 Water Saving

By implementing the Healthy Hotels Sanitising Program across even one large group, up to half a billion litres of water are saved every year in comparison to using conventional methods of mattress and carpet cleaning.

This equates to 171,600 litres in one medium/large property every year, not to mention a hefty expense.

 Air Quality

Many accommodation providers aren't aware that sanitising the carpet in each room regularly has more direct impact on air quality than any other single measure. As verified by numerous carpet institutes and scientific bodies, because air flows in a circular direction in a room, the carpet acts as the most potent air contaminator or filter, depending on the level of carpet maintenance achieved. As such, the allergy friendly choice in the home and the hotel room is to have more carpet, provided it is maintained to sanitised standards.

 What Is The Healthy Hotels Guide

The Healthy Hotels Guide^TM acts as a powerful, low cost marketing tool for hotels and accommodation providers, whilst educating the worlds travellers of the health concerns to be mindful of and their safer alternatives.

 About Certification And The Value Delivered

 Practical Maintenance Benefits

• Maintenance costs reduced
  
  The cost of conventional maintenance such as steam cleaning whilst being inferior in outcome to the HPI process can be quite expensive. Not to mention the downtime of having mattresses and carpets wet and offline. This is not an issue with the HPI process.
   

• Occupational Health and Safety standards brought up to date
  
  Whilst the rules for hygiene and cleanliness are different in every state when it comes to the hotel industry, there is no question as to the magnifying glass now being held over the area of bedding and the tighter requirements of maintenance which follow. Many government clients such as schools, hospitals and accommodation facilities have now initiated the HPI service for this very reason.
   

• Extended mattress and carpet life
  
  Replacing mattresses and carpets every 3-7 years as many commercial properties do can be a very expensive task. Mattress and carpet manufacturers both agree that you can extend the life of the item by up to double with the correct maintenance, subject of course to usage.
   

• Elimination of costly stain and odour problems of all kinds
  
  There is nothing worse than having a room offline because the last tenants either contaminated the room with cooking or smoking odour or stained the mattress or carpet in some way. The HPI odour removal process can be used to turn a room from smoking (just one example) to non-smoking in 15 minutes and is 100% guaranteed. The HPI stain removal process is also capable of removing almost any difficult stain. The Safety First Solution product range is so effective, it's even used in the US by the forensic departments to treat crime scenes and house fire cases. The SF-6 Odour Neutraliser is so powerful it is completely odourless as well as being 100% guaranteed to work.

 Unparalleled Branding Solution Benefits

  The results of a recent consumer survey conducted by Colmar Brunton revealed bedroom cleanliness to be travel consumers' number one priority. By being able to present an answer to the principal question in today's consumers' minds, you can leverage your marketing like never before possible . (should we cite any other articles which confirm the consumer interest in cleanliness? There are lots )

  Based on the feedback from participating properties across the Asia Pacific since inception, there are additional bookings to be captured from the same market, if this point of difference is presented. This provides a potential offset to quiet seasons or general booking slumps.
   

• Capitalisation on the group structure of the properties involved to present a market wide cleanliness based point of difference.
