Introduction

Hotels provide comfortable, private accommodations and attract a wide array of travelers. The constant flux of guests, each with different hygiene habits, significantly heightens the risk of mattress contamination. Addressing mattress hygiene is critical for guest health, satisfaction, and operational success.

The Importance of Mattress Hygiene in Hotels

Mattress hygiene directly impacts guest health by preventing the spread of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, dust mites, and bed bugs. Poor mattress hygiene can also negatively affect a hotel's reputation, as guests frequently share their experiences online.

Hotels encounter several obstacles in keeping mattresses clean:

• Limited Time Between Guests: High turnover allows little time for thorough mattress cleaning.
• Cost Constraints: Budget limitations often prevent regular professional cleaning services.
• Varied Sleeping Arrangements: Diverse room types and occupancy rates complicate the standardization of cleaning protocols.
