What is E Coli and how can you prevent it?

Monday, September 21st, 2009

E Coli is very prominent in the news at the moment due to several cases in Surrey involving young children.

The BBC website has a page which explains the virus, how it is contracted and how to avoid it.  See below:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/83169.stm

To avoid the virus, hygiene is of paramount importance, in particular:

- Keep your hands clean to avoid faecal contamination

- Try to avoid touching your face with your hands unless they are clean

- Clean hard surfaces with a disinfectant regularly

We can provide a range of cleaning products for your workplace which actually prevent the E Coli virus.  This range includes:

- Disinfectant Wipes that are kind to skin and safe for the environment and a range of surfaces

- Disinfectant Handwash that is kind to your skin and keeps you protected from the virus when used regularly

- Anti-Microbial Cleanser either with no smell or a pleasant raspberry smell for your hard and soft surfaces

- Anti-Microbial Hand Rub for using in addition to washing your hands to provide protection from E Coli.

We can provide these products to you for any environment you wish to prevent the spread of the E Coli virus.  Contact us for more information at:

During the redesign of our website, we added a document that we feel is a must for all conciencious Facilities Managers, Office Managers and key personnel who deal with cleaning contracts.

We have designed the form to enable you to review your current cleaning services whether you feel its just time for a review or you are looking to change cleaning contractors.  We feel it is a good starting point to look into the main parts of your cleaning service, i.e. Management of the Contract, Staff, Communication etc which are important in any contract.

The Audit Form asks you questions and you have room on the form to make notes on your findings.  We have also included on the form our Shipshape standards as a guide to what we do as a comparison.

Our audit form can be found by going to the homepage on our website.

Christmas is coming….time to arrange your Christmas Decorations

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

As we are just going through a bit of a heatwave here in the South East, it seems ridiculous to start thinking about Christmas.

However, to ensure in our office environments we are prepared for the festive season, now is a good time to start looking at companies who can take the hassle out of office Christmas Decorations.

One of our services in the office environment is to provide dressed Christmas Trees, Garlands and Floral displays for the Christmas period.

Artificial Trees are the best choice for large atruims with difficult access and the largest trees we supply, 30ft and 40ft, need just a regular doorway.  In addition artificial trees have more decorations than the live trees and can be installed in late November, giving you even more value for money.

One of the biggest benefits to any employer using our service is the Health & Safety responsibility.  In some companies staff perch on all types of office furniture to daggle and drape all manner of festive ornaments.  Swivel chairs that they normally wouldn’t dream of standing up on, become office stepping stones with wheels and causes a real H&S nightmare!

Contact us directly on 01494 468989 or fill out your request on our Contact Us page and we will happily come and visit your site for a no obligation personalised quotation to take some of the stress out of Christmas…..
