Responsible cleaning 

Hotel room cleanings have a significant environmental impact due to the high consumption of water and energy required for washing linens, towels, and cleaning surfaces. The use of chemical-based cleaning products can pollute water sources, while frequent laundering and disposable supplies contribute to waste and resource depletion. With the constant turnover of guests, these factors collectively create a substantial ecological footprint.

For these reasons, at ID Aparthotel we adjusted our cleaning system. Where many hotels provide daily cleanings for all occupied hotel rooms, we have a different cleaning system with a reduced impact on the environment. We distinguish smaller cleanings and bigger cleanings, so we don’t have to provide a big cleaning (with a high environmental impact) every day. Guests staying less than 5 nights are always welcome to request additional towels or linens as needed.

In addition to this, we only use eco-certified cleaning products in all our cleanings. 

Besides the cleaning itself, linen production and washing uses many chemicals and water as well. Therefore we work together with Blycolin: our linen supplier that guarantees a low environmental impact. No harmful substances are used in the production of the linen, and the washing processes ensure low water consumption and less CO2 emissions. In addition to this, at ID Aparthotel we only use eco-certified products for cleanings, to avoid using chemicals. In our sustainable purchase plan, all employees are asked to always prefer eco-certified products above normal cleaning products. In this way, all purchasers only buy non-chemical cleaning products. 

Waste management

At ID Aparthotel we are taking various initiatives to reduce our waste as much as possible. 

To begin with, we are separating our waste over the whole hotel; not only in the F&B outlet, also in our garbage rooms meant for you ; multiple garbage bins can be found here. 

In addition to waste separation, our F&B outlet has a zero waste policy. Meaning we are cooking according to the zero waste principle: this includes cooking with the same ingredients in different dishes to reduce waste as much as possible.
