Cleanliness and hygiene are critical to building all-important customer satisfaction and loyalty in the hospitality and lodging business.

SMA distributors understand that whether travelling for business or leisure, frequent guests seek consistency in facility hygiene at every location across their preferred hotel brand. With an eye on customer retention, we are keenly aware that one bad stay can mean the loss of a loyalty customer’s valuable repeat business.

SMA stays current on topics and trends in the hospitality industry through membership in the International Executive Housekeepers Association, and our representatives receive on-going training from manufacturers on the latest product solutions designed for the lodging industry.
