Cost-effective infection prevention - Rubbermaid Commercial Products introduces industry’s first disposable microfibre

---

Described as an industry first, Rubbermaid Commercial Products (RCP) has introduced the Rubbermaid HYGEN Disposable Microfibre System for efficient cleaning and infection prevention in the healthcare environment.

The Rubbermaid HYGEN Disposable Microfibre System is designed and proven by third-party testing to remove 99.9 percent of microbes, which includes C. diff, a bacteria that can cause potentially life-threatening infections. The Rubbermaid HYGEN Disposable Microfibre System also features built-in scrubbers that enable complete dirt removal without smearing.
“With healthcare-associated infections resulting in the loss of thousands of lives and costing billions, microbe removal is crucial,” said Matthew Francis, marketing manager for Rubbermaid Commercial Products. “What people don’t realise is that even if microbes are killed by chemicals, they remain on surfaces and become food for live pathogens. We’re excited to debut a solution that changes the cleaning game by removing these microbes to facilitate infection prevention and ensure patient safety without the use of chemicals.”
The first product to deliver the cleaning power and efficacy of microfibre at a disposable price point, the Rubbermaid HYGEN Disposable Microfibre System enables cleaning staff to do more with less to improve productivity. The disposable microfibre mop can be used wet or dry and is compatible with Rubbermaid Pulse or Rubbermaid HYGEN Charging Bucket. Application areas include occupied and discharge patient rooms; emergency and isolation rooms; intensive care units; nurses’ stations, X-ray stations and MRI stations; and other public areas.
