Sachet solutions
October 1st 2004 Derek Wannerton, Head of Sales, PVA Hygiene, identifies how the right choice of cleaning chemicals can make life easier and save money.The minimum wage is here to stay, putting continual pressure on contract and in-house cleaning teams to increase operational efficiency. From the 1st October 2004 workers aged between 18 and 21, and over 22 saw their wages rise by 30 and 35p an hour respectively.
Managers are looking increasingly to the spreadsheet to help them analyse and budget costs more effectively. Labour accounts for nearly 90% of the costs in most cleaning budgets, so anything that makes work simpler and quicker for cleaners has a real effect on the bottom line. One of the latest advances in cleaning chemicals dosing offers just such as solution.
Historically the dosing of cleaning chemicals in the UK has involved the use of liquid concentrates diluted with water, but manufacturers have constantly been striving for safer, easier and more cost effective ways of administering cleaning chemicals.
Already widely and successfully used in continental Europe, but still relatively unknown to many people in Britain, Soludoz is a new range of cleaning chemicals in powder form with the correct dose contained in a small, completely soluble sachet.
It is very easy to use with each sachet containing the correct amount of active powder for each application.This means there is no need for expensive or complex dosing systems and no requirement to measure products to ensure the correct results.Dosing has never been quicker and easier.
Add the sachet to eight to ten litres of warm or cold water and you have a ready-to-use solution immediately. It is a clean and simple system, there is no need to tear, pierce or open the sachet as everything dissolves completely.
Soludoz powder sachets are easy to transport and store,weighing up to ten times less and taking up to five times less space than equivalent liquid products.No longer having to make journeys to and from purpose-made dosing stations moving heavy made-up solutions to where they are needed saves valuable time.With Soludoz cleaners can simply take with them a day or week’s supply of doses in a COSHH-marked plastic bag Soluble sachets also solve waste disposal headaches.The powder held within the small cleverly engineered Soludoz sachets simply dissolves on contact with water, leaving absolutely no wastage or mess.
The measured doses guaranteed by Soludoz can also save money when compared to liquid concentrates, which make it more difficult to ensure a correct dosage every time.
Add too much water and the solution and the chemical will not clean sufficiently. Add too little and the over-concentrated solution may lead to substantial costs from damage to a surface being cleaned.
The Soludoz range includes chemicals for most commonly undertaken cleaning tasks including perfumed and nonperfumed hard surface cleaners (Soludoz BIB 125); Soludoz Neutral for polished and sensitive surfaces; Soludoz Degreasant; Soludoz HP800 cleaner and sanitiser for food preparation areas and Soludoz Disinfectants. Also available are Soludoz dishwashing products and Soludoz Laundry powder.
New users who have been introduced to the Soludoz concept have quickly warmed to it, finding that it really has made dosing safer, simpler,more convenient and virtually impossible to get wrong.
Anything that helps cleaners to do the job more quickly and easily makes a compelling business proposition. More articles from P V A Hygiene Ltd: |
