surfaces when used dry or with water alone. Until recently, these benefits were generally only cost-effective when using reusable systems such as Diversey’s TASKI Jonmaster but recent innovations have allowed affordable disposable alternatives, including Diversey’s TASKISUM, providing cleaning teams with more choice to deploy effective solutions.
The most efficient use of microfibre arises when it is part of an integrated cleaning system that incorporates new ways of working, as well as complementary tools and equipment. The modular TASKI Trolley system, for example, allows cleaning teams to devise configurations with exactly the right layout and number of boxes and containers for efficient microfibre cleaning. Every tool is ideally positioned for easy, ergonomic access to reduce handling movements and the time taken to complete different tasks.
Although microfibre is oſten used for floorcare, many cleaning teams also employ scrubber driers or rotary disc machines. These too can operate without chemicals when used with pads from the Twister by Diversey or TASKI Americo ranges manufactured from 100% recycled PET plastics.
Twister by Diversey is an innovative set of floorcare pads impregnated with billions of microscopic diamonds. These can be used with water alone, last three times longer than traditional products, and significantly reduce the need for periodic maintenance, all of which improves sustainability and reduces overall costs. They are also less abrasive than corresponding conventional alternatives which helps to protect the floor while giving a smoother and improved appearance to the floor which is also more resistant to soiling.
TASKI’s range of scrubber driers and rotary-disc machines are themselves designed to use less energy, water and product than traditional machines. Many TASKI machines are certified under the UK government’s Water Technology List which also means they qualify for an Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) so that customers can claim 100% of the cost against their tax during the same year.
Another aspect of cleaning and hygiene that helps create a great

resident experience is personal care. Residents really value the home-from- home feeling that comes with using luxurious products. Diversey meets this requirement with its Lapē Collection, a set of high-quality, sustainable hand washes and lotions, shampoos and body washes. These represent an ideal alternative to mundane products and – with a choice of scents - will transform any resident’s washroom visit into a multi-sensory experience. They also encourage the good personal hygiene that reduces the risk of infections and outbreaks. Lape Collection’s 300ml refillable and spillage-free bottles help to reduce plastic waste and cost-in-use for optimum sustainability.
LAUNDRY & LINEN HYGIENE The third cornerstone of creating a safe and homely environment for residents is laundry and linen care. Everyone appreciates fresh, soſt fabrics such as bedclothing and towels but in care homes there is the added requirement to prevent infections.
Diversey meets this challenge with its innovative Horizon Light, Bright and Deosoſt system. Used together, these three products deliver exceptional cleaning, disinfection and fabric soſtening results at lower temperatures. Horizon Bright destains and decontaminates a wide range of fabrics, eliminating MRSA bacteria at 40°C (passing EN1276) and C.Diff spores at 60oC (passing EN13704). Horizon Light is a non-corrosive detergent for all fabrics – including microfibre – which ensures clean and fresh results. Horizon Deosoſt is a concentrated fabric conditioner which contains patented odour neutralising technology. This chemically removes the sources of bad smells rather than simply masking them with overpowering perfumes.
FOOD SAFETY & KITCHENS The second building-block to creating a happy and protected environment for residents is food safety and this should be embedded into any care home’s daily routine. Most infections are spread by hand-to-hand contact or by touching contaminated surfaces, which is why hand hygiene and surface sanitising are so important. For hard kitchen surfaces, Diversey’s Suma Bac D10 is effective against a wide range of pathogens found in catering environments. For general cleaning Suma Multi D2 is an all-purpose detergent for most floors, walls, doors, ceilings and equipment.
Manual dishwashing is another key kitchen hygiene task, which Diversey enables with products from its widely- used Suma range. These, like Suma Bac D10 and Suma Multi D2 and many other Diversey products, are available in the compact and portable SmartDose format which allows businesses to introduce highly- sustainable ultra-concentrates into their facilities with no need for specialist equipment or permanent connection to water supplies.

Care home cleaning can be a chore but choosing the right products and processes can make tasks simpler, safer and more economical while improving the appearance of a facility and reducing the risk of infections and outbreaks. Cleaning clearly counts in the care home.
