“Disinfection using UV-C rays is completely chemical-free and totally harmless to health and the environment, and independent laboratories in France have confirmed that it is efficient,” explained Patrick Lurat, Sales Director of Surface Treatment at the BIO-UV Group. “This process is even used in hospitals.” Areas where the short-wave light cannot easily reach due to unfavourable radiation angles are also treated using a BIO Scan Mobile Unit. The handheld device is suitable for small areas and objects, such as the TV remote control, the telephone, the minibar and the safe. Complete disinfection of a standard guestroom sized 35 sq m takes around 15 minutes; 136 of the 225 guestrooms and suites have already been disinfected.
