Discover the essential hospital cleaning checklist and best practices for maintaining safer, cleaner healthcare facilities with Rubbermaid Commercial solutions.
Environmental cleaning is more important than ever, especially in healthcare, aged care, and commercial spaces. In Australia, strict guidelines help ensure these environments stay safe, hygienic, and free from harmful microorganisms. Healthcare facilities, for instance, follow rigorous infection prevention and control measures to protect patients and staff.
Now more than ever, hotel housekeeping staff plays a vital role in ensuring guests feel safe and comfortable during their stay; overall cleanliness is essential to guest satisfaction. By prioritising your housekeeping operation standards and protocols, there’s an opportunity to improve staff productivity while simultaneously meeting hotel goals and quality standards.
Material handling is at the heart of housekeeping and is often the most physically demanding part of the job. Whether moving supplies, cleaning tools or doing laundry, improper tools can lead to strain, fatigue and even injury.
In aged care facilities, maintaining a clean environment is more than just surface-level tidiness—it’s about creating a safe and sustainable space that promotes the well-being of older adults while preventing healthcare-associated infections.
Water conservation is crucial in aged care facilities where balancing excellent resident care and environmental responsibility is vital. Rubbermaid Commercial Products (RCP) offers innovative solutions that help reduce water usage effectively, as demonstrated in various case studies.
The stakes for maintaining impeccable cleanliness and ensuring resident safety are high in aged care. And, the need for meticulous scheduling and auditing of cleaning activities compounds the complexity of these tasks.
Cleanliness and hygiene are essential in all crowded environments, and this is no different for schools, from the early years through universities and colleges. Property and building managers, as well as cleaning companies, are responsible for maintaining a healthy environment in order to improve behaviour management and ensure the school is a pleasant and safe place to be.
As winter has set in, colds and the flu have already become prevalent across the country. In Australia, record-high influenza numbers have already been reported, especially as many people spent the last few years wearing masks and remaining isolated; mandates that have since been dropped.
Businesses that occupy a large number of patrons or have public bathroom facilities have one common problem to overcome: odour control. One particular industry that must manage this day in and day out is educational facilities.
Maintaining impeccable hygiene and cleanliness in childcare centres is not just a matter of appearance — it's a critical factor in safeguarding children's and staff's health. A clean environment helps prevent the spread of germs and illnesses, ensuring that caretakers and children remain healthy and safe.
Childcare settings provide the perfect space for kids to begin exploring their curiosity, intelligence and interests. However, if children haven’t been exposed to many other people before they join their childcare facility, they will likely begin bringing many colds and viruses home.
Childcare settings are a great place for young Australians to learn the fundamentals of socialising while having fun with their friends. It is a place where many kids develop valuable life skills, including motor skills, toilet training and speech skills.
After the devastating impacts of COVID-19, more gym owners, managers and patrons are doing the right thing to eliminate bacteria on their premises. With a promise to make these environments as safe as possible,
With constant movement, intense workouts and high foot traffic, odour control can become a significant challenge in gyms. Persistent odours from sweat and equipment can negatively impact member satisfaction and the overall perception of cleanliness.
Owning a gym is an investment. However dirty, bacteria-laden and untidy gyms often cite negative online reviews and reputation, which can turn away prospective customers. This can cut into profits and may even lead the gym down a path of a potential shutdown
Essential tasks keep the world running every day. From cleaning classrooms to maintaining hospital hygiene, this behind-the-scenes work is vital to our safety, health and productivity.
Construction and mining sites demand efficiency, but moving heavy materials isn’t always straightforward. Teams can be slowed down without the right equipment, increasing injury risks. That’s why smart material handling solutions matter.
Off the back of the COVID pandemic, functions such as weddings, birthdays and corporate events are back in full swing. For this reason, the function centres, which went largely unused for a few years, are now in high demand, some being used multiple times a day.
When considering how to sanitise high-foot traffic entertainment venues, many business owners don’t know where to start. These settings, comprising football stadiums, movie theatres and concert halls, often occupy hundreds or thousands of guests simultaneously.
Rideshare services; such as Uber, have taken the world by storm, especially in recent years. They have overtaken taxis and large portions of the transport industry due to their convenience to city residents and tourists. Though, as they serve large numbers of passengers, they can become infection-infested, particularly if they aren’t cleaned regularly.
