Gauze impregnated with wet sweeping, why?
For many years, classic sweeping called “dry sweeping” was widely used. With the emergence of HACCP standards where dry sweeping was simply prohibited in food preparation areas, wet sweeping became essential.
Indeed, wet sweeping was originally mainly used in medical (hospital) or paramedical environments for reasons of hygiene and limiting the proliferation of germs in the atmosphere.
To get a clear idea of the effectiveness of wet sweeping, you need to remember a few figures.
Dry sweeping such as a fiber broom puts 80% of (fine) dust back into suspension in the air.
A sweep with impregnated cotton-type gauze restores 40%.
An impregnated sweeping gauze only resuspends 15 to 20% depending on the quality of the gauze and the surface to be cleaned (smooth).
These figures themselves demonstrate the need to implement wet sweeping with impregnated gauze .
These gauzes are available in several formats, the most common being 60x30 cm, allowing them to adapt to standard 60 cm wide trapezoidal brooms.
The color is often associated with a weight of gauze with pink corresponding to 20 grs/m2 and yellow 45 to 50 grs/m2.
The impregnation of the gauze and the quality of the product are key parameters for the effectiveness of the gauze. A poorly impregnated or dry gauze will of course not be effective.
Impregnated gauze for efficient and hygienic wet sweeping
Wet sweeping is an essential method for eliminating dust and maintaining a clean and hygienic environment in hospital and community settings. One of the most effective solutions to make wet sweeping even more efficient is the use of impregnated gauze.
What is pink impregnated gauze?
Pink Impregnated Gauze is a cleaning tool specially designed for wet sweeping. It is made from
premium quality fibers , offering great absorption capacity and excellent wear resistance. The impregnated gauze is pre-treated with disinfection agents to effectively eliminate germs and bacteria present on surfaces. Its pink color allows it to be visually distinguished from other gauze, thus facilitating its identification during use.
The benefits of pink impregnated gauze
Pink impregnated gauze has many advantages over traditional cleaning methods. Here are some of its main advantages:
- Cleaning efficiency: The pink impregnated gauze allows for deep cleaning of surfaces, effectively removing dirt, dust and bacteria. It offers better adhesion to particles, thus guaranteeing optimal cleaning results.
- Reinforced hygiene: Thanks to its prior treatment with disinfection agents, the pink impregnated gauze helps maintain a hygienic environment by eliminating germs and bacteria. This makes it ideal for use in hospitals and communities.
- Ease of use: The pink impregnated gauze is easy to use. It can be attached to a broom specially designed for the use of impregnated gauze, thus guaranteeing easy handling and effective cleaning.
- Economical and ecological: The pink impregnated gauze is disposable, which avoids the costs associated with washing and reusing traditional gauze. Plus, it's made from eco-friendly materials, helping to reduce our impact on the planet.
Uses of Impregnated Gauze
Pink impregnated gauze can be used in a variety of settings, from hospitals to offices and food service establishments. Here are some examples of common uses for pink impregnated gauze:
- Hospital Settings: In hospitals, pink impregnated gauze is widely used for cleaning floors, surfaces and medical equipment. It helps maintain a clean and hygienic environment, thereby reducing the risk of the spread of infections.
- Communities and public establishments: Communities, schools, offices and public establishments can also benefit from the use of pink impregnated gauze. It makes it possible to maintain clean and hygienic common spaces, thus ensuring the health and well-being of the people who use them.
- Maintenance professionals: Maintenance professionals will find pink impregnated gauze a valuable ally for their cleaning tasks. It will enable them to carry out their work more efficiently and provide quality service to their customers.
Wet sweeping method with impregnated gauze
The wet sweeping method with pink impregnated gauze is simple and effective. Here are the steps to follow for optimal wet sweeping:
- Preparation of the broom: Attach the pink impregnated gauze to a broom specially designed for this use. Make sure the gauze is securely attached and completely covers the surface of the broom.
- Wetting the gauze: Before starting sweeping, lightly moisten the pink impregnated gauze if it is not sufficiently impregnated. This will activate the disinfection agents and improve cleaning efficiency.
- Sweeping surfaces: Sweep the surfaces to be cleaned using regular, continuous movements. Make sure to cover the entire surface in a methodical and systematic manner.
- Regular change of gauze: When the impregnated gauze becomes too dirty or saturated with dust, replace it with new gauze. This will ensure effective cleaning and prevent dirt from spreading from one surface to another.
- Final cleaning: Once sweeping is complete, remove the impregnated gauze from the broom and dispose of it appropriately. Clean the broom with soap and water to prepare it for next use.
Complementary products for optimal disinfection
To complement the use of pink impregnated gauze and guarantee optimal disinfection, it is recommended to use complementary products. Here are some products that can be used in addition to impregnated gauze:
- Disinfectant detergents: Use
disinfectant detergents specially formulated to eliminate germs and bacteria from surfaces. Make sure you choose products that meet your specific needs and meet safety standards.
- Spray disinfectants: Spray disinfectants are handy for quickly disinfecting small areas or hard-to-reach objects. Be sure to read and follow the instructions for use for safe and effective use.
- Disinfection Kits: Disinfection kits provide a complete solution for effective cleaning and disinfection. They may include impregnated gauze, disinfectant detergents, disinfectant wipes and other essential products.
