COVID-19: Cleaning Protocols
To ensure the safety of our guests during the COVID-19 pandemic the following changes will be made to our cleaning protocols:
Products used for disinfecting
Products should contain disinfecting agent certified for EN 14476
Kitchen crockery utensils
All crockery/kitchen utensils will either be freshly washed and left in dishwasher to avoid contamination or hand-washed with gloves and placed in cupboards.
Extra cleaning will take place on every changeover:
CLEANING CHECKLIST
Appropriate protective clothing should be worn when cleaning, and protective clothing should be changed between properties.
All surfaces are to be cleaned first, then disinfected
Consideration should be taken to address the impact of children as well as adults: touching lower wall heights and parts of furniture.
