Spearhead Healthcare – The Platinum Plan
The Platinum Plan is a complete cleaning program for the care industry. It has been designed to help Care Homes save money whilst improving efficiency and hygiene throughout the Care Home. Everything within the Plan has been meticulously researched in order to allow Care Homes to keep on top of Infection Control procedures; the entire Platinum range is colour-coded to make adhering to the guidelines easy. Thus, the Platinum Plan offers a complete holistic approach to Care Home cleaning that cuts through the confusion and fragmentation commonly found in industry cleaning plans. The Platinum range includes 25 high quality cleaning chemicals that have been specially developed to provide a solution for every Care Home cleaning situation. Complying with all necessary British standards, many of these chemicals are multi-purpose, minimizing the number of bottles to be stored and thus assisting with adherence to COSHH regulations. A significant number of these chemicals are available as concentrates; we provide dosing pumps to ensure correct dilution. This prevents wastage and provides an easy, economical solution to spiraling cleaning costs. Platinum is, however, so much more than product range. The aim of the Plan is to make cleaning easier. When you sign up for Platinum you also receive the binder, an essential piece of time-saving kit. The binder includes: Comprehensive documentation Safety data sheets Risk assessments Cleaning guides Logbooks for cleaners With the binder, you have one place for everything – reordering codes, safety data sheets, schedules – everything you need is in one place. Most importantly, we have done the leg-work for you! Care Home staff will no longer need to spend time searching for safety data or gathering loose sheets of paper. With Platinum Plan, you will have more time to focus on the most important thing, your residents. Should you require a replacement sheet, new copies can be obtained quickly from our website. Many are designed for you to print out instantaneously! When you sign up to the Platinum Plan, we will provide in-house training on COSHH regulations with training and display materials. We will also include a list of our Platinum compatible cleaning equipment, all of which is colour coded to assist with adherence to Infection Control guidelines. All product codes for chemicals and equipment are listed clearly in the binder, allowing you to reorder without having to go searching through catalogues and brochures. The Platinum Plan is provided by Spearhead Healthcare, who are based in Irvine, Scotland. It is available throughout the UK, and we provide a Next Day shipping service where possible.
Duplex Cleaning Machines
Duplex advocate, Tracey Kirkland who is Head Housekeeper of a large care home in Surrey commented recently: – I work in a large care home where in recent years we introduced the Duplex cleaning machine to our range of cleaning appliances. We found the Duplex machine to be very user friendly and light enough to be suitable for all users. The cleaning power of the machine is incredible. The Duplex is not only easy to manoeuvre around but very quiet compared to the other cleaning machines I use. Also, there are no nasty chemicals used – it works by steaming – which is environmentally friendly, a very important factor with our residents in mind. You have only to watch the machine work to see how powerful it is on hard floor surfaces, it is amazing and I have used many machines but none clean and sanitize like the Duplex. The surface of the cleaned area is dry almost immediately which reduces the risk of slips and falls immensely. Not only does the Duplex clean hard floors, it also cleans carpets of urine, faeces and other spillages common in a care home but again leaves the carpet with very little drying time required which is an asset in this environment. On first receiving the Duplex cleaning machine we were given a full installation and training session by a Duplex representative – all was explained clearly and all our questions were answered in clear simple terminology! If you are thinking of purchasing a new machine for cleaning carpets and hard floors why not just book a demonstration. Find out more
