COVID-19 Cleaning Tips

Updating Your Cleaning Protocols

Training Your Cleaning Staff

• You and/or your staff should be wearing gloves while cleaning.
• Let disinfectants set on surfaces long enough to do their job.
• Follow instructions on the manufacturer’s label precisely.

Update Your Cleaning Products

• Use cleaning products pre-approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use against emerging viral pathogens.
  • Here is the current list of disinfectants with EPA pre-approval (PDF)
• Add disinfectant when washing laundry to sanitize linens that may have become contaminated with the virus.

Clean Common Areas More Frequently

• Common spaces, the front desk, and any high touch areas such as buttons, knobs, and tables need to be cleaned frequently throughout the day.
• Approaching these areas with a “cleaning theatre” mentality can help instill trust in your guests.
• Consider posting signage of your routines or staff handwashing instructions
