Hygienic mopping
October 1st 2004 Ramon Hygiene Products, in conjunction with TTS in Italy, has developed Bio Cleaning Tool, which offers a solution to the problems encountered when cleaning with conventional mopping systems.
Most cleaning undertaken in Hospitals, still use traditional mopping systems.This requires a bucket, a mop and a handle and significant amounts of water and chemical.These mops are usually made from either cotton or a mixture of cotton and synthetic fibres.While cotton mops can be laundered, the difficult and cumbersome process of removing the mop from the handle,often deters the user and at the end of the cleaning operation, they are often left damp in a cleaning cupboard.Overnight, bacteria develops resulting in an unpleasant smell and when they are reused, they are immersed in chemical to begin the next cleaning session. The process is labour intensive, strenuous and slow.While many of these systems are colour coded, the difficulties involved with emptying, cleaning and refilling buckets, can lead to the same system being used in different areas, leading to a potential spread of bacteria around the facility.
The Bio Cleaning Tool uses a fresh microfibre mop for every location. Prior to use, the chemical solution is diluted in the hermetically sealed bottle, which is then secured to the Tool. Then drop a microfibre mop onto the surface, place the frame on top and the mop is secured by the Velcro fitting.The Bio Cleaning Tool releases a quantity of chemical determined by the user,by pushing the button on top of the handle. It is applied directly to the floor,by means of gravity feed, the mop is then moved through the chemical, and is absorbed.Working towards you in a traditional figure of 8 action, the mop glides over the surface, trapping dirt and bacteria in the microfibre mop head. The mop can be used continuously as no wringing is required.When appropriate, change the microfibre mop head quickly and easily and store the dirty mop in a suitable container, for laundering. Each mop head can be washed up to 500 times.
This simple system reduces the risk of floor surface bacteria being transferred from location to location and provides for high levels of cleanliness. Cleaning times can be reduced by up to 50% as well as considerable savings on the amount of chemical used. More articles from Ramon Hygiene Products: |
