A recent survey revealed that when it comes to choosing hotels, guests are prioritizing cleanliness.

Trends in the hospitality industry are clearly indicating that clean is the new green.
While contactless technology and sanitized spaces help guests get to their rooms safely, there are a few steps you can take to present a welcoming and sanitized bedroom. One of the top cleanliness signals for guests is the condition of the linen. Let’s look at how to keep your hotel bedding, pillows, and mattresses clean and protected.
How To Sanitize Hotel Room Beds
Guests’ expectations have changed, sanitized spaces are a must. They want to know everything when it comes to hotel hygiene. From the brand of cleaning product to the added safety measures put in place. The more you do, the more confident your guests feel to book and even rebook.
Hotel room items such as pillows and duvets can trap contaminants. Unfortunately, cleaning them regularly with heat and water can ruin the filling, causing it to clump and break down.
A cost-saving, yet quality alternative is to use a specially designed protective cover. These can handle regular washing along with daily linen. Antimicrobial bedding protectors add to the measures taken to protect guests, killing pathogens on contact. Antimicrobial protectors help keep hotel guests safe from infection.
There are a few key items in hotel rooms that can benefit from an added layer of protection.
