50 anni di torni

Fondata da Paolo Giana nel 1966, Torgim compie il prestigioso traguardo dei 50 anni di attività. Il comune di Magnago vide un grande sviluppo economico e industriale già a partire dalla seconda metà del 1800. Con il passare dei decenni il territorio s’è via via arricchito di aziende manifatturiere che hanno rappresentato delle vere eccellenze in molti settori industriali. [pag. 11]

Via libera alla finanza innovativa, quali risposte alla stretta del credito?

di Fabio Chiavieri Macerie ovunque, interi paesi rasi al suolo, gente disperata, sguardi persi. No, non è lo scenario di guerra che ci arriva da qualche zona remota del mondo, a cui siamo tristemente abituati. È la forza devastante del terremoto che ha colpito, e continua a farlo, il nostro Centro Italia. Una faglia che si è estesa per cinquanta chilometri, una ferita su quelle terre che non si potrà più rimarginare. L’Italia è scossa, fisicamente e mentalmente; schiaffeggiata dalla mano della natura che a volte sa essere molto dura nella sua inarrestabile forza. Eppure il nostro paese risulta essere nelle prime posizioni per quanto riguarda l’utilizzo di tecnologie antisismiche nelle nuove costruzioni. Cosa succede allora? Alessandro Martelli, Presidente del Glis (Isolamento sismico e altre strategie di progettazione antisismica), ha dichiarato che “Oltre il 70% dell’edificato italiano attuale non è in grado di resistere ai terremoti che potrebbero colpirlo”. Il problema pertanto è la sicurezza delle costruzioni più datate, e di un immenso patrimonio storico e culturale famoso in tutto il mondo, fatto di chiese, monumenti, palazzi storici, emblema di un passato grandioso che ha visto protagonisti i più grandi artisti e ingegneri di tutti i tempi. Il tema della sicurezza degli ambienti in cui viviamo e lavoriamo, più volte trattato dal nostro giornale e a cui le nostre imprese pongono molta attenzione, ritorna così alla ribalta in un frangente – purtroppo non l’unico negli ultimi anni - tanto eclatante quanto drammatico. Dalle pagine de L’Ammonitore abbiamo rivolto molti inviti al settore manifatturiero italiano a investire in tecnologie produttive innovative per continuare a essere competitivo, e questa volta ci sentiamo di invitare tutti a investire sulla propria sicurezza, lo Stato a salvaguardare la vita dei cittadini intervenendo significativamente sulle strutture pubbliche e sul nostro prezioso patrimonio artistico, perché il futuro non si prevede, men che meno un terremoto, ma si prepara.

iorganizzazione delle divisioni operative del Cni. E, in prospettiva, due sfide: quella dei servizi per gli iscritti e delle strutture territoriali. Armando Zambrano, presidente uscente del Consiglio nazionale degli ingegneri, si prepara a governare la categoria per altri cinque anni: dal 2016 guiderà gli ingegneri fino al 2021, quando completerà i suoi dieci anni di mandato. In attesa che arrivi l’ufficialità del ministero della Giustizia e che i consiglieri designati indichino lui come nuovo presidente, è già possibile fare il punto sulle prime mosse del nuovo Governo del Cni. “Siamo desiderosi di partire, visto che dai territori è arrivata un’indicazione così forte per la continuità del Consiglio nazionale uscente”, è stata una delle prime dichiarazioni fatte da Zambrano.

odico di informazione per ingegneri e architetti

gni campo dell’architettura e dell’ingegneria nel senso più ampio del termine ha fatto progressi, ha modificato modalità, metodologie, tecnologie, mezzi e strumenti, fatto ricerche e scoperte. Le idee sono progredite, sono mutate, si sono evolute; si sono adeguate alla società o hanno modificato modi e stili di vita. Nessuno si è mai posto il problema se fosse giusto o sbagliato; la cultura del “fare” ha privilegiato la sperimentazione e ha insegnato che dagli errori si può imparare, crescere, progredire e migliorare. Non è mai stato chiesto ai professionisti se fossero d’accordo con un “SI” o con un “NO”. È stato dato semplicemente per scontato che il cambiamento fosse insito nella natura dell’uomo e nel nostro caso dei professionisti, nella loro ricerca di miglioramento e progresso per il bene comune. Ci sono stati “si” e “no” dettati da successi e insuccessi; il buon senso e la competenza hanno sempre fatto da guida nelle scelte e quindi nell’evolversi delle professioni. Per la politica evidentemente è diverso; ma ciò dimostra solo uno scollamento fra i problemi pratici della quotidianità dell’individuo e l’incapacità della politica ad adeguarsi. Il buon senso non fa da guida; un referendum che fa contento/scontento la metà dei cittadini resta un problema non risolto. Il cambiamento è necessario e la civiltà parla da sola a tal proposito; ma il cambiamento dovrebbe godere della fiducia e della certezza di tutti i cittadini quando si parla di politica. Se tutti quanti noi quando attraversiamo un ponte o saliamo sulla cima di un grattacielo diamo per scontato di poterci fidare di chi ha pensato il progetto, forse non vuol dire che i professionisti potrebbero insegnare e dire il loro pensiero con più forza alla politica? n

Digital Transition: MAIN TRENDS operating in the cleaning industry How mature are the technologies and what are the foreseeable impacts on business activities in the short and medium term? Are all areas of companies affected and, if they are, in what way? Simone Ciapparelli

ompared to other sectors, the digital transition in cleaning and associated services has up to now made only a moderate impact, in particular because of the nature of this type of services. Mass substitution of people by autonomous machines, does not seem foreseeable in the short or probably the medium term, yet major developments are under way and are speeding up, especially in customer relations and back-office management. This article summarizes the principal tendencies at work in the sector and their level of maturity.

CONNECTED MOBILITY

The most mature digital trend in society, it describes uses and users of wireless electronic and information technologies that provide access to media and 10

digital information and enable users to modify or communicate this (by mobile phone or Internet) and to work online and offline wherever they are. In the cleaning industry, telecommunication tools facilitate and accelerate the circulation of data, and this is an essential dimension in a profession where the core activity is done externally, at the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premises, and not at company headquarters. In parallel with the generalised use of smartphones in the general population, we have seen a partial deployment of management platforms and mobile solutions that enable the optimisation of the customer relationship. Although information mobility makes it possible to increase productivity, the nature of the activity still requires the input of workers on the ground, so the nature of the activity wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t undergo a major upheaval, for now.

ONLINE PLATFORMS AND SOFTWARE PACKAGES

In the cleaning industry, the development of platforms and software promises, as in many other sectors, to optimise certain costs and to dematerialize back-office processes. Platforms offer an online communication service based on connecting several parties for the purpose of selling goods, sharing content and providing a service.The software packages are general application software with multiple functions, intended to be used for a wide range of customers (for example, HR management software). These are particularly important in view of the volumes handled in a sector, like cleaning, that is very intensive in

TRANSICIÓN DIGITAL: PRINCIPALES TENDENCIAS QUE OPERAN EN LA INDUSTRIA DE LA LIMPIEZA

manpower, and they also make it possible to facilitate the management of customer relations (CRM, for example). However, the performance and compatibility of solutions in terms of software and software packages are not sufficient at present. There is as yet no embedded software that is perfectly adapted to the profession and which makes it possible to process every aspect at the same time, but this is potentially a major lever for progress in the cleaning industry. In fact the intuition and ability of the human being to analyse, crossreference and interpret are indispensable when selecting the information that mat-

ters and optimising performance. At present there is no professional software that is able to do this.

ROBOTS

A robot is a mechatronic (a machine that links mechanics, electronics and information technology), piece of equipment designed to accomplish tasks automatically by imitating or reproducing human actions, within a precise setting (for example, autonomous vacuum cleaners or sweeper-scrubbers). They have been present for many years in the world of cleaning but are as yet little used, because of their lack of agility and of sufficient understanding of situations.

En comparación con otros sectores, la transición digital en la limpieza y los servicios asociados hasta ahora solo ha tenido un impacto moderado, en particular debido a la naturaleza de este tipo de servicios. La sustitución masiva de personas por máquinas autónomas no parece previsible en el corto o probablemente en el mediano plazo, sin embargo, se están produciendo desarrollos importantes y se están acelerando. La movilidad conectada es la tendencia digital más madura de la sociedad, describe los usos y usuarios de las tecnologías electrónicas y de información inalámbricas que proporcionan acceso a los medios y la información digital y permiten a los usuarios modificar o comunicar esto (por teléfono móvil o Internet) y trabajar en línea y sin conexión, donde sea que estén. En la industria de la limpieza, el desarrollo de plataformas y software promete, como en muchos otros sectores, optimizar ciertos costos y desmaterializar los procesos administrativos. Las plataformas ofrecen un servicio de comunicación en línea basado en la conexión de varias partes con el fin de vender productos, compartir contenido y proporcionar un servicio. Los robots han estado presentes durante muchos años en el mundo de la limpieza, pero todavía son poco utilizados, debido a su falta de agilidad y a una comprensión suficiente de las situaciones. La limpieza de superficies solo se puede hacer automáticamente en sectores específicos, en ciertas situaciones precisas, que involucran grandes superficies completamente despejadas. El Internet Of Things es la extensión de Internet a cosas o lugares en el mundo físico. Hoy no es la tendencia más madura, pero sin duda es la que tiene el mayor potencial “disruptivo”. En resumen, el grado de madurez de las tendencias digitales en la industria de la limpieza en general no es muy alto en comparación con otras actividades, pero algunos se afirman cada vez más (movilidad conectada, plataformas y software, robótica). El IoT y los datos son menos maduros, pero con la aparición de edificios conectados, se puede considerar que tienen el mayor potencial de interrupción para las empresas de limpieza.

TE CH N OLOGY

Cleaning surfaces can only be done automatically in specific sectors, in certain precise situations, involving large completely clear surfaces (warehouses, logistics platforms, etc.), as obstacles or unexpected factors will stop these machines working.The human ability to interpret situations and their precision are still necessary for complex cleaning, for example corners. However, robotics is likely to play a potentially increasing role in cleaning. Rather than a mere substitution of man by machine, one may expect the development of a logic of cobotics (the collaboration of people and robots), with technology representing a lever to ‘enhance’ human abilities and offer the prospect of reducing professional constraints and improving the quality of life at work.

THE VIRTUOUS CIRCLE OF A SUCCESSFUL DIGITAL TRANSITION IN THE CLEANING INDUSTRY

IOT AND CONNECTED BUILDINGS

The Internet of Things is the extension of the Internet to things or places in the physical world. It is not the most mature trend today, but is doubtless the one with the greatest ‘disruptive’ potential for the production model of cleaning companies. Intelligent buildings may eventually make it possible to develop increasingly bespoke cleaning services, rationalised to be as close as possible to the real requirements of users. This aspect is even more important within the context of the increasing nomadism in activities (teleworking, co-working spaces, virtual meetings). Connected buildings are still in their infancy, which is by its nature gradual, as it is much easier to achieve in new buildings than in old. With the multiplication of sensors installed in buildings and offices that can accurately measure the uses and requirements of cleaning services in real time and over long periods, the question of data ownership and the ability to utilise it, quantitatively and qualitatively, will be a major issue for the sector. Because of its presence on sites and its knowledge of usages and ways of working, the cleaning company 12

| march/2020

can position itself as a source of proposals and advice on data management, as long as it knows how to collect and process information efficiently.

CONTACT WITHOUT INTERMEDIARIES

‘Uberisation’ is the phenomenon which consists in using services that allow professionals and clients to contact each other directly, in an almost instant manner, thanks to the use of new technologies. Up to now the cleaning industry has not really been affected by this phenomenon,as the contact platforms are particularly suited to anonymous one-off services with no long-term contractual commitment (transport from one point to another, sale of a product…). The continuous and recurrent nature of cleaning services and the fact that they are carried out at the client’s premises has slowed the development of these platforms for cleaning services. However, the growth

in mobility and the increased fluidity of location use may in the long term, considerably modify the way cleaning services are ordered, and make the use of these contact platforms more relevant to the client.

VIRTUAL REALITY

Virtual reality is reality simulated by computer. At the moment it only impacts the margins of the cleaning industry, in the training of some managers and directors and by some experiments in the area of quality control.

DIGITAL TRANSITION IMPACTS DIFFERENTLY ACCORDING TO THE SIZE OF THE COMPANY

Generally speaking, the larger the company, the greater is the impact on its various functions in the short and medium terms. Intermediate companies and large groups have already begun their digital

transition and must now anticipate the impact on their business models, whereas the very small companies often lack the tools and resources to make any greater commitment to the digital transition. The self-employed and companies with only one employee at most remain overall the furthest removed from this transition. In the short term the potential and observed effects of the digital transition are greatest in the management of the client relationship and in managing cross-cutting functions. In the medium term, the business will mainly be impacted by the development of connected buildings and the IoT, which will principally affect large accounts and intermediate companies, reducing professional constraints and improving the quality of life at work. Optimising of costs and activities with the improvement of solutions have already now a high impact on companies, and so will be also in the future. In a sector which is still based on the human being, digital acculturation and the appropriation of the issues of digital transition, especially in very small companies/SMEs, occur in a gradual and uneven way. The risk for companies in the sector which do not commit to a dynamic of evolutionary change and of adopting new tools will be that of downward differentiation and a return to an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;outof-dateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and poorly regarded image for the profession. That would result in ever lower prices, and even, with the development of robots and autonomous digital solutions, in the clients being tempted to insource the business. Training and support for managers in the digital transformation of their company is a major issue in fully grasping the opportunities offered by these evolutions, and thus enabling the whole sector to progress. Alongside the evolution of requirements in professions and skills, companies should be prepared for the potential impact of, in particular, the use of the intelligent building park of the future. Soft skills and digital skills will be essential keys for the successful transition from a routine industrial approach to a vision of B to B to C user services focussed on the end client.

TO SUM UP

The degree of maturity of digital trends in the cleaning industry is in general not very high compared to other activities, but some are increasingly asserting themselves (connected mobility, platforms and software, robotics). The IoT and data are less mature but with the emergence of connected buildings they may be considered as having the greatest potential for disruption for cleaning companies. Contact platforms with no intermediaries and virtual reality do not really have any impact on the sector as yet but may emerge in the medium term.

The automatization and robotization of administrative tasks and of the simplest jobs makes it possible to focus activity on the tasks with greater added value, and to develop the client relationships while management platforms and mobile solutions, together with the IoT and data, are levers to promote the optimisation of the business by only cleaning where it is necessary, and when it is necessary. The appearance of new

professions in the cleaning sector (data officer/director of digital strategy) and improved management of planning (centralised and in real time) may permit a new economic model with cleaning services that are closer to the real needs of users and the development of new services with high added value.

MARKET

The best value in PROCUREMENT procedures In procurement procedures, quality and social aspects need to be included and measured. If these two elements are not taken into account, unfair competition between companies and the social dumping of employees may happen very often Cristina Cardinali

hile the quality of cleaning services is determined by technical merit and professional ability, social aspects include compliance with collective agreements and good working conditions. Awarding contracts exclusively on the basis of prices and costs will automatically lead to quality problems and incorrect practices. The concept of “best value” aims to define a system on the basis of which the various elements regarding the quality of the service are classified and weighted with respect to the price, in order to evaluate the offer that best meets the specific preferences and needs of the client and therefore represents the most economically advantageous offer. The cleaning services industry has experienced great growth in recent years, the expectations of clients have increased and European legislation on public procurement has changed. Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain are the five largest national markets. Together, they represent around 72% of the total European turnover. The relative importance of the Dutch, Swedish and Danish markets confirms an orga-

| march/2020

nic growth, in recent years, essentially due to outsourcing. Market penetration is defined as the share of global cleaning services contracted out to specialized companies in the sector; the difference is given by the internal cleaning services. Market penetration by cleaning service con-

tractors has grown steadily in recent years, up to around 65%. Furthermore, this figure shows that around 35% of cleaning services are still carried out internally. The European Union has developed a comprehensive legislative framework on public procurement. The main

legal instrument is the EU Public Procurement Directive (2014/24 / EU). Since April 2016, EU Member States must apply EU rules adopted in 2014 in the area of public procurement. It is important to note that the European Commission is also developing horizontal guidelines for the application of public procurement legislation. For example, the specific document intended for public authorities, entitled “Buying Social: A Guide to Taking Account of Social Considerations in Public Procurement” it is particularly relevant for the cleaning services industry.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF CLEANING SERVICE CONTRACTS

While in the past most contracts were “activity based”, today there is a tendency to use more flexible forms of “results based” and “mixed” contracts. Therefore, the client must elaborate his call for tender in a very different way than in the past, thinking of the cleaning service companies as real partners. Outsourcing cleaning services has become the rule in the last decade, however, it is the client, both public and private, who remains responsible for the cleanliness and hygiene of its facilities. Therefore, the client must be able to identify external contractors able to offer a service that meets the expectations of users and visitors of these structures. Cleaning companies are increasingly becoming structures management companies and therefore the client can evaluate the possibility of opting for a company capable of representing a “one-stop shop” for various types of services. Similarly, multinationals opt for a single interlocutor across the EU. In this case, it may be a single company or a network of cleaning services companies. A choice that satisfies clients intending to receive the same level of quality and to negotiate a unique set of conditions across the EU.

In absolute terms, the cleaning services industry is still largely dominated by very small companies: about 77% of these companies employ less than 10 people. On the other hand, only 1.39% of companies employ more than 500 people, making almost half of the sector’s turnover. In the past, cleaning services were mainly provided at offices, but over time, companies in the sector have also been entrusted with the cleaning services of highly specialized sites such as hospitals, food and high-tech industry structures. Part-time work remains the most widespread form of employment in the sector and affects 66% of the workforce. The figure is, however, in slight and constant decline since 2001; this indicates a consequent increase in full-time job opportunities. The average working time in the cleaning services sector is 23 hours per week; a slight increase compared to the 19 weekly hours in 2001. Finally, women represent 73% of the total number of employees in the sector.

WHY CHOOSE THE BEST VALUE

The concept of “best value” aims to define a system on the basis of which the various elements regarding the quality of the service are classified and weighted with respect to the price, in order to evaluate the offer that best meets the specific preferences and needs of the client, and which represents, therefore, the most economically advantageous offer. In principle, it is clear why a client chooses the best possible professional services to guarantee the hygiene and cleanliness of its structures. Professional and quality cleaning services allow the client not only to fulfill the legal obligations regarding the health, safety and hygiene of the structures, but also to preserve the structures in order to minimize the relative maintenance, such as painting. They also provide a high-level service

EL MEJOR VALOR EN LOS PROCEDIMIENTOS DE ADQUISICIÓN En los procedimientos de adquisición, la calidad y los aspectos sociales deben ser incluidos y medidos. Si no se tienen en cuenta estos dos elementos, la competencia desleal entre empresas y el despido social de los empleados corren el riesgo de convertirse en la regla. La adjudicación de contratos exclusivamente sobre la base de precios y costos automáticamente conducirá a problemas de calidad y prácticas incorrectas. El concepto de “mejor valor” tiene como objetivo definir un sistema en base al cual los diversos elementos relacionados con la calidad del servicio se clasifican y ponderan con respecto al precio. La industria de los servicios de limpieza ha experimentado un gran crecimiento en los últimos años, las expectativas de los clientes han aumentado y la legislación europea sobre contratación pública ha cambiado. Alemania, Francia, Reino Unido, Italia y España son los cinco mercados nacionales más grandes. Juntos, representan alrededor del 72% de la facturación europea total. La calidad de los servicios de limpieza depende principalmente de tres factores: personal, administración y equipo. El cliente debe identificar los criterios de calidad correctos con respecto a los servicios de limpieza en la selección y adjudicación de contratos a las empresas de limpieza. Un procedimiento de adquisición correcto le permite al cliente evaluar primero sus prioridades y, posteriormente, seleccionar al operador económico que no solo ofrece un precio competitivo sino que también demuestra habilidades y capacidad para proporcionar un servicio que satisfaga las necesidades del cliente. Después de adquirir toda la información posible, el cliente debe desarrollar un documento único y consistente para cada oferta vinculada al objetivo y al objeto específico del contrato. El documento debe incluir todos los criterios de selección relevantes. Hay muchos elementos importantes que el cliente debe incluir en la licitación para que los operadores económicos puedan presentar ofertas completas y conscientes. Es esencial tener en cuenta que la empresa de limpieza es un socio valioso que debe trabajar en igualdad de condiciones con el cliente. Después de definir la naturaleza y las necesidades de las estructuras, es importante incluirlas con precisión en la licitación, para que los operadores económicos puedan predecir el alcance de los servicios solicitados.

MARKET

to users and visitors. Quality cleaning services allow the customer to also guarantee aesthetics that match the services offered. Furthermore, working with professional and universally appreciated cleaning companies contributes to the positive reputation of the client. However, cost-cutting measures, overly permissive laws and a lack of knowledge of the negative consequences of low-level cleaning services often lead to price-based decisions. Choosing the lowest offer rather than the best value has two types of consequences: unfair competition between entrepreneurs and, at the same time, developing adverse conditions for employees, as economic operators with the lowest costs may not comply with the legislation on wages, nor fulfill the obligations relating to the payment of taxes or social security contributions. For example, since the wage costs of the sector affect between 85% and 90% of turnover, a price reduction quickly translates into enormous pressure on employment conditions. This, in turn, leads to a lack of quality, having to cut staff and cleaning infrastructure to save costs. This could even 16

have more serious implications, such as the implementation of unethical or illegal practices. In this context, it is worth noting that in some countries the customer may be jointly and liable with the cleaning company in the event of illegal practices implemented by the latter.

client who intends to apply one (or all) of the quality criteria defined below is required to highlight them in the general selection and assignment criteria within the calls for tenders. Understanding real costs: calculating costs in accordance with the various criteria relating to the needs of the structures can encourage more informed choices. Cleaning staff: the skills of the field workers, in addition to their skills and motivations, are very important, as they affect everyday work performance. The working environment and employment conditions must, in fact, encourage motivation at work. Contract management and operational planning: the operational planning and its implementation by the management team allow the work to be carried out to the highest possible quality standards and to prevent possible shortcomings. Contract infrastructure: includes the equipment and products used by the economic operator, in addition to the training that the economic operator offers staff for the correct use of this infrastructure.

APPLY A CORRECT PROCUREMENT PROCEDURE

Quality of cleaning services

The quality of cleaning services depends mainly on three factors: staff, management and equipment. The client must identify the correct quality criteria regarding cleaning services in the selection and awarding of contracts to cleaning companies. The

A correct procurement procedure allows the client to first evaluate his priorities and then select the economic operator who not only offers a competitive price but who also demonstrates skills and ability to provide a service that meets the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs based on the MEAT criteria (most economically advantageous tender). The procurement procedure is expensive for both the client and the economic operators. It is therefore important to define a correct procedure in order to guarantee the best value in cleaning services. The client must rely on the competence of a cleaning service company to prepare a correct tender, as well as to evaluate, award and monitor the contract, or rely on external consultants. The expertise of a company in the sector can be sup-

CHOICE BASED ON THE PRICE: RISKS

■■ Unethical or illegal competition between entrepreneurs ■■ Job lossInadequate employee compensation ■■ Failure to comply with tax and social security regulations ■■ Quality deficiencies in cleaning services and their results at the facilities ■■ Reduction of investments aimed at improving technical and human resources ■■ Accelerated deterioration of structures ■■ Deterioration of the client’s image and asset ■■ Negative image for clients and the sector

CHOICE BASED ON THE BEST VALUE: ADVANTAGES

■■ Total fulfillment of the contract ■■ Guarantee of hygiene and cleanliness of the structures ■■ Total compliance with the legislation ■■ Minimization of future maintenance needs ■■ High-level services for users and visitors ■■ Level playing field within the market ■■ Positive image for clients and the sector

plemented by expert consultants in the field of tenders. The client can carry out a market consultation to investigate the types of companies capable of providing the requested services. Market consultation may include visiting companies (as this offers a good impression of the corporate culture), inviting operators or organizing an information session. After acquiring all the possible information, the client must develop a single and consistent document for each offer linked to the objective and specific object of the contract. The document must include all relevant selection criteria. There are many important elements that the client must include in the call for tenders so that economic operators can present complete and aware offers. It is essential to keep in

mind that the cleaning company is a valuable partner who must work on an equal footing with the client. After defining the nature and needs of the structures, it is important to include them precisely in the invitation to tender, so that economic operators can predict the scope of the services requested. The most important aspect is to decide which type of contract is appropriate. Therefore, the call for tenders must specify whether the client prefers a contract based on the activities, results or mixed type and the minimum number of hours required on the basis of the criteria defined above. The invitation to tender must specify how long the economic operator will have to provide the requested services and must include transparent quality requirements. The client’s preferences regarding the three aspects must also be specified: personnel, management and infrastructure. The client must ask the economic operator how he intends to meet these requirements, so that quality-oriented operators can be specific in their offer. The client may include, in the contract notice, case studies that it has already encountered or that may arise. In this way, companies that rely on

quality have the opportunity to offer their expertise and the client receives offers tailored to their specific needs. The client can also choose to test one or more economic operators. In this way, candidate operators can show in practice how they plan to perform the service.

PRODUCTIVITY AND TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS

With the availability of new machinery for cleaning activities and the coordination of services, and with the greater investments made by companies in terms of training, the productivity of the sector has improved. Today the client can also opt for companies that use efficient machinery. For example, in some countries, cleaners are equipped with related equipment that directly informs the coordination group about the time taken to clean a specific part of the facilities.

SAFETY

PROTECTIVE measures and risk prevention Knowledge of places and work procedures, as well as compliance with regulatory obligations, are essential for prevention Cristina Cardinali

he cleaning services sector is characterized by intense work rates and activities often carried out in limited spaces, with not always sufficient attention towards prevention measures, from risk assessment, to participatory training of workers up to the use of protective devices, all aspects that contribute to compromise the safety of the operators involved. Occupational safety is to be understood as an “integrated system”, in which every means and every information - and the dissemination of the same - must be adopted to protect the safety of the worker. When situations arise which in themselves do not guarantee adequate safety, it is necessary to choose equipment that can guarantee safe working conditions: collective protection measures are given priority over individual protection measures, if they are insufficient, the obligation to resort to personal protective equipment takes over.

| march/2020

PPE By personal protective equipment (PPE) we mean any equipment intended to be worn and kept by the worker to protect him against the risks present in the work activity, likely to threaten his safety or health during work, as well as any accessory intended for this purpose. On the other hand, ordinary work clothes and uniforms not specifically intended to protect the safety and health of the worker are not personal protective equipment. PPEs play a fundamental role in the prevention of accidents and must be used appropriately, since they represent the last protective bulwark with respect to the residual risk, after the application of collective protection systems. They are necessary to avoid or reduce damage resulting from accidental events or to protect the operator from the action of harmful agents present in the work activity.

Personal protective equipment must: ■■ comply with the rules laid down in Legislative Decree 4 December 1992 n. 475; have the required certifications and CE marking; ■■ be accompanied by clear instructions for use in Italian; ■■ be adequate to the risks to be prevented, without involving in itself a greater risk; ■■ be adapted to the conditions existing in the workplace; ■■ take into account the ergonomic or health needs of the worker; ■■ can be adapted to the user according to his needs.

MEDIDAS DE PROTECCIÓN Y PREVENCIÓN DE RIESGOS

CHOOSE THE PPE

Speaking of personal protective equipment, there are some considerations to be made: they cannot guarantee total safety, they somewhat limit mobility, visibility and, often, they can also, perhaps because of their weight, cause fatigue. It is therefore crucial to choose a device that has the requirements to minimize inconvenience and offer adequate protection.

Hand protection Professional disposable gloves are made of different materials

to meet both the different needs of the operator and the different types of work. They have different characteristics and prices, therefore a cost-benefit evaluation is appropriate.The lowest cost is that of the lubricated natural latex glove, then the powder-free natural latex glove and then nitrile. The powder-free natural rubber latex glove, which is a glove of medical origin, with low protein content, or low in allergens due to the halogenation process to which it is subjected, is recommended for subjects sensitive to irritation, in

El sector de los servicios de limpieza se caracteriza por intensas tasas de trabajo y actividades que a menudo se llevan a cabo en espacios limitados, sin que siempre se preste suficiente atención a las medidas de prevención. Equipo de protección personal (EPP) significa cualquier equipo destinado a ser usado y sostenido por el trabajador para protegerlo contra los riesgos presentes en la actividad laboral. Deben cumplir con las normas establecidas en el Decreto Legislativo 4 de diciembre de 1992 n. 475; tener las certificaciones requeridas y el marcado CE; Es crucial elegir un dispositivo que tenga los requisitos para minimizar las molestias y ofrecer una protección adecuada. Protección de las manos: en el sector de la limpieza industrial, el guante reutilizable de látex de caucho natural con doble inmersión y acolchado en el interior se caracteriza por una gran comodidad. Protección respiratoria: Máscaras desechables y reutilizables. La introducción de la válvula de exhalación en los respiradores desechables conduce a un aumento en la comodidad del usuario. Ropa de trabajo desechable Particularmente adecuados para su uso en la limpieza industrial son las prendas desechables diseñadas y creadas para proteger contra productos químicos. Para protección general, todo el traje, la bata o la chaqueta rota están disponibles. los pantalones. Para una protección aún mayor, en presencia de polvo ultrafino peligroso o contra salpicaduras o ácidos, están disponibles overoles con cremallera central cubierta, capucha y elásticos. Lavarse las manos con jabón es una de las medidas más efectivas y menos costosas para prevenir enfermedades infecciosas transmisibles. Tener las manos limpias significa limitar la propagación de microorganismos patógenos, como virus y bacterias. En el caso de la lavandería, el riesgo está representado por la exposición a agentes infecciosos involucrados relacionados con el manejo de la ropa en las salas de servicio. La ropa contaminada va lo menos posible. Una de las formas correctas de gestionar el riesgo es colocar la ropa en bolsas que se pueden colocar directamente en las lavadoras.

SAFETY

situations of work in which the presence of lubricating powder is problematic or not recommended. The glove is characterized by excellent tactile sensitivity and is very comfortable, as the uniformity of the thickness on the fingers and the external microrough surface allow safe handling in a wet environment. In the industrial cleaning sector, among the different types of gloves, the reusable glove made of natural rubber latex with double immersion and internally plush is characterized by the high comfort given by the internal fleece, and the high resistance to detergents, due to the double layer of natural rubber latex. The double layer of latex also confers good thermal insulation from cold sources and good wear resistance. The external honeycomb finish in relief allows an excellent grip.

Respiratory protection As part of the defense against dust, mists, fumes, gases and vapors, the protection of the respiratory tract includes versions of disposable and reusable masks. Correct adhesion reduces the probability of leakage inwards, while the introduction into the disposable respirators of the exhalation valve leads to a reduction in respiratory resistance and an increase in user comfort (reduction of heat, humidity and CO2 exhaled).

Disposable workwear Particularly suitable for use in industrial cleaning are non-woven clothing, 20

| march/2020

disposable clothing designed and created to protect against chemicals. For general protection, the whole suit, the gown or the jacket with pants are available. For even greater protection, in the presence of dangerous ultra-fine dust or against splashes or acids, coveralls with a covered central zip, hood and elasticated waist, wrists and ankles are available, which guarantee a hermetic seal. The external polymeric coating with a special protective film can be different, depending on the needs and the type of use.

BREAK DOWN MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION

Washing hands with soap is one of the most effective and least expensive measures to prevent communicable infectious diseases. Having your hands clean means limiting the spread of pathogenic microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria. The hands are a receptacle for germs, of which 20% are non-pathogenic microorganisms, which normally reside on the skin without causing damage. But to these germs can be added viruses and bacteria that are in the air or with which one comes in contact by touching the different surfaces. Finding a favorable environment, germs nest and proliferate and can be transmitted from one subject to another.

Main hand washing techniques Hand hygiene can be done in different ways and using different products depending on the task that needs to be performed.

The main techniques that concern anyone who is in contact with a patient are: 1. Social or hygienic washing: it aims to eliminate visible dirt and remove pathogenic germs, with the help of water and detergent soap, possibly liquid. It is necessary to wash your hands when they are visibly dirty (with blood or other biological liquids), after using the toilet, before handling drugs and before preparing or serving food. Social washing must last from 40 to 60 seconds. For correct execution it is necessary: ■■ turn on the tap with your hand, elbow or foot ■■ evenly wet your hands and wrists with warm water

WASHING HANDS WITH SOAP IS ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE MEASURES TO PREVENT COMMUNICABLE INFECTIOUS DISEASES

■■ apply a dose of soap to the palm of your hand and lather your hands and wrists evenly with liquid detergent soap in a dispenser ■■ after soaping your hands for at least 15 seconds, rinse thoroughly ■■ dry with disposable cloth or paper towels until the residual moisture is eliminated ■■ close the water tap with your elbow, or if it is manual with a flap of the towel. 2. Antiseptic washing: It has the purpose of eliminating pathogenic germs present on the hands, through the use of water and detergents containing an antiseptic agent; the most used are chlorhexidine gluconate, triclosan iodophores.

This type of washing is also suitable before handling drugs or preparing food and must last from 40 to 60 seconds. For correct execution it is necessary: ■■ turn on the tap with your hand, elbow or foot; ■■ evenly wet your hands and wrists with warm water; ■■ rub the wrists, interdigital spaces and palms of both hands vigorously for 15-30 seconds with antiseptic soap; ■■ rinse thoroughly with running water; ■■ dry your fingers first and then your wrists with disposable cloths or paper towels; ■■ close the water tap with the elbow, or if it is manual with a flap of the towel used.

3. Alcoholic friction: it has the purpose of eliminating the transient flora and reducing the resident microbial load, through the use of 60-80% alcohol solutions, associated with emollient and humidifying substances, capable of protecting the skin of the hands. The products can be in gel, liquid or foam and must not be used on damaged skin or wounds and in the presence of flames. To perform the alcoholic friction you don’t need water, a sink or paper to dry your hands. The friction is indicated before and after direct contact with the patient, after the removal of non-sterile gloves, after contact with liquids and body secretions, mucous membranes or non-intact skin or in the case of wound dressing, when, assisting the patient himself , it passes from a contaminated body site to a clean one, after contact with objects in the immediate vicinity of the patient. The clutch must last 30-60 seconds in total, until completely dry. As an alternative to friction with hydroalcoholic solution, you can wash your hands with water and antiseptic soap. However, the simultaneous use of alcohol-based clutches and antiseptic soap should be avoided.

SAFETY

4. Surgical washing: has the purpose of removing dirt and transient flora from nails, hands and forearms; minimizing the resident flora, and inhibiting the rapid growth of microorganisms. The correct execution of this procedure must be applied by the whole team before surgery. For correct execution it is necessary to: ■■ adjust the water temperature so that it is 37 ° C, since at lower temperatures there would be a constriction vessel and a narrowing of the pores which would prevent the penetration of the antiseptic, while higher temperatures could cause skin irritation as well as the passage of germs residing deep into the surface; ■■ Wet hands and forearms evenly up to two fingers above the crease of the elbows; ■■ keep your hands higher than your elbows; ■■ evenly distribute 5 ml of antiseptic solution, pressing the dispenser lever with the elbow or using the disposable sponge; ■■ rub each side of each finger thoroughly for 2 minutes, between the fingers, palm and back of both hands; ■■ wash each side of the arm from wrist to elbow for 1 minute; ■■ rinse for 1 minute before the hands and after the forearms, taking care to keep the hands above the level of the elbows to prevent water from the forearms running on the hands; ■■ rinse hands and forearms by passing them under the jet of water in one direction only, from the fingertips to the elbows; ■■ do not move your arms back and forth under the water; ■■ dry your hands and forearms, dabbing and not rubbing, with a sterile cloth: each finger must be dried first, then the remaining part of the hand, and lastly the forearm up to the bend of the elbow with a circular movement, taking care not to brush over the forearm in hand. 22

| march/2020

In case of accidental contact with non-sterile surfaces or objects during hand washing, it is essential to repeat the procedure from the beginning, extending the washing of the contaminated part by 1 minute. The antiseptic dispensers must be wall-mounted and equipped with a special lever for elbow operation; when empty, if reusable, they must be washed and dried before the next filling, if possible also sterilized. Last recommendation: the use of gloves does not replace hand washing. The contaminated gloves used by operators can, in fact, become an important and often overlooked vehicle for spreading microorganisms in the environment.

LAUNDRY: OTHER TYPES OF RISK

Another potential risk factor for the safety of the cleaning operator concerns the laundry theme: in this case, the risk is represented by exposure to potentially infectious agents due to the handling of linen in the service rooms. Contaminated linen must be moved

as little as possible, must not be ordered or rinsed at the place of use, and must be transported to the laundry room for decontamination in labeled or color-coded bags or containers. One of the correct ways to manage risk is to place laundry in bags that can be placed directly in washing machines, without having to unload or remove contaminated laundry. In any case, using the necessary precautions in the management of dirty laundry (alternative labeling or color code) is sufficient, provided that all employees are aware of the procedure and therefore recognize the containers. To avoid the risk of injury from objects improperly left in the midst of the linen to be treated, the bags containing the contaminated material must not be kept close to the body or crushed during transport. Finally, we must not forget the physical stresses that can occur when washing and transporting wet laundry, which is very heavy: for this reason, the use of mechanical devices to lift and transfer materials is recommended.

Endurance Manageability Wheels, mounted on ball bearings, are suitable for more challenging paths.

Surface HYGIENE Viruses can be deposited almost everywhere, even in places that perhaps we do not imagine could hide infectious dangers, but simple hygiene measures are enough to destroy pathogens. Cristina Cardinali

umerous studies have shown that viruses can survive for hours deposited on surfaces and objects, ready to be “collected” by careless hands and transported by them to the entrance doors of our organism: mouth, nose and eyes. So pay attention to door handles, switches, floors, glass, bathroom or kitchen surfaces, such as sinks, but also to clothes. They can survive for a few hours (generally from 2 to 8 hours, but sometimes even much longer) and to prevent their

| march/2020

spreading, it is important to get used to thoroughly and regularly cleaning all surfaces at risk: after disinfection, all surfaces return free of viruses.

HOW LONG THE NOVEL CORONAVIRUS LASTS ON SURFACES

Recent publications explain the permanence of the Covid-19 virus on surfaces. In particular, from a study by the National Institutes of Health virology laboratory in Hamilton (Montana, USA), it appears that coronavirus can remain on surfaces for days. Among seven

different surfaces analyzed, it emerges that the virus can resist about 24 hours on cardboard and up to 3 days on plastic or metal surfaces. Pending definitive scientific evidence, scientists simply report data that shows how coronavirus “resists” longer on some surfaces than others, such as copper, from where it disappears in four hours. It then appears that the virus manages to stay alive for 9 days on the asphalt, but with a low viral load. Dirt grease, even that found on the street, creates the ideal environment for viruses, including the new coronavirus. However, it

ITALIAN SANIFICATION

The first machine exported to China for sanitizing environments by coronavirus is Italian. Idrobase Group, a company based in Borgoricco, in the province of Padua and also a production unit in Ningbo, in the province of Zhejiang, announces that the Far East plant has reopened thanks to a certified Italian innovation which, by applying a technology used in American aerospace stations has created a surface sanitization unit capable of eliminating, in the first 90 minutes of use, 95% of the viruses present in the environment. The innovative machinery does not just purify the air, which passes through the catalyst, but spreads a dense network of molecules (ROS - Reactive Oxygen Species), which sanitize all surfaces and the environment. In particular, through a new technology (AHMPP), a blanket of oxidants is produced which, thanks to the action of light and humidity in the air, activates the decomposition of harmful organic and inorganic substances, preserving only oxygen and hydrogen. The most common photocatalyst is titanium dioxide (natural titanium oxide), harmless to health, but with high efficiency and non-toxicity. This technology is also “green”, because it allows a strong energy saving, by not using high efficiency filters.

is very unlikely that infected droplets of someone who coughed or sneezed on the street can infect a person, and its unlikely that a person touches the soles of his shoes with hands. It is easier for such a situation to occur with surfaces such as handles, public transport holds or elevator buttons.

WHAT ELIMINATES VIRUSES FROM SURFACES?

In general, viruses are eliminated from heat (75-100°C) and many chemical germicides, including chlorine (hypochlorite solutions), hydrogen peroxide

HIGIENE DE LA SUPERFICIE

(hydrogen peroxide), common detergents (soap) and antiseptics to iodine and alcohol base, provided that they are used in the appropriate concentration and left to act for a sufficient period of time. For coronavirus, current surface decontamination measures include disinfection with ethyl alcohol (62-71% ethanol), hydrogen peroxide (0.5% hydrogen peroxide) or bleach (0.1% sodium hypochlorite). Street disinfection is almost useless to the war against Covid-19, says the director of the Infectious Diseases Department of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità Giovanni Rezza, who reiterates once again that the main route of infection remains the respiratory one and not from contaminated surfaces and underlines the fundamental role of careful hand hygiene to neutralize viruses.

Los virus se pueden depositar en casi todas partes, pero las medidas de higiene simples son suficientes para destruir los patógenos. Numerosos estudios han demostrado que los virus pueden sobrevivir durante horas depositados en superficies y objetos, así que preste atención a las manijas de las puertas, interruptores, pisos, pero también a la ropa. Pueden sobrevivir unas pocas horas (generalmente de 2 a 8 horas, pero a veces incluso mucho más) y para evitar su propagación, es importante acostumbrarse a limpiar a fondo todas las superficies en riesgo. Un estudio realizado por el laboratorio de virología de los Institutos Nacionales de Salud en Hamilton, EE. UU., Muestra que el virus puede durar aproximadamente 24 horas en cartón y hasta 3 días en superficies de plástico o metal. En espera de evidencia científica definitiva, los científicos simplemente informan datos que muestran cómo el coronavirus “resiste” más tiempo en algunas superficies que en otras. Luego parece que el virus logra mantenerse vivo durante 9 días en el asfalto, pero con una baja carga viral. Sin embargo, es muy poco probable que sea poco probable que las gotitas infectadas de alguien que tosió o estornudaron en la calle y luego tocaran las suelas de sus zapatos con las manos. En general, los virus se eliminan del calor (75-100°C) y muchos germicidas químicos, incluidos el cloro, el peróxido de hidrógeno, los detergentes comunes (jabón) y los antisépticos a base de yodo y alcohol. Para el coronavirus, las medidas actuales de descontaminación de la superficie incluyen la desinfección con alcohol etílico (62-71% de etanol), peróxido de hidrógeno (0.5% de peróxido de hidrógeno) o lejía (0.1% de hipoclorito de sodio). La desinfección de la calle es casi inútil en la guerra contra Covid-19, dice el director del Departamento de Enfermedades Infecciosas del Istituto Superiore di Sanità Giovanni Rezza, quien reitera una vez más que la principal vía de infección sigue siendo la respiratoria.

Scented diffusers for large HOTELS Innovative solutions and state-of-the-art technologies must move hand in hand with everchanging regulatory needs and claims for ecosustainability and respect for the environment that are increasingly in demand Luca Ilorini

erfuming large hotels has always represented an important business opportunity and at the same time a fascinating challenge for players in the sector, looking for solutions that can meet the needs of increasingly demanding end customers. Within a structure such as a resort or hotel, there are numerous rooms and environments to be perfumed, each with its own peculiarities, and for each of the environments it is necessary to search for the most suitable solutions to perfume them, giving sensations that can be connected to hygiene concepts, cleansing and wellbeing depending on whether it is a kitchen, a bedroom or the hotel spa: stick perfumers, latest lampes bergers, perfume sprays and candles with attractive packaging and design: perfuming hotels represents a market of great interest to many players in the cleaning sector, especially in the industrial sector, where the derivation to this luxury and premium sector can represent an interesting trickle down opportunity. 26

| march/2020

MOST REQUESTED PERFUMES: TREND AND FASHION

Relaxed atmospheres, comfortable environments and a total feeling of relaxation are among the most sought after characteristics of a fragrance in a room diffuser in the hotel channel: the main trend of the moment in this sector, which represents the union of the characteristics mentioned above, is the hygge trend. Hygge is a Danish noun used to indicate an atmosphere of relaxation and calm, a hotel room furnished in a comfortable and harmonious way that allows you to leave anxieties and worries outside the door: hypnotic perfumes where warm and caressing notes dominate white woods combined with the delicacy and caring feeling typical of white musks: numerous players in the sector have already decided to successfully ride this claim to obtain unique fragrances, often combined with premium packaging,that are elegant and exclusively linked to the black and white colors. In addition to the trend from northern Europe, floral fragrances dominate,

capable of giving pleasant olfactory emotions to hotel guests, leaving aside the more aggressive and ‘sickening’ notes as gourmand and spicy fragrances can often be with citrus hints. As in the case of the orange and cinnamon or pepper and bergamot accord, they are elegant perfumes without a doubt, but hardly compatible with the need to rest and relax in a hotel.

SCENTED SPRAYS: HYGIENE AND CONTRAST TO SMOKE SMELL

In addition to the room diffusers, another important category of products is represented by room sprays which, in addition to the classic trigger format, have recently joined a format more similar to the classic eau de toilette bottle, also suitable for travel situations. Many large hotel chains have decided to combine the trigger spray fragrance with one or more active molecules with sanitizing action, combining the hedonistic component of the product with its functionality and obtaining excellent results in terms of olfactory yield, sanitizing properties and customer satisfaction.

The search for the hygiene of a room, in addition to the actual action of molecules assigned to that specific action, passes precisely from the impression that is given to the consumer: a well-scented room, perhaps with menthol and slightly balsamic notes, will be more easily connected to a concept of sterility, hygiene and well-being. Several large hotels have spaces and rooms for smokers, well-designed and marked solutions to avoid causing problems for guests who hate the smell of smoke. Even among those who are regular users of nicotine there is no shortage of people who would like to be able to use rooms without the smell of smoke being soaked in the walls or on the carpet of the same. In this regard, in addition to solutions related to air recirculation and smoke traps, there are stick-shaped room diffusers made with essences able to contrast the smell of cigarette smoke both chemically and physically through some raw materials that are used in the world of perfumes. By creating certain fragrances, some substances that can bind to the molecules responsible for the smell of smoke in a chemical way can be combined with each other, leading

to the formation of odorless reaction products and this kind of solutions are generally those offered by very volatile essences, mostly known of fruity origin belonging to the chemical class of esters, especially acetates and butyrates. In this case it is possible to combine the design and the luxury profile that the world of room fragrance requires with a claim of functionality that can be spent especially for those structures that make the accommodation option for smoking guests a real business opportunity, offering particularly customized solutions.

PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY PROFILE

One of the most interesting aspects for the actors of the room fragrance is linked to the need to create products ad hoc for the needs of the different hotel structures: refined fragrances and the need to have unique olfactory signatures are linked to the technical evaluations of the product to maximize the yield fragrance, with a careful evaluation of the hotel environment where it will be used, without incurring the need to have finished products with too aggressive labeling

DIFUSORES PERFUMADOS PARA GRANDES HOTELES Perfumer grandes hoteles siempre ha representado una importante oportunidad de negocio y, al mismo tiempo, un desafío fascinante para los jugadores del sector. Dentro de una estructura como un resort u hotel, hay numerosas habitaciones y habitaciones para ser perfumadas, cada una con sus propias peculiaridades. Atmósferas relajadas, ambientes confortables y una sensación de relajación total son algunas de las características más buscadas de un perfume de canal de hotel: la tendencia del momento es la tendencia hygge, es decir, una atmósfera de relajación y calma, una habitación de hotel cómodamente amueblada y armonioso, donde los aromas dominantes tienen notas cálidas y acariciantes de maderas blancas combinadas con la delicadeza de almizcles blancos. Una habitación bien perfumada se conectará más fácilmente a un concepto de esterilidad, higiene y bienestar. Uno de los aspectos más interesantes para los actores de la fragancia de la habitación está relacionado con la necesidad de crear productos ad hoc para las necesidades de las diferentes estructuras del hotel: las fragancias refinadas y la necesidad de tener firmas olfativas únicas están vinculadas a las evaluaciones técnicas del producto para maximizar el rendimiento. de perfume Es por eso que preferimos trabajar en la nota perfumada, tratando de hacerla más difusa trabajando en las notas superiores de la misma, o usamos diferentes mezclas de solventes perfumados, además del alcohol de elección, para obtener mezclas que puedan combinarse a una velocidad razonable. evaporación con extraordinarias propiedades difusivas en el medio ambiente.

TRENDS

(pictograms and risk symbols) that could discourage users of the product. Perfuming the hall of a hotel is clearly different from achieving the same purpose in a more restricted environment, such as a hotel room, and for this reason it is necessary to carefully evaluate the concentration of fragrance to be included in the finished product for those who formulate in this context since reasonably the need to perfume a wider environment will require special precautions: the most obvious solution may seem to increase the percentage of essence, on average present between 20% and 25% in the finished product, but this approach would lead to a finished article with anything but mild labeling, for example linked to the presence of a pictogram linked to the symbol of skin irritant, a common situation in products where the percentage of essence exceeds certain limit values. Therefore we prefer to work on the perfumed note, trying to make it more diffuse by working on the top notes of the same, or we use different mixes of perfumed solvents, in addition to the alcohol carrier of choice, in order to obtain mixtures that can combine a discrete speed of evaporation with extraordinary diffusive properties in the environment.

ALCOHOL-FREE DIFFUSORS: A NEED

An increasingly widespread request in the sector is that related to the possibility of having room diffusers in which other types of solvent are used in comparison with the classic ethyl alcohol, for needs related to the consumer health and for a much milder safety profile as regards it concerns their dangerousness and flammability. Alcohol has always been the product of choice to be used as a fragrance carrier in the world of stick-shaped room diffusers, thanks to its properties of being odorless, inert and compatible with a wide variety of packaging, combined with its excellent volatility that allows the product of having, at 28

| march/2020

the level of a large hotel, the right compromise between diffusivity and evaporation profile of the fragrance before it undergoes too exaggerated maceration and aging processes, that can be the basis of oxidative processes that would damage the quality of the product. Despite these qualities due to its known flammability, not easily manageable as regards the transport, storage and sometimes even the labeling of the finished product, some stick product lines, the classic diffuser reeds for some big-name hotel chains have

decided to use alternative solvents with much milder profiles, for example methyl methoxybutanol, known as MMB and often also used for its known degreasing properties, or products of an alcoholic nature but with a methoxy-propanol structure. The challenge in the choice by producers in this segment is to know how to combine the ideal solvent with perfume to enhance its olfactory characteristics, ensuring evaporation as similar as possible to that of alcohol both in terms of evaporation rate and yield.

Concentrated PERFUMES Easy to use and adaptable to the green and eco-sustainability request, concentrated detergents are the product of the moment and the presence of an intense and pleasant fragrance increases their appeal and functionality. Going in the direction of concentrated perfume implies numerous benefits. By inserting a decidedly lower percentage of perfume into the finished detergent product, it is possible to obtain an optimal yield thanks to concentrated fragrances, made specifically to not contain solvents inside them with a mix of raw materials and a unique diffusivity according to the different final professional detergents. Another advantage is linked to the stability of the formulation. At the formulation level, the perfume creates significant problems, both in terms of solubility and organoleptic variations of the finished product over time and under certain conditions, such as high temperatures. Finally, using this type of fragrance allows to fully respect the need for sustainability required by the market: reduced quantities of fragrance lead to significant savings throughout the supply chain.

THE SCENTED NOTE

The fragrances in concentrated detergents exploit the presence of body notes rather than top notes: a process at the basis of the creation of numerous essences for the world of detergency, which however finds maximum application in the hyper-concentrated segment. Body raw materials are mostly fruity and decidedly floral notes and support some of the trendiest fragrances in the professional concentrated detergent sector, for example the world of citrus fruits, with bergamot and orange blossom, or the fresh and aromatic one where hints of lavender dominate with bold green hues. The great diffusivity that the concentrated detergents present is linked to the body notes which are capable of giving volume and persistence to fragrances which otherwise, if made up only of top notes and high percentages of solvent, would disappear after a short time without persisting in the environment.

PERFUMED SOLUTIONS IN GEL FORM

Among the concentrated detergents, the gel format is one of the most innovative and capable of maximizing the yield of the fragrance in terms of intensity and diffusivity. Usable in most cases both for hand washing of floors and in floor washing machines, the gel format allows you to incorporate fragrances of different nature, from the world of clas-

sic lemon to that of vanilla, which compared to the world of liquid products, unless the latter make use of micro encapsulation technologies, have greater persistence in the environment:this peculiarity is to be found in the three-dimensional structure that gel solutions present: the fragrances are ‘incorporated’ into the structure and for this reason they are able to last longer in the environment. It should be considered that the more volatile top notes of the fragrance may in turn be slightly ‘retained’, but this phenomenon occurs to a very minimal extent when compared to the simple fragrances of a normal professional detergent which contains a significant percentage of solvent inside able to ‘anchor’ the fragrance further. Particular care is needed, by the players of the professional sector, as regards the fragrance to be conveyed in a gel product since some raw materials, especially the heavier ones, could be the basis of halos and unpleasant residues during the cleaning phase. The gel format, in its concentrated version, is also the best solution for those who want to introduce micro encapsulated solutions at the level of the finished product allowing the creation of a stable and easy to manufacture finished product, if compared to the world of liquid formats where the solutions in capsules may represent a significant problem due to their intrinsic formulation instability.

Dispensers for PRECIOUS environments

acking90 was founded in 1990 by the entrepreneur Tiziano Zilio, who a few years earlier had already patented his first product, the Hygienic Bag Dispenser. A practical and discreet sanitary bag dispenser to be placed in women’s restrooms. A few years later, encouraged by the success of the first product, the company expanded its line of dispensers with the addition of two new products: Cosmetic Box and Cosmetic Cube, tissue dispensers in rectangular and cubic form, respectively. The entire production process takes place in Italy, in collaboration with trusted partners that work closely with the company to create wear-resistant and durable products. In recent years, in a move toward greater environmental sustainability, the company has created an eco-friendly product:

Isabelle Albertini, Export Manager

fully compostable sanitary bag refills. A further step toward sustainability was the decision to select as manufacturing partners only companies with environmental certifications and clear environmental sustainability policies. www.packing90.com

COMPOSTABLE BAGS REFILL The feminine hygiene topic is engaging more and more the ecological matter and biodegradable sanitary pads are substituting the usual one. Obviously a biodegradable sanitary pad may not be put in a plastic bag, therefore Packing90 has included the new refill with compostable bags in its range. The recycled brown packaging also meet the ecofriendly characteristic of the product. The Single Refill box is made of cardboard and contains 25 PLA interleaved compostable bags.

DISPENSADORES PARA AMBIENTES PRECIOSOS Packing90 nació en 1990 fundada por Tiziano Zilio. El patrón, ya unos años antes, había patentado su primer dispensador Hygienic Bag Dispenser. De manejo práctico y diseño elegante y discreto, el dispensador de bolsas higiénicas es un producto de cuidado femenino que se encuentra en los baños de mujeres. Dado el éxito de Hygienic Bag Dispenser, unos años después Packing90 amplía su gama de productos y lanza dos nuevos artículos: Cosmetic box y Cosmetic cube, los dispensadores de pañuelos de forma rectangular y cúbica.Toda la producción tiene lugar en Italia, gracias a la colaboración y al diálogo continuo con partner acreditados la empresa tiene como objetivo la creación de productos de calidad, resistentes y durables en el tiempo. Hoy en día, Packing90 está comprometida con el cuidado del medio ambiente y añade un nuevo producto eco-friendly a su gama: las bolsas higiénicas totalmente compostables. Precisamente en virtud de este compromiso la empresa ha seleccionado los socios más prestigiosos, los cuales tienen certificados ambientales y apoyan la política medioambiental.

RECARGA DE BOLSAS COMPOSTABLES El mercado de los productos de cuidado femenino exige cada vez más opciones ecológicamente sostenibles.

UNA EMPRESA ABIERTA AL MERCADO EUROPEO

A COMPANY open to the European market

MB was founded in 1980 in Codogno as a manufacturer of wet/dry vacuum cleaners and carpet cleaning machines. With its consolidated range of products and client base, TMB attracted the interest of Mr. Giancarlo Ruffo, leader of the Comac group who acquired its ownership in 2000. Mr. Ruffo’s eldest son, Giampaolo, took on the leadership of TMB in 2001 as General Manager with the task of achieving the various objectives of growth and consolidation, and enhancing the range by creating a line of Industrial Vacuum Cleaners, in order to offer it as a new opportunity to its distributors. This strategy produced the expected result of progressively affirming the TMB brand in national and international markets. Over the course of a decade, TMB has distinguished itself in the attention of end users for innovation, technology and quality, refined design and the capacity to produce “customized” products. During the same period, Euroself, another company within the same group dedicated to the production of Car Wash equipment, was incorporated with TMB, with major export clients 64

Francesco Zanin, Service Manager

in Europe and the United States. 2011 witnessed the long-awaited transfer to Verona, to the Ruffo family’s historic manufacturing site in San Giovanni Lupatoto. This strategic move was followed immediately by the merger of TMB with the Ruffo company specialized in the production of single-disc floor machines, resulting in the reinforcement of the TMB brand and the total integration of logistical and production capacities within the Ruffo family’s brands: a consistent and responsible choice, investing in its future in Italy, in Verona. www.tmbvacuum.com

TMB se fundó en 1980 en Codogno, cerca de Piacenza, como fabricante de aspiradoras de polvo, polvo/ liquidos y lavalfombras. Giancarlo Ruffo, líder del grupo Comac, se interesó en la empresa, adquiriendo su propiedad en el 2000. El plan industrial preveía la creación de una división de aspiradoras con la cual completar la oferta de COMAC en el mercado de la limpieza profesional. En el año 2001, su hijo Giampaolo se convirtió en gerente general, con la tarea de lograr los diversos objetivos, la capacidad competitiva y mejorar la oferta mediante la creación de una línea de aspiradoras industriales para ofrecer nuevas oportunidades a sus distribuidores. La operación dió los resultados deseados: la marca TMB se estableció gradualmente en los mercados italiano y internacional. En el transcurso de una década, TMB tuvo un impacto decisivo en la atención de los usuarios finales por la innovación, la calidad tecnológica, el diseño refinado y la oferta de productos “a medida”. Durante este período, incorporó EUROSELF, otra compañía del grupo dedicada a la producción de aspiradoras de autoservicio y equipos dedicados para el lavados de coches. Los principales clientes extranjeros son los países de UU.EE. y los Estados Unidos de América. En septiembre de 2011, la fabrica se trasló a Verona, en la istalación “de toda la vida” de la familia Ruffo, en San Giovanni Lupatoto. Este paso estratégico fue seguido por la fusión entre TMB y la empresa RUFFO srl, especializada en la producción de máquinas monodisco. Una operación que fortaleció la marca TMB y logró la plena integración de producción logística dentro de las marcas de la familia Ruffo, un decisión coherente y responsable, que invierte en el futuro en Italia, en Verona.

LA LUCHA CONTRA LOS ÁCAROS AYER Y HOY

Fight against mites: yesterday and TODAY The fight against mites is a serious health problem as these arachnids are among the main causes of allergic phenomena and

annoying dermatitis. Dangers that multiply exponentially when they emerge in a hotel context Graziano Dassi

ach protocol to combat these pests recommends acting on environmental remediation: thorough cleaning, protection of mattresses and reduction of humidity. In the two cases, whose treatments are reported below, the cleaning was of a high standard and the mattresses had been reclaimed and inserted into a mite-proof “shirt”. The critical point was the difficulty of 66

reducing the environmental humidity for which the problem recurred cyclically. In both hotels, the presence of the Trombicola autumnalis and the parasitic mite of the woodworm Pyemotes ventricosus could be excluded as no stings or dermatitis were reported, on the contrary some allergy sufferers complained of a resurgence of the symptoms. There was therefore more than legitimate suspicion of the presence of mites of the genus Dermatophagus

La lucha contra los ácaros es un grave problema de salud ya que estos arácnidos se encuentran entre las principales causas de fenómenos alérgicos y dermatitis molesta. Peligros que se multiplican en el contexto hotelero. Cada protocolo para combatir estas plagas recomienda actuar sobre la remediación ambiental: limpieza a fondo, protección de colchones y reducción de humedad. En los dos casos cuyos tratamientos informo, la limpieza fue de alto nivel. El punto crítico fue la dificultad de reducir la humedad ambiental para la cual el problema se repitió cíclicamente. En ambos hoteles, la presencia de Trombicola autumnalis y el ácaro Pyemotes ventricosus podrían excluirse ya que no se informaron pinchazos ni dermatitis. Se sospechaba la presencia de ácaros del género Dermatophagoid cuya dieta se basa, por ejemplo, en escamas de piel humana y caspa. En ambos casos, se decidió desinfectar con detergentes y desinfectantes para las superficies, eliminando hongos, esporas de moho y bacterias de las que se alimenta el ácaro. En el primer caso, se agregó un ambiente de aire a la desinfección de las superficies mediante una atomización por empuje seguida de una desinfección mediante piretroides. La literatura de ambos p.a. informó una buena acción acaricida. El tratamiento terminó con la nebulización de un PMC basado en piretrinas naturales. No hubo recurrencias. En el segundo caso llevado a cabo hace unos meses, se decidió utilizar ozono. El generador de ozono profesional suministró aproximadamente 6,000 mg/h de [O3] con un movimiento de aire superior a 150 m³ / h que garantizó una distribución excelente y homogénea. El tiempo de entrega se cuantificó en 7÷8 min para un volumen cúbico estimado de ÷ 80 ÷ 100 m³. El tiempo de exposición se estimó en 30 minutos (en el que la habitación del hotel permaneció cerrada). También en esta ocasión los tratamientos fueron realizados por un profesional. Nuevamente el problema parece totalmente resuelto.

PEST CONTROL

(Dermatophagoides pteronissynus and D. farinae), whose diet based on flakes of human skin, dandruff, pollen grains, fungal spores, molds, bacteria, insect fragments allows them to proliferate easily to a concentration of 1,000 individuals per gram of dust. Quantity that in fact can escape even the most accurate cleaning. In both cases I dealt with, it was decided to disinfect with detergents-disinfectants for surfaces. The goal was to eliminate the meal made up of fungi and fungal spores, molds and bacteria. Which slightly changed the staff’s operating instructions to the rooms. Instead, the treatment aimed at the direct elimination of mites differed substantially. In the first case an air-environment had been added to the disinfection of the surfaces by means of push nebulization followed by a disinfestation by means of targeted spraying based on a mixture of photostable pyrethroids with residual effect and photolabile with a high knockdown action. The literature of both active substances reported a good acaricidal action. The treatment then ended with the nebulization of a PMC based on natural pyrethrins. Everything was done by a professional exterminator. More than 10 years have now passed and there have been no recurrences. In the second case carried out a few months ago, it was decided to use ozone for its proven action both disinfectant and acaricide The professional ozone generator delivered approximately 6,000 mg / h of [O3] with an air movement greater than 150 m³ / h which guaranteed an excellent and homogeneous distribution. The delivery time was quantified in 7 ÷ 8 min for an estimated cubic volume of ≈ 80 ÷ 100 m³. The exposure time was estimated in 30 min (in which the hotel room remained closed). I emphasize that, in the latter case, the operating instructions did not contemplate the nebulization of the disinfectant being implicit in the ozone spectrum of action. Also on this occasion, the treatments were carried out by a professional who made his 68

About mites Chiara Dassi

Mites (from the Greek “not divided”) constitute an order of the class of arachnids. They are small in size, characterized by a cephalothorax fused with the abdomen which, unlike that of insects, does not present any type of segmentation. Some species are free and other are parasites. For this reason there is a great variety of appendages, in fact the legs can be suitable for running, swimming and be equipped with hooks or suckers to allow them to attach themselves to parasitized species. The biological cycle can be summarized as follows: egg> hexapodic larva that acquires the fourth pair of legs after some molts followed by others until they reach maturity; nymphs are also present in some genera.

ozone commercial technical slogan. I note that even in this case the problem seems totally solved as there have been no more complaints whatsoever from customers and from the hotelier. In conclusion, if we can speak of a conclusion, the mite universe is really complex and the determination of the species is a topic for super experts. The fact remains that the health (dermatitis and allergies) and hygienic (food supply chain) implications require targeted and integrated prophylaxis (control of humidity) and therapeutic (from the use of PMC or Biocides with proven spectrum of action and profile toxicological without counter indications to physical means such as heat and chemicals such as ozone).

The order is divided in various ways according to the Authors, here I indicate the following families: A more current scheme elevates mites (acarina) to a subclass of arachnids made up of two or three super-orders or orders: Acariformes, Parasitiformes and Opilioacariformes; the latter is often considered a subgroup within Parasitiformes.

Family

Description and species

Acarus

They have microscopic dimensions, a squat body, devoid of eyes and respiratory organs (they take oxygen through the skin) and have hooked legs. Reference species: Acarus siro (synonym of Sarcoptes scabiei) which causes scabies. Psoroptes equi which causes small pustules in general on the neck and tail of horses.

Alacaridi

They are mostly water mites. Of a certain interest are the alacarini, that generally prefer marine habitats and they are parasites of fish while the hydracarini prefer fresh water.

Dermodex

They are worm-like, free of tracheas and eyes. This family includes a single genus Demodex; they are parasites that settle in the hair follicles of both animals and men. Dermodex follicolorum responsible for the dog’s mange, the humanis variety is considered by most to be harmless even if some authors hypothesize that it can carry the Mycobacterium leprae or Hansen bacillus pathogen of leprosy.

Eriophes

They have microscopic dimensions, elongated shape and are free of tracheae. They live inside the tissues of plants where they cause deformations and galls. The most common and harmful species are Eriophes (or Phytoptus) vitis due to the erinosis of the vine; E. phloecoptes alteration called plum tree and E. coryligallarum to which it ruins the buds thus preventing the hatching of the leaves.

Gamaside

They do not live like parasites but are “free” and, in general, predators; only nymphs tend to get carried away by insects. They are often found in moss, dry foliage and under stones. Hydrogamassus salinus lives among algae on marine beaches.

Ixodes

They have a relatively leathery body, inferior mouthparts (moved downwards) and have tracheae. The best known genera are: Argas (the best known species is the tick of A. reflexus pigeons) and Ixodes (the most widespread species is the dog tick I. ricinus). Other genres of some relevance are: Haemaphisalis (with many species in the Mediterranean area) and Amblyomma.

Tiroglìfidi

Many species feed on mold and fungal spores. Among the most known and widespread species I mention: Tyroglyphus (Aleurobius) farinae, T. casei, T. longior, Glycyphagus domesticus, Carpoglypus lactis e Rrhizoglypus echinopus.
