Editor’s Voice


Sadly it’s been a somewhat underwhelming summer, especially when it


comes to the weather. Although it’s been duller, greyer and wetter than we’ve been used to for the past few years, the usually quiet summer months for the cleaning and hygiene industry haven’t been quite as inactive as normal. We’re expecting a flurry of industry activity in these final few months of the year.


In this Autumn edition of Tomorrow’s Cleaning Ireland, we hear from Essity’s Liam Smith in our Healthcare Hygiene feature, as he looks at ways of easing the burden on cleaners and healthcare staff in Ireland’s hospitals, where overcrowding has been causing headaches for months. We also hear why


washrooms shouldn’t be overlooked when it comes to infection prevention. We also hear about a number of products in our Floorcare & Maintenance


feature, such as Bona Pure and Robert Scott’s new range of automated floor cleaning robots, Metabots’ Meta-Scrub 60s. Elsewhere, Charlie Robards from Miele explains how care homes can benefit from an investment in commercial laundry equipment.


Thank you very much for reading, and I hope you enjoy the issue!
