When Shopping for Cleaning Tools, Make Sure They Can H.E.L.P!

As people return to offices, schools, and other shared spaces, the need for tools that can clean thoroughly and quickly is in high demand. Having the wrong tools can hurt a cleaning process as much as using the best tools can help. When evaluating what new textiles, hardware, or technology could be added to what you’re currently using, use this handy acronym to make sure you have key cleaning areas covered:

H – High: Dust, germs, and other airborne contaminants can land anywhere. Keeping overhead surfaces clean is important but can be difficult. Single-use microfiber dusters help capture dust instead of spreading it around. Tools designed to make cleaning overhead easier, such as the High Duster XF with Premira Microfiber Covers, can grab dirt from vents and other hard to reach spaces without disturbing more fragile items like light fixtures.

E – Everywhere: When selecting wipes for cleaning and disinfecting, many people assume one wipe can perform all tasks. However, if you pair your disinfectant with a wipe that quat binds, that disinfectant’s efficacy becomes greatly reduced. Look for synthetic wipes that have been tested for cleaning chemical compatibility, such as ContecClean™ Cloth, to get optimum results. They’re durable, versatile, and for great everyday use

L – Low: Proper floor care is critical since shoes can track in dirt and other pathogens from other areas. Our Premira® Microfiber Single-Use Mop Pads make cleaning floors more efficient and help reduce cross-contamination. The convenience of our Premira Portables™ lets you create saturated mop pads without a bucket – simply pour the cleaning chemical directly into the bag and go!

P – Particular: Some spaces have unique features that require specialized tools for cleaning, such as MRI machines, electronic screens, and other sensitive items. Or you might have unique situations that affect your cleaning protocols, such as physical constraints or limited storage space. Our ZeroGravity™ Mop backer plates, handles, and connectors offer a complete system for mopping and dusting. You can create multiple tools with just one ZeroGravity handle and multiple QuickChange connectors, saving space on cleaning carts and supply closets.
