It is of the utmost importance that your accommodation makes maintenance easier and is adapted to particular needs and behaviour of your clients.
The design of the room should allow for easy and thorough cleaning. So, for instance, when furnishing the room, you should make sure that cupboards or wardrobes are up to the very ceiling and do not leave spaces inaccessible for cleaning. No elaborate mouldings and addings that have an outstanding ability to collect dust shall be present.
Carpets may provide a very cosy atmosphere, warmth and sound reduction, but they are difficult to clean. That is why it is recommended to avoid thick carpets, as they host dust mites, a strong allergen for a number of people. The wooden floor with a frequently cleaned floor covering is a good alternative. If you facility has special rooms designated for allergy-proneclients, make sure to avoid great quantities of soft furniture, fabric or books within theserooms. Besides, it can make sense to give such rooms a regular special treatment (e.g., with AcarDust aerosol every three months).
The quality of the materials used should ensure resistance and a long lifetime-this will reduce significantly the costs of maintenance. So, for instance, furniture pieces in rooms for families with children should be washable; no soft wood that is easy to damage shall be used for the floor and no doors with fragile glass should be installed in the sections where tourists might carry their sports equipment, etc.
