Due to the pandemic of Covid-19, a plummet in tourism speaks for itself. The sector of hospitality is making every effort to sterilise its facilities and to give guests a sense of security and calmness as what they ask for.
Some of the measures that are being taken include washing all bedding and sterilizing it, limiting numbers in amenities, requiring certificates of disinfection for external laundries and even proposing to use disposable cloths. However, all aforementioned is little to prevent the spread of the virus.
But what could we do with the items that cannot be disinfected so easily?
Like curtains, duvets, walls, carpets, pillows… The material they are made from does not allow, in many occasions, the use of aggressive cleaning agents that are so necessary at this moment.
For this reason, the future is opening up to new models of sterilisation that large hotel chains such as Marriot and Hilton have already begun to apply with. We are referring to the latest technology such as UV-C light.
Why is UV-C light perfect for hotel sterilisation?
Ultraviolet light is a very effective solution (99.9%) for eliminating viruses, bacteria and fungi in the air and on surfaces.
Moreover, it is very versatile since it is not only limited to disinfect rooms, but also common areas, kitchens, restaurants, lifts and even sterilise objects such as keys, pens or devices that are shared with other colleagues such as keyboards.
However, as with any technology, it is necessary to respect their instruction manual and pay attention to the recommendations of manufacturers. It is also important for our devices to meet all compliance standards and get certificated by laborites and microbial research centers.
