Stock Up on Disinfectant?
With infectious disease experts predicting a tough winter ahead, we still have months before the vaccine may be widely distributed. News of a vaccine on the horizon has everyone excited --- but we are not in the clear yet by any means.
In a recent article for ISSA Magazine, Ada Baldwin, director of university housekeeping at NC State University reminds us that while COVID-19 has dominated the news this year, environmental services staff are also the front line of defense against another threat, that of MRSA.
Facilities management professionals, are you facing pressure to care about the environment, be socially responsible, and quickly respond to new regulations? Instead of just thinking about the bottom line, are you thinking about the triple bottom line; people, planet, and profits? Many of these pressures fall directly under the facilities management realm, and therefore this industry is under particularly close scrutiny.
Out with the old, in with the new (soap).
In 2020, major retailers are fundamentally reevaluating their cleaning policies. They're increasing use of disinfectants, installing plexiglass barriers, changing hours for extra cleaning, buying deliberate stacks or kits of cleaning products, and making sure that they have a steady supply of large amounts of hand soap.
Washing our hands can be tremendously inefficient and wasteful, and we believe it's time to fundamentally rethink hand soap. That's why we've introduced a sustainable dissolving pac delivery system. Switching dispensers at all of your stores might seem like a daunting idea, but in most cases, the savings in freight makes up the difference in a year or less. Below, you'll learn how to use dissolving concentrated hand soap pacs, and how they might forever change the way you supply your restrooms.
Re-thinking clean in the retail store setting
The "old fashioned way" to clean a retail store involved constantly buying enormous amounts of premixed cleaning solutions, chemicals, dispensers, and miscellaneous supplies, and having little visibility into efficiency, value, or environmental impact. But all that has changed today, thanks in part to customized kits of dissolving concentrated cleaning products.
Beyond just the massive cost savings associated with switching to from traditional soap bags and cartridges to dissolving hand soap pacs, this delivery system is also much friendlier to the environment. Below we will look at the environmental impact of using traditional hand soap at scale, and the implications of switching to a more sustainable approach.
Buying and using bulk hand soap the old way means throwing away an enormous amount of plastic packaging and containers in the process. Each time you discard a single-use plastic soap bag or cartridge, that waste might end up in a landfill, where it won’t break down for hundreds of years.
