5 Risks of Choosing Local Chemicals for Professional Needs

If you’re among those who use local chemicals for your facility, this blog is a must-read for you.

We ran an informal survey among facility owners and managers on their cleaning regimes and choice of cleaning products. Surprisingly, many continue to use local chemicals over professional products for cleaning and sanitation.

In their defence, this is what most of them said, “Local chemicals are more affordable and readily available. As a small business, we need to keep costs down and using local chemicals allows us to do that. Plus, our employees are familiar with these products and feel more comfortable using them.”

At Diversey Prosumer, we’re committed to helping businesses make informed decisions about their cleaning products. While we understand the appeal of their decision, we disagree with their approach. For short-term gains, these businesses are missing the long-term pitfalls.

That’s why we’ve put together this blog to outline the five key risks of choosing local chemicals over professional solutions. Let’s dive in.

5 Reasons to Not Choose Local Chemicals

We’ve outlined compelling reasons to steer clear of local chemicals.

#1] Health Risks

Many local chemicals don’t undergo rigorous testing and quality control measures. They may contain hazardous ingredients. Exposure to such chemicals can lead to skin irritation, respiratory problems, and even chronic illnesses.

For instance, let’s say you run a restaurant that uses local chemicals for cleaning and sanitation purposes. One of your employees accidentally spills the chemical on their skin and develops a rash. If the rash becomes severe, the employee may need to seek medical attention, which can result in lost work hours and added costs for your business.

#2] Ineffective Cleaning

The chemicals used in local products may not have the right formulation to effectively clean and sanitize the surfaces in your business. They are intended for less demanding cleaning tasks.

This can result in a higher risk of contamination, which can lead to the spread of infections and illnesses.

For instance, local chemicals used for cleaning desks, floors, and restrooms, may not effectively remove germs. So, while your surfaces may seem clean, they may not be hygienic.

#3] Damage to Surfaces

When choosing cleaning products for professional needs, it’s essential to consider the impact of these products on the surfaces you are cleaning. Many local chemicals may contain harsh ingredients that can damage or even ruin certain surfaces.

Did you know that bleach, present in local cleaning products, can damage surfaces like wood or natural stone? Over time, the bleach can break down the finish on these surfaces, causing them to discolour or even crack.

Moreover, certain surfaces may require specific cleaning agents that are not available in local chemicals. For instance, if you are cleaning stainless steel surfaces in a commercial kitchen, you need to use a specialized cleaner that is designed to protect the surface from scratches and other damage. Local chemicals surely don’t fulfil this speciality need.

#4] Non-Compliance With Regulations

Governments and regulatory bodies have set standards and guidelines for the use of chemicals in different industries. These standards are designed to protect the health and safety of workers, customers, and the environment.

Using local chemicals that do not meet regulatory requirements can result in fines, penalties, and even legal action against your business.

For example, if a restaurant uses local chemicals that are not approved for use in food preparation areas, it can result in the restaurant being shut down by regulatory authorities. This can lead to lost revenue, damage to reputation, and a significant financial burden for the business owner.

#5] Negative Impact on the Environment

Harmful ingredients present in the local chemicals can harm the environment when they are not properly disposed of. Additionally, local chemicals can persist in the environment for extended periods.

For example, local chemicals contain harmful ingredients that can harm aquatic life if they end up in local waterways.

Furthermore, when businesses use chemicals that are not environmentally friendly, they are contributing to the accumulation of pollution in the environment.

How to Avoid Limescale Build-up in Your Bathroom Like a Pro

Discover the advantages of switching to water-based air fresheners for a healthier and eco-friendly space.

Picture this: Your hotel’s housekeeping staff just spent hours cleaning the hotel bathrooms, scrubbing every nook and cranny until they are sparkling clean. But as they step back to admire their hard work, they notice something that makes their heart sink — stubborn limescale stains that just won’t budge. Familiar situation?

The solution is not to switch to any other bathroom cleaner, but one that can help you avoid scale-up deposition in the future.

Herein, we will introduce you to a professional-grade bathroom cleaner from Diversey Prosumer that can help you resolve this concern smartly and swiftly.

By the end of this blog, you’ll have the knowledge to keep your bathroom looking and functioning at its best, and also save time and money in the long run. Let’s dive in.

But first, let’s understand how grave this problem is.

What Is Limescale and Where Does It Come From?

Limescale, also known as calcium carbonate, is a hard, chalky white substance that can build up on showerheads, faucets, and toilets. It’s a result of hard water that contains high levels of dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium.

When hard water flows through pipes and fixtures, it leaves behind small amounts of these minerals. Over time, these minerals can accumulate and form a hard, crusty deposit called limescale.

Why Is Limescale Bad?

Limescale can be bad for several reasons.

● Damage to Bathroom Fixtures

Over time, limescale can build up to the point where it interferes with the proper functioning of the fixtures. It can cause leaks, clogs, or reduce the water flow. In some cases, the damage may be severe enough that the fixture may need to be replaced entirely.

● Unsightly Appearance

Limescale deposits can create a white or yellowish crusty layer on tiles, sinks, and toilets. This unsightly build-up can make the bathroom look unclean and neglected, even if it is regularly cleaned. It can lead to negative reviews and potential loss of business.

● Reduced Water Pressure

When limescale builds up inside pipes, showerheads or faucets, it can narrow their opening. This narrowing of the opening can restrict the flow of water and reduce water pressure.

● Increased Energy Costs

Limescale inside water heaters, pipes, and other appliances can act as an insulator.

For example, limescale can form a layer on the heating element of a water heater, which makes it harder for the heat to transfer from the element to the water.

Consequently, the water heater has to work harder and use more energy to heat the same amount of water. This increased energy usage leads to higher energy bills.

● Health Risks

Limescale deposits can create a porous surface that can trap moisture. The trapped moisture can:

  • Promote mould growth, which can exacerbate the issue.
  • Encourage the growth of pathogens, leading to unpleasant odours in the bathroom. These microorganisms can pose health risks to people with weakened immune systems or respiratory problems.

How to Effectively Avoid Limescale Build-up?

Say goodbye to frustrating limescale build-up in your hotel bathroom with these three easy-to-follow steps.

A] Use Crew Bathroom Cleaner and Descaler

5 Restroom Cleaning Hacks You Must Know

Your guide to keeping your restroom clean and hygienic

When it comes to restroom cleaning, two aspects come to mind. One is getting rid of germs; the other is cleaning stains.

It is common knowledge that a dirty washroom is a breeding ground for disease-causing germs and can lead to a spate of infections. Stains in a toilet make it seem uninviting. A clean restroom reflects the overall cleanliness of the facility and assures the user of the hygiene and safety of the place.

Use professional-grade cleaning agents to keep your restroom clean and sanitised. This blog lists 5 tips that will ensure you score a 10 on 10 always for commercial restroom cleaning.

Tip #1 — Relocate items

Move all items of utility and aesthetics in the restroom to a safe area before you begin the cleaning. These items include flower vases, tissue boxes, room deodorizers and sprays. It is best to keep them out of the restroom until the cleaning is completed to avoid an accidental fall or inconvenience during cleaning.

Tip #2 — Ensure safety

After you have shifted the items to a safe space outside the restroom, don your safety gloves and cleaning wear. You may be wondering about the need for safety in a mere cleaning of the toilet. But these pieces of equipment are necessary to prevent contact with any accidental spill or cleaning solution

Tip #3 — Use specialised cleaning solutions

Use professional-grade Crew Toilet Bowl Cleaner to clean the toilet bowl and Crew Bathroom Cleaner and Descaler to clean the restroom.

Say Goodbye To Grimy-Looking Bathroom Fittings

Your easy guide to good-looking bathrooms

Hotel rooms — What makes the first impression?

A great hotel experience is about indulgence. Your hotel room could offer guests uninterrupted relaxation and unwinding through sophisticated décor, brilliant room views and fine services but none of these factors will make an impact if your guests find your hotel bathroom less than sparkling clean and hygienic. Guests usually judge the cleanliness of a room by the state of its sanitation.

Also, most of the guests prefer to inspect the bathroom first as soon as they check into the room. So, if you want your hotel room to set the right impression first, make sure your bathroom fittings are clean and hygienic right from the start.

No grime, no germs.

What makes a bathroom dingy and dirty?

Well, we did an exhaustive Google search on elements that define an unkempt bathroom, and some of the top searches were soap scum and mould or dirt in the grout surrounding and, on the floor. But what spurs the formation of grime?

Soap scum is formed when soap is used in hard water. This scaly formation is usually caused when minerals present in tap water combine with soap and dirt over the surfaces in our bathrooms. Places with hard water are much more likely to report a build-up of soap scum, which if left for too long could be difficult to remove.

According to Dr. Neeta Ogden, a spokesperson for the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, frequent running water in the bathroom leads to a build-up of a moist and humid environment that is excellent for the mould to thrive. Unclean, wet surfaces spur mould growth.

Mould loves the corners and nooks between the tiles. The bathroom environment and the constant usage of water is the perfect ground for the mould to grow. The remnant soap scum could combine with mould or mildew and lead to discolouration and odour.

The secret to maintaining bathroom cleanliness

A regular cleaning schedule and usage of the best professional bathroom cleaner are the two ways of ensuring that your hotel bathroom stays squeaky clean. You could choose from an array of bathroom cleaning products available in the marketplace. But make sure they tick the necessary criteria — potency, affordability and scalability. Crew Bathroom Cleaner and Descaler from Diversey Prosumer is the most perfect solution.

This bathroom cleaner and descaler comes with 3 in 1 action formula: It descales, deodourises and cleans hygienically. It is a fully formulated cleaner for cleaning all fittings and walls in the bathroom — sinks, bathtubs, tiles, and fittings like taps, soap holders, and showers.

Benefits:

  • Specifically formulated for use in hard water conditions.
  • Is ideal for cleaning bathroom wall surfaces.
  • Can also be used to clean bathroom floor.
  • Avoids scratching surfaces.
  • Contains actives that prevent scale deposition.
  • Ensures scale removal.
  • Is concentrated for economy of use.
  • Deodorizes and removes stains, ensuring optimum bathroom hygiene.

How to use:

For normal soilage

Step 1: Use 15ml to dilute 1L of water.

Step 2: Spray onto a clean microfibre cloth/sponge and apply to all surfaces to be cleaned.

Step 3: Scrub to remove stains. Clean metal surfaces and fittings thoroughly.

Step 4: Rinse with plain water.

Step 5: Clean and wipe flush handles, seat covers and the outer bowl, after cleaning the toilet bowl.

Step 6: Polish metal surfaces to leave them smear-free.

Step 7: Spray and wipe for daily maintenance.

Bonus content — Microfibre cloth to spruce up your bathroom

A microfibre cloth is the best accompaniment for Crew Bathroom Cleaner and Descaler. It is soft, tough and can absorb liquids well. It serves as a perfect material for cleaning. By using a microfiber cloth, you could reduce the usage of our cleaner and end up saving a lot of time and money.

When cleaning:

  • Faucets: A slight rubbing with a microfibre cloth could bring back the shine to life.
  • Bathtub: Allow Crew Bathroom Cleaner and Descaler to sit for some time in the tub, then rinse it with water and wipe it dry with a microfibre cloth.
  • Shower enclosure: Wiping its glass panels with our cleaner will eliminate the build-up of soapy, hard water.
  • Toilet bowl: Apply Crew Bathroom Cleaner and Descaler to the toilet bowl to avoid ring formation at the water level. Rinse and wipe dry for a stain-free and sparkling bowl.
  • Bathroom tiles: To keep the grout in between the tiles look fresh, apply our cleaner, scrub it with an old toothbrush and wipe dry with a microfibre cloth. The tiles will look fresh, laden and new.

To Conclude

Set the best impression every time by keeping your bathroom squeaky clean with Crew Bathroom Cleaner and Descaler and following the above guidelines. You will be delighted to see your guest satisfaction score soar.

3 Tips To Keep High Traffic Areas In Your Facility Clean

Maintaining cleanliness of high-traffic areas is not as difficult as it seems. Here’s how.

First things first — What is a high-traffic facility?

Simply put, it is that area or facility that has heavy foot traffic and human activity. Typical examples — a gym, café, restaurant, supermarket, shopping mall, workspace, school and entrances and exits of all buildings. And, these facilities experience varying levels of mess and dirt, making them susceptible to infection and germ spread.

Why is cleaning a super challenge for a high-traffic facility?

The singular and obvious reason is the constant movement of people in the facility. Imagine swabbing a large part of your facility’s floor 5 minutes back only to be dirtied by the mud-ridden shoes of your customer.

Will you leave the mud stains, or will you clean the floor ASAP? You know the response.

The Cost of Dirt

Many people consider cleanliness as the most important factor for consumers when evaluating a restaurant or a hotel.

Similarly, gym-goers expect their gym to be germ-free. Restaurants, hotels and gyms aren’t the only high-traffic places where dirt and mess are deterrents. Would you like to step into:

  • An unkempt clinic?

  • A dirty supermarket?

  • An unhygienic and stinking restroom?

The appreciation of cleanliness is universal and perhaps the single-most factor for devaluing your facility’s worth. Let’s face it, no one likes to be in an unclean facility. And, mind you, an unclean floor is just one of the examples of constant mess and dirt in a high-traffic facility.

So, how to tackle this situation? By imbibing the below-mentioned Best Practices into your cleaning programme.

#1] Create a cleaning checklist

Determine what areas need cleanliness and what areas need sanitization. Create a detailed cleaning guidelines sheet that mentions the:

  • Cleaning products to be used

  • Frequency of cleaning and sanitization

  • Manner of cleaning

  • Staff responsible for cleaning

  • Tips to avoid cross-contamination

#2] Mat All Your Entries

You could avoid the mess of muddy floors and the burden of repetitive floor cleaning by providing mats at all entryways. This practice will make visitors wipe their feet, so they don’t track mud into the office. And, remember to clean entryway mats frequently, or else the purpose is defeated.

Abrasion from dust is also the major cause of rapid deterioration of shine from floor types, such as marble, kota or vinyl. Arresting the dust at the entrance itself goes a long way towards maintaining these floors’ shine for a long time, thus reducing the cost in the restoration process.

#3] Use the right cleaning products

Use non-toxic, hypoallergenic products that won’t inconvenience people and also serve the purpose.

Diversey Prosumer Solutions offers eva-based urinal screen

It provides a controlled and consistent fragrance release, using proprietary polymerized fragrances and a polymer-based delivery system.

To Conclude

At the end of the day, it is also important to nurture a mindset of cleanliness in your facility. Set up cleaning and hand-sanitizing stations in high-traffic areas. Have sign boards and posters to remind people about healthy habits. Hold your staff accountable for cleaning.

This culture along with following the above-stated guidelines will help you make cleaning hassle-free and more productive for your high-traffic facility, which in turn will result in a better maintained and cost-saving facility.

And, when it comes to effective, cost-effective, hassle-free, 100% safe, and swift housekeeping, trust Diversey Prosumer’s Crew Housekeeping portfolio.

Bathroom Cleaning Cleaning Urinal Screen
By Diversey February 3, 2022

Why Is EVA-based Urinal Screen The Right Choice For Your Restroom?

Why EVA-Based Urinal Screen? Because it goes beyond making restrooms stink-free.

Let’s get to the basics first — What is a urinal screen?

Urinal screens are small items that you would find inside the surface of the urinal. They are designed to mask restroom odours. They trap the odour of uric salts that are present in urine and also eliminate the splashes in the surrounding area.

With the evolution in technology, urinal screens now present themselves as an effective means to make sure urinal drains are free flowing. These screens fit over the drain and act as a net to catch debris, such as cigarettes, paper, and other refuse. Urinal screens are made from vinyl plastic. This material is tough, stain-resistant, and long-lasting.

 

But isn’t plastic undesirable?

Absolutely! Hence, there is an improvement in the design of the urinal screens. The modern-day urinal screens are made of a polymer called EVA. For the uninitiated, a polymer is a class of natural or synthetic substances that are composed of large molecules called macromolecules.

These macromolecules are multiples of simpler chemical units called monomers. Polymers make many of the materials in living organisms, such as proteins, cellulose, and nucleic acids. They are building blocks of natural materials, such as diamond and quartz, and man-made materials, such as concrete and plastics.

What makes EVA a better candidate?

EVA or Ethylene-vinyl acetate is the copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate. It is an extremely elastic and tough thermoplastic of great clarity and gloss and with little odour. EVA is a safer option than vinyl plastic as it is considered non-toxic. Also, it is considered eco-friendly, as it is BPA- free and is devoid of chlorides, heavy metals, phenols, latex, and other toxic substances.


EVA is a safer alternative to products that use vinyl plastic. Moreover, it is also recyclable and reusable. EVA has found acceptance in common everyday products, such as baby teethers and footwear.

To conclude, EVA is eco-friendlier and safer. EVA is odorless but it could be permeated through its volume with fragrances. This allows for the perfume to last longer as compared to screens that are not made of EVA, where perfume is present just on the surface and gets diffused in the atmosphere quickly. EVA is what enables the Slow Release Technology in urinal screens.

Which EVA-based urinal screens should you opt for?

The answer is Crew Urinal Screen. It comes from the House of Diversey, a company that has decades of expertise and experience in manufacturing housekeeping cleaning products. Their Crew housekeeping portfolio comprises an extensive range of professional-grade products that tackle every cleaning and hygiene challenge.

Crew Urinal Screen is an EVA-based urinal screen, made with recyclable EVA polymer, making it environment-friendly. It is disposable too. You could discard it after all the perfume has diffused in the atmosphere. It is also economical for everyday usage. Moreover, it is available in four refreshing fragrances — Dewy Green, Lavender Spray, Jasmine Mist, and Melon Burst.

How does Crew Urinal Screen work?

It releases a fragrance in a controlled and consistent manner so that when customers use the urinal, they smell a pleasant scent instead of foul urine. Our urinal screen masks odours so effectively that you don’t need an external fragrance system at all!

Stage #2 — Uses Slow Release Technology

Crew Urinal Screen uses proprietary polymerized fragrances along with the EVA-based delivery system. To put it simply, the screen releases fragrance for a long period, making sure that the washroom experience stays fresh even after the urinal is washed off by water.

To Conclude

In today’s times when plastic is being flushed out in massive proportions into marine environments, there is a greater need to opt for a material that helps us in conserving the environment.

The answer is clear — EVA polymer. And, when it comes to eliminating urine odours in the restroom, better sense prevails in going beyond regular cleaning of the urinals and moving to a new fragrance system with Crew EVA-based Urinal Screen.

How Does A Urinal Screen Work?

How does a urinal screen work? A quick read on controlling urinal odours effectively in your business facility.

Does your facility’s restroom have a smelly situation?

Do you get your restroom cleaned frequently during the day and still face this concern? Are you short-staffed and unable to clean the restroom frequently? Are you looking for an effective and affordable solution for this restroom odour?

Help is around the corner! This blog presents you with a solution to eliminate your stinky restroom worry as quickly as saying 1, 2, 3. Read on!

But first, let us understand — Why do urinals stink?

Urine is a waste product produced in human kidneys. It contains urea, trace salts, hormones, and other components that lend a natural odour to it. Uric acid present in the urine causes harmful bacteria to build up inside the urinal. It is this bacterial accumulation that produces odours. Higher the bacterial accumulation, the greater the odour.

To be exact — As per a research article by Udet et al., 2003, urea present in human urine is hydrolysed to result in odour in urinals. An enzyme called urease turns urea into ammonia and carbamate. Carbamate decomposes instantaneously to carbonic acid, forming another molecule of ammonia. The bacteria use the components of urine as a food source, leading to the formation of end products that emanate foul odour.

 

What is the easiest way to get rid of this stink?

From the above explanation, it is clear that you need a solution that acts every time a customer uses the urinal. The best solution to this problem is a urinal screen. The purpose of a urinal screen is to mask restroom odours. They mask the odour of uric salts that are present in urine. 

So, is it sufficient to use any urinal screen? Certainly not! You certainly don’t have the time to confirm the usage of the urinal time and again. This is why you need one that is scientifically tested for effectiveness, is reliable, and has got a thumbs up from commercial space owners for long. You need Crew Urinal Screen.

Why use Crew Urinal Screen?

Diversey Prosumer Solutions offers eva-based urinal screen

Because it comes from the House of Diversey. Diversey has decades of expertise and experience in manufacturing housekeeping cleaning solutions. Crew housekeeping portfolio comprises an extensive range of professional-grade products that tackle every cleaning and hygiene challenge.

How does a Urinal Screen work?

This urinal screen by Crew works in two stages:

Stage #1 — Acts as a new fragrance system

Crew Urinal Screen does more than simply act as a barrier. It releases a fragrance in a controlled and consistent manner so that when customers use the urinal, they smell a pleasant scent instead of the foul urine. Our urinal screen neutralizes odours so effectively that you don’t need an external fragrance system at all!

 

Stage #2 — Uses cutting-edge technology

Crew Urinal Screen uses proprietary polymerized fragrances along with a polymer-based delivery system. In Crew Urinal Screen, the fragrance is embedded throughout the volume, not just on the surface of the product.

This is the reason why it releases fragrances over a period of time, not just for the first few days or hours of usage. Also, as the perfume is embedded in the body, it is not washed off with water or urine.

How long does Crew Urinal Screen last?

Usage of a urinal screen is debatable. The durability of a urinal screen depends on:

  • Customer footfall in the restroom

  • The volume of water and urine flushed over the screen

Considering all of the above factors, Crew Urinal Screen would typically last for 20 to 30 days, making it economical and effective in comparison to other products in the market.

Directions for Use

Step 1 — Place Crew Urinal Screen on the urinal bowl.

Step 2 —Replace the urinal screen when there is no fragrance left, or when you smell odours in the restroom.

Note: Remove Crew Urinal Screen when using chemicals for cleaning the urinal. Replace the urinal screen when completed with the cleaning.

To Conclude

Simply cleaning your facility’s urinals is not enough. To eliminate urine odors, go beyond cleaning and disinfection of the urinals. Get Crew Urinal Screen to eliminate odour from the restroom consistently without burning a hole in your pocket.

With this urinal screen, your visitors and customers will get to experience a fresh restroom throughout the day. Explore Diversey’s Crew housekeeping portfolio to keep up that benchmark of a clean and pleasant restroom experience.

Quick Solutions For Your Hotel Bathroom Cleaning

Cleaning the hotel bathroom will never be tedious again. Know how!

A question for the housekeeping staff!
We asked the housekeeping staff of some hotels — “What is the most tedious part of hotel room cleaning?”

Over 90% of them responded: Hotel bathrooms.

Here’s the thing — the housekeeping staff finds a task tedious, which incidentally is the most important aspect that a guest is looking for

In a survey conducted by Diversey in collaboration with the Hotelschool The Hague, cleanliness of the hotel bathroom ranks at the top for delivering a great impression to hotel guests. According to this survey, a clean bathroom ranks at 4.68 on a scale of 5.

So, why is hotel bathroom cleaning a tedious task for the staff? Because, it takes a lot of time and effort to keep the bathroom squeaky clean, fragrant, and pristine.

Most of the time, the staff’s cleaning cart has different products with different applications. Many of these products either fail to deliver the goods quickly or are so expensive that their constant usage is not encouraged.
