Bathroom Accessories: How to Keep Hotel Bathrooms Clean

For many in the hospitality industry, the most prominent word may simply be “clean.” A fresh and clean room makes the best first impression on any guest. The bathroom is one of those areas that guests especially want to be clean and sanitary. Housekeeping staff regularly clean toilets, sinks, showers, bathtubs, etc. However, many other bathroom accessories may not be as high a priority, but they are still essential to keep clean. This blog explains how properties can clean certain bathroom accessories.

Soap and Lotion Dispensers

Soap and lotion dispensers are bathroom accessories that often get less attention than others. Clean both the inside and outside of the dispensers. If you don’t clean the inside, soap or lotion may dry and build up, causing a massive buildup. This buildup reduces available space, and the substance will need to be replaced more often, costing you time and money. If the pump begins to clog, run a warm water and vinegar mixture through it. If it still doesn’t unclog, try using more vinegar or poking at it with a small object like a toothpick. Then make sure the pump has dried out before refilling it with soap or lotion. It’s also essential to keep the outside of the dispenser clean to keep it looking nice and presentable and improve the overall quality of the bathroom. A great soap dish and bathroom accessories collection offered at InnStyle is the Regency Bath Accessories.

Toothbrush Holders

Toothbrush holders are one of the bathroom accessories that transmit the most germs in a property. According to industry experts, two other areas with similar levels are the kitchen sink and dish sponges. It’s a neglected bathroom accessory, but it is important to clean it regularly, as fluids like leftover toothpaste and saliva can make their way into the holder. Here are steps to clean toothbrush holders.

1. Soak the toothbrush holder in hot, soapy water to loosen any gunk stuck inside.
2. Use a small brush with soap to remove substances stuck to the holder.
3. Once the residue is removed, run the holder through the dishwasher or soak it in vinegar for at least 30 minutes.
4. Regular cleaning helps prevent buildup and clogging, reducing this problem in the future.

Towel Racks and Toilet Paper Holders

Towel racks and toilet paper holders are common bathroom items. Use a general cleaning solution to disinfect the rack and holder between each guest stay. Some properties may also have towel warmers in their bathrooms that should be cleaned as well. They help dry towels faster and prevent mold growth. They may be a good option if you’re looking to cut back on laundry loads and water usage to save money. InnStyle recommends the Hyde Park Free Standing Towel Warmer.

Other Bathroom Accessories

Other common bathroom accessories include trash cans, tissue box covers, and shower dispensers. These accessories will need to be wiped down periodically. Trash cans can get dirty and promote bacteria growth and bad smells, so it may be wise to add an easily replaceable liner to help prevent items and liquids from sticking to the bottom and sides of the can. Tissue box covers can collect dust and germs, so they should be dusted and cleaned periodically. Shower dispensers can develop mold if not properly cleaned, which can add expenses to the budget from constant replacement.
