They feed on blood, causing itchy bites that will irritate your guests. They can also cause other public health issues, so it's very important to pay close attention to your rooms.

Here are some helpful tips on how to find, prevent and control bed bugs!

How to Prevent Bed Bugs

Prevention is key. Taking these steps will help prolong the life of your rooms and the satisfaction of your guests. 

  1. Consider scheduling regular bed bug inspections of all rooms and public areas by a pest management professional.
  2. Train front desk, maintenance and housekeeping on bedbugs
  3. Create a "Bed Bug Action Plan"
  4. Housekeeping staff should inspect for evidence of bed bugs during every room service and maintenance staff should remove and check behind headboards and under box springs periodically. 
  5. Consider enclosing mattresses and box springs with bed bug-proof encasements
  6. Follow proper laundry handling practices to reduce the risk of spreading bed bugs (i.e. keep clean and dirty laundry separate, keep carts in hallways)
  7. Eliminate bed bugs hiding places including peeling wallpaper and paint, cracks and holes, crevices around headboards and baseboards.
  8. Vacuum rooms thoroughly including drapes, back side of pictures, underside of furniture, all known hiding spots for bed bugs!

How to Identify if You Have Bed Bugs

A more accurate way to identify a possible infestation is to look for physical signs of bed bugs. When cleaning and/or changing the sheets in your rooms, have your employees check for:
  • Rusty or reddish stains on bed sheets or mattresses caused by bed bugs being crushed.
  • Dark spots (about this size: •), which are bed bug excrement and may bleed on the fabric like a marker would.
  • Eggs and eggshells, which are tiny (about 1mm) and pale yellow skins that nymphs shed as they grow larger.
  • Live bed bugs.

Bed bugs really love to hide:
  • In the seams of chairs and couches, between cushions, in the folds of curtains.
  • In drawer joints.
  • In electrical receptacles and appliances.
  • Under loose wallpaper and wall hangings. 
  • At the junction where the wall and the ceiling meet.
  • Even in the head of a screw.

If a crack will hold a credit card, it could hide a bed bug!

Spring has definitely Sprung! With the warm weather and gentle breeze, you'll want to get your spring cleaning done quickly and efficiently! Here are some helpful tips and items that you'll want to save time and money this season.

4 Tips on Long Lasting Spring Cleaning

Start with the right tools
For truly effective spring cleaning, replace worn, inefficient mops, brooms and cleaning cloths. Newer innovations like the Rubbermaid Maximizer mop and microfiber make cleaning faster, easier and more effective.

Elevate surface cleaning
Use a disinfectant or sanitizer on all hard surfaces to eliminate viruses, bacteria and pathogens that are lurking everywhere. Be sure to move items on work surfaces, including electronics which are notorious dust magnets, and clean underneath.

Improve indoor air quality
Deep clean carpets and entrance mats. A lot of dirt and chemicals are tracked in during the winter months as people walk through slush, ice melt and grit and then into the building. Replace filters in vacuums and HVAC systems for optimum efficiency. Also, track down any damp areas, resolve the source of the moisture and then use a cleaning product that addresses existing mold and mildew and prevents future growth.

Clean up your cleaning supplies
Don't forget to clean out the custodial closet. Older containers of chemical cleaners can start releasing fumes as they age. Consider environmentally responsible versions as replacements. Keep all of the cleaning supplies organized, easy to access and ready to roll in a mobile cart like the Rubbermaid Quick Cart to encourage frequent use.

From cleaning supplies to vacuum filters to carpet care solutions, Sunshine has everything your customers need to get a fresh and healthy start this spring.

The Maximizer!

Picture
  • 30% More Floor Coverage
  • 25% Less Weight
  • Maximizer Blend - Absorbs 3X as much cotton
  • Universal Headband - Works with industry standard mop handles
  • Product Identification - Enables easy re-purchasing

The Maximizer's unique design delivers the industry-leading mop spread to provide 30% more floor coverage than the standard wet mop. More coverage translates into less time spent mopping and more time for other tasks. And 25% less weight means less effort when mopping and lifting. When wrung out, the Maximizer mop weighs 25% less than the standard mop which helps to alleviate exertion due to mopping's repetitive and physical requirements.

This innovative mop is constructed with a special Maximizer Blend for maximum effectiveness. It has the highest absorbency ratio of any mop in its class — absorbing up to three times as much as cotton! And it delivers industry-leading durability, withstanding up to 50 commercial laundering cycles. The Maximizer Blend Mop is also available in a shrinkless, pre-laundered version. Both versions work with industry standard mop handles and are offered in a range of colors to facilitate color-coded cleaning programs.

Quick Cart - Discreet, Efficient Mobile Solution!

Lightweight and more compact than traditional carts for easier maneuverability in tight spaces, the Quick Cart is still built tough—it's the industry's most durable mobile cart solution. Features like the high-performance materials that provide strength and rigidity and the reinforced kick plate withstand rigorous daily use. The Teflon® fabric protector repels water, oil and stains to keep the Quick Cart looking its best. And the inner liner is removable for easy cleaning.
Picture
Designed for smart organization and easy access to a variety of supplies and tools, the Quick Cart has a removable carry caddy with dividers, a zip front pocket and a strap to secure larger tools such as a mop or long-reach duster. And it's customizable for a variety of roles including housekeeping, janitorial and maintenance. 

While the Quick Cart is a standout when it comes to performance, it's designed to blend into the environment. It conceals supplies for discreet transport and the robust ball–bearing wheels are engineered for reduced noise.
