet facility is, the more likely your guests are to wash their hands. Choose beautiful, durable dispensers, a nice scented soap and, for example, a foam soap that feels even better to the touch 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 the dashboard or app to track usage in your washroom facilities with real-time data, you can focus on the area that needs the most attention.
You know exactly how many people have visited a restroom and where you need to refill soap, toilet paper or towels. A great solution for the busy times ahead, 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 can 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 dispenser prevents paper from being left lying around and eliminates the need to place waste bins in the washroom. Saves the cleaning staff some work, too!
Hygiene under the spotlight
Avoid complaints and bad reviews about your sanitary facilities
The weather is sunny again and nothing stands 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 facilities is a must as you don't want to run out during the busy summer months. CWS is here to help
