Why You Should Take This Training

Two new surveys by P&G Professional, the away-from-home division of P&G, reveal that cleaning and disinfection are at the top of the list of importance to travelers and diners as businesses continue reopening in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

The surveys revealed:

  • 57% of guests expect more transparency around what hotels are doing to keep guests safe and rooms clean, both in person and on the company website
  • 67% of guests expect to see more thorough and frequent cleaning and 61% expect to see more visible methods of cleaning, like pamphlets and signage.
  • Cleanliness and housekeeping procedures were ranked as the most important attributes for hotel guests, surpassing both the price of the room and location of the hotel.
  • 70% of travelers say they would be more likely to pick a hotel room if they knew the business was using a personally recognizable and trusted brand of cleaning products.
