Microfiber mop rental can help reduce cross contamination in medical facilities.
Cleanliness is next to godliness, as they say. The importance of a good, clean workspace is perhaps no more important than in the medical industry. This is why hospitals, urgent care facilities, surgicenters, and other medical facilities have turned to microfiber mops and towels to help improve cleanliness and reduce cross contamination.
What is Microfiber?
Microfiber is a specially processed synthetic fiber that is incredibly strong and 100% lint free. Each fiber is 100 times thinner than human hair, hence the name microfiber. Because of their tiny stature and the millions of tiny spaces they create, microfiber mops and towels can hold up to eight times their weight, a 30% improvement over conventional mops.
Additional benefits of microfiber mops and towels include:
- Microfiber products used with water alone are 99.4% effective in removing bacteria from smooth surfaces, according to a study conducted by the Royal Roads University in Vancouver, British Columbia.
- 95% reduction in costs associated with mopping, according to a study conducted by the University of California Davis Medical Center (UCDMC).
- An estimated 20% in labor savings per day, according to the UCDMC study.
Perhaps most importantly, the use of microfiber mops and towels can eliminate cross contamination by substituting fresh product in each room, states the UCDMC study. This can help cut down on the two million reported hospital acquired infection annually. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one-third of these infections could be prevented through proper infection control.
