Geerpres® EVS carts are uniquely designed for the changing standards of healthcare and critical environment cleaning. In addition to the Virtual Manager software, all carts are equipped to transport and house Advantex® cleaning products like single-use mops, wipes and the Advantex® G8 Microfiber Application System. The entire Advantex® product line is systematically designed for all healthcare/clinical, terminal, cleanroom, and food service applications.
A recent study evaluated laundered microfiber mops from eleven hospitals and found that 27.3% of the newly laundered mops contained microbial contamination, including HAI pathogens.
Laundry considerations: The typical hot water temperature in the laundering process specifies 160°F-200°F for microfiber mops or cloths and excludes the use of bleach unless necessary. Bleach is required for a cold-water laundering method at
5-150 ppm.
A myopic view simply focuses on waste (disposable products) going in a landfill. In reality, laundered products require transportation and a carbon footprint that includes using energy, water, and chemicals to be effective.
Single-use mops use half the chemicals resulting in less waste and efficient cleaning. Overall, the life cycle is better for the environment than laundered mops.
Geerpres® understands the importance of environmental impact related to cleaning products; however, patient care and safety ultimately must come first.
Many hospitals are moving to single-use microfiber mops and wipes to help reduce the risk of HAIs from floor surfaces. Single-use mops remove the potential of cross-contamination with virgin microfiber in every use while eliminating the risk of efficacy degradation through microfiber structural breakdown or pathogen retainage in the mop, as a result of an inadequate laundering process.
Key Findings
Synthetic, disposable (single-use) mops and wipes represent a minimal footprint and should be considered against the laundering process and its waste and energy implications.
Factors to consider include single-use microfiber mops use less water and energy by eliminating the laundering cycle.
