Case Studies

A chain of fitness clubs wanted to demonstrate its commitment to maintaining a clean and sanitary facility

Hundreds of people can touch a piece of gym equipment each day, exposing it to a buildup of sweat, grime, and germs.  Keeping equipment clean is an ongoing challenge, and patrons demand to see that fitness clubs care about keeping them healthy.

A hospital chain was looking for a more effective program for cleaning patient rooms while meeting stringent standards for reducing the spread of hospital-acquired infections (HAI)

Forty-four percent of patient rooms contain pathogens including C. Diff after cleaning with traditional dust mops and cleaning cloths. Standard laundering does not effectively sterilize these reusable products, and may actually increase the risk of further spreading harmful pathogens.

A major retailer was looking for a new product to satisfy customer demand

Customers of a major grocery store asked frequently about a product that would work to clean coffee pots and carafes.  Over time with repeated use , mineral deposits from hard water build up and make normally satisfying brews taste bitter.  The retailer turned to Maintex, and we custom-formulated a new chemical cleaner to meet their needs:  Maintex Coffee Pot Cleaner & Descaler .   A monthly deep cleaning and decalcifying of the coffee maker improves the brewing performance  and the taste of coffee. Coffee Pot Cleaner is ideal for cleaning all parts of a drip coffee machine, including the glass carafe, the exterior of the pot, internal parts, and even coffee cups!
