CLEANING & HYGIENE
which has a detrimental impact on the cloth’s ability to clean effectively. It is important therefore to select a high grade 100% Microfibre cloth to guarantee the best cleaning results.
Manufactured from 100% Microfibre, Chicopee Microfibre Light disposable cloths have the same cleaning ability as traditional Microfibre cloths, but are specifically designed for short-term use. By disposing of them after a shift, ward or contamination issue, the cloths can not only contribute significantly to eradicating the risk of cross contamination, but also reduce problems associated with ineffective laundering procedures, which are expensive and time-consuming. In healthcare settings disposable Microfibre cloths are particularly advised.
Chicopee Microfibre Light is manufactured using a new process that employs a high pressure water system to split individual fibres, the result is a cloth that is 80% finer than standard Microfibre cloths.
Acting like a magnet, Chicopee Microfibre Light’s positively charged fibres attract negatively charged dirt, dust and bacteria, physically removing and trapping it in the cloth until it is rinsed, rather than attempting to kill them. With some bacteria, such as Clostridium Difficile (C.diff), which is practically immune to most cleaning chemicals, removal is a better option than attempted eradication.
The cloths are also skin and user- friendly, with on sheet visual instructions showing the correct disposal method and providing vital colour coding – in line with HACCP standards for safe cleaning – to further reduce the risk of cross- contamination in critical areas.
Added bonuses are enhanced productivity and improved cleaning scores – the NPSA ‘Revised Healthcare Cleaning Manual reports that many hospitals using disposable Microfibre cloths have noticed that the time taken to perform cleaning tasks has reduced, moreover that the introduction of Microfibre has been followed by improvements in measured cleaning scores when used in accordance with manufacturers’ directions.
