New RTU Disinfectant Cleaner

tartansupply — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 20:43:37 +0000

We are recommending a new disinfectant cleaner! The cleaner itself has been around for a while but we just discovered how great it is. It is yet another Essential Industries product.

What we love about it is that it is so versatile. It can be be used on many different types of surfaces including vinyl, plastics, sinks, chrome, etc. It contains no harsh acids and has a pleasant scent. It cleans, it disinfects and it deodorizes.

Apply by mop, sponge, cloth, or spray it on the surface or in the toilet bowl. It really is ideal for bathrooms and kitchens.

Ask for Essential Readiquat Disinfectant Cleaner the next time you place your order with Tartan Supply!

Team Cleaning

tartansupply — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 14:35:43 +0000

What is the process in which your building is cleaned? Team Cleaning is becoming more and more popular in the industry today. In Team Cleaning, a worker is given a specialty instead of an entire area to clean. For example, if there are four floors to clean in a building, a worker would be assigned a task to complete on each floor and not an entire floor to clean by themselves. Specialty examples include utility, light-duty, vacuum, and restroom to name a few.

This method has been shown to improve the time it takes to clean a building. Not only that, but it ensures cleaning consistency in all areas. Once tasks are assigned, the time it takes per task to be completed can be estimated. Once a standard timeframe is established, a job card can be created for the position so that any worker can come in and complete the work and know exactly what they are supposed to do and how long it should take them.

If your building is not taking advantage of this cleaning approach, it is definitely something to look into to improve efficiency.

Benefits of Foam Soap

tartansupply — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:21:32 +0000

Foam soap is a type of liquid soap that has been whipped with air to create soap bubbles. It is very similar to liquid soap in that it can be scented or unscented and can be formulated with antibacterial properties.

Many argue that there are several benefits to using foam soap in facilities. One argument for foam soap is that it encourages proper hand washing because it is easier to lather. Because it is easier to lather, another benefit is that there is less water waste. There is less water waste because the user does not have to wait for the liquid to mix with the running water in order to properly wash.

Some facilities even report an increase in savings from using foam soap because of less product usage. Dispensers give out an appropriate, and most of the time smaller, amount of soap resulting in less waste than liquid soap. The dispensers are also known to clog less and eliminate dripping saving staff cleanup time.

Think about switching today and saving your facility money and time.
