Our enhanced cleaning routine

Switchback Stays • April 9, 2020

Protecting our guests and our staff

Switchback Stays serviced apartments are always thoroughly cleaned to the highest possible standards. Our cleaning teams pride themselves on hearing guest reviews that mention ‘sparkling’ or ‘spotless’! 

During the corona virus pandemic we've been taking advice from platforms we trust on the topic of keeping our places to stay safe for our guests and staff.

The long list of tasks our cleaning teams tick-off to make sure each property is ready for a new guest is already very thorough. It’s been reassuring to hear that lots of what we already do is good practice, even in these challenging times. Such as - 

- having our linen professionally cleaned at the highest heat settings recommended by the manufacturer

- our expert cleaning teams always wearing disposable gloves and using disposable cleaning cloths.

- providing anti-bacterial handwash in all our dispensers  

We’ve decided to add-in some additional steps, to provide a safe environment as possible - 

- After thorough cleaning to disinfect all surfaces including door handles, light switches and soft furnishing.

- Extend the time between guests and ventilate rooms

- Provide extra towels and hand towels for each guest

We’re always keen to review and adjust the systems and processes we use during the day-to-day running of Switchback Stays. Looking closely at how we prepare our apartments between guests has been a useful exercise and we’ll be continuing some of these enhanced cleaning practices in the future. 

Stay safe - Switchback Stays
