What Are The Main Issues You Face?

Static electricity is the primary factor in the creation of dust. This, combined with dead skin, pollen, mould, fungi or insect parts among other things, means there is a constant micro-collection of dust occurring all the time.

The underside of beds is notorious for the collection of dust and this poses a health risk to your guests.

Conventional vacuum cleaners cannot access underneath some hotel beds. This often requires staff to lift or deconstruct beds, sometimes in pairs resulting in less productivity in other areas of the hotel. Single person lifting can also cause serious injury to staff and the majority of hotels have very limited access around beds to work with.

Eziflate ensures that ‘easy access is on the up’.

Staff Lifting Injuries

The Hidden Cost of Luxury Beds (UK Focus)
Housekeeping involves intense, repetitive lifting, a major contributor
to Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). The impact in the UK is
significant:

  • 7.8 million working days lost to work-related MSDs in 2023/24 (HSE).
  • Housekeeping roles rank among the highest sickness absence rates
    (ONS).
  • Each affected employee averages 14.3 days off work, reducing
    efficiency and increasing costs.

 

No one should risk their health to do their job.

Dust

Areas is essential to maintain cleanliness, safety, and overall wellbeing.

Dust and debris that remain uncleaned under beds and furniture can build up over time and negatively affect both hygiene and health. This accumulation can trigger allergies, asthma, and respiratory issues, particularly in children and vulnerable individuals. In addition, hidden dust can attract pests and contribute to unpleasant odours, creating an unhealthy living environment. Regular and thorough cleaning of these.

Frustrated Staff

Frustrated housekeepers often struggle to complete their tasks efficiently when they do not have the right tools or equipment. Without proper supplies, even simple duties take longer, leading to stress, reduced productivity, and lower job satisfaction. Having the correct tools is essential for housekeepers to perform their roles effectively and maintain high standards of cleanliness and
care.

Unwanted Breeding Grounds

Areas under beds and furniture that are not regularly cleaned can become breeding grounds for pests such as bed bugs, mites, and other insects. Dust, warmth, and undisturbed spaces provide ideal conditions for these pests to hide and multiply. Once established, infestations can spread quickly, causing discomfort, skin irritation, and significant disruption to the household. Regular cleaning and inspection of these hidden areas are essential to prevent pest infestations and maintain a safe, hygienic environment.

Limited Access

Staff may struggle to complete cleaning duties effectively due to limited space, particularly under beds and furniture.

Restricted access can result in items such as medication being accidentally dropped and left unnoticed. This poses a serious risk, as small children may pick up the medication, potentially leading to harm. Ensuring adequate space for cleaning helps maintain safety as well as hygiene standards.

Additional Staff Required

The need for additional staff to assist with lifting beds and furniture can result in extra costs for the company. Increased staffing requirements lead to higher labour expenses and may also affect scheduling and productivity. Providing appropriate equipment or ensuring furniture is designed for easier movement can help reduce the need for extra staff and minimise these additional costs.
