If your company is still using a mop and bucket to clean floors, you're not alone. Over 70% of floors are still cleaned with a mop & bucket. But there are some major downsides to this conventional method. Not only is mopping tediously labor intensive, it often simply spreads dirt around instead of removing it. Conventional mopping also poses a slip and fall hazard due to wet floors.
For smaller spaces that need a cleaning upgrade, the compact i-Mop is our most popular choice. The i-Mop combines the maneuverability of a mop with the cleaning performance and speed of a walk-behind floor scrubber.
Measles cases in the United States have reached their highest number in 25 years. With a recent outbreak at UCLA and Cal State LA, you may be wondering how to keep your employees, customers, and students safe (and keep your organization out of the headlines).
The most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is through vaccinations. But when it comes to surface protection and disinfection, nothing works better than the Clorox® Total 360™ System.
Disinfecting is a critical step in your cleaning routine. It keeps everyone who moves through your facility healthy and safe. Disinfecting, when done correctly, kills unseen bacteria, germs, and odors and helps prevent the spread of disease. But it's possible that you may be inadvertently lessening the efficacy of these germ-fighting products.
Here are seven things to keep in mind to make sure your disinfectant is working exactly as it should:
Imagine a restroom where towel dispensers require half the maintenance; they are waste-free, jam-proof, and so sleek they actually add to the restroom’s ambiance. This might sound like a dream, but it’s not. It’s reality, thanks to the enMotion ® Flex Paper Towel System, the newest addition to the Georgia-Pacific Professional (GP PRO) Premium Restroom Collection.
When it comes to floor finishes, all are not created equal. A lesser formula can cost more than you might imagine in wasted product and labor, only to achieve subpar results.
Here are the top 10 things to consider when choosing the best floor finish for your job:
Floor matting is an under-appreciated part of maintaining a clean and safe facility. Different mats have different purposes, but one primary role is to keep dirt and water contained from the minute someone walks through the front door of the building. The right mats can reduce cleaning time, improve the appearance of your facility, and reduce the risk of slip and fall injuries.
