CASE STUDY: NHS Nightingale London
Cleaning technology provider, Kärcher, and its specialised cleaning equipment hire company, Clean Sweep, are working with global FM provider ISS Healthcare at NHS Nightingale London, to provide all-important professional cleaning equipment to the frontline fight against COVID-19.
This was no ordinary project. With the added obstacle of lockdown, social distancing and a rigid health and safety protocol on-site, Kärcher and Clean Sweep were unable to do their usual formulaic on-site survey at NHS Nightingale London to create a tailored equipment plan. The process was delivered virtually by the two parties, Kärcher and ISS, to ensure that the correct machines were selected from Kärcher’s vast range for the demanding on-site tasks.
Timing was key for ISS: speed of turnaround being a massive factor in a successful set-up for the site. Kärcher and Clean Sweep were able to deliver the essential equipment to the Nightingale hospital within 24 hours of ordering, along with a special arrangement on fees to support this essential program.
A fundamental requirement for the hospital project was equipment that’s used for regular, ongoing cleaning of the external walkways, car park and public thoroughfares. Several Kärcher products were selected for their speed, efficiency and hygiene.
Two large ride-on scrubber dryers that offer a great quality of clean as well as high productivity and efficiency were picked, as they were perfect to tackle the large public thoroughfares throughout the hospital and the strict time constraints. Also, the highly versatile and effective Kärcher Road Sweeper was picked to tackle external debris in the car park and external walkways.
It was essential that this equipment offers a versatile, efficient, and safe way to clean all public thoroughfares and ensure the car park is clean and safe for all staff and patients alike during stringent health and safety legislation.
Kärcher products used by NHS Nightingale London: • 2 x Large Ride-On Scrubber Dryers (a B150 and a B250). • MIC 35 Road Sweeper
Kärcher’s Key Account Manager for ISS UK, Gary Myers, stated: “Having worked with ISS UK for a number of years, Kärcher UK has an understanding of the pressures and constraints ISS Healthcare operates under. Our objective is to be available, through our network of specialists, to deliver the correct solution for the task at hand. This is demonstrated by the quick turnaround, correct application, follow up training and service support on this project”
ISS Healthcare site manager at NHS Nightingale London, Shannon Simpson said: “When ISS was invited to provide the essential services to NHS Nightingale London, we

needed to move fast and this meant working with our long- term suppliers that we could depend upon.
“Kärcher was there when we needed them with the right equipment and training to get our Healthcare Cleaning team supporting the NHS.”
Kärcher and ISS began working with the NHS many years ago and this relationship has stayed strong thanks to Kärcher’s rigorous induction processes. Both companies stay in regular contact and ensure that all equipment hired and/or purchased via ISS is always performing to the highest standard.
Kärcher is proud to be ISS’ preferred hire partner in the UK. Clients can hire equipment for as little as two days right the way through to five years. Hire helps many clients with cash flow as there's no large upfront cost and they can ensure they are getting 100% utilisation out of the equipment, as once it's finished with the machine is returned.
