There is one top premise whe it comes to cleaning in the healthcare sector: safety. Patients, hospital staff, suppliers and visitors incrust germs and dirt into the hospital every day. The greatest danger is from particulate contaminations – from bacteria or dust, for example. On the one hand these contaminations have to be eliminated, on the other hand new ones should come. Yet the cleaning process has to be efficient and in hygienically sensible areas a defined result has to be reached. To fulfill these criteria a system is required which guarantees contact-free processes, to avoid cross contamination, and reproducible results.

Hospitals & Clinics

In hospitals and clinics, hygienic safety receives a more significant meaning than in nursing homes. While the criteria in the patients' rooms and the sanitary facilities are similar, the requirements in the treatment rooms or in the operating area are subject to even more stringent cleanliness requirements. Operating areas are cleanrooms; this doesn't just demand validatable process results, but it also means that the respective products must be used. Under no circumstances must these products bring additional contamination and they must themselves be easily cleanable. Our operating room trolley fulfils these criteria and consistently follows the colour-concept green for the OP areas.

Retirement and nursing homes

Various conflicting requirements exist in the manual industrial cleaning of healthcare facilities. In patient-related and sensitive areas such as treatment/examination rooms or in the sanitary facilities, floors and surfaces must be subjected to a safe, disinfecting cleaning process. Therefore, in clinical cleaning the surface cleaning is conducted using the colour-coded concept. Red stands for the cleaning of WCs, yellow for general sanitary surface cleaning and blue for furniture and other general surfaces. Green is a special colour that is for kitchen areas, disinfectant cleaning, or for areas where surgery is performed. Both our cloths and our PlusBoxes can be adjusted to the corresponding colour-coded concepts, whereby an incorrect operation is eliminated and cross-contamination is avoided. This ensures increased safety to patients and visitors.

For all of our solutions for the cleaning of healthcare installations and institutions the following applies: the solutions have all been developed with the most recent technology, can be aligned to colour-coded hygiene concepts and have been tested by independent appraisers in terms of their efficiency and effectiveness. For floor cleaning in clinical areas, we recommend working with ourEasyMop method for the pre-impregnation of the mop covers, using closed boxes for storing the used materials, and our colour-coded PlusBoxes for the ready-to-use impregnation of the cloths.
