Furthermore, when focussing on commercial laundry – which is what the majority of readers here will be doing – it is even more important that the products being used are first and foremost effective and commercially viable but also kind to fabrics, the user and most notably the environment.

The reason for this is the sheer quantity utilised. With commercial laundry loads, considerably higher volumes of products are used, meaning if it is in some way damaging to the wider environment, this damage will be magnified. Likewise, the fabrics and clothes washed in commercial laundry loads will inevitably come into direct contact with the skin of operatives and clients alike – making safety and sensitivity issues ever more vital. Selecting the right ingredients at the outset is key!

Every detergent manufacturer uses proprietary ingredients to produce their specific brands. These ingredients can be manufactured from plants; others may be petroleum-based. It is the amount of each ingredient and how they are combined that impacts the efficacy of the detergent, sustainability and cost in use.

Making the small change to eco-friendly laundry products, particularly those powered by bio and eco technology, can make a substantial difference to a company’s environmental profile. But why, and how, are these highly effective products so much better for the environment?

In May, Wightman & Parrish hosted, in partnership with West Sussex County Council, a Floor Cleaning Show. 

A NEW ERA IN FLOOR CLEANING IS HERE.

TRUE CLEANING POWER INTO THE HANDS OF EVERYONE WITH THE NEW TASKI swingo 250µicro.

In a world demanding even higher standards of hygiene you have to work harder to impress your customers, guests and patients whilst safeguarding your brand.

However wet floors are a serious risk. Slips and falls as the result of wet or dirty floors and the risk of contamination spread from unclean mops and buckets are a serious threat. Unless mops are thoroughly laundered at high temperature or disposed of, microorganisms can quickly multiply. This is often a hidden problem. TASKI has collaborated with a major partner to bring to market a mechanised cleaning solution for facilities that want to tackle the hygiene and safety concerns of unclean floors.

The swingo 250µicro is a lightweight, mobile, micro scrubber that delivers exceptional cleaning performance. Simple and easy to use like a mop but that’s where the similarity ends.

How the swingo 250µicro can help your business.

1) Improves your customer experience

2) Protects your brand

3) Protects people and ensures safety

How?

The swingo 250µicro delivers better cleaning three ways:

1. a) CLEANER FLOORS
2. b) HYGIENIC FLOORS
3. c) SAFER FLOORS

More cleaning pressure lifts even ground in soilage. More soilage removed means less microorganisms to pose a hygiene risk. More water removed thanks to the digital vacuum motor leaves floors perfectly dry. Clean, dry floors are simply safer and more hygienic.

We recently carried out a free demonstration of the Swingo 250 with one of our Customers. Nothing they had tried could get their antislip flooring clean, as they have such high footfall in their washrooms.  Our customer was blown away by the results! Check out the results in our video below:

Welcome to the world of the TASKI swingo 250µicro, now every business can achieve professional floor cleaning results.

Now that’s good business.

Today, people may assume that using air dryers after handwashing is just another way to dry hands. But that’s not the case, as jet air dryers spread up to 10x more bacteria.
