Our commitment to cleanliness
We have always strived to exceed impeccable standards of cleanliness. However, COVID 19 has significantly moved the ‘goal posts’. The Sidrena is taking every possible step to ensure your safety. We take great pride in our standards of hygiene, cleanliness & service and we have retained industry Health and Safety experts to guide us on the implementation of safety measures and to ensure we are taking every precaution based on the best research and using the latest technology.
On a daily basis, our management team are working to ensure that they meet the latest guidance from the WHO and the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) to make our cleaning and hygiene protocols even more rigorous. Our Aparthotels’ health and safety measures are designed to address a broad spectrum of viruses, including COVID-19, and include everything from hand-washing hygiene, enhanced cleaning procedures to guest rooms and public areas.
When guest’s check-in to our hotel, they will notice that our cleaning regime is designed to address Covid 19 implications of sanitisation as well as modifications to employee-guest protocols developed to be consistent with recommended social distancing guidelines.
Steps
Sidrena Apartments is embracing enhanced New Cleaning Technologies: We already use the highest classification of approved antiviral disinfectants provided by Diversy and recommended by the NCDC and Prevention and World Health Organization to sanitize and disinfect surfaces throughout the aparthotel.
To compliment this, we have now rolled out the use of enhanced technologies at our aparthotel including the use of electrostatic sprayers in public and private spaces. The magnetically charged droplets produced by the electrostatic sprayers seek out and coat hard to reach areas and surfaces typically missed in standard cleaning processes
