Reception and Waiting Rooms

As your facility’s entry point, good environmental hygiene and cleanliness must begin here.



While eliminating bacteria is challenging, it is possible to disinfect surfaces to kill germs by using chemicals4 and the right hygiene tools.

Not so clean

67% of soak buckets tested harbored bacteria

In many high-traffic areas, open soak buckets and rags are used to clean surfaces. However, common use does not mean they are the right tools for the job. In fact, research found that 67% of soak buckets tested harbored bacteria.5

Dirtier tools

Cotton cloths

Additionally, cotton cloths can reduce the efficiency of disinfectant chemicals by up to 85%.6

Eliminating bacteria with the right tools

With these facts, you can see that using open soak buckets and rags may not produce the intended results regarding hygiene and cleanliness. As an alternate surface cleaning solution, let’s look at the benefits of pairing of a closed-bucket system and dry wipers.

Caring Approach - High Traffic - Customize for your level of clean-ready to use dispenser

Caring Approach - High Traffic - Closed to cross contamination-closed bucket

Closed to cross contamination

Ready-to-use closed-bucket system is designed to increase cleaning efficiency and reduce the risk of cross contamination8 by delivering a disposable wiper saturated with your desired chemical.

Caring Approach - High Traffic - Flexible and compatible-dry wipers
