HOUSE CLEANING AND WHAT WE ARE DOING TO KEEP YOU SAFE
Our Housekeeping Team members clean and sanitize all hard surfaces of our vacation homes, including but not limited to floors, countertops, railings, sink faucets, appliances, doorknobs, and light switches. The quality of disinfectants we use should remove 100 percent of the microscopic organisms on surfaces, and effectively stop the spread of disease and viruses. Linens and towels are laundered offsite at our linen facility. There is no evidence to suggest that this particular coronavirus will survive the wash chemistry and temperatures in the wash and dry process. All soiled linens are treated as if they are contaminated.
Our housekeeping staff is trained to use the best hygiene practices at all times. With the combination of these best practices, our employees, clients, and guests should be safe from the spread of coronavirus.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO STAY HEALTHY DURING YOUR VISIT
While ResorticaHawaii.com has high standards of cleaning, some guests as an extra precaution may want to perform additional cleaning upon arrival. The CDC recommends all households consider cleaning and disinfecting "high-touch" surfaces daily in shared household areas (e.g., tables, hard-backed chairs, doorknobs, light switches, remotes, handles, desks, toilets, sinks).
As has been recommended by many authorities, wash your hands often, avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
