Earlier this week, Hilton announced that it has struck partnerships with RB, the maker of Lysol and Dettol, along with the Mayo Clinic to develop a new cleaning procedure that includes the disinfection of high-touch areas like light switches, door handles, TV remote controls and thermostats.
Amenities like pens, paper and guest directories will also be removed as a decluttering measure, and the frequency of cleaning will increase for public areas and fitness centres.
