Understanding Sanitisation

Sanitisation aims to reduce the number of micro-organisms on surfaces to a safe level, as defined by health and safety standards. It is an essential step in the cleaning process, particularly in high-touch and high-traffic areas.

Choosing a Sanitiser

Sanitising agents are substances or products designed to kill or inhibit the growth of micro-organisms. Common sanitising agents include disinfectants, sanitising sprays, wipes or solutions. The choice of sanitiser depends on the type of surface and the specific micro-organisms being targeted.

High-Touch Surfaces

Focus on sanitising high-touch surfaces commonly used by guests, such as doorknobs, light switches, remote controls, handles, taps and worktops. These areas can harbour a significant amount of bacteria and viruses and should be given special attention during the sanitising process.

Bathroom Sanitisation

Pay particular attention to Sanitising surfaces in the bathroom, as it is a critical area for maintaining cleanliness and hygiene. Clean and sanitise the toilet bowl, sink, shower or bathtub, faucets, and other bathroom fixtures. Ensure that all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and treated with an appropriate Sanitising agent.

Kitchen Sanitisation

Pay particular attention to sanitising surfaces in the bathroom, as this is a critical area for maintaining cleanliness and hygiene. Clean and sanitise the toilet bowl, washbasin, shower or bath, taps and other bathroom fittings. Ensure that all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and treated with an appropriate disinfectant.

Correct Application

Follow the sanitiser manufacturer’s instructions for proper application and contact time. Different sanitisers may have different contact times required to effectively kill or neutralise microorganisms. It’s important to allow sufficient contact time for the sanitiser to work effectively.

Safety Precautions

Take the necessary safety precautions when using disinfectants. This may include wearing gloves, ensuring proper ventilation in the area being sanitised, and avoiding the use of incompatible chemicals that may produce harmful fumes or reactions.

Laundering and Linen Sanitisation

Take care when disinfecting linen, including sheets, pillowcases, towels and other woven items. Wash them with appropriate detergents at a high enough temperature to kill any potential micro-organisms. If necessary, use sanitising additives or products specifically designed for sanitising laundry.

Regular Sanitisation

Disinfection should be carried out regularly and consistently to maintain a hygienic environment. Develop a cleaning schedule that includes frequent sanitising of high-touch surfaces and other critical areas. This will help minimise the risk of cross-contamination and ensure that the accommodation remains clean and safe for guests.

Compliance with Guidelines

Follow local health and safety guidelines and regulations for sanitising practices. Keep abreast of any updates or recommendations from the relevant authorities to ensure the sanitising process meets the required standards.

A Safe and Healthy Environment

Sanitising is an important aspect of cleaning short-term rental accommodation as it helps to create a safe and healthy environment for guests. By effectively sanitising surfaces, the rental property can reduce the risk of disease transmission and provide guests with peace of mind during their stay.
