Midlands
Region meeting of the British Institute of
Cleaning Science at Birmingham Metropolitan
College.
Atrocious
Leaving floors soaking wet with a dangerous
scum film to be created is unacceptable, he told
delegates.
These atrocious work habit related problems
are being created every day in schools, restaurants,
hospitals, shopping centres and
thousands of other locations up and down the
country and throughout |
|
the world. “In modern terms it is totally unacceptable,”
said Mr Young. “These faults should be illegal.”
He told the meeting it was time for BICSc to put ‘science’ to work.
“These things can be measured and identified.
My company has spent over £11 million and 10
years solving these problems, which have
existed since Roman times,” he continued.
“So far the only attempt to create a solution
has been to drag a microfibre wet towel over the
floor |
|
for just 200 sq ft then send it to be
laundered.
“This is farcical, yet infection control people
are supporting this ludicrous, ineffective
practice.
“Creating mountains of laundry and shifting
dirt and germs around is not going to produce
effective infection control, nor is it going to
produce efficient low-cost cleaning.
“Science needs to step in here and go to work,
then issue clear-cut statements on best practice
or ineffectual procedure.” |
