Cleaning
healthcare facilities can be much more complicated than cleaning a school,
business or other public space. There are simply far more things you need to
keep in mind besides the cleaning itself.
Don’t leave anything behind
Chemicals can make highly effective cleaning solutions, but most
chemical cleaners create fumes or leave behind residues that can comprise your
job in the long run. That’s why more and more facilities are requiring
chemical-free or reduced chemical cleaning from their equipment.
Clarke’s BOOST®
Technology is the perfect solution for this growing demand.
The Clarke
Focus® II compact autoscrubber, for example, which features BOOST Technology,
can actually strip floors without chemicals, eliminating one of the worst sources
of chemicals. What’s more, BOOST allows you to clean with the least amount of
detergent needed to do the job—or even with water alone. In fact, BOOST can
reduce your water and chemical consumption by 50–70%. And that can go a long
way toward making your facility a healthier place.
Think about the air, too
Air
quality is obviously very important in a healthcare facility. Yet, in their
efforts to reach the high levels of cleanliness that healthcare environments
require, many cleaners will use equipment that compromises the quality of the
air.
One
example is Clarke
CarpetMaster® upright vacuums. Featuring an exceptionally efficient three-stage
filtration system—including a certified H.E.P.A. filter—this powerful
carpet vac cleans your carpets without sacrificing air quality.
The peace-and-quiet factor
Many people don’t think of noise as pollution, but there’s a
growing movement to change that perception. This is especially true in
healthcare environments, where peace and quiet is critical. The problem is,
cleaning machines are powered by motors and motors make noise.
Clarke has addressed
this problem by designing some of the industry’s quietest equipment. Clarke
vacuums and burnishers are so quiet they can often be used during daytime
hours, allowing staff to optimize their schedules and raise their productivity.
So even though
maintaining exceptionally high standards in health care environments can be a
demanding challenge, having the right tools can help make it all simple.
