traditionally pressing issues during this year's summer travel season - hair
and odor.

With many American families still planning a summer vacation despite
economic concerns, many hotel owners are turning to Febreze(R) and Swiffer(R),
from P&G Professional, to provide the cleanliness that travelers are used to
in their own homes.
The first things I notice about a room are the size, the level of
cleanliness, and the smell, said Kelby Carr, a feature travel writer and
blogger. Even if a hotel sends someone to clean up a problem area in my room,
that first impression stays with me and I will continue to think about it.
Paul Dougherty, director of operations at the Westin(R) Hilton Head Resort
and Spa, is familiar with the hair and odor challenges associated with summer
break travel. His resort prides itself on being a family friendly destination
and welcomes advances in hair and odor removal.
Hair is pretty much the biggest issue in any hotel, especially bathroom
hair and bed hair, Dougherty said.
To meet these and other dusting needs, P&G Professional offers the Swiffer
Dust Removal Line(TM), which includes a variety of products for all sorts of
dusting tasks allowing housekeepers to not just move dust, but eliminate it
with fibers that grab dust and lock it away.
Dougherty said the hotel's proximity to the beach and entire families
staying in a single room make odor a challenge as well. Just having a lot of
people in a room over a certain number of days creates malodors, he said.
For us, it's a combination of hot, moist air and vacationers belongings like
wet towels and bathing suits. It's that musty, wet smell we fight more than
anything else.
To solve odor problems that may arise, many summer destination hotels turn
to Febreze. Febreze helps remove odors and staleness through a technology that
eliminates odor molecules to leave rooms smelling fresh instead of just
masking odor.
Innovative products like Febreze and Swiffer tackle two of the lodging
industry's common challenges by effectively eliminating hair and odor. For
hotels interested in attracting families to their facility and avoiding
negative comments about the cleanliness of their rooms, Febreze and Swiffer
can help.

and hair-free environment for guests, visit www.pgpro.com or call
