Hotels
From the very beginning, the hospitality community has shown us nothing but enthusiasm and kindness. We are especially moved by the housekeeping teams at all of our partner hotels, who tell us time and again that they are excited and proud to be part of the project.
Below is a high level overview of the hotel engagement process. Please contact us at hotels@globalsoap.org if you would like to learn more or visit our Hotel Check-In page to register.
The Global Soap Project Process
Hotel Registration
It all begins with the hotels! Hotel representatives can use the registration form or contact our hotel engagement manager to get started.
Collection
Soap is collected from hotels and shipped to our warehouse in Georgia.
Sorting
Because every brand is distinct, we do not mix soap. Each is sorted into containers for each hotel and brand.
Processing
The soap is softened by heat and filtered through an extremely fine-mesh screen to remove dirt and other particulates. It is then molded into finished bars, hand cut, cured, inspected and packaged. Much of this work is performed by volunteers.
Verification
GSP commissions third-party laboratory tests to screen for traces of pathogens on a sample from each batch of soap it produces before it ships.
Distribution
We work with distribution partners and NGOs to ship, distribute soap and educate recipients on the best way to use it for health and sanitation purposes.
