Professional quality and consistency with industry-wide short-term rental and hotel cleaning standards.
At Parrish Kauai, we have always had the highest standards of care for our properties. Guided by the experts, we are now implementing enhanced measures to ensure the health and safety of our guests, owners, vendors and employees as we respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and look ahead to the future.
“In this new environment, our singular goal is to instill confidence and assurance that health and safety is a top priority,” says JP Parrish, owner of The Parrish Collection Kauai. “As a member of VRMA and a frequent traveler at hotels myself, I am proud to align with the renowned experts at VRHP and AHLA, leveraging their global expertise to strengthen our already rigorous health and safety measures through our new Parrish Pro Clean program.”
The Vacation Rental Housekeeping Professionals (VRHP), a subsidiary of the Vacation Rental Management Association (VRMA), has developed the “Safe Home” program with expanded recommendations for cleaning vacation rental properties in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) unveiled its “Safe Stay” guidelines in conjunction with major hotel brands like Hilton, Marriott and Wyndham to standardize cleanliness. Their report outlines baseline practices and procedures meant to protect employees and guests alike.
“Parrish Pro Clean” is built upon an already high standard of housekeeping at our properties, where hospital-grade cleaning products and protocols were already in use. Our goal by layering on the new steps outlined in these two programs is to provide our guests assurance and peace of mind that when they stay at any Parrish Kauai property that every effort was made to ensure a high level of cleanliness, sanitation and disinfection.
