CLEANING & HYGIENE HygieneMatters
In every healthcare environment, floorcare is crucially important as it can deliver improved health, hygiene and cleanliness, which directly benefits residents, staff and visitors. Tomorrow’s Care talks to Truvox International UK National Sales Manager Paul Robinson.
Proper floorcare in every healthcare environment is essential as it makes a major contribution to health, safety and hygiene. Healthcare establishments present many unique cleaning challenges, and proper cleaning is all about the detail, ensuring that floors are both safe and clean and don’t just look good.
Our range of floorcare machines are highly-manoeuvrable and easy to use. Importantly, they also consistently deliver maximum reliability and performance.
For day-to-day care of carpets and soſt furnishings we recommend using upright vacuum cleaners such as our Valet Battery Upright II or Valet Dual Motor Upright. Meanwhile, featuring a three-stage filtration, including a HEPA 13 filter, the VTVe tub vacuum provides a high filtration of all particles that are 0.3 microns and larger.
For carpet cleaning we recommend the Hydromist Compact – a simple, manoeuvrable and effective all-in-one carpet cleaning machine for carpet and upholstery cleaning – and the Multiwash PRO, which also produces fantastic results on carpets.
“Proper cleaning is all about the detail, ensuring that floors are both safe and clean and don’t just look good.”
Ideal for use in the care home environment, the Multiwash PRO range of scrubber dryers wash, scrub and dry in just one single pass, so floors are leſt clean and dry, ready for staff, residents and visitors to walk on. Delivering exceptional productivity, the Multiwash PRO is effective on all floors from carpets and hard floors, to entrance matting. The contra- rotating cylindrical brushes scrub and liſt dirt, giving a more hygienic and deeper clean.
VISIBLE CLEANING REASSURES EVERYONE
Cleaning oſten used to be something which happened out of hours and behind the scenes, but throughout and since the pandemic, cleaning routines have become more of a front-of- house activity.
Seeing cleaning taking place reassures patients, staff and visitors, so with this in mind, the fact that the Multiwash PRO, VTVe – and all our machines – look so professional is a positive benefit.
Some healthcare premises employ dedicated cleaning operatives, but some facilities may rely on almost all

personnel taking their turn in ensuring the premises are safe and hygienic. Most healthcare establishments will have their own training and induction processes, but for new equipment it is important the staff are properly trained on how to use it.
SAY GOODBYE TO THE MOP AND BUCKET
The ease of use of Truvox floorcare machines is therefore another major reason for their popularity and success. For instance, using Multiwash PRO requires minimal training and people tell us that it is easier, more effective and considerably less messy than using a more traditional mop and bucket.
Using a mop just spreads dirt around, while the Multiwash PRO will scrub and pick up the dirt into the tank which can then be easily emptied. Safety is always top of mind and majorly important in care homes, so the Multiwash PRO is designed to remove chemical residues and eradicate slip hazards.
Perhaps the most common mistake people make when it comes to floorcare and cleaning, is not buying the correct machine. With 64 years of experience in this market, Truvox International can offer advice on which are the correct machines to achieve each healthcare establishment’s required results.
