TRUVOX INTERNATIONAL’S MULTIWASH TAKES
CENTRE STAGE The Theatre Royal Plymouth recently reopened after nearly 20 weeks of enforced closure due to Covid lockdown restrictions. As they prepared to reopen, the theatre’s level of cleanliness and hygiene was the highest priority, alongside ensuring the confidence of cast, crew, staff and visitors.
Chris Porter, Business Support Officer at the Theatre Royal Plymouth looks at the crucial role taken by Truvox International’s Multiwash floor cleaning machine in preparing for reopening and maintaining cleaning and hygiene standards.
He said: “Our biggest challenge was to ensure that we had enough hygiene assistants for when visiting companies and patrons arrived at the theatre. As well as this, we reviewed what equipment we already had, and what needed to be purchased in order to meet and exceed expectations. After researching an array of floor cleaning equipment, a discussion with our local cleaning supplier representative led to a recommendation and demonstration of Truvox machines. So impressed were we, it was an easy decision to order four in total.
“As we were still ‘dark’ (i.e. no shows), the first priority was to deep clean the two main auditoriums, the Lyric and the Drum which was no easy task. Not only was each of the 1,300 and 200 seats (lyric and drum respectively) cleaned, but the frames, chrome and walls. Stairs and carpets also required deep cleaning.
“The timing on when we opened for shows led to the decision to split the hygiene team into Rear and Front of House bubbles. The Rear of House hygiene team’s responsibility was to ensure all areas supporting the visiting companies were cleaned to the highest spec. It is vital that performers and crew know they are in a clean, Covid-safe environment, with all critical touch-points thoroughly cleaned. We used the Multiwash system from Truvox International to ensure cleanliness, knowing that when the company arrived, we would need to take a step back to give them space to maintain their own bubble.
“The Front of House team looked after visitors in the foyer, lobby, stairwells

and auditoriums where a combination of glass, chrome, corridors, toilets and recently laid new carpet were part of the regular cleaning schedule.
“The foyer has a hard stone floor and when the contractors left after some building work, as well as laying new carpet, we had to remove a thicker than usual layer of dust before using the Truvox International Multiwash system to guarantee cleanliness.”
Restoring customer confidence with visible cleaning
“One of the lasting effects of the pandemic is that the general public is now much more aware of safety, cleanliness and hygiene. Cleaning used to be something we did before or after the public were in the building, but now people expect to see cleaning taking place, and you could say it has taken centre stage.
“Understanding the wide and varied challenges of reopening safely, we reviewed our cleaning and hygiene requirements and realised that our old methods and outdated equipment simply weren’t good enough. We needed equipment which was practical, efficient and reliable.
“Choosing the flexible multipurpose Multiwash system from Truvox ticked every box. From hard floors to washrooms and carpets, staff found
it easy to use with little training. It is manageably lightweight while delivering heavyweight results. We’ve used the system to clean the auditorium, so rather than having a professional contract cleaning company which would take days, we can do it ourselves.
“The easy-to-use and exceptionally efficient Multiwash system from Truvox International has provided the perfect solution to ensure cleanliness and hygiene across our premises.”
