Our commitment to health, safety and security

We are continuously monitoring and following the changes in recommendations and guidelines of the local governments and the local health authorities in the countries we operate in, to continue working towards providing the best service possible while safeguarding the safety of our guests and associates, within the requirements issued by such local authorities.

Our Commitment to Cleanliness:

We take standards for hygiene and cleanliness very seriously and are taking additional steps to ensure the safety of our guests. On a daily basis, we ensure that they meet the latest guidance on hygiene and cleaning. Our health and safety measures are designed to address a broad spectrum of viruses, including COVID-19, and include everything from handwashing hygiene and cleaning product specifications to guest room and common area cleaning procedures. Specific steps the Capitol Hill Mansion Bed and Breakfast Inn is taking include:

Associate Health, Safety and Knowledge: CHM employees – and their own health, safety and knowledge – are essential to an effective cleaning program. Here are some ways we are supporting them:

• Hand Hygiene: Proper and frequent handwashing is vital to help combat the spread of viruses. In our daily operations, we are reminded that cleanliness starts with this simple act. It’s important for their health and that of our guests.
• Ongoing Training: In addition to training on housekeeping and hygiene protocols, housekeeping is also completing enhanced COVID-19 awareness training.

Cleaning Products and Protocols: Our housekeepers use cleaning products and protocols which are effective against viruses, including:

• Guest Rooms: CHM uses cleaning and disinfecting protocols to clean rooms after guests depart and before the next guest arrives, with particular attention paid to high-touch items.
• Public Spaces: CHM has increased the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting in public spaces, with a focus on the counter at the front desk, door handles, public bathrooms and even room keys.
• Back of House: In the spaces where employees work “behind the scenes,” the CHM is increasing the frequency of cleaning and focusing on high-touch areas like employee entrances, laundry room and staff offices.

Radiator Steam Heat:

As ventilation is being promoted as a key strategy to cut infection, you can open your windows at the Capitol Hill Mansion Bed and Breakfast Inn. As Fall and Winter arrive, the Inn is heated with Radiant (Radiator Steam Heat) that helps fight Pandemic. However, by itself, increasing ventilation is not enough to protect people from exposure to the virus that causes COVID-19. When used along with other best practices (such as social distancing, frequent hand washing, and surface disinfection) recommended by the CDC, increasing ventilation can be part of a plan to protect yourself and your family.
