Editor’s Voice CONTACTS


Hello and a warm welcome to the Tomorrow’s Care Cleaning & Infection Control Supplement 2018.


Circulated four times a year, this supplement is jam-packed with expert advice and comment, as well as product innovations and developments, to keep your knowledge of cleaning and infection control techniques and materials as fresh as your care facility.


From the personal hygiene of care staff right through to pest control, we have tried to cover as many aspects as possible to ensure that we’ve got something to suit whatever advice you’re looking for.


One important aspect of hygiene and infection control practice is disinfectant, but selecting the right product to use can prove a tough task. To help with your decision, Diversey’s Deborah Bland discusses the best options for healthcare environments.


Elsewhere in the issue, we have laundry talk from the likes of P&G and Electrolux Professional; an interesting and informative case study from Robert Scott and much more.


I hope you enjoy the read!
