However, the use of chemicals and cleaning agents in day-to-day operations \u2013 in the laundry, kitchen, housekeeping department and grounds maintenance \u2013 is relevant.

In December 2025, the in-house laundry (Lingerie) was converted to a new dosing system from Hepro. This enabled a reduction in chemical consumption whilst maintaining the same washing quality, and the number of detergents used was reduced from eight to six products. In the kitchen and gastronomy, the switch to more sustainable cleaning products from Steinfels Swiss took place in 2025. In garden and landscape maintenance, chemical plant protection products are consistently avoided (<a href=\"https:\/\/sustainability.dolderhotelag.com\/en\/environment\/biodiversitaet-und-oekosysteme\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2192 Biodiversity chapter<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div\n        class=\"wp-block-mind-accordion-item\"\n\t    :class=\"{ 'is-expanded': expanded, 'is-collapsed' : !expanded }\"\n        id=\"wp-block-mind-accordion-item-6\"\n\t    x-data=\"{ expanded: false }\"\n\t    x-init=\"$watch('current', function() { if (!allowMultipleOpen) { expanded = current == 'wp-block-mind-accordion-item-6';
