Make the move to Microfibre for a superior clean, sustainability improvements and even cost savings

When it comes to keeping your facility clean, only the best should do. In the busy world of hospitality, choosing the right cleaning equipment that will efficiently and effectively improve the hygiene of your facility is simpler than you think.

With budgets tight it may be tempting to get into a cycle of using cheap, disposable materials, but how could making the move to the more durable cleaning solution, Microfibre, boost your productivity and protect your budgets?

Helping you exceed expectations

With 85% of consumers ranking cleanliness and food quality equally when it comes to eating out¹ and ¾ of hotel guests rating cleanliness as the most important factor affecting their choice of where to stay², it’s clear that getting hygiene right is critically important to the success of your business. Choosing the right equipment that delivers a high-quality clean with maximum efficiency is the key to meeting and exceeding user expectations.

Why Microfibre beats blue roll when it comes to improving productivity and savings

From the busy kitchens to dining areas and other front of house zones, keeping every area of your facility clean and preventing cross-transmission can be a challenge.

For many cleaning and hygiene operators in the hospitality industry, reaching for the blue roll is a quick and easy solution for spillages but having to use reems of the stuff is neither efficient nor sustainable. Enter HYGEN™ Microfibre, a versatile cleaning solution proven to remove 99.7% or more of tested viruses and bacteria with water only³. The patented zig-zag polyester design gives extra scrubbing power and colour-coded cloths help reduce cross-contamination and facilitate cleaning by area or task. What’s more, each cloth can withstand 500 launderings (200 with bleach), meaning you can significantly reduce waste without compromising on hygiene.

Why switch to Microfibre mopping?

For businesses to make sustainability savings, swapping traditional string mops and buckets, which can be extremely wasteful, is a good place to start. The HYGEN™ Microfibre mop wet pads clean 45% better than string mops and 25% better than conventional Microfibre mops. With colour-coded tabs to prevent cross-contamination and pads that are durable for up to 500 launderings, and up to 200 with bleach, you can deliver a high level of clean while making sustainability improvements and reducing unnecessary waste.

After upgrading to Microfibre mopping systems, Sanctuary Supported Living saved 180,000 litres of water, stopped a potential of 400kg of mop heads from going to landfill, as well as other significant cost and resource reductions.
