Zzzing offers peace of mind and an unmatched customer experience for travelers with a contactless digital key room entry on the majority of their properties. This measure has been introduced as part of Zzzing’s environmentally friendly drive to reduce the use of plastic cards.
The ‘First disinfect, then clean’ recommended method is implemented throughout all cleaning regiments. Doing both is the best way to reduce the spread of infection.
Zzzing’s cleaning partners are committed to deliver regular staff training on on properly using cleaning, disinfecting, and chemical products (e.g. germicides) and on safe waste disposal.
Every property is different and we understand that some have unique features that may require specialised cleaning or sanitising. If a property owner has a space that is not covered by this handbook, the same cleaning and sanitising principles outlined in this handbook will be applied.
