Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates relies on Taski Sani Mould Out
 

Handling housekeeping responsibility at a leading hotel attached to a prestigious mall like Mall of Emirates is not a cake walk for Pamini Hemaprabha, Executive Housekeeper, Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates. She believes in proper training for cleaning staff on how to use hygiene and janitorial products. For Pamini, the challenging task is outdoor cleaning during high winds or rainy season.

Which hygiene/ cleaning product or equipment do you find most useful in your hotel?

At Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates, we use the best cleaning products available in the market and they are all very useful in their own way. One of the products I personally find very effective and like to work with is Taski Sani Mould Out from Diversey. This product is being used to remove mould and mildew from grouting. It is extremely useful and highly effective for the removal of fungus, bacteria, soap residues, body fat and other malodorous creating sources. The product is eco- friendly and comes in recycled containers which are great.

Based on your experience with the product, why would you recommend it?

In addition to the advantages mentioned in the previous question, I would highly recommend this product as it extremely user-friendly and removes the mould in less than 10 minutes. It is also very safe to use and has no strong odour unlike many other chemicals. This product ensures speedy results too.

What’s the USP or special feature of this particular product? How does it help in maintaining cleanliness at your hotel?

Bathrooms and any other wet areas in the hotel can easily be affected by mould and bacterial fungus. If these are not attended to immediately it can cause health threats. At Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates, we ensure 100 per cent safety and hygienic practices and this product helps to maintain the cleanliness at par. Despite being so effective on mould, the chemical doesn’t cause any reactions if used properly. Staff do not find in challenging to use due to its user-friendliness.

As a house-keeping manager, what challenges do you face regarding the maintenance of cleanliness in a hotel?

As an executive housekeeper it is imperative to ensure that my hotel is kept clean and hygienic at all times. Like any other hotel, some of our challenges are related to the weather like outdoor cleaning during high winds or in the rainy season, however with proper equipment and planning this is easily overcome. Since we are attached to one of the best malls in the city – Mall of the Emirates – we definitely experience high traffic to the hotel so when it comes to our floors, we always make sure that we pay extra attention to our marble ensuring proper gloss levels at all times. Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates enjoys high occupancy throughout the year and we make sure that we stick to our strict preventive maintenance and cleaning projects schedule, making sure our guests’ stay have a wonderful experience.

Which is the toughest cleaning task to execute?

Building glass cleaning is one of the most sensitive and detailed tasks to execute, especially under the climatic conditions of this region. We are lucky to partner with one of the best suppliers who assist us with this and who ensure that our building and window cleanliness is always kept in tip top shape. We all know that sand storms and rain contribute to the workload when it comes to glass and building cleaning and it is impossible to clean the whole building glass at once. Hence, we ensure a very strict schedule of cleaning the glasses from all corners so that they look best at any given point in time and in any climatic conditions.

Any flip side of using this product?

As with any cleaning materials, it is imperative that staff is trained properly on the safe use of the products. Poor training can lead to health and safety issues. We ensure employees are well trained on cleaning product usage and we use a Material Safety data sheet.

How would you rate it on a scale of 1 to 10?

I am very happy with the product and it is definitely 10 out of 10.
