JohnsonDiversey says its Jonmaster trolley system removes dust, dirt and bacteria from large areas more effectively than traditional methods

Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton has recently introduced the Jonmaster ultra microfibre trolley system from JohnsonDiversey as part of its ongoing programme to reduce and control hospital infections.After the current rollout is complete Jonmaster trolleys will be used on each of the hospital's 30 wards and four major departments for daily cleaning tasks replacing a traditional mop and bucket approach.

"This is an exciting development for us and we are really impressed by Jonmaster," says Wendy Sims, hotel services manager at Musgrove Park Hospital."Cleaners no longer need to use chemicals or hot water when they clean as the cloths are designed to be used when just damp.They work by drawing germs directly into the cloth which are then trapped and killed when laundered." The hospital, which is part of Taunton & Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, is the largest general hospital in the county, providing a full range of in-patient and out-patient services. It selected Jonmaster after a thorough evaluation during a sixmonth trial involving three competing products.

JohnsonDiversey says the hospital was impressed by the ultra micro fibre's proven ability to clean hard surfaces without chemicals. It says trials showed Jonmaster was popular among staff and easy to use and this led to the decision to invest approximately £55,000 in the system.

The ergonomic Jonmaster system is a complete set of high performance tools designed to maximise floor and hard surface cleaning.The patented ultra microfibre cloth eliminates chemicals to reduce the overall cost and environmental impact of cleaning. Ultra microfibre cloths can be used dry or with water alone for effective cleaning with reduced physical demands.
