No points taken for following: (8) Chlorine sanitizer in spray bottles used for spraying down guestroom vanities and lavatories was too strong--bleached out the test strip.

Instruct housekeepers on how to properly use this sanitizer (after cleaning faucets and vanities, spray on sanitizer and allow to air dry--this must be done daily if room is occupied).......NOTE: Much improvement has been made since last inspection in May 2008.
