🗑️Liners come in many sizes, but do you know which liner is best suited for your facility?

When it comes to liners, having the right size matters. Getting the right fit for the receptacles in your facility reduces plastic waste and saves time trying to fit to containers.

The right liner improves efficiency, reduces waste, and helps save money.

Why do your floors still look dirty after cleaning?

There are many reasons why your floor is still dirty after you clean it.

Common reasons:

Incorrect chemical dilution (too strong or too weak)
Residue and embedded dirt buildup from improper cleaning schedules
Over-worn floor finish
No top-scrub and recoat program
Inconsistent or missed stripping cycles

🧼 Ways to maintain a clean floor:

🧪 Use the correct product dilution every time
🔄 Implement a top scrub and recoat program to extend floor life
📅 Stay consistent with your floor care schedule
🏢 Utilize premium commercial floor finish products like Clarion 25 and Castleguard®

A strong floor care program focuses on maintaining floor finish not constantly removing it. By removing only the top worn layers and recoating (through a top scrub and recoat program), you can restore appearance without the need for frequent full stripping.

Better results don’t come simply from cleaning, but with better processes and management. If your team needs help, check out our Hard Floor Care Program.

🧼Are you washing your hands long enough?

Handwashing is one of the simplest and most effective ways to stop the spread of germs.

But here’s the catch: most people don’t wash long enough.

Goal: Aim for at least 20 seconds.

That’s about the time it takes to:

Hum, “Happy Birthday” twice

Slowly count to 20

Don’t let a quick rinse undo the benefits of proper hand hygiene.

Clean hands start with the right technique and the right amount of time.

When it comes to point of care, every part of the patient’s room matters.

Even with routine cleaning, frequently touched surfaces can contribute to the spread of germs if overlooked.

These areas below are touched constantly by staff, patients, and visitors, making hand hygiene at the point of care essential.

The easier it is to clean hands, the easier it is to help stop the spread of germs. Point of care tools make cleaning hands easy.

Do you know how fast germs can spread?

When spills or bodily fluids aren’t cleaned properly, contamination can quickly spread to surrounding surfaces and through touch, far beyond the original area.

Germs don’t stay in one place. They move through contact, equipment, and high-touch surface

This is why proper cleaning and disinfection matter, especially in areas where you may find:

Spills

Blood

Bodily fluids

Stop the spread at the surface. Clean first. Then disinfect.

Great disinfectants to eliminate germs at the source are:

Buckeye Sanicare Quat-64™

Buckeye Terminator™

Sanicare Disinfecting Wipes
