Approved products — boutique pod interiors
| Product | Code | Use for |
|---|
|---|---|---|
| Antimicrobial spray | CLN-04 | All hard surfaces, fixtures, door handles |
|---|---|---|
| pH-neutral glass cleaner | CLN-07 | Mirrors, glass panels, screen surfaces |
| Upholstery spray | UPH-02 | Fabric headboards and soft furnishings |
| Floor sanitiser | CLN-12 | Sealed timber and tile floors |
Products NEVER to use in boutique pods
- Bleach-based cleaners — cause irreversible clouding and micro-cracks on acrylic pod panels
- Abrasive scrubs or steel wool — scratch mirror and glass surfaces
- Ammonia-based products — damage the anti-reflective coating on pod screens
- Undiluted disinfectants — can discolour soft furnishings if not diluted per instructions
Application guidelines
- Always spray onto the cloth — never directly onto surfaces
- Use separate cloths for bathroom fixtures and sleeping area surfaces
- Change cloths between boutiques to prevent cross-contamination
- Allow all surfaces to air dry before guest check-in
Product storage
All approved products are stored in Housekeeping Cart B (red label). Cart A (blue label) is for public areas only. Do not mix products between carts.
Reporting defects
If a boutique surface shows signs of damage (clouding, discolouration, cracks), report immediately via the maintenance ticket system and mark the boutique as unavailable until assessed.
