Hidden Green Benefits of Preventative

Hotels and resorts are a big operation to run. Not only do they require many dedicated teams including housekeeping, floor care, janitorial, and laundry, but they also require a maintenance staff. Whether it is a team that comes in annually to clean house, or a vendor performing regular maintenance, you need the help to keep your guests safe and your systems running sustainably.

There are many hidden benefits to performing regular maintenance on things like air conditioning systems, plumbing, electrical girds, and lighting maintenance. We don’t expect you to go hunting for these solutions, which is why MasterCorp, is going to tell you! With our team of engineering experts, there’s nothing we can’t handle.

1. Heating and Cooling Systems- It’s important to regularly clean the dust, dirt, and debris that’s collected in your air filters and conditioning systems.

When you partner with MasterCorp for your maintenance needs, you are partnering with a company that CARES about your guests and your business. We are trained in completely revamping your air filtration systems, so they run more efficiently and also cleaner!

Green Linens and Laundry

Laundry services are becoming more popular in hotels and resorts as more people get back to traveling for longer periods of time. However, most in house laundry operations can sometimes turn into money-pits for properties, if they don’t have the experience to operate them. Learn More About Our History

Industrial grade washers and dryers use up a lot of water and electricity, having a negative impact on environmental sustainability, and significantly boosting costs for property owners.

So, what’s the solution? Do you just forgo these services? No. These are crucial services for not only standard hotel operations, but also your long-term travelers, as well as for emergency operations. There were many people during Covid-19 who were quarantined to their hotel rooms and relied heavily on their laundry departments for clean clothes and linen.

Luckily, MasterCorp has easy, cost-effective tips and advice for all of your eco-friendly service needs!

• Water Saving Technology- Water recycling systems and high-capacity laundry machines not only optimize your laundry operations efficiency, but also maximizes your water savings!
• Energy Efficiency- Energy efficiency should be the main goal of a green laundry service. Even something as simple as lighting at the facility should be designed to maximize power savings.
• Eco-Friendly Cleaning Solutions- When choosing your cleaning materials, choose ones that are biodegradable and all natural. Not only are they better for the environment, but they are also better for people who might have skin sensitivities and allergies.
• Protective Practices- If using an outsourced cleaning company for your linens, find someone who is well-trained in providing high quality laundry services for hospitality settings.
• Convenient Facilities- When partnering with an outside vendor for your laundry and linen needs, find someone with locations nearby. This will minimize late times and delays with fresh laundry delivery.
