Quick Solutions For Your Hotel Bathroom Cleaning

Cleaning the hotel bathroom will never be tedious again. Know how!

A question for the housekeeping staff!
We asked the housekeeping staff of some hotels — “What is the most tedious part of hotel room cleaning?”

Over 90% of them responded: Hotel bathrooms.

Here’s the thing — the housekeeping staff finds a task tedious, which incidentally is the most important aspect that a guest is looking for

In a survey conducted by Diversey in collaboration with the Hotelschool The Hague, cleanliness of the hotel bathroom ranks at the top for delivering a great impression to hotel guests. According to this survey, a clean bathroom ranks at 4.68 on a scale of 5.

So, why is hotel bathroom cleaning a tedious task for the staff? Because, it takes a lot of time and effort to keep the bathroom squeaky clean, fragrant, and pristine.

Most of the time, the staff’s cleaning cart has different products with different applications. Many of these products either fail to deliver the goods quickly or are so expensive that their constant usage is not encouraged.

Is there a solution in sight?

Are you curious already? Read on!

Cleaning challenge #1 — Shower, sink, and tap

Showerhead, sink, and tap tend to lose their sheen quickly. When it comes to cleaning these assets, merely periodic cleaning isn’t enough. You need a cleaning solution that is designed to be tough on stains but gentle on the material. You need Multi Surface Crème Cleanser.

Switch to Multi Surface Crème Cleanser because it:

  • Eliminates stubborn spots, build-ups, scuff marks, rubber marks, and soap scum without ever scratching a surface.

  • Makes it easy to clean washable surfaces made of porcelain, stainless steel, and fibreglass.

  • Clings to vertical surfaces to increase effectiveness.

  • Is safe to use owing to its alkaline pH.

  • Is easy to use and pleasantly scented.

How to use Multi Surface Crème Cleanser?

Step 1 — Squeeze the product onto a wet cloth or brush, or sponge.

Step 2 — Loosen soilage with a rubbing action and rinse. If the area is heavily soiled, remove excess soil before usage.

Cleaning challenge #2 — Floor and tiles

The tiles add to the bathroom’s shine. So, it is critical to use a cleaning solution that makes them spotlessly clean effectively. Worry not when you have Crew Bathroom Cleaner and Descaler.

How to use Crew Bathroom Cleaner and Descaler?

For normal soilage:

Step 1 — Use 15 ml to dilute 1 litre of water.

Step 2 — Spray the diluted solution onto a clean cloth/sponge and apply it to the surface.

Step 3 — Scrub to remove stains.

Step 4 — Rinse with water.

Step 5 — Clean and wipe the surface.

Step 6 — Spray and wipe for daily maintenance.

Cleaning challenge #3 — Toilet bowl

Here comes the most cumbersome part of the hotel bathroom cleaning. The toilet bowl is almost the hotbed of germs and stains. Also, if there were a scale of ‘Pleasant Cleaning Tasks’ between 0 to 5, this task would feature in the negative. When you have Crew Toilet Cleaner, the job becomes swifter, easier, and affordable.

Switch to Crew Toilet Bowl Cleaner because it:

  • Is specially formulated to eliminate limescale deposits and hard-to-clean stains. 

  • Comes with a unique fast-action formula that works in less than 10 minutes.

  • Has an easy flow mechanism that covers more area of the bowl with the lesser solution.

  • Offers extended time contact with ideal viscosity.

How to use Crew Toilet Bowl Cleaner?

Step 1 – Pour the product into a squeeze bottle and flush the toilet.

Step 2 – Direct the nozzle under the toilet rim and apply the product evenly across the surface.

Step 3 – Leave for 10 minutes,

Step 4 – Brushing the bowl and flush the toilet.

Cleaning Kitchen cleaning Professional Cleaning Practices Veg and Fruit Wash

Is Your Kitchen Stocked With Sumabrite Veg & Fruit Wash?

This vegetable and fruit wash is a must-have for your kitchen. Know why.
Safety in the new normal

As the pandemic restrictions ease and restaurants open up, customers will make a beeline to revisit their culinary memories. The government has released a list of best practices for restaurateurs and owners of cloud kitchens and catering businesses.

These guidelines aim at avoiding any risk of infection and making the restaurant a safe spot for guests. While these precautions focus on the sitting area and servers’ attire, the kitchen may stay overlooked.

Are you talking about the basic hygiene in the kitchen?

Yes! You may think that it is a usual practice for chefs to maintain basic hygiene. Now the extent and frequency of sanitization would also be more than ever. So, there is no need to keep additional precautions in the kitchen.

You are missing a thought!

The pandemic brought to our attention the risk of infection through contact. And, when it comes to a restaurant or catering business, the supplies — vegetables and fruits — have a high risk of spreading infection through multiple contacts with vendors and suppliers. The effect of food safety goes beyond COVID-19, as researchers have identified more than 250 foodborne diseases. Most of them are infections caused by bacteria, viruses and parasites.

If you are running a small business, any food safety incident could have an adverse impact on your brand which could even get amplified in the age of social media.

But we rinse fruits and veggies thoroughly with water!

Water rinsing is not enough. You need a vegetable wash that removes germs, waxes, and pesticides. You require Sumabrite Veg & Fruit Wash.

What is Sumabrite Veg & Fruit Wash?

It is a concentrated liquid wash for vegetables and fruits. Most of the fruits and vegetables that restaurants and catering businesses buy are rarely washed and have multiple touchpoints from farm to kitchen.

Because of this, bacteria, such as E. coli and Salmonella, that are present on the foods could make the customers sick if they eat only washed fruits. There are also pesticides that are sprayed on the fruits and vegetables, which can cause food poisoning.

Do I need a vegetable wash even if we buy only organic products?

Just because fruits and vegetables are organically grown, it does not necessarily mean they are free of contaminants. Contaminants exist in the environment. Lastly, there is a risk of contamination during the handling of these fruits and vegetables, right from the farm to the store.

Often, vendors treat fruits with exposed edible skin like apples and cucumbers with wax to increase their shelf life. While these waxes are technically food-grade, they must be avoided as much as possible. Sumabrite Veg & Fruit Wash cleans away all this grit and grime, which running tap water won’t do. In other words, it is a hygienic shield to the fruits and vegetables.

But why only Sumabrite Veg & Fruit Cleaner?

Benefit #1 — It is effective

Sumabrite Veg & Fruit Wash is specially formulated to remove surface contaminants, edible wax, dirt, pesticides, and bacteria. It thoroughly cleans fruits and vegetables, leaving your foods nearly germ-free. 

Benefit #2 — It has multiple applications

You could use this vegetable wash on fresh vegetables, fruits, cut vegetables, and mushrooms.

Benefit #3 — It is safe

Sumabrite Veg & Fruit Wash is made using ingredients listed in the Food Standard Code (FSANZ). These ingredients are generally permitted processing aids for fruits and vegetables.

It is free of soap, chlorine, alcohol, perfume, added preservatives, and harmful chemicals. Sumabrite Veg & Fruit Wash is backed by pioneering research that makes it completely safe for use and also keeps the fruits and vegetables fresh.

Benefit #4 — It doesn’t impact the taste and smell of foods

Its formula comes in a tamper-proof self-sealing bottle. It does not alter the taste and aroma of the fruits and vegetables after cleaning. No smell too!

Benefit #5 — It saves water

When you buy this vegetable and fruit wash, you end up saving precious water, as there is no more need to rinse or wash the fruits and vegetables.

Benefit #6 — It is economical

The concentrated formula can make up to 80 liters of wash solution. This wash makes it an economical choice for daily use. It is effective for up to 8 hours. That means once the solution is prepared it can be reused for a number of batches, saving not only water but the product itself.

How do I make the wash solution?

Take 25 ml of this wash in a measuring cup and add 4 liters of water. Soak the fruits and vegetables for 30 seconds. Remove and use or store. It is as simple as making your favorite dish!

Final words

Why only rinse fruits and vegetables with water when you could clean them with Sumabrite Veg & Fruit Wash?

Remember, as we step into the new normal, it becomes a matter of personal responsibility to ensure that the fruits and vegetables that our customers consume are cleaned and contaminant-free.

This form of hygiene is vital to ensuring personal safety at all times, whether pandemic or not. So, when are you safeguarding your patrons’ health and stocking your kitchen with Sumabrite Veg & Fruit Wash?

How to Keep Your Food Outlet Spick-And-Span With Professional Cleaning Practices?

A hassle-free cleaning guide sheet for small food outlets
Say hello to Sumabrite

Most small food establishments, such as a cloud kitchen, or a café or a takeaway outlet, or a small restaurant avoid employing professional cleaning services. Why? To keep the costs in check! They prefer their regular staff for cleaning.

However, massive customer footfall during peak times or festive occasions, such as Diwali increases the staff’s workload and work timings, impacting the cleaning.

Also, the regular staff employed for cleaning may not be aware of the different resources they could use for quick and hassle-free cleaning. This lack of time, knowledge, and expertise could be a costly affair.

That is where the Sumabrite kitchen-care portfolio comes in.

Just as every team has diverse talents to help the team attain their goal, so does Sumabrite kitchen-care portfolio offer a range of cleaning solutions, equipped for different needs, but meeting one common objective — A clean food outlet with a hygienic kitchen.

In this blog, we will walk you through two of our star players to keep your food outlet spotless, that too quickly and hassle-free with the power of SumabriteTM.

Guideline #1 — Invest in an all-rounder for basic cleaning

A clean food outlet is a welcoming place for both your employers and customers. Often, outlet managers purchase different cleaners for different purposes, considering their efficacy. But during hectic work hours, confusion of one product over the other and lack of knowledge leads to product wastage of unuse.

Wouldn’t you prefer to have one cleaning solution that does the work of all?

Presenting Sumabrite All Rounder. It is a unique, high-performance concentrate that caters to a variety of kitchen cleaning needs.

  • Removes heavy oil and greasy deposits
  • Is excellent for cleaning greasy kitchen floors
  • Is gentle on hands

  • Enables easy dilution and application due to its thick formulation

At times, the floor of the front side of your restaurant might have stubborn shoe prints or dirt that refuses to go off with a basic cleaner. There are times when stubborn stains get deposited on the kitchen floor. Any such kind of dirt accumulation on the floor poses a risk of food contamination.
