Bold developments for better cleaning
How Rubbermaid Commercial Products are refreshing their range with upgrades to key products.
With businesses facing increasing pressure to address their environmental impact and promote sustainable practices, as well as meeting the higher demands from customers for superior levels of hygiene, all while balancing tighter budgets, it’s essential that they’re investing in effective equipment.
To support businesses in delivering across this criteria, Rubbermaid Commercial Products (RCP) has announced the release of upgraded models of existing, core products. After extensive research and field visits, the Executive Housekeeping Cart has been updated to address the critical needs of users, and the business has launched the new HYGEN r-40 Microfibre Cloth, an upgraded version of their existing microfibre offering.
The next generation of housekeeping carts
With housekeepers twice as likely to experience a workplace injury involving pushing and pulling tasks relative to other occupations, and 43% of housekeeping accidents directly related to pushing or pulling loaded carts, supporting your team with equipment designed to take the strain is essential.
Investing in ergonomic and efficient cleaning tools enhances the speed and quality of cleaning while supporting higher job satisfaction, fewer injuries and lower turnover rates amongst staff1

Executive Housekeeping Cart are designed with these priorities in mind, directly addressing manoeuvrability and ergonomic concerns. Rubbermaid Commercial Products Modular Cart Qualitative Research 2022
Key ergonomic improvements of the carts include:
• Five caster wheels – allowing users to easily switch the cart between fix and swivel.
• A new ergonomic handle – encourages an even grip to better control movement.
•
Impact-absorbing bumpers – protects both the cart and the surroundings.
When assessing housekeeping practices, driving efficiency and improving productivity are always key concerns, along

with budgets. Poor cart organisation and lack of storage space can increase the number of trips to the supply room during shifts, having a knock-on effect on overall efficiency.
The newest edition of the cart features: •
•
• Optional side load linen bag – increases capacity for clean linens without the need for a larger overall cart.
Improved stick and vacuum holder spaces – allowing easy access to cleaning equipment on the move.
RCP’s products are famed for their durability, and the housekeeping cart comes with a three-year warranty for added peace of mind.
Bolder, brighter, better
Today, cleanliness is profitability, and poor hygiene could result in costly consequences. From protecting the wellbeing of staff and reducing costly absenteeism to considering reputational damage and even the risk of facing fines, there’s much for businesses to consider.
The newly launched HYGEN r-40 Microfibre Cloths are the latest iteration of the business’ existing microfibre cloths. The new model, in bold, bright colours, is designed to withstand 200 commercial washes – and 100 with bleach – while the colours remain steadfast, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
Made with 40% recycled material from recycled plastic, the cloths also support better sustainability practices by reducing the need for virgin plastics in production, while continuing to deliver a high level of clean removing 99.9% of tested pathogens, including fungi and bacteria, using only water.
RCP is committed to developing products that are built to last and that can stand up to the tough demands of any sector day in, day out. Providing businesses with quality solutions allows them to buy better and waste less, reducing the hassle and cost of replacing flimsy solutions.
