Silver bullet seeks distributors
February 29th 2008

“I’ve been everywhere man” is the strap line for the new HX SteriTouch System antibacterial mop handle from Yorkshire Cleaning Fabrics, and with good reason when you consider the bacteria that comes into contact with the everyday handle on a regular basis...

A useful new tool in the fight against cross contamination, the HX SteriTouch System has been protected in three key areas: the grip, the shaft and the fitting, with antimicrobial agent SteriTouch, which is designed to inhibit growth and eliminate harmful organisms, reducing the risk of cross contamination through manual handling.

SteriTouch uses silver technology and in test showed over 99.99% effectiveness against MRSA and E-COLI, according to Yorkshire Cleaning Fabrics. It is also effective against listeria, salmonella, mould and fungi.

The fitting on the new HX SteriTouch system is designed with flexibility in mind. As well as the HX socket mop, the handle fits most push fit mops and even metal socket mops and is available in four hygiene colours for colour coding purposes.

"The HX SteriTouch is particularly relevant for hospitals, nursing homes, schools and food industry," says Yorkshire Cleaning Fabric's Piers Greenwood. "We now seek further distributors interested in the new handle and the rest of our janitorial range”.
