The surfaces in an average hotel room are dirtier than those in an ordinary home, and hotel showers contain 25,000 times more bacteria than a toilet seat.
 
Hygiene in hotels.
 
The modern hotel industry has a wide range of rules that guarantee high-quality hotel services in accordance with current legislation, always complying with certain rules and standards for health, hygiene, and epidemiological prevention.
The constant flow of guests can create conditions for the emergence and spread of infectious diseases, as there may be sick people, carriers of pathogens, or people with latent diseases (without clinical manifestations) among them. The right choice of cleaning products and impeccable cleanliness of the rooms and the hotel as a whole, as well as the neatness of the staff, enhance the status of the hotel and its popularity among visitors.
 
Where are the dirtiest places in a hotel?
 
The following areas are usually most exposed to contaminants, viruses, and bacteria:

 

  • lobby and reception desk

  • stairs and corridors

  • entrances and door handles

  • countertops and tables

  • visitor chairs and furniture

  • sanitary facilities
     

Where are the dirtiest places in a hotel room?
 
Along with dirt in hard-to-reach places (under the bed, window sills, picture frames), bedspreads, decorative pillows, and blankets are among the dirtiest surfaces in hotel rooms. Unlike sheets, which are changed and washed when guests change, these items often remain unwashed for weeks or even months, leading to the accumulation of dead skin cells, saliva, body fluids, and other pathogenic bacteria and microbes. They are rarely cleaned by housekeeping staff as they are not in direct contact with guests, making them a hidden source of germs. Hotel room phones, TV remote controls, and air conditioning controls are also frequently touched surfaces that often contain harmful bacteria. Showers, shower curtains, bathtubs, and even sinks can contain dangerous bacteria such as Legionella, which can cause Legionnaires' disease.
 
Air pollution in hotels.
 
Air pollution in hotels is a source of many inconveniences for both guests and the hotels themselves. The air quality in a hotel is influenced by temperature, humidity, chemical or biological pollutants, and the presence and activities of people. The air quality in enclosed spaces is determined by several factors, one of which is the presence of pollutants.
 
Factors contributing to poor air quality include:

 

  • Chemicals: Some chemical pollutants are carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, ammonia, sulfur dioxide, and formaldehyde in buildings, originating from building materials, cigarette smoke, and even human metabolism. Cleaning products, tobacco, and even perfumes can cause respiratory irritation. To avoid the smell of certain products, many hotels decide to use ozone generators. However, ozone is a gas that, when inhaled in high concentrations, can cause irritation to the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs.

  • Mold (fungi): Moisture leads to the formation of mold. Mold colonies spread by releasing invisible particles into the air called spores, which when inhaled can cause allergies (about 80% of allergic people are sensitive to mold) and even infectious diseases.

  • Mites: Mites are directly linked to respiratory allergies and asthma. These microorganisms are mainly found in carpets, pillows, and mattresses. They prefer damp places rich in dead skin cells. The waste products of these organisms contain substances that cause allergies. Making the bed or vacuuming can increase the concentration of these substances up to 1000 times. Even the best vacuum cleaners are unable to remove them.
     

Biological pollutants such as fungi, protozoa, bacteria, and dust mites, whose spread is facilitated by improper cleaning of carpets, rugs, and curtains, cause what is known as sick building syndrome (SBS). The syndrome describes the relationship between conditions in enclosed spaces with reduced air circulation and the various levels at which physical, chemical, or microbiological organisms threaten the health of occupants.
 
Did you know that many tourists today choose a hotel based on whether they expect to sleep well there?
 
Recently, more and more hoteliers have been working on the idea of how to make their guests' stay an unforgettable experience and a memory for a lifetime. The programs and packages they develop are full of a wide variety of offers. Many hotels have air purifiers, but unfortunately this is only one aspect of creating a healthy indoor environment. Proper ventilation, regular cleaning, and minimizing the use of products that emit pollutants are also important strategies for maintaining good indoor air quality, which in turn affects the sleep and comfort of hotel guests.
 
Impeccable hygiene attracts guests to the hotel.
 
Safe and environmentally friendly consumables keep them coming back.
 
Biomatra products offer both.
 
It is widely accepted that bacteria are harmful and must be destroyed. In this war, humanity is not the winner. Bacteria have existed for about 4 billion years and continue to exist. Bacteria are both harmful (pathogenic) and beneficial (probiotic). By destroying them, we kill both harmful and beneficial bacteria and disrupt the biological balance. Many of them become resistant with frequent use of a particular product. Bacteria are involved in processes that are vital to humans and the environment, so it is better to try to use them rather than destroy them.
Biomatra cleaning products are developed on the basis of probiotics. They contain beneficial bacteria that penetrate deep into the micropores of surfaces where stubborn dirt and pathogenic bacteria hide. At the same time, by creating a probiotic film, they act for a long time (5-7 days) after application to the contaminated surface. The probiotic bacteria in Biomatra products are natural microorganisms isolated from nature and are harmless to humans, animals, and the environment.
 
Probiotic-based cleaning products do not damage surfaces and provide safe and long-lasting protection during cleaning without abrasive action. This means that surfaces look new for longer and do not need to be replaced as often. In addition, they provide a higher return on investment – less frequent cleaning, reduced labor costs, surface protection, and a healthier microclimate.
 
All Biomatra products can be supplied in different package sizes according to hotel requirements.
 
Biomatra for total comfort.
