Using technology to keep healthcare facilities clean and safe

People expect healthcare facilities to be clean and safe — and ensuring the safety of patients, visitors and staff is among the most important jobs facilities directors perform. Increasingly, hospitals and care facilities are looking for technologies that maintain cleanliness and reduce hazards like slippery floors and poor indoor air quality, while also improving productivity and reducing chemical use.

A leader in manufacturing equipment for floor maintenance, Tennant Company partners with healthcare facilities to provide machines like the T300 Scrubber to clean effectively and efficiently, helping to reduce costs while minimising safety risks related to floor cleaning. The T300 is a highly maneuverable walk-behind scrubber that delivers outstanding cleaning results with excellent water pick-up that can reduce the potential for slip and fall accidents caused by wet floors.

Tennant’s innovative ec-H2O NanoClean™ technology is available with the T300 to further reduce health and safety risks by replacing slippery detergents with electrically converted water to clean floors. Scrubbers equipped with this technology generate millions of microscopic nanobubbles to clean floors. The converted water solution effectively removes typical daily soils as well as food greases and more without leaving chemical residues on the floor. As a result, using the T300 with ec-H2O NanoClean can help improve floor traction to further reduce the risk of slip and fall accidents.

Another option for the T300 is Quiet-Mode™. Using this feature allows operators to clean around patients and visitors with a minimum of disruption, keeping noise to a minimum. Facilities can therefore maintain a daytime cleaning schedule for high traffic areas to contribute to the comfort and satisfaction of patients, visitors and staff.

Tennant innovations including ec-H2O NanoClean and Quiet-Mode show why hospitals and care facilities around Australia rely on Tennant equipment.

“Tennant is dedicated to partnering with our healthcare customers to see that their facilities are cleaned to their high standards, while maintaining productivity and controlling costs. We know you have a commitment to your patients and their families, and our role is to provide trustworthy equipment to help you meet your commitments. We take that very seriously,” says Joshua Hastings, Tennant Marketing Manager, Australia and New Zealand.
