Count on Us to Come Back Stronger

Aligning with the Count on Us Initiative, the Sourcing team at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, together with some of the hospitality industry’s leading manufacturers and distributors, is dedicated to helping provide you with the critical products you need to help create healthy and safe hotel experiences. As the new Sept. 1, 2020, Brand Standards compliance deadlines quickly approach, read on to find the resources you need.

WHAT'S NEW THIS WEEK 

SHIPPING TO YOUR HOTEL SOON: NEW SANITIZING WIPES (U.S. hotels only) 

Sanitizing wipes containing 70% or greater alcohol content can now be selected as an alternative to an EPA-registered disinfectant wipe. We are working with our WH&R approved suppliers to provide each hotel in the U.S. an additional supply of sanitizing wipes that fit this expanded criteria at no cost to you. All applicable hotels will receive by Oct. 15. To purchase additional individually packaged EPA-registered disinfecting / 70% alcohol sanitizing wipes click here.
