CROMWELL POLYTHENE EXTENDS
WASHROOM RANGE Sustainable suppliers, Cromwell Polythene have recently extended their washroom range with the introduction of a white LDPE saddle bag for the disposal of feminine hygiene products and other sanitary waste.
Measuring six by 11 inches, the sanitary bags fit most dispensing units for ease of use. The bags are supplied block headed in groups of 50 and like all Cromwell products, come with a minimum guaranteed net box weight, clearly marked on the outer carton.
The sanitary bag, Cromwell code 22790, provides an alternative to the company’s Sansafe™ antimicrobial and scented liners, which use a unique blend of bactericides and fungicides,
TORK REFLEX HELPS TO REDUCE CONSUMPTION,
SAYS NHS TRUST A switch to Tork Reflex Portable has proved highly successful for a health trust in the North of England.
The Tees Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust required a system for cleaning sanitary areas and patients’ en suite bathrooms. The trust used disposable cloths and loose blue centrefeed rolls before changing to Tork.
“The disposable cloths we used left wipe-marks on the stainless steel surfaces, which meant we had to clean them off with paper afterwards,” said Facilities Site Manager, Jane Norman. “So we were looking to alter our cleaning practices and decided to switch to paper.”
The Trust managers then tried using blue centrefeed rolls. “However, the

rolls were not encased so we felt they weren’t very hygienic,” added Jane. “Having a loose roll also allowed staff to be fairly extravagant with the paper supply.
“So we carried out a trial with Tork Reflex Portable and found that it helped to control the amount of paper that people took out. We also liked the dispenser and found it easy to use.”
Tork Reflex Portable comprises a wiper roll housed in a freestanding dispenser. It comes with its own docking station which means that the wipers can be accessed with one hand while the dispenser is fixed in
added during the film extrusion process, to provide powerful round- the-clock protection against harmful bacteria. A subtle lemon scent additive eliminates unpleasant odours, both inside and outside the liners.
Speaking about the firm’s latest product, Cromwell Polythene Managing Director, James Lee commented: “Research among our cleaning and janitorial distributor network highlighted the need for a competitively
priced product, which meets our quality and sustainability standard.
“We are confident that our new sanitary bag meets this brief, while providing a useful addition to our washroom range.”

one place. Paper refills are available in various qualities to suit all needs.
“The handle of the dispenser fits nicely on to the side of a cleaning trolley and the unit doesn’t take up too much space, which is important since we need plenty of room for items such as colour-coded cloths and mops,” explained Jane.
“We also found that Tork Reflex produced a better result than the disposable cloths we used. Unlike the cloths, they left behind no streaks on stainless steel surfaces such as taps and en suite door handles.
“In fact Tork Reflex Portable is a good all-round product and I would definitely recommend it.”
