Infection Control Guidance

A UK-wide public information campaign has been launched to advise the public on how to slow the spread of coronavirus and reduce the impact on NHS services.

The government-funded campaign will include public health advice on how people can protect themselves from infection.

Similar to the ‘Catch it, Bin it, Kill it’ campaign used for flu and norovirus, it will promote important hygiene practices, such as regularly washing hands and always sneezing into a tissue, to stem the spread of viruses.

An effective infection control programme can reduce the transference of infectious diseases, caused by micro-organisms, which can be spread in various ways, including direct or indirect human contact.

Regular or frequent disinfection of high touch surfaces will reduce the number of micro-organisms on these surfaces and help to prevent their spread.

“Basic hygiene such as washing our hands regularly and using tissues when we cough and sneeze can play an important role in minimising the spread of viruses like this.”

– Health and Social Care Secretary Matt Hancock

Loowy – The Toilet Brush Reinvented

Loowy is a new, revolutionary way to clean toilets, replacing the old fashioned and dirty toilet brush with a silicone, antibacterial and water repellent waveform blade for cleanliness right up to the edge.

It’s also quick-drying, easy rinse and durable.

By staying clean and clog-free, it lasts far longer than a conventional toilet brush – saving money and reducing plastic waste.

We were absolutely delighted to achieve 100% compliance. We hope this accreditation provides our customers with further confidence and the assurance that we supply only products that meet the CHSA Distributor Accreditations rigorous high standards, and that they can be sure that what’s on the box is in the box.

The CHSA Distributor Accreditation Scheme, which was introduced in 2017, requires regular periodic site audits to ensure conformance.

The Revolutionary i-mop

Meet the i-mop – a full size scrubber dryer deck with the flexibility of a flat mop.

The first of its kind, the i-mop solves the problems of floor cleaning systems by combining the flexibility of a floor mop with the power and speed of industrial scrubber driers.

Most floors are still being cleaned by mop and bucket, because other floor machines are just not flexible enough to work in most spaces.

The i-mop makes it possible to clean any surface, with freedom of movement and great ease of use.

No borders or boundaries, this machine isn’t just designed for cleaning, it is designed for the cleaner.
