Innovation: A Clean Sweep


Gill Ireson, Head of Sales at Robert Scott, discusses some of the company’s latest floorcare innovations and market-leading products that utilise almost 100 years of cleaning knowhow.


Floorcare is one of the most vital elements of any cleaning regime. Most public areas experience high volumes of footfall on a daily basis, each with their own unique set of requirements, from adhering to infection control policy through to rapid response and spot cleaning.


It’s important to carry out regular reviews of your cleaning regime to find out where efficiencies can be made, especially with floorcare maintenance as it can often be the most time-consuming task. It’s a service we often get asked for by our customers. We frequently visit end users on our customers’ behalf to spend time with their cleaning staff to understand the challenges they face, so we can recommend the best practices and products to get the job done.


More and more, our customers and their end users are looking for sustainable products that can help reduce the impact on the environment – using less water, less plastic waste and more cost-effective solutions are all top priorities. As a business, we have made real progress with innovation and a commitment to offering more sustainable products across our range.

This innovative microfibre flat mop kit combines a Pro- mist spray handle and microfibre pads for effective rapid response cleaning, without the need for excessive amounts of waste water or chemical agents.

The Pro-mist features a removable bottle and spray trigger, which delivers a fine mist of solution directly to the surface to clean and dry floors quickly. There’s no need for water buckets, making it ideal for spot cleaning. The mop’s lightweight break-frame reduces strain on joints and has a built-in release system to avoid user contact with the soiled mop.


The mop system is designed to be completely versatile to meet the needs of today’s janitorial workforce and is available with a range of microfibre pads. The antibacterial Nano-Ag Microcide silver mop pads are designed to prevent bacterial growth: once bacteria is picked up by the mop, it is virtually eliminated within 30 minutes of contact.


Nano silver works effectively to reduce the five most common bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Salmonella. The antibacterial properties of the material also mean that the pads can be used without any chemical cleaning agents and can be washed at ambient temperatures of 30 – 40°c, making them a more environmentally-friendly cleaning option.


The kit can also be supplied with disposable Mi-mop microfibre pads, which are ideal in hygiene-critical areas such as restaurants or hospitals where there’s no access to laundry facilities on site, or where infection control policy requirements must be met to reduce cross contamination risk.
