The Importance of Keeping Your Stocks High within The Workplace

The pandemic has amplified the already important need to maintain excellent cleanliness and hygiene, particularly in healthcare settings.

With increased rates of cleaning and the need for impeccable infection control processes comes the need to maintain a healthy stock of cleaning products.

The healthcare sector is operating at an incredibly high demand at the moment. This may potentially cause frontline cleaners working in key industries not to have the stock of vital cleaning equipment they require.

It’s vital that our customers can access high quality products at short notice.

Meanwhile, a trend towards disposable cleaning products in response to tightened infection control processes has boosted sales of single-use wipes and similar products. We have seen a change in approach to sustainable cleaning products over the last year, as orders of single-use products shot up in contrast to previous years.

An example of this is the big white mop, which is ideal for pandemic cleaning as a disposable product, and is manufactured in a more sustainable way using offcuts of non-woven fabric to reduce waste. It also comes with colour-coded sockets to aid the reduction of cross-contamination. While these mops can be used for single-use cleaning, they are also reusable if desired, so they bridge the gap between single-use and multi-use cleaning products.

Infection control and maintaining strict cleaning processes are set to remain high on the agenda for cleaning in 2021, and nowhere more so than in the healthcare sector. It will remain incredibly important that cleaners adhere to the most rigid processes regarding infection control and cross-contamination, but also that they have timely access to the products they need to do their jobs properly.

There will be no excuses for breaching infection control processes, so cleaning managers must make sure their supply chains are strong and that they can source equipment without delays.
