From hotel rooms to glamping tents

Cleaning without chemicals

'Small in size, big in service' - with these words, the hotel Pluimpapaver typifies itself. This small-scale hotel in green Aarschot, Belgium, winner of Tourism Enterprise of Flemish Brabant 2023, stands out not only with its rich breakfasts and impeccable rooms and glamping tents, but also with its commitment to sustainable and allergen-free cleaning. Pluimpapaver has chosen Hyla's innovative cleaning technology to keep both rooms and glamping tents clean without harmful chemicals. For operators Jasmina Loots and Hans Vandenbroeck, this offers a solution that fits perfectly with their vision of sustainable hospitality.

When Loots and Vandenbroeck of Pluimpapaver Hotel & Glamping were introduced to Hyla during the Horeca Expo in 2023, they were immediately impressed. "We were looking for a sustainable way to clean our hotel & glamping without using harsh chemicals, and Hyla offered a product that made exactly that possible," Loots says. For hotel guests, many of whom are sensitive to allergens, this approach means added reassurance. Hyla's devices deeply remove dust, pollen and other allergens, which is especially valuable for guests with respiratory sensitivities. Moreover, working with a chemical-free system also has benefits for the cleaning team, who are thus less exposed to harmful substances.

Hyla EST and steam cleaner: innovation that works

Plume Poppy invested in the Hyla EST cleaning system and steam cleaner, both of which are an important addition to standard cleaning products due to their versatility and power. The Hyla EST has several attachments, including Ventus, specifically for cleaning rough surfaces such as coir mats in glamping tents. "This attachment makes it easy to thoroughly clean the mats that collect a lot of dirt in the orchard," says Loots. The steam cleaner, without the need for chemicals, gives floors and other surfaces a deep, streak-free clean, resulting in a tidy, fresh look to the rooms.

An investment in quality and long-term relationships

Hyla convinced Loots and Vandenbroeck not only because of the quality of its products, but also because of its personal approach. A visit by a Hyla representative gave them the chance to try out every aspect of the appliances and ask questions. "It was an investment for a small-scale accommodation like ours, but the thorough explanation and confidence we received during the demonstration confirmed that Hyla was the right choice for us," Loots explains. For Pluimpapaver, this investment proved to be a sustainable decision that not only improved the cleaning process, but also increased the health and comfort of their guests.

Hyla's added value for guest experience

Thanks to Hyla, Loots and Vandenbroeck can now clean their rooms much more frequently without the use of chemicals. What was once an annual cleaning with a rented steam cleaner has now become a quarterly routine with their own equipment. The ability to offer allergen-free rooms gives their hotel a distinctive added value in the market, especially as more and more guests are specifically requesting allergen-free stays. The choice of Hyla therefore fits perfectly with their business philosophy, which aims at a healthier and more sustainable stay for everyone.

A unique, personal experience

"Hyla's personal approach is truly exceptional," Loots enthuses. "The Hyla representative's visit to our business was more than a demonstration; it gave us the chance to see the power of Hyla for ourselves in our own environment. He took the time to answer every question and showed us how exactly the Hyla devices fit our specific needs. This personal guidance not only gave us insight into the versatility and quality of the products, but also confidence in our investment. Thanks to this experience, we know that Hyla is the perfect choice for Pluimpapaver Hotel & Glamping."
