Cloth washes away waste costs

Synergy Health has launched the new 'economy and ecofriendly' Essentials Washcloth. The washcloth is a heavyweight, highly absorbent dry wipe which is macerator friendly.

The wipe's maceration performance has been tested by macerator specialists The Haigh Engineering Company.

"The new Essentials Washcloths successfully disintegrate into minute fragments when macerated and then flush down the drains," says Nick Dale, Haigh sales manager. "This is an environmentally friendly product that will save money on waste disposal." The washcloth comprises airlaid tissue - made from 100% certified renewable sources. It lathers well with soap and water, or can be used with cleansing foams, and its softness makes it suitable for sensitive skin.

The Essentials Washcloth is available from NHS Supply Chain, order code VJT262.
