EDUCATIONAL AND SCHOOL FACILITIES
Boosting efficiency and sustainability for universities
University hygiene presents numerous challenges for cleaning operatives. James Law, Commercial Director at 2Pure Products, explains how a multipurpose product can reduce risk, training requirements and environmental impact, while increasing efficiency, speed and results.
Maintaining hygiene levels in universities is crucial. From lecture theatres and classrooms to student accommodation and shared study spaces, thorough cleaning is vital in preventing the spread of seasonal viruses and illnesses. However, due to high footfall, constant traffic and shared spaces, keeping on top of hygiene levels can be a challenge.
High footfall
Universities have a high number of students, staff and visitors moving through their spaces every day. This can lead to a high amount of dirt and other contaminants that need to be tackled.
Large and complex spaces
Universities are typically spread over large areas with multiple buildings and specialist settings, such as laboratories. Each of these spaces require a different approach to cleaning.
Out of hours cleaning
Cleaning university environments can be time intensive, and it often needs to be carried out after hours to avoid disrupting academic activities.
Sustainable targets
Universities are increasingly focused on sustainable responsibility. Facilities managers are looking to their manufacturers and distributors to guide them in making the right choices for carbon reduction.
The solution
A multipurpose cleaning product can be invaluable in education environments like universities. It can save time as it can be used for different cleaning tasks on a range of surfaces, eliminating the need to switch between different cleaning products constantly. It can also be more cost- effective than traditional methods, as it eliminates the need to purchase and store multiple cleaning products for different tasks. Not only can this help universities save money on cleaning supplies, but also supports their waste reduction efforts.
Take our OdorBac Tec4 multipurpose commercial cleaner, for example. It’s the safest yet most powerful all-in-one odour eliminator in the world, capable of replacing up to 90% of customers’ existing cleaning products.
This solution inhibits microbial growth and provides a 99% kill rate on bacteria and viruses. It can be used on any surface, including carpets, hard floors, washrooms, furniture, residential areas, high-traffic environments, and is compatible with trigger sprays, mops, extraction and buffing machines to effortlessly complete the vast majority of cleaning tasks with just one product.
It also ticks the sustainability box, too. OdorBac Tec4 is non-irritant, non-hazardous and biodegradable, and

provided in 100% recycled plastic containers. We also offer a revolutionary closed loop recycling system called LoopBox, the first initiative of its kind in the UK to recycle both containers and packaging.
Our OdorBac Tec4 multipurpose cleaner is delivered to universities in the LoopBox and when the container is empty, it’s put back into the LoopBox, collected by our UK distributor, Bunzl Cleaning & Hygiene Supplies, and returned to their local depot.
On their next delivery date, we collect from BCHS and return to our factory, where the containers are sorted, cleaned and dried. They are then refilled, repacked in a LoopBox, and redelivered to distributor depots, returning the containers to the closed loop recycling process.
This system prevents virgin plastic from being produced, reusing our recycled plastic bottles again and again. No additional journeys are made for collection or delivery, and we also offset the carbon on all our scheduled delivery and collection journeys.
The University of Edinburgh
The University of Edinburgh recently replaced all its chemical cleaning products with our environmentally friendly alternative. Not only has this enabled them to reduce their carbon emissions and plastic use, they’re now able to clean their facilities with just one product that’s safe for both people and the planet.
Steve McLaren, Nightshift Deep Cleaner at The University of Edinburgh, said: “The new products have made a huge difference to my working experience. I’m now able to work without having to wear protective clothing, including face masks. These products have absolutely changed my wellbeing at work, I’m much more comfortable now being able to work unrestricted. These products have also made my nightly tasks easier.”
