Typically used with 'charging buckets' (see below), Haines® Single Use Microfibre Cleaning Cloths are a highly efficient and effective choice for facilities looking to optimise infection control and organisational resources.
Not only are they quick and easy to use, Haines® Single Use Microfibre Cleaning Cloths remove an impressive 99.7% of infectious organisms, when charged with water alone (verified by independent laboratory testing*).
Other benefits include:
- Optimal cleaning power - proven to remove over 99.87% of MRSA, VRE and C. difficile*
- The repeated, high temperature laundering required with traditional, reusable cloths breaks down the fabric, reducing absorbency and effectiveness over time. Single use cloths avoid that - providing optimal performance and microbial removal with each and every use.
- Reduced risk of cross-contamination
- A 2013 study found that reusable cleaning cloths from 93% of hospitals surveyed contained viable pathogens, including coliform bacteria and spores, even after laundering and use of hospital-grade disinfectants (Sifuentes et al. 2013).1 As single use cloths are only used once, from new, they mitigate the risk of cross-contamination associated with reusable options.
- Faster patient turnaround times
- As microfibre charging buckets are pre-prepared and readily available for staff, the cleaning process can be 25-30% faster than with reusable cleaning supplies, leading to faster patient turnaround times for busy facilities (Monash Health 2014).2
- Ideal for sensitive clinical environments
- Due to the effectiveness of Haines® Single Use Microfibre Cloths when charged with water alone, they are ideal for use in nurseries, or areas where chemical sensitivity is warranted.
- Compatible with most existing microfibre charging systems
- Haines® Single Use Microfibre Cloths are compatible with common microfibre charging equipment used in Australian hospitals, providing a cost effective ‘refill’ option.
