against stringent standards. Meeting CleanSeal performance criteria means that these products also meet the efficacy requirements under current environmental and sustainability standards that are now so important to customers and manufacturers across the UK and Europe.”
The WoolSafe Organisation is a resource for information and advice about wool carpet and rug care, and is in continuous dialogue with carpet owners, carpet suppliers and the providers of carpet care products. The HOST cleaning products range has been WoolSafe approved since its inception in 1991. The WoolSafe/ CleanSeal approval will enable Host von Schrader products to be promoted in Europe and elsewhere more effectively.
Mike added: “The WoolSafe or CleanSeal Mark on a product quickly reassures purchasers, whether experienced cleaners or novices, that the product they are using will not only be a very effective cleaner but also not cause any problems for them. Our Dry Extraction Carpet Cleaning system uses WoolSafe and now CleanSeal
David McGarrigan, associate director, estates and facilities, said: “Over the past three years we have transformed the way we deliver cleaning services at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary. The achievement of CIMS accreditation now gives us a platform for delivering a sustainable quality environment for our patients.”
CIMS is an evidence-based management standard that focuses on the characteristics required to deliver a successful cleaning programme and supports service providers in developing a customer- centred delivery model.
The award was received by Director of Nursing and Deputy Chief Executive for the Trust, Brendan Brown. He also thanked and praised all of the cleaning services team for their efforts and hard work in delivering service in challenging times for the NHS.

accredited HOST sponges, which are a natural product consisting of millions of absorbent sponges.
“The sponges are moistened with a unique blend of water, detergents and a small amount of safe to use solvent and control all the necessary liquids to dissolve both water soluble and solvent soluble soil. The HOST SPONGES do a double duty job. First, they carry the liquid cleaning agents to the fibres in a controlled way. Second, they loosen, absorb and hold the soil in control for extraction by vacuuming. With the HOST Dry Extraction Carpet Cleaning System you are in total control of the cleaning chemicals and soil at all times.”
Dr Agnes Zsednai, Managing Director WoolSafe, commented: “CleanSeal Approval tells cleaners that those products, such as Host’s sponges and spot removers, have been independently tested and certified for their excellent performance. They provide reassurance to operators and end users that they will cause no damage to wool or other fibre carpets - or the environment. Their performance has been verified and ‘they do what they say they will’ if used in the correct manner.”
