WHAT’S NEW?
TAKING THE CHSA ACCREDITATION SCHEMES
TO THE CLEANING SHOW The Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers Association (CHSA) will be spreading the word about its Accreditation Schemes at the Cleaning Show, joining the British Cleaning Council (BCC) on stand number B30.
Stephen Harrison, Chairman of the Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers Association said: “We’re delighted to have this opportunity to join the BCC at the Cleaning Show and shout about the benefits of the Accreditation Schemes and the positive impact they are having on standards.”
“Our Accreditation Schemes for Soft Tissue, Plastic Refuse Sacks and Industrial Cotton Mops are recognized as driving up standards,” explained Mike Stubbs, Chairman of the CHSA Accreditation Schemes. “Supported by a rigorous auditing
CHICOPEE’S MICROFIBRE RANGE AT CLEANING
SHOW 2017 Chicopee, the leading brand of professional cleaning materials, will showcase their innovative short term use microfibre product range at this year’s Cleaning Show in London, on stand F06.
Visitors to the Chicopee display will be able to see first-hand the wipes, cloths and mops, that use the very latest microfibre technology.
Chicopee’s new range of microfibre mops is nominated for one of the show’s prestigious Innovation Awards, which are judged by a panel of industry experts and recognise excellence and intelligent use of technology.
Chicopee spent two years developing the mops, which are designed for short-term use and are ideal for cleaning companies and facility managers looking to reduce cleaning time and eliminate the need to launder mops, while improving performance and hygiene.

process, they make sure that what’s on the box is in the box.
“This year we launched an Accredited Distributors Scheme and invited all our distributor members to apply for membership. We’re delighted to be able to give them this opportunity to apply for a marque that will signal their commitment to supplying product that can be relied upon to meet the Scheme Standards and the CHSA Code of Practice.”
The Schemes have been incredibly effective at driving up standards in the industry. Although they improved standards significantly, four years ago the Scheme Management Panels decided to further enhance them. This has resulted in even greater compliance. The Soft Tissue manufacturers are now achieving near 100% compliance, with members of the Plastic Refuse Sack and Industrial Cotton Mop Schemes achieving similar conformance. As
Traditional string mops can be used to clean floors and mop up spills, but as they hold a large amount of liquid, they can be heavy to use. Even after laundering, they may still contain germs, increasing the risk of contaminating the next surface to be cleaned. In addition, wet mopped floors can take up to 10 minutes to dry fully, increasing the risk of accidental slips and falls.
Using Chicopee’s unique APEX® technology, the microfibre mops trap dirt and bacteria, then are simply discarded after use. The mops are used with the ergonomically designed Chicopee mopping tool, which is both light and easy to manoeuvre. Cleaning fluid is only released when the user pulls the trigger, meaning significantly less water and chemicals are used.
Visitors to the Chicopee stand can see all three versions of the mop – economy, light and super – as well as the company’s other innovative products such as the Microfibre Light cloth, which is also designed for short-term use and offers superior cleaning performance while

a result, the CHSA is being called in by procurers to check the product before they buy.
Gaining admittance to one of the CHSA’s Accreditation Schemes is challenging. Applicants must pass the initial audit of their product range and existing quality assurance processes conducted by the CHSA’s independent inspector, Martin Yates. They are then audited frequently throughout the first year to ensure they maintain the standard that is required of them to retain membership of one of the Schemes.
Thereafter, members are visited by the Independent Inspector repeatedly through each year, with products being selected from both the warehouse and production line for inspection.
