Choose the Right Cleaning Tools for Your Business
Equipping your cleaning staff with the right tools is an investment in both workplace ergonomics and time efficiency. Professional cleaning tools differ significantly from the products bought in regular supermarkets. They are designed to withstand daily wear, chemicals and frequent washing at high temperatures.
The Benefits of Professional Equipment
- Ergonomics first: Cleaning is physically demanding. With telescopic handles, lightweight materials and pivoting mop frames, you reduce the risk of strain injuries to shoulders and back.
- Superior microfiber: Professional cloths and mops use advanced microfiber technology that captures dirt and bacteria far more effectively than ordinary yarn, often with minimal use of chemicals.
- Long lifespan: Brands like Vikan and Unger manufacture tools built to last. Even if the initial price is slightly higher, the cost per use becomes significantly lower over time.
Colour Coding – For Safer Hygiene
In professional facility cleaning and foodservice, colour coding of cleaning tools is essential to prevent cross‑contamination (for example, using the same cloth in a toilet and then on a desk). In our assortment, you’ll find sponges, cloths, brushes and handles in the industry’s standard colours (red, blue, green, yellow) so you can easily maintain hygiene standards at your workplace.
Clean properly to avoid straining the body.
To clean is a physical task, and it is therefore important not to strain the body unnecessarily. Muscle and joint pain can occur due to cleaning work. With some simple tips, you can learn to clean properly and not strain your body.
-
Movements: Avoid awkward positions and think about your posture. When mopping, move your feet from side to side to reduce the load on the upper body. It is also important to bend your legs instead of your back. Moreover, regularly look up to avoid always looking down at the surface being cleaned. This will help stretch and straighten your neck. Also, work with cleaning tools close to your body, because moving them away from your body increases the load.
-
Cleaning tools: A good starting point is to adjust cleaning tools to your body instead of forcing your body to fit the cleaning tool. For instance, a vacuum cleaner should not be too heavy and should be comfortable to grip. Hose and tube should also be adjusted to your height.
-
Protective products: Protective products such as gloves and hearing protection are important to prevent, for example, skin dryness or hearing damage.
-
Training and breaks: Training builds up the body, making it strong enough to handle cleaning tasks. Regular exercise and physical activity are therefore beneficial for the body, as well as taking breaks while cleaning so that the body can recover and rest.
