Featured in Tomorrow’s Care

Hygiene and infection control is paramount in the healthcare sector and flooring is often overlooked but can harbour a multitude of bacteria. Most premises feature a wide variety of flooring types which creates a challenge for cleaning operatives, so choosing a reliable scrubber dryer which can achieve excellent results on everything from entrance matting to hard floors and carpets is essential.

Last year, global floorcare solutions specialist Truvox International expanded its successful Multiwash™ PRO scrubber dryer range, with the addition of the new Multiwash™ PRO Steam.

A must for use in the healthcare sector, the new model not only provides exceptional cleaning results due to its counter-rotating brushes, but with the additional steam function, it also sanitises floors. Tested in a certified laboratory to remove >99.99% of S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa and B. subtilis bacteria, it improves hygiene, and delivers improved infection control, as with the addition of the steam, dirt and grime is removed more easily than with traditional cleaning methods.

In healthcare environments, the Multiwash PRO Steam is also kinder to the environment as it cleans using only water and does not need any hazardous chemicals or disinfectants.

Better, faster and stronger

“As a leading global manufacturer and supplier of commercial and industrial floorcare machines, we have always prided ourselves in listening to our customers and the addition of Steam to the Multiwash PRO range is a direct result of customer input coupled with our own diligent push for innovation and technical excellence,” says Truvox International Executive Director, Gordon McVean.

“Our Multiwash PRO Steam model has been designed to be better, faster and stronger than other machines which are currently available, and is a perfect addition to the already popular Multiwash PRO range.

“Evolving the Multiwash platform from the Multiwash II to the Multiwash PRO was a great example of our constant journey to improve our product lines. We invested heavily to re-design the machine which effectively and efficiently delivers increased productivity. In fact, the versatile machines’ increased brush diameter consistently delivers up to 12% more scrubbing power.

“Each machine in the Multiwash PRO range washes, scrubs and dries in a single pass, giving improved and unrivalled cleaning results, and leaving floors ready for your customers and staff to walk on.”

Cleaning 24/7

“Since the pandemic, hygiene has become the biggest priority in all premises and cleaning has become more of a ‘front of house activity’,” says Gordon McVean. “Gone are the days when cleaning was usually carried out only at night as if it was a secret. Healthcare premises work around the clock, so there is no choice other than to clean while people are around. Overtly visible cleaning reassures staff and visitors, so it is also important that facilities managers choose machines which look professional, clean and well maintained – and which operatives feel proud to use.

“To help facilities managers choose the most appropriate floorcare machines, we offer a site visit. Taking into account the environment, the flooring type, the footfall traffic, and the required cleaning frequency, we can then recommend the right machines.

“While all of our machines are designed to be easy and intuitive to use, it is worth adding that once a machine has been supplied, we can provide training for operatives, and that’s supported by what’s available on our website and on YouTube. All our machines are reliable, simple to use and easy to maintain. Our online training videos provide step by step guides on how to get the best from each of our machines, and we also have a training facility at our showroom in Southampton.”
