The businesses will be required to adapt to the purple note standard.”

Before

We dedicated 3-4 hours to cleaning the unit between the guests, which included lifting furniture, taking out linens, towels for washing, vacuuming, washing, cleaning with materials suitable for the floor, for washing, for the shower, for the toilet, for the kitchen and its accessories. In addition, we made sure to ventilate the unit and removed the blankets and pillows for ventilation and a “sunbath” in the garden.

Currently

We devote about 4-6 hours to cleaning a unit with extra strictness to the existing procedure and in addition at the end of the cleaning we carry out a disinfection process with bleach spray in the shower, toilets and kitchen, and disinfection with alcohol spray in the residences and living room, in addition we increased the ventilation time and the interval between the entry of new tenants to over 12 hours . Also make sure to disinfect door handles, cabinets and faucets, remotes and switches.
