5 Expert Tips to Maintain Your Hotel Furniture

Your quick guide to transforming your hotel furniture maintenance routine.

As a hotel or restaurant owner or manager, you know that a first impression is everything when it comes to attracting and retaining customers. Your space needs to look its absolute best — and that includes your furniture.

But with constant use and wear and tear, keeping your furniture in top condition can be a significant challenge.

If you’re not careful, your once-pristine pieces can quickly become scratched, scuffed, and dull, leaving your guests less impressed with your facility.

Don’t worry, though, we’ve got you covered.

In this blog, we’re sharing 5 tips for maintaining your hotel furniture like a pro, so you can avoid costly replacements and give your guests an unforgettable experience.

Plus, we’re introducing you to a game-changing product that can make the whole process a breeze: Crew Furniture Cleaner and Maintainer from Diversey Prosumer Solutions.

Ready to transform your furniture maintenance routine and take your hospitality game to the next level? Let’s get started.

#1] Clean Regularly With the Right Products

Diversey Crew Furniture Cleaner and Maintainer

The first step in any maintenance routine is to remove any dust or debris that has accumulated on the furniture.

This can be done by dusting or vacuuming the furniture with a soft-bristled brush or using a microfiber cloth to wipe it down.

When it comes to cleaning your furniture, it’s important to use a product that is safe and effective.

Crew Furniture Cleaner and Maintainer is a professional-grade cleaning solution that is specifically formulated to clean and protect wooden furniture.

Its deep cleaning formula helps remove dirt, grime, and stains, while also protecting the furniture from future damage.

How to Use Crew Furniture Cleaner and Maintainer?

Step 1 – Pour this ready-to-use product into a spray bottle and shake well before use.

Step 2 – Spray the product onto a clean cloth.

Step 3 – Wipe down all wooden surfaces and polish them to a fine sheen. Work the product into the grain of the wood.

Benefits of Crew Furniture Cleaner and Maintainer

  • Protects and prolongs the life of wooden furniture
  • Keeps it looking new for years to come
  • Leaves a deep, lustrous sheen
  • Simple and easy to apply
  • Dries quickly

#2] Address Spills and Stains Immediately

Leaving a spill or stain unattended can cause it to set in. This makes it much harder to remove it later on.

To address spills and stains immediately, follow these guidelines:

  • Blot the affected area with a clean cloth.
  • Avoid rubbing the stain, as this can spread it further.
  • Wipe off the stain with Crew Furniture Cleaner and Maintainer.

#3] Protect Furniture From Direct Sunlight

Direct sunlight can damage your furniture by fading its colour and causing cracking or warping.

Here are some tips for protecting your furniture from direct sunlight:

  • Use window treatments, like blinds or curtains to block out the sun’s rays during the hottest parts of the day.
  • Rearrange your furniture periodically to prevent constant exposure to sunlight.
  • Use protective covers or sealants to shield your furniture from harmful UV rays.

#4] Use Protective Covers When Necessary

A protective cover can go a long way in maintaining your furniture’s appearance. It can shield your furniture from dust, spills, and other potential hazards.

Here are some tips for using protective covers:

  • Choose the right cover for your furniture. Make sure the cover is the right size and shape to fit your furniture properly.
  • Use covers made of breathable materials. This will prevent moisture from getting trapped inside and causing damage.
  • Use covers that are easy to clean. This will make it easy to maintain the cover itself, ensuring that it remains in good condition.

Use covers that are UV resistant. This is especially important if you’re protecting outdoor furniture, as UV rays can cause fading and discolouration.

#5] Conduct Regular Inspections and Maintenance

Here are some tips to help you conduct effective inspections and maintenance:

  • Look for loose screws, broken legs, or wobbly chairs.
  • Address issues immediately to prevent further damage and ensure your guests’ safety.
  • Check for signs of termites or bed bugs, and take immediate action.
  • Regularly clean and condition your furniture with Crew Furniture Cleaner and Maintainer.
  • Hire a professional furniture restoration service for more extensive repairs or refinishing.

Conclusion

Maintaining hotel furniture takes effort. But with these expert tips from Diversey Prosumer, you can extend the lifespan of your pieces and keep them looking great for years to come.

Start implementing these tips today and see the difference for yourself.

How To Get Your Hotel Hygiene Ready For Christmas And NYE

Some mandatory guidelines to ensure your guests' and patrons’ holidays are infection-free

After a slump for over 2 years, domestic and international travel has resumed nearly fully. The hotel industry’s occupancy levels have soared to pre-COVID levels. As the hospitality industry gears up to cater to travellers during the Christmas festivities and New Year’s eve, hygiene has become an important consideration for people to check into any hotel.

This blog lists health and hygiene tips to make your guests feel safe. With these measures, you will give guests great confidence that you care about their health and win trust that will sustain in the future, too.

A] Disinfection

Disinfect high-touch surfaces in rooms and open areas with a highly effective alcohol-based sanitiser. Such sites are doorknobs, handrails, light switches, tables, chairs, desks, toilets, sinks, remotes, wardrobes, cabinet handles, bedside tables, and kitchen and bathroom counters. 

Inform your guests about your daily disinfection routine throughout the premises or at the reception, via small placards or standees.

Opt for Crew Disinfectant Spray and Wipe!

  • It is a one-step QAC-based single-step disinfectant & cleaner.
  • It disinfects hard surfaces without corroding them.
  • It is proven to eliminate 99.9% of pathogenic germs.

  • It kills 99.99% of the highly resistant pathogenic germs and ensures hands don’t turn dry.
  • This sanitiser has a thick texture to offer longer product-skin contact time and effective germicidal action.

C] Handwashing

Equip every washroom with Soft Care Antibacterial Handwash. Instal a small placard with a reminder for guests to wash their hands regularly with this handwash and practise correct handwashing as per guidelines laid down by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Make them feel safer with educational information posted in their rooms and public spaces.

Soft Care Antibacterial Handwash:

Tips For A Streak-Free Shine On Your Glass Windows

Know the secret to tips to clean glass windows and get sparkling clean glass windows in less than 5 minutes

Glass Window Cleaning Worries!

Who wouldn’t like clean windows? Clean windows let in more natural light, offer a pretty view of the outdoors, and boost mood considerably. Yet when it comes to window glass cleaning, we often resort to cheap cleaning solutions. The common mindset is only to remove the dirt onto the surface of the glass. Once this is done, we think the glass window has got back its shine. Unfortunately, the reality is different. 

Did you know?

The dirt accumulated on glass windows could degrade the glass over time? Also, if glass cleaning is not done right, the glass could be left with streaks. And, with all of these issues, any satisfaction of using the glass window would quickly fade away.

Even if you have been careful about glass cleaning, have you ever seen streaks and dust visible onto the surface after cleaning the glass? No matter how much you spray the cleaning solution, the glass looks unclean and streaked.

What’s are the tips to clean glass windows?

You need a reliable partner for glass window cleaning. You need a professional-grade glass cleaner to get rid of these streaks, smudges, and cloudy film fog that ruin the pretty view from your room. You need Crew Concentrated Glass and Household Cleaner.

It leaves the glass surface clean and streak-free in a single action. You could also use it to clean glass display cases, glass table tops, TV screens, and mirrors.

This is not all. If you want crystal-clear windows, you not only need to invest in the right cleaning solution, but must also know some tips to clean glass windows! Or else, you will end up spending a lot more time and money, hiring professional cleaners.

This blog quickly offers you the right method to clean glass windows using Crew Concentrated Glass and Household Cleaner, as well as some easy-peasy tips to clean glass windows.

 

The Method

Step 1: Dilution

Firstly, prepare a diluted cleaning solution. Use 20-50 ml and mix it with 1 litre of water.

Step 2: Clean the glass

Spray a sufficient quantity of diluted cleaning solution onto a clean cloth/sponge. Start wiping the glass in clean horizontal strokes starting from the top to bottom. This avoids any liquid dripping vertically on the glass. Using a microfiber cloth or a dedicated glass cleaner is highly recommended to ensure streak free cleaning in one go.

At times, the smudge could be hard to be removed in one go. In such a case, get a razor. Certainly not the one that we shave with. Get the razor designed for window cleaning. Hold the razor at a 45-degree angle. Such razors help you scrape off hard water deposits or materials accumulated on the window without scratching the window itself.

Crew Concentrated Glass and Household Cleaner is formulated with tough actives that eliminate the stains and fog on the glass surface in a single attempt. It rapidly removes oily spots and fingerprints on the surface. Use the razor only if there is excess dirt or build-up on the glass’s surface.

Step 3: Use a squeegee

Take a squeegee and start cleaning the glass surface. Make sure that the squeegee is in constant contact with the glass, or else you will end up spending more time wiping the surface with a dry cloth.

Step 4: Wipe dry

Lastly, take a dry towel or a lint-free microfiber cloth and dry off the edges around the window. Inspect the glass surface from another angle to see if there are water traces on it. Wipe off the excess water to avoid a water line all around the glass surface.

Tips to Clean Glass Windows (Do's and Don'ts)

Do’s

  • Put on eye wear before you begin cleaning to avoid any accidental splash of the cleaning solution into your eyes.

  • Spray the cleaning solution on the cloth, not directly on the glass. This practice prevents streaking of glass.

  • Use glass microfiber rags of Diversey for best results.

  • Wash the microfiber cloth separately to avoid cross contamination.

  • Use distilled water, if possible. The mineral content in the tap water could make the windows dirtier faster.

  • Look at the window from another angle before completing the cleaning. Often this step helps you see spots that you may have missed while cleaning.

  • Ensure the recommended dilution. Over dilution can result in streaks on the glass surface, whereas low dilution can result in incomplete removal of soil and stains

Don’ts

  • Use a razor to scrape interior windows with tint. The razor will cut right through them, and add to your costs. For an interior window, use a bristled brush or toothbrush on the hard-to-clean areas.

  • Avoid cleaning the glass surface with a newspaper. They could scratch the glass and leave ink marks on the surface. Always use a microfiber cloth. It picks up soil better and efficiently, it doesn’t leave any fiber behind, and it doesn’t streak glass. 

  • Avoid using dirty cloths to avoid cross contamination.

  • Avoid the rainbow effect when cleaning glass at a height. Use Diversey’s telescopic pole or use a squeegee to clean glass at a height.

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?
