Unilever is providing hygiene kits for guests and hygiene education and products for hospitality workers at select OYO properties in India, as part of the homes and hotels company’s ‘Sanitised Stays’ initiative.

With rigorous cleaning standards, minimal-touch services and enhanced credibility topping the list of customer requirements in the hospitality industry during the Covid-19 pandemic, OYO and Unilever’s partnership will first roll out in India before extending to OYO’s properties in other countries across South East Asia, Europe, the US and South America.

Selected OYO properties will provide products from our Lifebuoy, Domex (Domestos), Sunlight and Cif brands to both staff and guests, which can create a cleaner and more hygienic experience from check-in to check-out.

OYO is creating new standards for cleaning with the help of our R&D team that will include the correct use of Unilever products. Among the protocols are deep-cleaning and disinfecting high-touch zones in rooms, such as door handles, phones, light switches and all hard surfaces. Common areas, including elevators, registration desks and dining rooms, will be cleaned at least four times a day.
