Over recent years, we have noticed a significant increase in bookings potential for holiday homeowners and businesses that have pet friendly accommodation.
Many people consider their trusted companion a member of the family, and with increased costs associated with leaving your four-legged friend behind when you go on holiday, many guests are searching for pet-friendly accommodation and are not willing to sacrifice their overall holiday experience as a result.
The greatest stumbling block is ensuring the accommodation and that your bed linen remains your usual high standard. Pets can shed fur and leave the occasional
stain, as well as the increased risk of exposing guests to allergens and odours, which can impact their guest experience.
At NetLet Laundry, we invest in and provide all clients with high-quality linen that is easy to clean and maintain, which can significantly reduce the impact of pet-related messes.
The exquisite Cairo Comfort Range from Mitre Linen, renowned for its luxurious quality meets the highest standards of durability but also undergoes thorough cleaning to maintain cleanliness throughout its lifetime.
With HACCP certified laundry machines and our own ‘kill and cure’ process, we always offer these high-quality linens, ensuring that each laundry item undergoes a rigorous cleaning. Perfect for pet-friendly accommodation.
By working with us, our clients can ensure their linen is 5 star every time.
By supplying protective covers, such as blankets, a barrier is created between pets and bed linen and furniture, preventing stains and minimising the accumulation of pet hair where possible.
Purchasing pillow and mattress protectors is another way for the Host to provide an an extra layer of protection, reducing the likelihood of soiling or damage to your bed linen.
Bed linen is quite an expensive outlay for any Host, which is why a commercial setup such as NetLet Laundry, will always take this into account within their service and cleaning processes.
These simple steps can help to prolong the lifespan of your linen while ensuring a comfortable and hygienic experience for all guests.
Strict cleaning processes are crucial within all pet friendly accommodations, with a significant level of importance placed on maintaining cleanliness and hygiene standards.
Housekeeping staff should be fully trained and follow comprehensive procedures within all accommodation changeovers, especially pet-friendly ones. A company such as NetLet Housekeeping will use specialised cleaning products to neutralise odours and remove stains within any accommodation they are servicing.
Maintaining thorough vacuuming of accommodations and complete surface sanitisation is essential, focusing on areas frequented by pets.
A deep-clean is advised periodically, such as steam cleaning, to tackle any lingering odours and stains. Ideally, this should be scheduled for low season months, where a break between bookings will not impact your income forecast.
Linens should always be laundered at high temperatures to ensure optimal cleanliness, with regular linen inspections and removal of damaged linens from your stockpile is essential and a must for maintaining high linen standards.
By following these steps, you will streamline your operations, lessen the burden on the housekeeping team, and guarantee consistent cleanliness throughout the establishment.
Clear communication is critical to managing guest expectations within pet-friendly accommodation. Always set ground rules that clearly outline your expectations as a Host, and the expectations of your guest.
A pet policy is an excellent way of implementing this, as this will include the home rules and any fees or restrictions at the time of booking and upon check-in. By setting clear expectations from the outset, you can foster a positive experience for both pet- owning guests and yourself as the Host.
Partnering with a professional laundry service provider such as NetLet Laundry will make running your pet-friendly accommodation so much easier.
