Because a clean space shouldn’t come at the cost of someone else’s wellbeing.

When people think about what makes a place “clean,” they often think of bleach.
Disinfectant sprays. Industrial air fresheners. Fast scrub-and-go teams rushing through the property in under an hour.

At Diverse Nation, we see things very differently.

For us, cleanliness isn’t just about appearances. It’s about health, dignity, and sustainability — for both our guests and the people who prepare the space.

That’s why we approach cleaning as an ethical practice, not just a hygiene checklist.

And yes — our guests can feel the difference.

What “clean” means to a neurodivergent guest

If you’re neurodivergent — autistic, ADHD, trauma-affected, or living with OCD — your idea of “clean” might be very different from a typical hotel standard.

You might be highly sensitive to:

🧪 Strong chemical smells
🧼 Sticky residues or over-scented surfaces
💦 Dampness left behind
🚿 Hair or dust in the corners
🧠 Unpredictable layouts that make it hard to find things
⚠️ Signs that something wasn’t genuinely cleaned — just covered up

So we go beyond basic hygiene.

We clean in a way that feels reassuring, calm, and emotionally safe — especially for those who’ve been overstimulated or made ill by past experiences.

How our ethical standards change the game

We believe that you can’t provide good cleaning without treating cleaners well.

So we ensure:

✅ All cleaners are paid fairly, at or above the real Living Wage
✅ They are given time — no rushing or unrealistic schedules
✅ They are trained in sensory-aware cleaning (e.g. no strong scents, quiet working, hidden clutter management)
✅ They are respected as professionals, not treated as disposable labour
✅ They are part of our impact — and our success

Our guests trust our spaces because we trust our people.
That’s what ethics looks like in action.

We say no to toxic “freshness”

A lot of cleaning products are designed to smell “clean” — but in reality, they’re full of:

• 🚫 Phthalates
• 🚫 Synthetic fragrances
• 🚫 Hormone disruptors
• 🚫 Overpowering aldehydes
• 🚫 Triggering agents for asthma, migraines, and sensory sensitivity

Instead, we use low-toxicity, sustainable products that are:

🌱 Biodegradable
🌿 Fragrance-free or naturally scented
🧴 Effective without being harsh
👃 Designed not to linger in the air or on skin
🌍 Kinder to the planet and the people using them

This isn’t just a guest preference. It’s a health standard.

Sustainability meets sensory safety

A Diverse Nation clean means:

🧼 No wasteful single-use plastic products
♻️ Reusable cloths and eco-cleaning systems
💧 Conscious water use
🧽 Cleaning tools and products selected with sustainability and sensory comfort in mind
🔇 Quiet, low-impact methods — no harsh industrial machinery disrupting neighbours or guests
🪟 Proper airing and ventilation, not artificial masking

We don’t just look clean.
We feel clean — in a way your brain and body can trust.

The link between cleaning, ethics, and accessibility

A poorly cleaned space doesn’t just affect the guest.

It causes:

⚠️ Extra stress for those with OCD or anxiety
⚠️ Regulation challenges for autistic or ADHD travellers
⚠️ Lost rest and recovery
⚠️ Doubt about safety, especially for vulnerable or disabled guests

And it often comes down to businesses cutting corners to save money.

We refuse to do that.

We clean slowly, properly, and respectfully — because we believe ethical cleaning is accessible cleaning.
