Health Care Facilties
Green cleaning in hospitals and other health care facilities.
Hospitals and health care facilities pose unique challenges for facility maintenance professionals. Hospitals incorporate a wide variety of workspaces designed to support a multitude of functions. These spaces have different flooring surfaces, different types of contaminants and different cleaning and sanitation requirements. To satisfy all the cleaning requirements of a health care facility, floor care and sanitation professionals need a number of effective solutions and processes.
A large part of a hospital operates like a typical commercial building. Waiting rooms, meeting rooms and doctors offices require cleaning processes and schedules similar to a busy office complex. Other parts of the hospital, like the emergency room, examination rooms and testing labs pose other problems requiring more intense cleaning programs. High risk areas like operating theatres have the most stringent needs for sanitation and clean floors to reduce the risk of patient infections. Every year almost 100,000 people die from these Hospital Acquired Illnesses (HAI) sometimes known as nosocomial infections. It is estimated that 1.7 million of these infections occur annually which represents about 5 to 10 percent of hospitalized patients. Many of these infections are thought be preventable which could reduce the nations annual health care costs by nearly $20 billion. Though improved floor care and sanitation practices won’t prevent the spread of all HAI’s, improved methods of facility cleaning may drastically reduce these numbers.
But providing all of the solutions required in a hospital or health care facility is not the only challenge for the cleaning professional. Hospitals work around the clock with a mostly immobile population that cannot be isolated from scheduled cleaning operations. Hospitals require floor surfaces that are slip resistant with a low gloss level to prevent confusion to patients with cognitive challenges. And hospitals are not immune to severe budget cuts and environmental regulations that affect the type and frequency of every cleaning operation. To be successful in the health care market, cleaning professionals need to choose effective solutions designed to address all of these needs.
Amano Pioneer Eclipse offers a broad line of green flooring products to satisfy the challenges faced everyday in hospital and health care facilities. Appropriately named EnviroStar Green®, this environmental preferred system includes floor strippers, cleaners, coatings and maintainers. These chemicals minimize unwanted toxins, fragrances and odors that could cause adverse reactions in cleaning staff, medical personnel and resident patients. These same characteristics help to reduce the impact these treatments have on the environment. EnviroStar Green chemicals contain:

EnviroStar Green chemicals are developed specifically as environmentally preferred solutions. The chemists who created these products did not simply remove harmful agents from a standard formulation to meet certain standards. On the contrary, EnviroStar Green products contain chemistry specifically designed to produce excellent results while reducing their impact on both the indoor and outdoor environment. This performance along with the added durability of EnviroStar Green floor coatings means less money and time are spent on expensive stripping and recoating operations.
Lowering floor maintenance costs is just one aspect of a successful cleaning program. Maintaining the health and comfort of patients and doctors – 24 hours a day - with minimal disruption is critical in any medical facility. By removing odors, fumes, soot, droplets and residues of toxic, cleaning chemicals from the air, facility managers can reduce illnesses and reactions caused by these contaminants. The result is a safer, healthier and happier working environment for all hospital inhabitants. Healthier environments combined with lower labor and maintenance costs are the direct benefits of selecting EnviroStar Green products.
Proper chemical selection is not the only important decision when creating an effective hospital cleaning program. The efficiency and performance of the tools used to apply those chemicals is paramount to reduce costs while maintaining a healthy environment. Amano Pioneer Eclipse manufactures a wide range of battery and propane powered equipment that includes applicators, strippers, burnishers, grinders and automatic scrubbers. All of Amano Pioneer Eclipse machines are designed to deliver maximum results with little maintenance and down time.
