Nexon Healthcare provides top tips on how to reduce the risk of hospital acquired infections (HAIs).
There's no time to waste Sustainable practices are increasingly becoming our daily habits. This is particularly true when it comes to cutting down plastic waste – whether it's separating plastics from our general domestic waste for recycling or taking reusable shopping bags to the supermarket. Awareness has grown in recent years of the issues surrounding plastic waste with many initiatives being launched to help reduce it. A scheme is being proposed to encourage recycling and cut plastic waste, which would see customers in England pay more for drinks in the shops. Shops and businesses around London have also joined a Thames Water scheme that offers people free tap water ‘refills’ as part of the Mayor of London’s plans to reduce single-use plastic bottles in the capital. In Norway, 95% of all plastic bottles are now recycled, compared with England at the moment where the rate is 57%. About half of all the plastic bottles used in a year in England are water bottles. Of course, more action must be taken to reduce the damage being done before it becomes irreversible. Plastic has toxic pollutants that damage the environment and cause land, water and air pollution. It can take hundreds or even thousands of years for plastic to break down, so the damage to the environment is long-lasting. With more than eight million tonnes going into the oceans every year, it is estimated there will be more plastic than fish by 2050 and 99 per cent of all seabirds on the planet will have consumed some. The cleaning and hygiene industry has a pivotal role to play in tackling this serious issue and, in doing so, to demonstrate its value to the world. There are already forward-thinking companies recycling and repurposing plastics from bin liners, chemical packaging and polybags, as well as finding ways to reduce the use of plastic altogether. There is even cleaning-product packaging created from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic which, 'closes the loop' in the use of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic. According to our recent survey into the Future of Cleaning, 89 per cent of cleaning professionals surveyed at the end of 2017 thought environmental concerns would either be a significant or major driver within the cleaning industry in the years to come. This prediction is already coming true: The Government published details in January of its 25-year Environmental Plan, with ministers vowing to eradicate all avoidable plastic waste in the UK by 2042, improve the natural environment and throw much more emphasis on innovation in plastics to keep it out of landfill and our oceans. The time is ripe for change so what are you waiting for? With a dumper truck's worth of plastic thrown into the ocean per minute, there really is no time like the present.

Colleagues' dirty bathroom habits put 10% of workers off using the toilet at work Showerstoyou.co.uk polled more than 1,400 UK men and women, employed in a wide number of industries, asking questions about their workplace bathroom, and what they truly think and feel about their co-worker’s bathroom habits. The survey found that over half of workers (51%) have been ‘appalled’ by the state of their office bathroom at least once, over the space of 6
months, and just under half (48%) of people worry about going to the bathroom at work, in fear of being greeted by an unclean, smelly environment. One in 10 would give the bathroom a miss altogether if they could. Despite this, a staggering 7 in 10 (74%) claim to leave the bathroom ‘in the same way they would like to find it’ and make a conscious effort to ensure the cubicle is acceptable
and tidy once finished with. Unsurprisingly the survey also found that the bathroom now has several uses including: putting on make-up, discussing work, going on social media, catching up on emails/texts – even calls – and gossiping. When workers were questioned on how long they typically spend in the office bathroom, the results vary on the situation. Some would rather be in and out (43%), however others will use the opportunity to take a break from their work (31%). 29% of office workers admit to taking their phone into a cubicle, with a large number admitting to just sitting in the cubicle playing games, or browsing the internet, and not using the toilet for its primary purpose. In the survey, for the most part, 73% are more likely to wash their hands when in the presence of another colleague, either for a longer amount of time, or when they normally wouldn’t. Reasons people do not wash their hands after using the bathroom included:
Free London tap water scheme launched to help cut plastic waste Shops and businesses around London including Costa Coffee, Tate Modern, BFI Imax and Leon have joined a Thames Water scheme that offers people free tap water ‘refills’ as part of the Mayor of London’s plans to reduce single-use plastic bottles in the capital. The average London adult buys more than three plastic water bottles every week – a startling 175 bottles every year per person. In total, some 7.7 billion plastic bottles are bought across the UK each year, resulting in substantial amounts of single-use plastic waste. The Mayor is keen for Londoners to adopt small changes that can have a big environmental impact – like refilling bottles and cups with tap water, instead of needlessly buying new single-use ones. He is supporting a pilot of the Refill London scheme which is run by Thames Water and City to Sea, a campaign group that aims to help
6
stop ocean pollution. They will be recruiting even more businesses to the scheme over the coming weeks and months. And if this proves a success the Mayor plans to help roll the scheme out across the capital over the summer. The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “A free tap water scheme
is long overdue in London and I welcome all of the retailers and business who have shown their strong commitment to reducing unnecessary plastic waste by joining the London Refill scheme. “We all need to try harder to cut the excessive use of single-use plastic bottles, cups and cutlery that can

• A queue at the sink/hand-dryer (28%) • Sink is dirty (24%) • A bad smell (17%) • Simply couldn’t be bothered (13%) • No soap/sanitiser (10%) • Fear of colleagues being judgemental for taking too long (8%) Over two thirds (68%) of people feel ‘disgusted’ when they notice a colleague not washing their hands. Surprisingly, a third (34%) of workers would consider confronting a colleague over poor hygiene and cleanliness in the bathroom. The biggest pet peeves cited by office workers are as follows: 1. Not flushing the toilet after use (39%) 2. Not replacing toilet roll (24%) 3. Leaving make-up/dirt around the sink (16%) 4. Not putting rubbish in the bin (12%) 5. Having conversations in the bathroom (9%)
end up pointlessly overflowing our landfill sites, finding their way into our oceans and harming our environment. I hope that even more businesses sign up to the scheme to help Londoners make small but significant steps, like refilling our bottles, to drive down plastic waste.” The Refill London scheme will initially operate in five areas of London: Greenwich town centre, Lewisham High Street, the Southbank and Bankside, Regent St, and London Bridge. More than 65 businesses and shops have already joined the Refill scheme in the five areas, and will also be listed on a free Refill app and website (www.refill.org.uk) that lists all the locations in London and more than 5,700 refill locations across the UK. Participating shops and businesses will have stickers in their windows letting people know they are offering free Thames Water tap water and that there is no need to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed asking for it. The “OneLess campaign, led by The Zoological Society of London, will evaluate the first phase of the scheme and their analysis will feed into plans for a wider roll-out.

Brits want even tougher treatment for litterers, finds new poll Earlier this year local authorities were given the go-ahead to double on-the-spot litter fines to a maximum penalty of £150. However, results from a new poll have found that Brits support taking a significantly tougher stance on punishing those who litter, giving their backing to a range of strict new measures to tackle the growing problem. Nearly half the UK believes those caught littering should take part in community service litter picks (48%), with more than a third of us even going as far as calling for litterers to face criminal prosecution (36%). The poll, conducted by Serco’s Environmental Services business with its long-term research partner Future Thinking, canvassed more than 3,000 people. It asked respondents what should be done to tackle littering in light of the growing scale of the problem. The amount of litter dropped every year in the UK has increased by 500% since the 1960s and the cost to taxpayers of picking up litter is now nearly £800m per year. Other punitive measures supported by respondents to the poll include naming and shaming litterers on social media (30%) and fining the parents of children caught littering (30%).
The hard stance isn’t limited to individuals; the poll also found that one in four of us (24%) believe that companies whose packaging is most commonly found as litter should be taxed. Robin Davies of Serco’s Environmental Services business said: “Given the costs of clean-up and the damage littering does to the environment, habitats and local wildlife, it is not surprising that our survey reveals strong national support for more enforcement than
is currently the case. Local authorities will need to think carefully however about how enforcement measures can be applied in a fair, reasonable and proportionate fashion.” He continued: “Enforcement is often seen as a means to generate income from those who are least able to afford it. There is a need for a debate about whether income from the increased enforcement activity can be ring-fenced and reinvested in education and prevention, as part of
New code of practice allows better planning for product recalls A new code of practice for consumer product recalls has been released, designed to help companies plan and execute product recalls after a series of large-scale recalls in recent years. PAS (Publicly Available Specification) 7100 has been published after several years of consultation and following a series of recent product safety concerns, including the ongoing safety issue with tumble dryers, which have been blamed for a number of fires in the UK. It follows the introduction of the new Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) in January, a new national oversight body responsible

for identifying consumer risks and managing responses to large-scale product recalls. Part one of the new code of practice is intended to make it easier for businesses to take corrective action if a product safety issue is identified, covering all ‘general’ consumer products, excluding food and vehicles. A second part of the guidance is aimed at regulators. Andrew Logan, head of regulatory at Gordons law firm, said: “This is a significant new document which will make it easier for businesses to implement a management response plan if they experience a product safety issue. With an increasing focus on product safety and in light of
recent recalls, it has never been more important to have that plan in place. “The legal responsibilities for product safety sits with manufacturers, importers and retailers to ensure they only place safe products on the market and take fast and effective corrective action if a safety issues arises. “The OPSS has been set up to help identify risks and manage responses from the relevant businesses, but it is still vitally important for manufacturers, importers and retailers to work with their legal team to understand this new code of practice and develop the most effective recall plan in case a safety issue is identified.”

an integrated approach to environmental maintenance that balances prevention and enforcement.” Claire Tyrrell-Williams, associate director at Future Thinking, added: “The strength of feeling about littering is unsurprising given the growing scale of the problem, but the fact that so many are in support of jumping from fines to criminal prosecution underlines just how far people are prepared to go to curb it.”

Brexit: Legal Viewpoint
The countdown to Brexit In just under 12 months’ time the UK will leave the EU on 29 March 2019. Whilst negotiations at the highest level are continuing, many employers in the cleaning industry will no doubt be considering what the future holds when it comes to retaining valued EU staff members; but also how to maintain staffing levels during the transition period and once free movement of workers ends in December 2020.

should also be weighed against the very real chance of a post-Brexit shortage of employees to carry out certain low skilled roles, including cleaning, housekeeping and other maintenance roles that are vital across the board to the cleaning industry.
As ever, preparation will be key – and businesses should now be considering the extent to which they are reliant upon foreign workers, and across which roles. Without this data, it may be difficult to identify the positions that could become more difficult or expensive to fill in the future. When it comes to high turnover roles relying heavily upon EU workers, businesses should also consider whether there are alternative sources of labour – for example apprentices, and also whether roles can be re-scoped to appeal to a wider range of people. If nothing else, carrying out the above exercise will help to highlight the areas where gaps and challenges may arise in the future.
Lack of clarity post-Brexit
Businesses should consider whether there are alternative sources of labour – for example apprentices, and also whether roles can be rescoped to appeal to a wider range of people
Look after existing staff Of course, one of the most cost-effective and long-term steps a business can take in future-proofing its team is in looking after the people it employs. This applies of course to all employees, but for those that rely heavily upon foreign workforces, it is sensible to take proactive steps to provide bespoke support and perks. The sky’s the limit when it comes to inducements, and of course practicalities and cost must be borne in mind. However, it is possible to incentivise a workforce on a budget and many of those most frequently offered needn’t break the bank. Popular incentives include additional holidays for birthdays, increased flexibility during school holidays, and generous allowances around parental-, compassionate- and sickness leave. EU citizen employees can be supported by employers providing information and administrative support, and even practical help in securing their residence status up until a new system is created, and beyond. It is sensible to tailor any proposed
14
benefits to the individuals the business hopes to retain; so carry out research into what employees appreciate and value before changing employment contracts. Good, detailed research should reveal which perks will be popular and helpful. Finally, remember to take detailed employment law and tax advice before making any changes.
Take the long view In the short-term, there will be costs but these should be considered against the more opaque cost to the business of losing valuable staff in the future. They

One issue causing concern for many in the cleaning industry is the question of what comes next. That free movement of workers will remain until the end of the transition period (December 2020) gives businesses and EU citizens working across the cleaning industry an element of breathing space. However, the UK government has provided little guidance on what will replace the existing system for new arrivals in January 2021. Given that the cleaning industry is heavily reliant upon foreign workers, it is concerning that no real reassurances have been given as to how it will continue to fill these positions in the future. Although it is impossible to predict what will replace the existing system, it is clear that for the cleaning sector and others that rely upon short-term, relatively inexpensive, low-skilled EU labour; something akin to free movement would be welcomed to prevent excessive wage inflation and the very real prospect of a major skills shortage.
In conclusion In light of the employment challenges created by Brexit, those responsible for recruitment and retention across cleaning businesses would be sensible to remain vigilant to any proposals made by the government in this field. They should strive to retain existing valued staff by considering supporting and inducing them, and above all, remain flexible and open to changes in working patterns. Tel:0161 234 6800

Brexit: Association Viewpoint
Braced for change With Brexit negotiations continuing to be slow, to say the least, uncertainty abounds. This is felt all the more in service industries like cleaning, which need to predict their clients’ behaviour over the coming years, as well as plan their own. Worshipful Company of Environmental Cleaners deputy master, Jack Broadley, says his organisation can play an important role in the success of the industry following our departure from the EU
W
ill Brexit see a mass outflow of businesses to the continent? Will we still be able to rely on large numbers of workers from the EU? These are perhaps two of the biggest questions facing the cleaning industry as we await further progress in the Brexit talks. Even if a transitional period is agreed, it is clear we must be braced for change and prepared to make the most of the opportunities that come our way. It may seem odd for a traditional organisation such as the Environmental Cleaners to be actively talking about change, but don’t let our name or appearance fool you. We may have our roots in tradition, but we have our eyes firmly focused on future success. One of our core remits as a London livery company is ‘promoting excellence in [our] profession or trade’ and you can’t do that by only looking backwards.
Emphasis on education Education is a key aspect of our work and it is clear that it needs to play a central role in moving the sector through Brexit and onto a bright future.
With the status of many workers unclear, it is more important than ever for people to be educated so that they understand the nature of the cleaning industry and the opportunities it offers for dedicated and talented people. The industry needs to be seen as so much more than a job people ‘fall into’ or ‘just cleaning’. It offers a varied and challenging career with many rewards for those who engage in it fully. Second to being able to attract the right people to the industry is ensuring quality staff are retained to help it grow and thrive. Education and training are once again fundamental in ensuring people have the right skills to do the job and also to develop their careers. There are many ways this can happen. In 2010 we were awarded a Royal Charter and, under articles of that Charter, we are the only cleaning industry body authorised to set up the Register of Chartered Practitioners. Advanced preparations are underway to engage all related cleaning industry associations. The idea is to come together under a common qualification

criteria to promote the Register and enable their members’ employees to gain personal qualifications as a Registered Chartered Practitioner for the first time in the history of our industry. In addition, the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) has a number of courses and many cleaning companies have inhouse training programmes. Our role as a livery company is to further education and training in connection with the advancement of hygiene within the community. We do this through a series of bursaries and donations. We also help maintain the focus on education, even in potentially challenging financial periods, and are the place for those looking to grow in the industry to come to mix with likeminded and successful industry colleagues. Our industry will not stand still over the next few years, so it’s important that we are braced for the challenges and ready to react to whatever comes our way. We think that by working together to educate potential recruits, existing colleagues and our customers we’ll be in a great position. www.wc-ec.com Tel:01708 505548

ISSA
Educate your staff and get ahead In this article Regina Henrich, the european manager for ISSA, examines the benefits of education and certification with ISSA
T
he cleaning industry – just like any other industry – is always changing. There is a constant need for companies to adapt as governments implement new regulations and laws. But also, social factors and environmental developments are driving change, while expectations in the industry are evolving. To stay ahead of the game, companies need to see these developments, understand the impact and act on them. It doesn’t only come down to the qualifications of the CEO. Companies need qualified staff at all levels to recognise what could affect business operations and also to drive innovation. However, training your workforce costs time and money – often someone from outside is needed to do the training. There are a number of drawbacks to this situation. There will be additional cost, missed time, and – when the training is not relevant or carried out badly – valuable work hours are wasted. Understandably, employers don’t necessarily want to take that risk. However, there are a number of key benefits from training your employees to bear in mind. Lifelong learning is already a reality – and to keep your competitive edge, education and certification should be an essential part of your company culture. Therefore, ISSA cooperates with academies across the world to promote and provide education, host networking events and offer training to members and nonmembers of the industry.
Why invest in your employees? If you need more convincing of clear reasons why you should invest in staff training, here are the most important advantages: Regular employee training gives your company more on the job know-how and knowledge. It is not just about specific knowledge but also for skills like time management, social skills or

of your staff, this motivates qualified professionals from your competitors to apply to you – making it easier to find exactly what you want. In the end, satisfied employees will increase the willingness to perform, which increases their productivity; which in turn leads to higher profits. Professional staff training has a positive effect on the service profit chain. Put simply, employees understand employee training as a signal of appreciation. In the long term, an attractive HR development programme will create a motivated environment, foster innovation, reduce risk, increase the productivity of your employees and of your business as a whole, and boost your bottom line.

team building. Secondly, employees will pass on what they have learned. Professional staff training doesn’t only benefit one person, it will always benefit the whole team. Another benefit for your company is that training obviously increases the qualification of your employees and allows you to recruit new professionals internally. Inevitably, this will build employee loyalty. The positive incentive of employee training increases their identification with the company. This is a key success factor for a company. In the long term, employee retention through continuing education offers positive effects on innovation and company growth. By consistently investing in training your employees the overall reputation of your company improves. This also leads to the increased attractiveness of your company to potential new employees.

Opinion Simon Gasson, joint MD of So Clean Cleaning and Support Services, was recently asked: “What are the benefits of using a dedicated cleaning supplier versus a TFM solution?” Here, he ruminates on the answer
The contract cleaning insider “What are the benefits of using a dedicated cleaning supplier versus a TFM solution?” I should have known the answer off pat, considering I’m frequently bidding for work against ‘the big boys’. But I didn’t. I had to go away and think about it. I needed to cast-off my ‘David versus Goliath’ mind set and put together a reasoned response. An awful lot of cleaning in the UK is already done by dedicated cleaning suppliers. The prestige offices of central London, the nation’s schools, colleges and universities, our local authorities – they’re cleaned in the main by reputable single service contractors whose annual turnover is probably less than £20m. I asked myself why this is the case and eventually narrowed it down to a few key factors:
• We’re specialists at what we do. We understand how to design an output spec that delivers constantly high cleaning outcomes rather than simply telling a cleaner to clean something so many times a week. • We bring networks of vetted, insured and reliable supply partners to cover the ‘ancillary’ services – window cleaning, pest control, washroom hygiene, etc. • We generally offer a higher level of contact, usually at director level, than is likely to be forthcoming in a TFM company. This makes it easier to sit down with us as strategic partners and discuss efficiency savings. The chances are we’re much keener to retain the business. • We’re innovative and more likely
to introduce specialised equipment to the contract, especially if we’re locally based and maintain equipment off site that we use across more than one client. Specialist deep cleaning, for example. • We pretty much all use mobileenabled contract management software nowadays to support both our back office and client facing processes, meaning we’re becoming more cost efficient and more client responsive. I don’t think I'm being unfair to TFM providers – there’s definitely a place for them. If you’re a facilities manager running a portfolio of buildings around the country with multiple services to manage, then you’ll not be looking to source
dozens of cleaning, catering, security and maintenance contractors to meet your needs, but if you’re free from these constraints, then why not enjoy the advantages a dedicated cleaning company can bring. The last five years have seen huge technological advances in all aspects of cleaning. As a typical cleaning contractor I certainly can’t compete with a TFM company on price, but by bringing our technical expertise to bear we’ll aim to outshine them on service. It’s to the credit of so many FMs, managing agents and procurement officers nowadays that they recognise this.

Ramon Hygiene launch a new range of cleaning products Ramon Hygiene Products are excited to announce the launch of a new range of cleaning products under the brand name of ‘Optima Proclean’. This range of hygiene products, which have been specifically designed with the cleaning professional in mind, offers uncompromised performance and quality at a competitive price. Ramon have been producing nonwoven and microfibre products under the ‘Optima’ brand since its inception in 2008, and although the ‘Optima’ name has long since been associated with high quality, professional products. It was largely felt that the branding and product offering available did not necessarily reflect this. After a complete range review it was established that Ramon’s two main branded products ‘Optima’ and large parts of the ‘Professional Catering Range’ were both targeting cleaning professionals with the same fundamental requirements. Simply good quality, durable cleaning consumables, they could rely on to get the job done to the highest possible standards, all at the right price.

After an exciting year for UhUb, it considers borderless training standards beyond UK UhUb, the Whole-Workforce Training and Engagement system launched early 2017 and it’s already changing attitudes in UK
W
ith a long background in technology and business, 12 years selling, solutioning, and reviewing Cleaning and Soft FM contracts in UK, EU and further afield, the team knew there was a need to change the way the industry thinks about training and engagement. No small task, but what they created is something special. Stephen Goodall, Founder & MD, says, ’When we launched to our first clients we knew there was a need for UhUb, but were doing what most start-ups do, working out the processes and details as we went. Those first months are scary, but our clients showed belief, and we were in learning mode working hard with them to simplify & improve features, and create our UhUb community approach.’ Quality companies are enthusiastically joining the UhUb community to maximise
whole-workforce engagement benefits, as they see UhUb work for others with exciting rewards, including; improved staff satisfaction, productivity & quality, reducing churn, improving contract wins & retention rates, never before available real-time performance insights, work relevant language learning, career progression through UhUb training, H&S, and much more. ‘With interest to collaborate from education organisations like City & Guilds’, says Stephen, ‘it shows UhUb is needed. We want to go further by exploring borderless training & engagement standards in Europe and further afield.’ ‘If you started your own business you’ll know what an intense journey it is from scribbled ideas on a wall, to a point where it’s unstoppable.’ ‘It’s been great, but we’re just starting, we
have a fantastic team, and attract top quality clients. We are here to stay, and with presence in the UK sector increasing quickly, and growing interest in Europe, I really believe we are set to create a sea change.’ The positive impact of UhUb is undeniable, and they look certain to be a significant influence over the coming years with ambitions beyond UK already being discussed. See what UhUb can do for your business, and get in touch with them, or catch them visiting Interclean Amsterdam in May.

Hospital & Healthcare Hygiene
How to fight hospital acquired infections Nexon Healthcare examines the important role that hygiene plays in hospital and healthcare environments and provides advice on how to reduce the risk of hospital acquired infections (HAIs)
P
atients and visitors receiving treatment in hospital and healthcare environments are already vulnerable to the spread of infection. So making sure effective cleaning regimes are in place for treatment rooms, corridors, reception areas and wards is critical. According to a report, about 1 in every 20 inpatients has an infection related to hospital care. Most shockingly, hospital acquired infections (HAIs) kill more people than breast cancer, AIDS, and automobile accidents combined. Hygiene cannot be compromised. Here are some suggestions to reduce the risk of HAIs:
Hospital floors
Hand hygiene
Training
Floors are one of the main areas that get contaminated with settlement of airborne bacteria, by contact with shoes, trolleys and other objects. Staff should focus on three components for a germfree floor. These are: • Disinfectant • Cleaning equipment • Procedures and processes
Hands are one of the primary spread of HAIs. Although hand hygiene is very simple, several studies of hand washing in high-acuity units with patients have found that as few as 1 in 7 staff wash their hands between patients! This often results in the transmission of germs from one to another. The best way to wash hands is as follows: • Wet hands with clean running water • Apply soap • Lather hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Don’t forget to lather the back of hands, between the fingers, and under the nails. • Scrub hands for at least 20-30 seconds • Dry with a disposable towel
Without proper training on how infections can occur and spread, staff are likely to make mistakes without realising the potentially hazardous effect. Research by the CDC shows that when healthcare professionals are made aware of infection problems and take specific steps to prevent them, rates of certain HAIs can decrease by more than 70%. Facility-wide training should be implemented, so every team member will be educated to make a difference to improving patient care, maximising safety and preventing the spread of infection.
For effective infection control, floors should be brushed/vacuumed first in order to remove debris and dust. When dust-controlling in a room, aim to finish by the door and start at the furthest point away from it. After, use a colour coded mop and bucket – by sticking to a colour per area, this reduces the risk of cross contamination e.g. mopping in a patient room to a ward area. Prepare the cleaning solution in the mop bucket, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and with the training. Mop the floor, on completion remove the final mop head and place in the laundry bag, clean and dry all equipment and store safely and tidily in a secure storage area, segregated according to colour-coding where appropriate.
22
Apart from ensuring hands are washed effectively, staff need to know how to wear gloves properly to reduce the spread of bacteria. Gloves must always be changed between patients and when moving from a residential area to a shared restroom space. Additionally, hands should also be washed after removing gloves. Hand hygiene signs are a great way to remind staff when to wash hands, as well as reducing the risk of germs spreading between areas.
Find more like this at: www.cleaning-matters.co.uk
Get feedback from patients Several studies of hand washing in high-acuity units with patients have found that as few as 1 in 7 staff wash their hands between patients
To gain more insight in to whether staff are doing their best to reduce the risk of HAIs, facilities should encourage feedback from patients. Patients should be given the opportunity to learn the rates of infection and have basic knowledge as to how HAIs spread. This will give patients the chance to review and assess whether they are happy with the cleanliness of facilities. When patients have the confidence to speak up, staff are more aware if there is anything they forgot to do and the risk of infection is consequently lowered. Tel: 0800 9995006

Innovative HSG Clinches The Queen’s Award For Enterprise Derby-based HSG, a market leader in washroom water conservation and services, has been recognised for enterprise excellence in The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise in Innovation.
T
he Queen’s Awards for Enterprise celebrates the UK’s small and medium sized businesses. Now in its 52nd year, they are one of the most prestigious business awards in the country, with winning businesses able to use the esteemed Queen’s Awards emblem for the next five years. HSG applied for the Awards in recognition of the impact that its innovative and unique Ureco system is having on businesses and venues across the UK. The Ureco urinal sleeve and Uretech water management system is already installed and achieving unrivalled water and money savings in some of the UK’s top venues including the 02 Arena in London, NEC in Birmingham, major restaurant chains, top football clubs and some of the largest retail shopping centres across the country. HSG’s system is the market leader in this field by using patented technology to improve the washroom environment. The Ureco stops smells by trapping urinal odours below the surface and reduces blockages through the patented enzyme system which breaks down the fat, acid and salt in urine. This enables the Uretech to reduce urinal flushes from around 96 times to just four times a day - saving money by reducing water consumption by up to 96%. HSG has continued its innovation backed by extensive research and development with the recent launch of the Uretech Plus professional water management solution. Fitted onto a venue’s existing water meter, Uretech Plus uses the latest Wi-Fi technology to provide minute by minute readings of water usage to a laptop, tablet or smartphone. HSG Managing Director Simon Rice explained: “I couldn’t believe it when the letter arrived that our application for the Queen’s Award for Enterprise we had been successful.” “It will give us the platform to forge on with our future research and development in more new products.”
“Although we are a relatively small company, we certainly punch above our weight in the industry and have some of the most prestigious venues in the country on our client portfolio.” “It is therefore a huge honour to be able to display the emblem on all our packaging and marketing materials and to fly the flag outside our offices in Pride Park.” For more information about HSG please visit the new-look website www.hsguk.com
Award-Winning HSG Expands With Two Key Appointments HSG has expanded its account management team due to its growing order book. Clare Taylor and Lynn Devine have both held senior positions at Cannon Hygiene for several years. They have joined HSG as Senior Account Managers to help the company capitalise on the increasing opportunities from its innovative research and development into new products. Their appointments coincide with HSG clinching The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise in Innovation. HSG was awarded the coveted Award in recognition of the impact that its innovative and unique Ureco system is having on businesses and venues across the UK. The impact of the announcement has already had a positive impact on the company’s order book alongside the increased engagement in HSG’s launch of the Cleen App and Cleen Dashboard which is the UK’s first fully integrated washroom review and management system. Clare Taylor, who has been Business Development Manager at Cannon Hygiene since Left to right Lynn Devine, Clare Taylor and Simon Rice.
2011, will lead on the project management of the Cleen App and Dashboard. The Cleen App is free to download and enables customers and visitors to rate the washrooms in any type of venue from restaurants and shopping centres to sports stadia and airports. These can then be viewed by other Cleen App users so that they can see which venues have good – and poor – washroom facilities and make a choice to visit accordingly. In addition to the app, the Cleen Dashboard enables businesses and washroom services providers to have full and immediate access to reviews highlighting the issues so that they can take action and directly respond to customer feedback. Lynn Devine joined Cannon Hygiene in 2009 and was Senior Account Manager until recently. She will manage the needs of major customers for HSG’s washroom services provision as well as the innovative Ureco urinal sleeve and Uretech water management system. The system is the market leader in this field by using patented technology to improve the washroom environment. HSG Managing Director Simon Rice explained: “It has been an amazing few weeks for the company with the news about our success in The Queen’s Award for Enterprise – coinciding with Clare and Lynn joining the team. “They both bring a wealth of experience and expertise in the washroom services industry and are a huge asset for us as we move forward.” For more information about HSG please visit the new-look website www.hsguk.com

Hospital & Healthcare Hygiene
Keeps track of hand hygiene compliance DebMed, the hand hygiene and skin care solutions expert, has partnered with RFiD Discovery to combine breakthrough technologies, which will accurately record real-time hand hygiene moments across hospital wards. In the UK today, approximately 300,000 patients contract an illness whilst being treated in healthcare premises, costing the NHS £1 billion a year. Patients are frequently moved across wards within a hospital, resulting in the risk of infections spreading further. In light of this, DebMed has teamed up with RFiD Discovery, the recognised brand for radio frequency identification solutions for the healthcare industry, to launch an RFID Asset Tracking Solution that links with point of care dispensers. The solution incorporates a unique tag into the bracket that sits at the end of the bed, which is vital for performing point of care hand hygiene. The technology is part of the DebMed Hand Hygiene Compliance
System and will allow trusts to accurately report hand hygiene data, by recording the exact location of each event, even if a bed is moved to another part of the hospital. The flexibility of the system will
also ensure that hospitals can capture and monitor hand hygiene compliance following the WHO 5Moments, which recommends when exactly healthcare workers clean their hands. The 5-Moments include;
cleaning before touching a patient, before cleaning or aseptic procedures, after body fluid exposure or risk, after touching a patient and after touching patient surroundings. Tel: 01773 855100
Hospitals can be clean and green The CEO of Delphis Eco, Mark Jankovich, is keen to spread the word on new advances in ensuring hospitals are not only clean but green. “Harmful cleaning chemicals are increasingly coming under scrutiny in the media for the unintentional consequences to health and environment, and there is irony in the fact it is the private sector which has led the way in developing new and innovative technologies to ensure the highest standards of cleaning. “Sustainability and ecologically sound cleaning products have never been so important across the NHS. Products that work and deliver their promise in supporting cleanliness and hygiene factors, yet without being harmful to those on, or working around, the premises. Such products do exist.

Infection Prevention & Control
Workplace hygiene stand Tork manufacturer Essity has introduced a hygiene stand that accommodates Tork Alcohol Foam Hand Sanitiser and a box of Tork Facial Tissues. This provides staff and visitors with easy access to hygiene facilities in workplace reception areas, meeting rooms and shared office spaces. “Colds and flu are perennial problems in the office environment – and it’s no wonder,” said Tork FM sector sales manager Stuart Hands. “Many people today struggle in to work even when they are suffering from an infection or virus. And they will often greet colleagues and customers with a hand-shake even though they are ill. “Anyone with a cold who blows their nose and goes on to shake hands with someone else may well pass on their illness. The Tork Hygiene Stand ensures that every employee has a tissue when they need one – and a means of sanitising their hands after using it.” The freestanding unit forms part of a complete range of Tork workplace cleaning and hygiene systems – all of which feature in the Tork Office Web Tool. This provides facilities managers with a comprehensive web-based checklist to help them equip each area of their building with essential cleaning and hygiene supplies. The tool uses an interactive graphic of an office to highlight hygiene and cleaning challenges in each part of a facility. Recommendations are then given on how to meet these challenges.
“The office as we know it is changing and new cleaning challenges are arising from practices such as hot-desking, shared equipment and the increasing use of touchscreens,” said Stuart. “Facilities managers are expected to be experts in a wide range of fields including fire safety, security, landscaping and catering which means they may not have time to consider the finer details of hygiene supplies. Our web tool makes it easier for them to tick off the items
they need when equipping the meeting room, office, reception area, break room and washroom.” The new Tork Hygiene Stand supports the long-running NHS: “Catch it. Bin it. Kill it” campaign. This urges people suffering from colds and flu to catch coughs and sneezes in a tissue; throw the tissue away afterwards and then wash their hands to kill the germs. The Tork Hygiene Stand incorporates a window where branding messages and hand hygiene prompts may be displayed.
“This new product will be invaluable for offices since it can help reduce sickness and absenteeism,” said Stuart. “By providing tissues and a hand sanitiser in prominent positions – along with a display area for hand hygiene prompts – staff and visitors are constantly reminded of the need to practice good hygiene in order to stay healthy.” The Tork Web Tool can be accessed at: www.tork.co.uk/office Tel: 01582 677400

Welcome to Speed-e and WKH EHQHĂ€ WV RI FRUGOHVV VWHDP FOHDQLQJ
Amongst the many challenges faced by commercial cleaning operators, those relating to productivity, health and safety, the environment would probably rank amongst the highest.
In support of the cleaning operators, the key players in the equipment sales market are
evolving new products that are simple to operate and reduce cleaning costs. One such company, Steam-e, is leading the way with its innovative products in the steam cleaning segment.
90% of most cleaning contracts, many people’s experiences of steam cleaning has been that it is impractical and involved too much set up or downtime for it to be acceptable from a productivity point of view.
Steam cleaning is increasingly viewed by those within the cleaning industry as the optimum way to clean. The reasons are compelling considering the industry’s challenges: There is no longer the need to use harsh chemicals which can harm the environment and no requirement for specialist safe-handling training. Cleaning is performed at a temperature at which practically all known organisms are destroyed. Surfaces can be sanitised effectively and grease broken down easily.
That was until now. Thankfully, Steam-e has turned their expertise in gum removal and cordless technology to the challenge of steam cleaning and in the process taken steam technology into the 21st century and possibly to the verge of a new industrial cleaning revolution. They call their new product “the 6SHHG HÂľ DQG LWV Ă€ UVW LQWURGXFWLRQ WR WKH ZRUOG is here at the Interclean Show in Amsterdam.

Easy & effective graffiti removal Biggest ever Is graffiti art or is it just an act of stand plain vandalism? Opinions on this differ greatly. However, the fact is that the name of the artist is seldom known and the cost of removing unwanted drawings, texts or symbols is usually borne by the community at large or by the owner of the object. But now, through its patented, mobile Tornado ACS vacuumblasting system, the systeco company in Berlin offers an efficient method to remove graffiti from surfaces without having to resort to using pressure cleaning or chemicals. Since the cleaning system is a closed circuit and any pollutants are filtered out and separated inside the

Take the OdorBac challenge OdorBac Tec4 is not just an innovation – it’s a revelation! Developed with the help of Newcastle Science City, its unique breakthrough technology has been granted full patent protection.
T
he original design brief was to invent the world’s best odour eliminator with the power to tackle odours and noxious gases in the most extreme conditions, like landfill sites and sewage plants. This objective was achieved and surpassed. OdorBac Tec4 removes malodours and harmful gases on contact, without reverting to bacteria. But it also does so much more. The technological innovation makes the individual ingredients work many, many times more effectively than they would in a “normal” product and the result is a combined odour eliminator and supereffective multi-purpose, multi surface cleaner that can be delivered by trigger sprays, mop or machines. Its patented odour eliminating technology means
• Safe – even in its concentrated form the product is non-hazardous. • Environmental – it is non-toxic and 100% biodegradable. • Performance – Powerful first time cleaning and odour elimination. • Efficiency – One product, multiple tasks. Simple. • Time – Less risk assessments, less training, less management.
2Pure believes that OdorBac Tec4 will change the face of cleaning.
that, when used, areas ‘feel’ exceptionally fresh as well as being exceptionally clean. For commercial cleaning operations the benefits are hugely significant: • Product Consolidation – Customers can use up to 90% less products.
2Pure believes that OdorBac Tec4 will change the face of cleaning and is the most significant chemical development in the last 30 years. Early adopters include Care UK, G4S, Choice Care, NHS Trusts and Newcastle University. OdorBac is a UK innovation www.2pureproducts.com

Chemicals & Dosing
Controlling chemical hazards in food production Cleaning and disinfection chemicals are required to be stored, transferred, dosed, applied and rinsed from surfaces. Holchem looks at the four elements that form the core of most cleaning and disinfection processes in food production environments and the risk assessment that has to take place so that any hazards can be identified and controlled Chemical storage As soon as a delivery of chemicals to a site occurs provisions should be in place to ensure that they are not only stored in a safe and secure environment but they are also located where the risk of cross contamination from external sources is eliminated or reduced and controlled. An example of where chemical containers and packaging can become contaminated is where they are stored in uncovered external areas and are thus exposed to the elements. These chemical containers and packaging could then be transferred into production areas without undergoing a decontamination procedure, thus exposing food products to an avoidable hazard. The ideal storage solution for chemicals is in a bunded bulk tank that is external to factory areas and well away from production processes and personnel contact. Other external storage solutions include designated areas that are locked, covered, cool, ventilated and not exposed to the elements. Internal cleaning chemical stores should be entirely separate from food and packaging stores.
Chemical transfer Transfer of chemicals from the storage area to the dosing point can be completed via the use of specialist pumps and stainless steel pipework, use of trolleys or usually, by manual handling. The most hygienic option is for the storage of chemicals outside the food manufacturing area and the transfer of diluted product directly to the point of use. All other options require chemical containers to be taken into food processing areas, and thus require decontamination procedures for the outer surfaces of the container,

particularly into high hygiene zones. The handling of only diluted chemicals by the cleaning operatives also has health and safety benefits.
Chemical dosing and chemical application Effective and accurate dosing of chemicals is vital for ensuring that a cleaning and disinfection process delivers the desired result. The use of reliable dosing equipment helps to ensure that these processes are consistent, chemicals are used safely and effectively and costs are controlled. The concept of hazard analysis and hygienic design is relatively new for cleaning equipment manufacturers to consider.
Rinsing Rinse guns are vital tools as they ensure quick removal of debris and chemical residues from surfaces and can access areas that manual methods cannot. Whilst still used in the low risk food manufacturing sector, such as in abattoirs, cutting & boning plants and

poultry factories, the use of high pressure rinse guns in the food industry has been virtually eliminated in high risk / high care food processing sectors in the UK due to the significantly increased risk of cross contamination occurring. Hose management continues to be a challenge in all food and beverage processing environments. The risk of cross contamination to operative or processing equipment is high. The placing of centralised or decentralised chemical satellite stations and the installation of hose reels, together with the hose length leading from such points, should be carefully chosen to minimise the chance of hoses having to be led over production lines to clean adjacent lines. One of the best options is to not utilise reels, hangers or trollies but after each use store the hoses in a designated container holding a disinfectant solution. This ensures that any microbial contamination is significantly reduced before the next use. Tel:01706 222288

Chemicals & Dosing
A handy ‘auto-dose’ of cleaning advice and at the necessary concentration will reduce time spent cleaning (or recleaning). Employee productivity can be improved with the system’s easy-to-use design. When manual systems are used, staff spend more time measuring and mixing chemicals and water to meet the correct ratios.
know and measure the correct amount needed to prepare the chemicals. Overdiluted products will not clean effectively and solutions which are under-diluted waste chemicals. This results in inefficient staff for the former, and increased costs for the latter. Properly concentrated products will prolong the life of chemicals, reduce packaging of products and cut down on the transportation required, compared to ready-to-use products.
Controlling costs
Cleaning safety
Automated dosing equipment, like the Flash Professional Cleaning system, dispense cleaning products at the appropriate ratios every time, controlling the use of chemicals is guaranteed. Well-designed systems, activated by the push of a button, make it easy for employees to choose the appropriate cleaner or disinfectant and fill spray bottles, sinks and buckets with the proper dosing cleaning products. Controlling the chemicals used in cleaning not only prevents chemical over usage and waste, but reduces the frequency with which products need to be purchased. Saving will continue long term and have a continued impact on the bottom line. As water is used for chemical dilution, it is imperative that usage is monitored to ensure products are effective but also to control utility costs. Without automated systems it can be difficult to
Finally, auto dosing of chemicals can also help alleviate safety concerns. The accurate and consistent dosing promotes staff, resident and customer safety by ensuring there isn’t overuse of chemicals or chemicals are not mixed incorrectly. Properly diluted products will clean to their full potential, to disinfect surfaces and kill germs and eliminate dirt. This creates a safe environment for guests in hotels or residents in care homes, helping to create a home away from home environment. Beyond cleaning efficiency and cost savings, auto dosing systems help to ensure the job is done right the first time. Consistently cleaned and disinfected surfaces keep residents, guests and patrons in a clean and hygienic environment. When customers have a satisfactory experience, they’re likely to become repeat customers, and repeat customers are profitable customers. Tel:01932 896000

leaning is a necessity for all business, but something that is often overlooked. Businesses often underestimate the value of clean, and the impact that proper cleaning products and methods can have on their bottom line. An unclean hotel or restaurant does not go unnoticed by guests, and it is something they are quick to mention to others, be it via word of mouth or on social media. With that in mind, it is essential that businesses look for the most cost effective way to get the best results. One such aid, especially for large companies looking to make savings without sacrificing on quality, is to introduce auto-dosing systems.
Employee productivity With labour costs now accounting for 35% of operating costs in many hospitality businesses, choosing the right cleaning equipment can help to improve productivity of your housekeeping staff. Simple to use systems reduce the downtime required in preparing to clean. Cleaning equipment, like the Flash Professional Cleaning System, use simple numbers and colour coding technology to ensure the correct products are used every time. Language barriers are no issue, as product labels and images clearly show how each chemical is used. Choosing the correct product for a job

Christeyns, based on Rutland Street in Bradford, is making sure its home football team, Bradford City, turns out with more than a clean pair of heels. The laundry chemicals specialist has entered a new laundry sponsorship deal set to run until the end of the 2019 season that will see the club save thousands of pounds in laundry supplies. Along with specific liquids to match a variety of wash programmes, Christeyns has also installed an automatic detergent dosing system which will reduce wastage and ensure the wash programmes function at their most efficient. At their ground on Valley Parade, Bradford City Football Club is home to over 150 players, incorporating the reserves, the development squad, the Academy and of course the first team. With several versions of the
club strip, including home, away and training, there are over 210 sets of kit to wash in a week, not to mention towels and physiotherapy blankets. Michael Shackleton, commercial manager at Bradford City, said: “We would like to thank Dave Aveyard and Christeyns for their generosity and support. We have seen brilliant results from the new laundry facilities. Not only is the kit superbly clean but we are saving on energy and water usage too.” Recently appointed kit man Alan Jackson and his team have their work cut out operating the laundry at least six days a week for seven hours a day. Keeping the kit pitch perfect is not an easy job and top quality, tried and tested detergents are essential to keep things running smoothly. Tel: 01274 393286

Slip resistant footwear
Spotlight on health & safety A national waste management group has put the spotlight on health and safety with a week of training and activities for its staff. Cleansing Service Group (CSG), a specialist in household, commercial and industrial waste management, hosted the event as part of its pledge to deliver the highest possible standards in health and safety. The focus week ran from 3rd to 6th April and all members of staff took part, from management to operatives, drivers to office staff. The week addressed four focus areas: vehicle and pedestrian safety, health and wellbeing, risk assessment and a positive health and safety culture within the working environment. Workshops included vehicle hazards, risk assessment, as well as health and wellbeing drop-in sessions and site tours - enabling staff to understand all aspects of CSG’s operations. In addition, a special scheme saw the company’s network of
professional drivers and staff receive advice on maintaining the correct hydration levels while out on the road, as part of CSG’s commitment to caring for all its staff. The business runs from more than 27 facilities across the UK, with a team of drivers, operatives and specialist consultants working together on the goal of diverting waste from landfill by recovering and recycling as much as possible. Sarah Taylor, compliance manager for CSG, said: “In an operational waste management environment, it is crucial that health and safety procedures are followed every day of the year. “Our dedicated week of activities will act as a refresher for staff and ensure that they are fully up to date on key aspects of health and safety. It will also draw attention to the additional precautions we are taking as a company to prevent accidents and ill-health, across the country.” Tel: 01489 782232

Health, Safety & Welfare James Marston, learning and development manager at the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc), looks at the impact of health & safety on productivity and morale in the workplace
Creating a positive health & safety culture There is no doubt in my mind that a health and safety culture in any organisation makes a huge impact on the productivity and morale of its workforce. It’s the law that employers have a duty of care as do employees. Managed carefully with clear aims and objectives your health and safety policy can help drive your business forward, reduce the risk of conflict between staff, and allow staff at all levels to interact with management and other departments of the business for the greater good. I understand that 25% of our workforce is now millennials (born after the year 2000) and they want a different workspace and interaction with their colleagues and the business they work for. People
expect more from their employer and want to feel proud of their brand, product or service and why not? Many spend more time at work than we do at home and so feeling valued and making a difference in the smallest way counts. The CEO that understands this uses it to significant effect to communicate with all staff about their care and wellbeing. The alternative is a negative culture where health and safety is not as important. A lack of direction, leadership, and letting productivity dictate the direction can lead to less safe working practices. Safety conscious employees may over time accept the majority’s way of thinking but eventually leave the business
because they feel unsafe. Inevitably standards will drop, behaviour will be poor, and accidents may occur as a result. Good policy starts at the very top of management who must provide leadership to inspire and motivate managers at all levels to pursue agreed objectives. Just as important is visible leadership. Managers who ‘turn a blind eye’ would be assumed as not interested. Those who demonstrate commitment to health and safety to their staff creates the local health and safety culture and so the organisation transforms into a much safer place to work.
documented on the organisation’s health and safety statement, management can start by leading by example. Managers can play a role in day to day meetings about safety issues and take part in any tours or audits. They can promote change in operations to safer practices and vigorously enforce company safety rules. In doing so they should recognise and reward good behaviour. All these objectives and many others will support a better culture for the good of all. Tel: 01604 678710
How can this be achieved? Once aims and objectives are agreed by senior management and
Frank Angear, general manager for the British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF), provides an insight into ISO 45001, the new international standard for occupational health and safety (OH&S) management
Getting to grips with ISO 45001 ISO 45001 replaces OHSAS 18001, which was originally launched in 1999 and was designed to align the range of national safety and health management standards into a single one, providing a common and universal management system. The aim of ISO 45001 is the same, but it follows the current common terminology and structure set out in the new Annex SL. This is the single major difference between the new and old standards. With an increased focus on improving OH&S performance and processes, ISO 45001 will bring OH&S management and continual improvement into the core of an organisation and allow it to align its OH&S management system with its strategic direction.
54
Easier integration with other ISO standards This new standard is applicable to any type of organisation, large or small, in any industry and any location. Its use of the new ISO Annex SL structure means that it can be easily integrated with other management systems such as ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), and a number of other employee wellness programmes. It provides an opportunity to comply with a global requirement and set benchmarks against health and safety policies and practices which can be integrated as organisations trade across different geographical areas.
Top management involvement ISO 45001 requires organisations to also look beyond their own safety and health requirements and consider what external requirements and risks might exist as a result of their operations. There is also a much stronger focus on the role and buy-in of top management combined with a greater employee contribution. ISO 45001 expects OH&S aspects to be integrated into the structure of an organisation. Under OHSAS 18001 responsibilities sit with the health and safety manager, but with ISO 45001 OH&S responsibilities need to be integrated into everyday business operations, have wider accountability, and will no longer be the sole responsibility

of the health & safety manager. Summary ISO 45001 is designed to provide easier integration with other ISO standards, while top management involvement will lead to greater commitment and shared health & safety responsibility throughout the organisation. By managing risks in an organised manner, organisations will reduce hazards and risks. Organisations will however need to adopt a strategic approach to health and safety management. Tel: 01745 585600

Standing up on the Job If you need to clean a large floor area which has machinery or other obstacles within it, then a ride on scrubber dryer won’t be able to access the more confined areas. A stand-on machine such as the Karcher B95 is more manoeuvrable than a walk-behind scrubber dryer because the operator is ON the machine rather than behind it; this reduces the overall length of the working assembly making it a compact unit for working in congested areas. In addition to providing excellent cleaning, rideon machines are proven to offer higher productivity levels than walk-behind machines, and offer cost savings on rideon variations. If you require 24 hour cleaning, then an optional battery exchange trolley will allow your operators to switch the batteries once they are discharged, and continue cleaning without waiting for the machine to get back into
operation. This isn’t available on ride-ons. Harrison Hire and Sales offer monthly payment options and maintenance contracts to ensure low costs of ownership and maximum performance. Call 0800 888 6662 for a demonstration or for more information. info@hhands.co.uk www.hhands.co.uk

Washroom Hygiene
Five reasons to have hand wash units on vehicles Here Chris Whieldon, sales director at TEAL, the manufacturer of portable hand wash units, offers five reasons why commercial vehicles should put hand hygiene high on their agenda: 1. Ensure your fleet is health and safety-compliant The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has long held that employees should have access to general washing facilities. As of last November, the law changed again to specify that all workers have the right to access washing facilities at non-domestic addresses. However, for those dealing with both dry and wet refuse, the need to have immediate access to washing facilities is imperative. Many still will not be working in areas where there are the requisite buildings to host them. Therefore, the need for vans and other vehicles to have the capabilities to wash hands is vital. 2. Hands may look clean but can be dangerously dirty A recent study has found that over 200 million bacteria can be found on one hand after a trip to the toilet. Engineers may be forced to stop for a comfort break. Supplying fleets with hand rubs or gels can fall seriously short of preventing the spread of viruses and infections.
Web tool launched Installing Tork EasyCube can lead to big savings for customers and manufacturers according to Essity. Tork EasyCube uses sensors placed in dispensers and on doors to
56
Hand sanitisers only act as a barrier against a limited range of germs. Whereas hand washing under warm, running water with soap, remains the gold standard. 3. Good customer service Engineers may be visiting customers at homes or businesses. Clean hands send a clear message to the customer – quality is delivered at all times with cleanliness and professionalism. 4. Working days lost due to ill health According to the Office for National Statistics, over 137 million work days were lost to the UK economy in 2016 due to sickness and injury. Washing hands with soap and water is proven to be the single most effective procedure in stopping the spread of germs and infection. 5. No excuse for poor hand hygiene TEAL Patents is continually developing new solutions but it has been working in the commercial vehicle sector – for which it has a specialist range – for over sixty years. That means every employer who leads a peripatetic fleet workforce should know of TEAL’s range of hot water, hand wash units which can be fitted to their vehicles. The Handeman Xtra – which has been purposefully devised to fit a
monitor refill levels and visitor traffic. This enables staff to monitor areas or the facility remotely via a tablet or smartphone, allowing them to respond immediately when a problem occurs. The Tork EasyCube Value Quantification tool uses algorithms based on quantitative research and documented customer cases to estimate how much facilities
vehicle – does not require access to mains water or drainage meaning engineers can wash their hands wherever their vehicle takes them. As soon as a driver’s hands are dirtied, they have the means to clean them. That can save all manner of occupational hazards from driver well-being just by feeling clean to chronic dermatitis. The Handeman Xtra provides a minimum of ten, 12-second hand washes per filling. Available in four versions, it simply connects to the
managers could save by installing and using the system. Calculations are made according to staffing figures, the number of dispensers on site and the average number of maintenance checks made during the working day. By keying in the number of cleaners and dispensers – plus the working hours and number of operational days per year – FMs can view their potential savings in a choice of seven currencies. “The Tork EasyCube Value Quantification Tool demonstrates the huge value this system can offer,” said product manager Steve Palmer. “Not only does it dramatically reduce the number of maintenance checks required in each area, it also allows staff to plan ahead. A typical cleaning chart left on the back of a washroom door may indicate when the toilet has last been inspected and by whom, but it will provide no information whatsoever on washroom traffic or visitor trends.” The Tork EasyCube Value Quantification Tool can be accessed at: www.tork.co.uk/easycube/ Tel: 01582 677400

Seven ways to reduce waste There are many things the professional cleaning industry can do to help reduce waste. One that is getting particular attention right now is reducing plastic trash liner waste according to Kaivac. Because of this, Kaivac offers the following seven
58
ways to reduce trash liner waste: 1. Save the liner; most small trash can liners can be re-used as long as a week before they need replacement 2. Always use the right size liner for individual cans; use very large trash liners for trash collection 3. Install large trash containers for “wet” waste, like food, in central facility locations; wet liners should be changed daily, dry liners do not 4. Remove all individual trash cans; some organisations place three large trash cans in strategic areas throughout their facilities. One for wet trash; one for dry trash; and one for recyclables 5. Use vacuum-powered trash compactors. Similar to a food sealer, these systems suck the air out of trash liners, reducing the waste volume by as much as one-half 6. Eliminate all trash liners in all trash cans, large and small. 7. Find ways to re-use trash liners, for instance; used liners can be re-used to collect vegetation trimming Tel: +43 6216 452415
Further to the launch of its packaging made from 100% recycled plastic waste and applied across all its sustainable (all-natural) cleaning chemical products, British brand Delphis Eco welcomed Alex Sobel MP for Leeds North West to its offices recently to show him the innovation first hand and discuss how Government and its associated advisory committees could do more to drive early adoption of recycled plastic waste across all consumer packaging. Commenting on the initiative which is set to change the face of how manufacturers approach and produce their packaging, Mr Sobel said that what Delphis Eco has achieved in launching food grade packaging made from 100% recycled milk bottles is a prime example of how British innovation is leading in terms of environmental safety and responsibility. He said: “Both Government and business
have a big responsibility when it comes to how food and FMCG products are packaged. Here we have a British company that is not only producing cleaning chemicals that are highly effective without the inclusion of toxic ingredients but also packaging those products in a way that is responsible, sustainable and progressive.” Tel: 02033970096
Smart water management system Derby-based HSG, an expert in washroom water conservation and services, has further developed its range of water conservation products with the launch of a smart water management system. The Uretech Plus system is currently on trial at a number of venues ahead of the official roll-out. It builds on the success of HSG’s two-fold system – the Ureco urinal sleeve and Uretech water management system. The Ureco stops smells by trapping urinal odours below the surface and reduces blockages through the patented enzyme system which breaks down the fat, acid and salt in urine. This enables the Uretech to reduce urinal flushes from around 96
times to just four times a day saving money by reducing water consumption by up to 96%. This system will now work in conjunction with the Uretech Plus professional water management solution. Fitted onto a venue’s existing water meter, Uretech Plus uses the latest Wi-Fi technology to provide minute by minute readings of water usage to a laptop, tablet or smartphone. It also alerts the venue to a leak (through abnormally high water usage) as soon as it happens and remotely turns the water off to prevent damage and wastage. Tel: 0800 0327760

Tel: 0333 202 6767
RPC bpi recycled products has partnered with the Great British Spring Clean as its sole supplier of 100% recycled plastic refuse sacks for this year’s campaign. The environmental charity is hoping to inspire and mobilise over 500,000 volunteers across the UK to go out and help clean up their local areas. 250,000 blue branded refuse sacks have been exclusively manufactured from post-consumer retail packaging at RPC bpi recycled products’ manufacturing site in Heanor, Derbyshire.

FM & Window Cleaning
Keeping up with London’s growing skyline It was recently announced that by 2020 there will be 18 new skyscrapers in London. Their unique designs will not only redefine the famous skyline but will also create a new set of challenges for the window cleaning companies that have been tasked with servicing these buildings. This includes ensuring workers remain safe whilst cleaning buildings with varying and unusual structures. Gareth Thomas, managing director at SWC, explains more
O
ver the past twenty years, London’s skyline has changed dramatically thanks to the erection of iconic buildings such as Heron Tower, the Gherkin and the Shard. And, it would seem that the city isn’t done yet. It was recently announced that there are 18 new buildings under construction that will reshape the city’s skyline by 2020. This includes the 236mhigh ‘Flower Tower’ in Canary Wharf, which will be Europe’s tallest residential building; ‘The Scalpel’, which will tower 190m over the city’s insurance district; and the Can of Ham, which will open in the heart of the city in 2019. It is inevitable that skylines will change as companies reinvent their office spaces and make the most of the already limited space. However, as architects and construction firms vie for these elite projects, buildings are becoming increasingly advanced in their design and make-up. Whilst this looks aesthetically fantastic and ensures that London’s buildings remain on the world map, it creates a number of challenges for the window cleaning companies that are tasked with keeping these highprofile giants in their best condition. The first is the complex nature of the task at hand. The majority of these buildings are exceptionally high and are often unusual shapes – for example the ‘Walkie Talkie’ curves in on itself. Gaining access to all the exterior parts of these buildings can often be challenging and require innovative, and often unique, solutions. In addition, due to the high-risk nature of the work, safety is a big concern. Companies are being put under an increasing amount of pressure to complete jobs as quickly as possible and within budget. Ensuring this does not come at the cost of safety is of high importance.
60
Rope access techniques One way to overcome these challenges is by joining a trade body, such as IRATA (International Rope Access Trade Association). Rope access techniques are the most common solution to projects that involve working on complex or old buildings. These buildings often have hard to reach areas where access equipment such as mobile elevated working platforms (MEWP’s) or towers are not an option, or don’t have building maintenance units installed. Workers will use a rope secured to an anchor to

These buildings often have hard to reach areas where access equipment such as mobile elevated working platforms (MEWP’s) or towers are not an option
descend or ascend a building whilst supported by a harness. Whilst this may seem unsafe and dangerous, the rigorous training undertaken by operatives, and strict regulations imposed by professional bodies like IRATA, can make it a safe and efficient solution. It allows companies to fully assess the task and work with the building management team to come up with an innovative solution for the problem. At SWC, we recently joined IRATA as a Corporate Member and are already seeing the benefits both in our own business and for our clients. IRATA members have to follow a strict syllabus that delivers a commitment to safe working practices and in order to become a member, you have to prove that your company meets the high standards of safe rope access working. As a result, clients get peace of mind that the work being completed is compliant with all regulations and the company is providing a safe environment for the rope access team, and occupants of the building. Moreover, being a member allows companies to tap into the association’s vast amount of experience, expertise and technical knowledge. For SWC, our IRATA membership has granted us access to a wider range of sites across the country, allowing us to bring our firstclass solution to more companies. In conclusion, as the design of buildings continue to be increasingly complex, the challenges facing rope access teams are going to become even greater.

Go to the mat First Mats explains how matting can keep floors clean in industrial environments
D
o you find that, despite using high-quality entrance mats with a regular cleaning routine, dirt and grime still manages to find its way around your workplace? If you work in an industrial facility such as a manufacturing plant or workshop, then the chances are that the answer is yes. The benefits of using good entrance matting systems have been covered extensively by Cleaning Matters magazine over the years. Because of this, readers like you now have access to a wealth of information about how to choose the right types of matting for your building’s entrances, how big they should be and the different types available. But whilst this helps us in the constant battle to keep the elements outside of the premises, many of the contaminants found in an industrial environment originate from inside the building. That’s why using effective internal matting is a must if you want to keep the floors in the surrounding facility clean, and in this article we will introduce some of the different types available and how they can help. The type of dirt and contaminants that are produced inside a building depend largely on what is being made in the facility. One of the more common contaminants is swarf. This is the debris that is emitted as part of a machining process, including small shavings that are flung from a piece of spinning metal on a lathe, or chippings in a woodworking facility. Without any kind of matting in place, these tiny swarf pieces can easily be carried far around the building on the shoes of your workforce. Fortunately, with the right matting in place, this can be kept to a minimum.

scraper-mat. These feature coarse, textured surfaces that work by scraping all types of swarf away from shoes and onto the mat. Many variants have a low profile of around 5mm, making them ideal in or around doorways between factory and office areas as an internal doormat. For places where cleanliness requirements are more extreme, such as hospitals, laboratories and clean rooms, a sticky mat can be used. These unusual types of matting are made from plastic sheets with an adhesive covering, which pulls finer particles of dust and dirt away from your shoes as you walk over them. When the mat has been used several times and is starting to lose stickiness, the top sheet can simply be peeled away revealing a new layer instantly ready to be used.
Improving floorcare with swarf mats One of the most popular types of industrial matting is the Anti-Swarf Ring-Mat; made completely from rubber which, as the name suggests, features a pattern of circular wells. These allow for fluids to drain on to the floor area underneath the mat and capture swarf pieces, isolating them within the footprint of the mat. At the end of the working day, the mat can then be lifted revealing all the liquids and shards of swarf that would have otherwise been free to spread wherever feet may take them. These swarf mats are normally used around machines, with individual machine operators standing on them throughout the day, but they can also be used in between factory cells as well as outdoors. Another type of swarf mat that can be used for industrial facilities is the

Internal entrance mats Many of the contaminants found in an industrial environment originate from inside the building – that’s why using effective internal matting is a must if you want to keep the floors in the facility clean
Using mats around internal doorways is also a great way to limit the amount of dirt moving from production areas into offices, but it is important to choose a mat that is appropriate for the environment and traffic it will need to cope with. Using either a solid rubber or coarser nylon textured entrance mat will be more effective at scraping dirt and dust away from shoes, keeping it away from the surrounding floors. Mats are the first line of defence when it comes to keeping your floors clean, whether that’s in your home or a bustling factory. With the appropriate matting in place your floors will remain cleaner for longer and greatly reduce the risks of slips; the most common type of injury that occurs in the workplace. Tel:0121 702 1659

Look beyond the label when choosing a new vacuum cleaner The EU Rating System for vacuum cleaners gives an A*** to D performance rating, using power consumption, dust re-emission, pick- up performance and noise. But this does not always mean that the highest rated models perform the best in real world operation, argues SEBO
B
efore the EU Rating System the more technically-minded buyers looked at the very basics of what makes effective suction. This is the combination of airflow and vacuum pressure. Very simply, the more of these properties, especially airflow, the better the performance.
Knowledge is power The biggest factor in the new rating system is the power, in Watts, that the vacuum cleaner uses. The new EU rules dictate that today’s vacuum cleaners must use less than 900 Watts of power. However, many manufacturers have decided to use much less than this, typically around 600 Watts. This gives a boost to the overall EU rating. As a knock on, the less powerful the motor, the less noise it makes; again, more boost to the overall rating. A buyer, therefore, can easily opt for an ‘A’ rated vacuum cleaner without realizing it has compromised suction for low Wattage. This has been exacerbated by performance tests which do not reflect real world conditions. This path has lead to many of our most loved vacuum cleaners to be not only less powerful than before the new rules, but about 30% less powerful than many that do comply with the new rules. When measured in the old way, these machines have around half the vacuum pressure and airflow than they used to. This is much more important in suction-only vacuum cleaners as these rely solely on airflow and vacuum pressure to suck up soiling. Upright
68
vacuums have rotating brushes to remove soiling from the floor for the airflow and vacuum pressure to take away into the bag. Not only does this mechanical action remove a larger proportion of the soiling but gives carpeted floors that beautiful groomed appearance. Some manufacturers have adopted an approach to maintain as much power as allowed, keeping the airflow and vacuum pressure as high as possible. High performance filters are used which give high particle retention while still allowing air to pass with a minimum of resistance and which act as silencers to reduce noise. Improving airways within the machines and better seals help to maintain suction…but, more importantly to give as much real cleaning power as possible. It may not be fashionable to measure performance with airflow and suction pressure. However, these are the essential requirement of all suction-only vacuum cleaners old and new. Manufacturers have generally taken one of two very different approaches to the EU rules. One is to see the rating as the important objective and to achieve as good a label as possible, even if this compromises actual performance. The other, to design a vacuum cleaner to work as effectively as possible across the wide spectrum of everyday use and still comply to the rules, giving high performance in the real world, but not necessarily achieving the highest rating on paper. Make sure when you choose your vacuum cleaner it is the latter! Tel:01494 465 533

Time to cut the cord? Gordon McVean, international sales & marketing director of Truvox International, examines the advantages, trade-offs and other factors to be weighed when choosing between conventional and cordless floor cleaning machines
B
uyers of floorcare equipment have always had to weigh the features and benefits of different cleaning methods, competing marques, and the specifications of models in the same range. Now – from vacuuming to scrubbing and polishing – there’s a new alternative to consider, thanks to the rapid advances in battery power. We do urge many floor cleaning teams to ‘cut the cord’, but we’re open and even-handed when giving clients advice. Truvox developed and markets what we believe to be the first commercial cordless upright vacuum, as well as manufacturing other batterypowered cleaning machines. But conventionally cabled models still make up most of our sales.
using a cordless machine can get more done. In our experience operators find the seamless cleaning experience more enjoyable too, so morale may improve for this and related reasons. Would-be buyers don’t usually need to be reminded to factor in the higher price tag, of course. Cordless cleaning equipment comes at a premium – and that’s not just for novelty value. The additional cost of a battery-powered machine over its cabled equivalent varies. As a general rule, the more expensive the conventional model is, the
So what are the pros and cons? First up has got to be the flexibility of working without trailing cables. Operators appreciate the sheer freedom of working without the stop-start of plugging and unplugging and searching for wall sockets. Operatives, and their managers, are also freed from the worry of tripping up building users or colleagues – or snagging fixtures and furniture. This safety benefit is significant, given the potential cost of a liability claim for injuries sustained in a fall. In daytime cleaning, the advantages of battery power are writ large. The lower noise levels associated with most cordless equipment also help minimise disturbance – a quality that is valued highly by our clients managing healthcare facilities and hotels too. These more obvious advantages should not overshadow the productivity gain and other less tangible benefits. It is hard to quantify the time-saving aspect as circumstances vary so widely between buildings in terms of layout, availability of sockets, floor space, etc. But it stands to reason that a person

smaller the increment proportionately. Sales volumes are a major contributor. As battery manufacturers produce and sell more and more batteries, and we sell more cordless models, the prices of both become ever more competitive. We’re seeing this with the new generation of lithium ion batteries, and expect this trend to continue. Running costs should always be taken into account when selecting floor cleaning machines. Many specifiers are still cautious, given the past record of temperamental batteries and the view that they are ‘just one more thing that can go wrong’. The reality is that modern batteries are far more reliable and largely maintenance-free. Apart from this, the key aspects to consider are running time, the ease with which a back-up battery can be swopped over – if necessary, for long shifts / larger areas – and time taken to re-charge fully. Apart from price, the other factor to weigh is the weight itself. Adding an onboard battery pack can add significantly to the machine’s overall weight. This may be an advantage in the case of rotary polishers, especially where it’s a lower-speed model used for floor maintenance tasks such as stripping sealants or heavy-duty cleaning. Which is why ergonomic design – a well-balanced machine that’s easy to control and manoeuvre – is crucial. Otherwise, the gains from going cordless made in productivity, flexibility and operator wellbeing will be negated. Any increase in weight or bulk should also be compensated for in transportability, through large wheels and convenient handles. But this tradeoff is not inevitable – the battery upright vac is still just 5kgs in weight. Cordless or corded, machine choice should always come down to return on investment. But be sure to weigh the hands-on know-how of your cleaning team, an expert supplier’s advice and a demonstration at your premises in the balance too. Tel:023 8070 6600

The key to carpet care When should you start cleaning a new carpet? Mike Egerton, managing director of Host von Schrader, has the answer
W
hen to start to clean and maintain a carpet is a question that at first seems fairly obvious but one we at Host get asked on a daily basis – our answer is immediately. Think of the new carpet as an untouched, unsoiled piece of three dimensional material that is only made dirty by human foot traffic – WPW, Where People Walk – and some limited soiling from the air. There is evidence that around 90% of soiling is by foot traffic and only 10% is aerial. Carpet is a lot of fibre and three dimensional. The minute foot traffic hits a new carpet then dirt, usually dry soil is scraped off the soles of shoes and onto the surface of the carpet. As this soil is dry gravity soon takes this soil down towards the carpet backing. Another interesting statistic is that around 85% of soil is dry and only 15% could be best described as sticky. Therefore the overwhelming amount of soil in the carpet is dry. Furthermore, most dry soil is sandy and when rubbed against carpet fibres will cause damage. The problem is that until this soil builds up and becomes visible it’s assumed that all is well. We have seen many cases where this visibility has changed the colour and structure so much that the carpet has to be replaced, prematurely, often at great expense. What a waste, when a considered vacuuming plan could have prevented this.
Create a vacuuming plan Vacuuming is crucial but what type of vacuum should be considered? Let’s nail our colours to the mast and state that in our opinion suction-only tub vacuums are no good for cleaning carpets. This is because they don’t penetrate the surface to remove the deep deposits. Although they are great surface litter pickers and are cheap they can’t compete from sheer productivity with back pack vacuums. Or for deep vacuuming effectiveness on carpet a twin motor machine that has brushing capability. It’s this brushing capability that has a pile

lifting effect that puts deeper soil into suspension making the vacuuming much more effective. Apart from regular deep vacuuming it is wise to look at prevention and everyone knows the saying that prevention is better than a cure. Barrier or entrance matting should always be considered as way stopping dry soil getting into the facility. Again, these mats need maintenance. Another regular ask is spot removal and there are many types of spot remover, general and specific to the type of spot. If the spot is tackled as soon as possible after it occurs then there’s a much greater chance of success. The most common remark from facilities managers when discussing carpets is that they don’t seem to be able to keep appearances at an acceptable standard and are having to replace carpet well ahead of schedule. This is particularly true in the case of heavy usage areas in hotels and shops, community centres and hospitals or anywhere where large amounts of daily usage means dirt and soiling of carpets is unavoidable. Carpet is a major asset but we often see this asset degrade all too quickly by poor maintenance programmes and techniques. Too many facilities adopt the rule that says, “clean when dirty”. Our experience tells us that this could be a recipe for disaster; carpet will look progressively worse unless a regular programme is instituted and from a financial viewpoint this expensive asset will not last long. The best-looking carpet is the one that’s maintained on a regular basis and the driver for the maintenance programme is foot traffic. Waiting for a carpet to look dirty before maintaining it is rather like driving a car until it breaks down before servicing it. The cost of not maintaining carpet is higher than maintaining it in terms of it looking poor in a much shorter time and also that the carpet has to be replaced earlier as it wears out and looks prematurely ugly.

The truth about hidden battery costs Just how much will your floor care battery cost you in the long term? Andrew Clarke, managing director for Juice Stored Energy, expands on significant battery related costs that are rarely considered in today’s cost conscious environment
M
ost purchasers of floor care machines just don’t consider the battery element. They are buying a tool for the job, a solution. They assume all elements are covered by the warranty, they are in the clear for a while, right? Wrong…Only battery cell defects are included under any standard warranty in the industry today.
Battery cell defects account for less than 0.09% of all warranty claims Battery manufacturers confirm that less than 1% of all warranty claims result from cell defects. Battery misuse costs, inside and outside of the warranty period, can be extremely high and have a significant impact on operating costs over the life of the machine. Some contractors simply don’t know the total cost, it ends up lumped in with equipment costs and drags the profit margin down with it. These avoidable outlays often start what we call a ‘triangle of blame’ between the OEM, the client and the battery manufacturer. One thing is for sure, someone pays along the line and it is usually the end user! It is estimated that the average abuse cost for a standard battery pack is around 25% of the original purchase price. So for a battery pack priced at
£1500 that’s over £375.00 of additional service costs because the battery has not been maintained to the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Getting the best out of your floor care equipment Just like a car it follows that regular preventative maintenance will keep your machine in top operating condition and result in less breakdowns. Sadly, the majority of lower asset value machines are not regularly maintained and batteries do not therefore get checked and topped up. Add to that opportune charging and the subsequent battery failure is classed as misuse resulting in wasted time and service charges.
There is a solution The solution is simple – cost effective battery maintenance contracts from as little as £18.00 per week. This level of service effectively ‘sweats the battery asset’, removing additional abuse costs and increasing the life of the battery from an average of 2 to 6 years dependent on specification and hours run. Each one of those years will see an average cost saving of 22% in addition to much improved health and safety factors for site personnel and the public. In our opinion, it is simply the easiest way to protect your workforce and reduce costs.
Much needed operator training
Battery misuse costs, inside and outside of the warranty period, can be extremely high and have a significant impact on operating costs over the life of the machine
We should never forget that a battery combines lead, acid and high DC voltage. Industrial batteries need regular cleaning and topping up with deionised water if health and safety risks are to be reduced. Cleaning removes any acidic residue, corrosive and conductive material from the surface of the battery pack. Corrosion can eat into connectors and bolts, causing cells to fail and current to track between the terminals and chassis of the floor care machine. A battery maintenance contract will ensure regular visits to clean and top up all batteries onsite. Additionally service personnel will provide ongoing operator training, ensuring that all staff are aware of correct charging procedures and best practice battery management. This is invaluable for a busy facility with high staff turnover.

also announcing that they will be expanding their operation throughout the UK. The first new site will be located in Banbury near Oxford, with good access to the M40, M25 and other major Motorway networks. Speaking on the new location, Kristie Wilson, Operations Director said “Since we began, we’ve been committed to providing our customers with fast and professional cleaning equipment hire solutions.

After a strong 2017, in which Clean Sweep UK firmly established themselves as the go-to company for cleaning equipment hire, 2018 shows that the Kärcher Group company has its eyes firmly set on retaining its number one position by providing exceptional cleaning equipment hire solutions. www.cleansweephire.co.uk Phone - 0808 252 4312

Evolving range SEBO says it has evolved the professional design of its Evolution range of vacuum cleaners to ensure they offer an efficient and effective service. The Evolution range comprises the Evolution 300, Evolution 350 and Evolution 450 which offer working brush widths of 30cm, 35cm and 45cm respectively. Fulfilling the requirements of the European Ecodesign Directive for vacuum cleaners, the Evolution range offers innovative features within remodeled upright vacuum cleaners.

Prochem Europe is to launch a new touchless cleaning technology for restrooms and other wet areas that also can be used on carpet and upholstery. The Chessington-based company’s CR2 Multi-Surface is a versatile ‘touch-free’ restoration system that not only does away with the need for mops and brushes, but – with the addition of a carpet wand or upholstery tool – can also be used for carpet and upholstery cleaning. The CR2 combines a pressure washer with a powerful vacuum system for areas where traditional methods of cleaning like mopping are ineffective. The machine works by breaking down loose dirt and grime from porous surfaces and hard-to-reach areas so that they can be effectively removed using the squeegee and vacuum system. The introduction in 2018 of the CR2 comes on the back of 12 months test-marketing at Prochem Europe to ascertain its potential for the UK market. Sales manager Phil Jones said: “We showcased it at the last Cleaning
Show here in the UK and the response was unequivocally positive. “Like all the best solutions, this system embodies a relatively simple technology that enables the cleaning of toilets, urinals, and restroom floors without the user getting his or her hands dirty. “There’s no need even for chemical mixing as the solutions container fits to the machine case for automatic dosing during operation.” Tel: 020 8974 1515

The sole purpose of The Preparation Group’s Burnisher 430 is to produce a high gloss, glass-like finish on vinyl, tiles, concrete and resin systems. The high-speed operation (1500rpm) glazes as it glides across the surface, producing a long-lasting shine. A drive plate is fixed to the machine which can just be lowered onto a cleaning or scrubbing pad and used with or without chemicals / water. Cost saving and environmentally friendly cleaning is achieved by using the burnisher with The Preparation Group’s doublesided Storm Diamond Pads and just water. The Burnisher 430 features a 1.6kw motor, is easy to use with simple controls and has an adjustable handle height for operator comfort. An onboard dust collection port ensures clean results when used dry and the fold down handle is ideal for transportation and storage. The machine emits a low noise level so

Team expansion reflects growth
Tailored brushes Finding top quality brushes is no easy task, especially when you need a brush that’s exactly the right size to suit a particular machine or brush shaft. That’s why Brushtec created the Zig-Zag cylinder brush, which can be used to create a custom broom to suit a variety of cleaning tasks. The pioneering design allows for complete customisation. The design uses a system of interlocking cylinder cores, which the user can slide onto a brush shaft to create the perfect broom for a particular cleaning task.

Express foam cleaner Holchem, the UK expert in hygiene technology solutions, has launched a new generation alkaline Express Foam cleaner, designed for use in open plant cleaning in food, dairy and beverage plants. Express Foam is a long cling foam product for extended contact of detergent with soiling, but is fast dispersing when rinsed; this reduces rinse time, giving faster hygiene shift turnarounds and reduced water consumption. In factory use, Express Foam breaks down under wellington boots and dissolves easily in rinse water, thus saving rinse time and rinse water. It also has a number of green credentials: • P Free – it provides an environmentally responsible approach to effluent discharge using replacements for Phosphorus derived chemical scale control agents, as well as
reduced potential for exceeding effluent discharge consents. It is also part of Holchem’s drive to remove Phosphonate scale control agents from formulations • EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) Free – Express Foam includes Glutamate chemistry with improved biodegradability and reduced health risk. Gram for gram the new chemistry is 30% more efficient at binding calcium salts than EDTA, which means lower levels of inclusion in formulations and less transportation (chemical miles) of raw materials • Improved emulsification – reduces the amount of manual padding required, using a synergic blend of flow foam surfactants to create a high level of emulsification across a wide HLB range Tel: 01706 222288
Odour-free ice machine cleaner Advanced Engineering, the manufacturer and supplier of coil cleaners and service equipment to the air conditioning and refrigeration industry, has launched a game-changing improvement to its popular ice machine cleaning product, HB-30.

If ice-making elements are not regularly cleaned, they become calcified, causing ice to build up and clog the system. This creates the perfect environment for slime to grow…which doesn’t just smell, but makes ice taste bad! Ice ‘n’ Clean clears heavy limescale and slime deposits with ease, ensuring machines produce fresh, cleantasting ice. Based on organic and mineral acids, the new formula is safe for use with all ice machines, whether nickel

With a simple change of brushes, tanks and cover, it also has the added option of transforming itself into a standard or steam Duplex 420 floor cleaning machine. The Duplex 550 Professional is the preferred alternative when a dedicated machine is required to clean a large number of escalators/travellators and has a variable solution feed so that a range of demands can be met from daily maintenance to heavy deep-cleans. Both models feature an auto guide system which perfectly aligns the machines in the escalator tread to enable safe operation. A sweeping function is performed to remove dust followed by scrubbing with a fine mist of cleaning solution meaning minimal water
usage, which is a key requirement prescribed by escalator manufacturers. The brushes have been designed to reach fully into the escalator treads where dirt and grime accumulate and both models are designed, like all Duplex machines to clean right to the edge. Contact Duplex for a free, on-site demonstration. Tel: 01227 771276

large brown stains, particularly where mats had been. Faced with replacing the floor entirely before the official store reopening, proprietor Jerry Tweney decided that a deep clean was required and the switch from manual to mechanised cleaning process was necessary to improve the cleaning result. Tweney chose the Nilfisk SC351 scrubber dryer which features intuitive controls that minimise the need for staff training plus maintenance is also fast and simple. The unit features a removable two tank system with transparent plastic lids and rubber protected handles. Tel: 01768 868995
From floor scrubber to director A TCFM employee has progressed from a floor sweeper to a contract director - Jeff Lloyd-Jones shares his experience: “In the mid-1990s I was studying at college doing a course in computer science. To earn some extra money, I started working for TC Contractors, as we were known then. I worked on a temporary, parttime basis where my main duty was operating the floor scrubber at a store near Merthyr Tydfil. “After completing my IT course, I started working full-time for a medical supplies company in an IT role. I did this job alongside my cleaning operative role. My manager at the time at TC Contractors told me that he had “seen something in me that inspired him”. “During this time, I was particularly struck by the family feel to the company. “I took the decision to come and work for TC Contractors full-time as

an in-store manager after meeting Trevor Cripps, the founder, and his son Simon in the late 1990s. Not only was the money better but the hours with early morning work was more appealing than having to cover the IT job over 24 hours. “Having started as an in-store manager I have had a number of varied and interesting roles including: area manager; project manager; regional manager; divisional controller and as contract director I am now responsible for the complete Tesco Retail account across the UK.” Tel: 01737 814016
