Enhanced procedures for handling linen
Issued by: Diversey
It's more important than ever that hotels can keep guests reassured that they are taking cleaning and hygiene practices, and guest safety seriously!
Part of this is the cleanliness, hygiene and quality of linen products. Poor preparation will affect the safety and experience for your guests, yourself, and eventually the image and reputation of your workplace.
In the Enhanced procedures for handling linen course, Diversey will teach you how to correctly clean and disinfect linen with two procedures: deep cleaning and enhanced cleaning.
You'll learn about the high risk surfaces found in a laundry area and how you can keep safe. You'll also review the linen workflow under the circumstances of reopening a hotel, or during suspected infection.
For your safety, Diversey recommends you pay attention to proper dosage of these chemicals when cleaning. You can find these details on the Diversey product label on each item bottle. Each chemical also has a Safety Data Sheet. These are available at your workplace, or on the Diversey website. Links are available in each lesson in this course.
