Cleanliness is next to Godliness: 9 Tips for Beaming Bathrooms

Marketing doesn't always mean advertising or web-sites. You can successfully market a business with a good reputation. In the competitive bed and breakfast or guest accommodation market, a good reputation can mean the difference between your business thriving or dying.

A spotless bedroom and bathroom shows that you care about guest's experience and you will develop a reputation for being a bed and breakfast with attention to detail.



There are clean bathrooms and there are bathrooms that glimmer and shine. When cleaning a guest bathroom, you want the guest to feel like they are the first ever person to have used that bathroom.

Keeping bathrooms up-t0-date can be expensive, but a thorough cleaning routine can make established sinks, taps and bowls look like new.

Our top tips for an impressive bathroom:

1. Don't ignore the smallest detail. Shift those lime and grime stains.
2. Sit on the toilet and look up, down and around, as any guest would do when paying a visit.
3. Invest in an electric toothbrush for exclusive use on hard-to-reach spots like the edges of taps and dusty corners
4. Polish 'til it shines.
5. Don't stint on towels. Invest in quality fluffy towels and provide plenty of them.
6. Nail kits, skin lotions and conditioners are extras that make guests feel pampered
7. Test the shower for water-flow and temperature. A satisfying shower means a satisfied guest.
8. Bathroom carpets get mouldy (moldy) and stained. A floor with tiles or lino is easier to keep looking immaculate.
9. Improvement should always be the aim of a successful innkeeper, so ask guests for feedback. Everyone makes mistakes occasionally and and showing guests you care about their opinion allows them to point out room for improvement in a relaxed environment.
   

Even if a guest doesn't remember your B&B for a clean bathroom, you will surely be remembered if it's dirty.
