Green care for carpets in healthcare

In carpeted healthcare facilities, one of the main challenges is maintaining carpeting to the highest possible standard with a high level of foot-fall.

"Regular,'green' cleaning is absolutely key,"says Rebecca Botha,media and marketing director at Cleantec Innovation.

"Our natural, organic and biodegradable Low Moisture Carpet Cleaning System is used widely in hospitals and care homes. It uses the Envirodri Dry Carpet Cleaner so carpeting can be walked on during and immediately after cleaning." Recently the company has launched Envirodri Pro-M multisurface Spot and Odour Eliminator.

'The formulation contains safe multi-strain microbial bacteria which causes the biodegradation of organic residue at locations difficult to reach with detergent cleaning alone,'explains Botha.

The microbes recycle waste, releasing naturally occurring byproducts such as carbon dioxide back into the environment.The product is safe to spray directly onto surfaces and requires no rinsing.Envirodri Pro-M is nontoxic, non-corrosive and cannot bleach or discolour.
