COVER STORY:
The Cleaning Internet of Things
Are distributors simply product movers, or do they have a bigger role to play? The Cleaning Internet of Things (IoT) trend will enable end users to work smarter: Mobile access and data-capturing devices let cleaning professionals track product usage and improve worker-productivity. This feature article helps distributors understand the benefits of connected products and how they fit in — including how they may be the ones helping to analyze the data these devices create.
Ice Melt Products and Planning
Since last winter was milder than usual, manufacturers are worried that distributors will forget the two previous harsh winters and pre-order less ice melt. This could leave distributors with too short a supply if there's an average or above-average snowfall. This article will explain why it's best to pre-order ice melt based on a five-year average and not go on a year-to-year basis.
Ergonomics of Brooms, Brushes and Mops
According to a University of California study, mopping is the second most common cause of janitorial injuries. That's why it's important for distributors to promote the ergonomic aspects of mops, brooms and other hand tools. Common injuries to janitors include muscular strains to the lower back, hands, wrists and arms. Cleaning with non-ergonomic equipment can also lead to fatigue, especially among older workers.
Cleaners and Disinfectants
As hospitals and healthcare facilities become more patient-focused, soft surfaces are increasingly being used. These curtains, chairs and couches need their own type of specialized disinfecting that won't damage the surface. This article will cover steam cleaning and misting products designed for disinfecting fabric.
