Hilton is Partnering with Lysol to Clean its Hotels

Estimated read time 3 min read

Hilton, which includes its namesake brand along with Waldorf-Astoria, Hampton Inn, Curio Collection and many more, have struck up a partnership with RB, the maker of Lysol in the U.S. and Dettol in Europe, to put in new cleaning standards for their hotels. 

Hilton CleanStay with Lysol Protection, as the program is being called here, will launch on June 1, incorporating RB's scientific approach to cleaning practices and products. Hilton have also tapped experts from the Mayo Clinic’s Infection Prevention and Control team to further up their cleaning standards and employee practices. Already, Hilton has developed a 10 areas of a hotel room that are “high-touch”, meaning they get touched a lot by guests and thus need to undergo deep-cleaning. 

Here's what else Hilton is planning to implement at its hotels: 

  • Hilton CleanStay Room Seal: Add an extra measure of assurance by placing a room seal on doors to indicate to guests that their room has not been accessed since being thoroughly cleaned. 
  • 10 High-Touch, Deep Clean Areas: Extra disinfection of the most frequently touched guests room areas – light switches, door handles, TV remotes, thermostats and more. 
  • De-clutter Paper Amenities: Remove pen, paper and guest directory; supplement with digital or available upon request. 
  • Focus on Fitness Centers: Improved guidelines for disinfecting the hotel Fitness Center, possibly closing for cleaning multiple times daily and limiting the number of guests allowed in at one time. 
  • Clean and Clean Again: Increase the frequency of cleaning public areas. 
  • Guest-Accessible Disinfecting Wipes: Provide stations at primary entrances and key high traffic areas, for instance, a station to allow guests to wipe the elevator button before pressing. 
  • Contactless Check-In: Hilton will double-down on its award-winning Digital Key technology for guests who desire to have a contactless arrival experience. Guests can check-in, choose their room, access their room with a digital room key and check-out using their mobile devices through the Hilton Honors mobile app at participating hotels. Hilton will continue to expand its Digital Key capabilities to common doors and access points throughout the hotels. 
  • Innovative Disinfection Technologies: Hilton is exploring the addition of new technologies, like electrostatic sprayers – which use an electrostatically charged disinfecting mist – and ultraviolet light to sanitize surfaces and objects.
  • Team Member Care: Throughout the new cleaning process, hotel Team Members will be provided with personal protective equipment and enhanced training designed to protect their well-being while continuing to deliver unmatched Hilton hospitality.
