Bowl player and the most productive
quarterback in the history of the
Washington Redskins. Later that
evening, he found himself in a hospital
bed with a compound fracture to his leg,
shattering both his career and his boyhood dream. At age 35, he faced starting

Recasting Financial Statements for
Max Profit
Dr. Bart Basi
The problem with most tax returns is
that they are prepared with the goal of
reducing tax liability within the letter of
the law. Obtaining credit or finding a
buyer for your business becomes impossible when using documents prepared for
this purpose. While you may be creditworthy or your businesses may be attractive to buyers, professionally prepared,
recasted statements or a valuation prepared by experts will get you the funds
you seek. Discover what you need to
know and do this in easy to understand
laymen's terms.

SCA'S NEW, COST-EFFECTIVE TORK PERFORMANCE
WIPER DISPENSER LINE
IMPROVES EFFICIENCY AND CLEANLINESS
Building on SCA's commitment to
providing innovative and energy-efficient
cleaning products, the company recently
unveiled Performance™ a new line of
wiper dispensers. The line is engineered
to serve as a functional and reliable commodity while reducing costs, improving
hygiene and decreasing waste.
"The ergonomic design provides the
strength and durability needed for
demanding industrial settings," said John
Drengler, Vice President Product and
Marketing for SCA Tissue North
America. "The dispenser colors work
well in environments from foodservice
kitchens and healthcare facilities, to
maintenance shops and production
floors."
Performance wiper dispensers and
product refills are ideal for kitchen and
food preparation environments, industrial
facilities and other hygiene-sensitive
areas as they protect the wiper from dirt,
grease and germs, preventing cross-contamination. The dispensers are also available in high-capacity models for more
substantial tasks. Wall and mobile floor
stands are offered for larger rolls.
Each dispenser in the Tork
Performance line is tailored to help control consumption, thus decreasing refill
and disposal costs.
Several of the wiper options in the
Tork Universal and Advanced series are
100 percent recycled and third-party certified by EcoLogoCM. Models are available in red/smoke and aqua/white colors.

More Costly Green Products Are More Desirable
At first, Green Cleaning was simply
ignored in the jansan world, then it was
considered a fad, but now it’s the primary
trend in the professional cleaning industry.
Environmentally friendly products
are now used for just about everything,
ranging from bamboo towels to Green
cleaning products.
But according to a new study by
Viadas Griskevicius, Assistant Professor
of Marketing at the University of
Minnesota’s
Carlson
School
of
Management, this may be because Green
products are now seen as a status symbol
in some market segments.*
"Green purchases are often motivated by status," he says. "People want to be
seen as altruistic. Nothing communicates
that better than buying Green products,
even if they cost more or are inferior to
comparable, non-Green products [but are
seen as] benefiting the environment for
everyone.”
As an example, Griskevicius uses the
Toyota Prius. Although the car is considerably more expensive than others in its
size category, “[It] essentially functions
as a mobile, self-promoting billboard for
pro-environmentalism. When you publicly display your environmentally friendly nature, you send a signal [to others]
that you care."
Professor Griskevicius based his
study on online purchasing patterns. He
found that when online shoppers make
practicality the focus of their buying decision, the cost of a product is their key concern--not how Green it is.
Similarly, when the emphasis of the
purchasing decision is on luxury and
comfort, once again the environmental
responsibility of the product is of little to
no concern.
Interestingly, as to costs, the study
also found that more expensive Green
products may actually “increase the desirability” of those products because they are
once again viewed as a status symbol to
display in front of others.
However, while these trends may be
evident among some consumers, those in
the jansan industry should note that such
sentiments are not usually present in other
settings.
“This may be true for the consumer
market,” says Mike Sawchuk, Vice
President of Enviro-Solutions, a manufacturer of Green cleaning products, and
Charlotte Products, responding to the
study.
“But I can say with confidence it is
not true of today’s end-users. They want
proven-Green products that perform and
are cost competitive. Status is not part of
the equation.”
*University of Minnesota (2010,
March 16). "People will forgo luxury for
Green products when status is on mind,
researcher finds." 10-ISSA-Wednesday

Nilfisk-Advance launches the cleaning industry’s first
comprehensiveonline training and learning resource
Nilfisk-Advance, Inc., parent company for cleaning equipment brands
including Advance, Clarke, Nilfisk CFM,
Viper and US Products, has launched
Nilfisk University, the industry’s first
comprehensive online training and support platform. Nilfisk University is an
online, knowledge-based educational
community that provides innovative and
effective methods for teaching, learning
and exchanging information that will
help Nilfisk-Advance dealers and
employees better serve customers and
gain a competitive advantage in selling
situations.
Today’s in-house and contract cleaners are faced with complex issues related
to shrinking budgets, productivity
demands, green cleaning and more.
Knowledge-based learning
helps salespeople and distributors better serve customers
When janitorial supply customers grant
time to a salesperson, they expect to learn
something other than what he can find on
a website. Industry research shows that
distributers and suppliers are already the
number-one source for information on
cleaning products and services, and salespeople need to be able to offer more than
one-way
communication.
Nilfisk
University gives salespeople and service
technicians a distinct advantage in providing relevant, real-world information
they can bring to their customers in selling and support situations.
“Nilfisk University is a direct investment in our dealers and employees and
the value they deliver to their customers,”
said Steve Baker, vice
president of sales and
marketing at NilfiskAdvance, Inc. “We are
committed to providing local dealers with
the knowledge and
training they need in
today’s challenging
cleaning industry.”

“NilfiskU was created to harness the collective knowledge capital of NilfiskAdvance professionals and NilfiskAdvance dealers.
As partners in the collaborative

and utilize the information, skills and

This learning environment provides
users with the opportunity to participate
in important training and continued education at any time and eliminates the cost

SCA HELPS CLEAN UP THE GULF OIL SPILL,
DONATES MORE THAN $200,000 IN PRODUCT
Even after the leaking oil well in the
Gulf Coast had been capped, the clean-up
continues.
This past September, SCA, a global
hygiene company, and its Tork Brand of
away-from-home paper and hygiene
products, donated more than $200,000
worth of Tork® wiper products to Gifts In
Kind International, a charity committed
to managing product donations for people
and areas most affected by natural and
man-made disasters.
The Tork wipers have been and continue to be used to help sanitize equipment, clean deck machinery and aid in
general cleaning applications such as
onsite handwashing on Strike Force
recovery boats. The boats have been serving as the front lines of defense and
clean-up in the Gulf Coast, working with
all available resources to recover oiled
areas.
"This ecological tragedy called for a
unified approach from the community
and the corporations who value the world
we live in," said Don Lewis, president,
SCA Tissue North America. "We felt it
was important that we provide resources
and lend our expertise in hygiene to
ensure an expedient recovery in the area.
We are thrilled to have partnered with
Gifts In Kind International to ensure we
make a positive impact."
Tork wipers are typically used in
manufacturing, automotive and other
industrial environments, to absorb large
spills, grease and grime. The product's
application features make the wipers an
ideal resource to aid in the recovery and
cleanup in the Gulf.
Gifts In Kind International funneled
SCA's contributions to its nonprofit partner Greater New Orleans Disaster
Recovery Partnership (GNODRP), which
facilitated the on-site distribution of the
donated Tork wipers to help with the continued cleanup efforts.
Formed in November 2005, the
GNODRP is a coalition of 70-plus member agencies including faith-based, nonprofits, government liaisons and longterm recovery organizations serving
those impacted by the 2005 hurricanes in
the Greater New Orleans region. The
partnership between Gifts In Kind
International and GNODRP strategizes
plans to support local communities and
prepare in advance for future disasters.
To learn more about Tork products,
such as the wipers currently being used in
the Gulf Coast oil spill cleanup efforts
onboard Strike Force recovery boats in
the New Orleans area, visit the SCA
booth 1801at the ISSA® Interclean®
annual conference in Orlando from
November 9-12. Tork Green Hygiene
Council members Josh Radoff, Allison
Aiello and Donna Duberg will be on-site
to provide suggestions on ways to make
organizations cleaner and greener. Orlando
Official Launch Date Announced for
Sustainable Dashboard Tools
Stephen Ashkin, CEO, and Cynthia
Schultz, COO, of Sustainability
Dashboard Tools, LLC, announced that
the company’s online, Web-based system
will be officially launched November 10,
2010.
The date was selected to coincide
with the ISSA/INTERCLEAN® North
America tradeshow, which will be held
November 9–12 in Orlando, Florida.
“Unlike other sustainability software programs, which seem to be
designed for large, multinational manufacturers and retailers, our Tool has been
specifically designed to meet the unique
needs of the professional cleaning industry,” states Ashkin.
Beyond just providing reports on
greenhouse gas emissions and LEEDEBOM requirements,* “users will be
able to use the Tool to improve their performance and reduce costs,” adds
Ashkin. “After all, when we reduce the
use of energy, water, waste, and other
materials, not only are we reducing [our]
impact on the environment, but we are
also saving money.”
Similar to a car dashboard, the Tool
presents information on a computer monitor. “This allows managers to see the
most critical indicators, track their
progress, and easily spot problem areas at
a glance.”
Both Ashkin and Schultz say the primary goals of the Tool are threefold:
• That it be easy to use and cost
effective for all companies, large or small
• That it help users become more sustainable by using natural resources more
responsibly
• That it reduce operating costs
Ashkin notes that because this is a
Web-based application, it can be upgraded constantly. “This is extremely valuable
as we continue to integrate more suggestions on how users can improve their
[sustainable] performance. The Tool will
help users identify improvement opportunities and will suggest ways to make
those improvements.
The development of the system
started more than two years ago. An early
version was displayed at last year’s
ISSA/INTERCLEAN North America
tradeshow in Chicago.
“It has undergone major upgrades
and has been beta tested for several
months now,” says Schultz. “Feedback
from beta testers, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, the U.S. Green
Building Council, and others has been
extremely positive. We are really looking
forward to November 10.”

Introducing an Industry First: The Miele MopGiant
The first cleaning system designed exclusively to clean mop heads and cleaning cloths.
With more than 100 years of cleaning expertise, Miele has become the
definitive source for precision commercial cleaning equipment. Now, this legendary appliance company, which is represented on six continents, has put this
expertise to work for the cleaning industry – creating the first washer extractor
with patented cleaning processes
designed specifically to clean mop heads
and cleaning cloths effectively and efficiently to enhance their longevity.
‘There are more than 5,000 of these
units working hard every day across the
world and we’re now excited to launch
the MopGiant at the ISSA show and bring
this exciting solution to the USA,” John
Oliveira, Director of Miele Professional
Products, stated.
“The MopGiant provides a cost saving solution for a recurring industry problem: How to effectively clean mops and
cloths so they perform better and last
longer, which eventually reduces overhead costs. The ability to reuse
microfiber or cotton mops in the daily
cleaning process can translate into thousands of dollars per year for the cleaning
company.”
Microfiber mops are especially
designed for repeated use and most premium brands are designed to withstand
500 detergent laundering cycles, but if
bleach is used that cycle number can be
substantially reduced to as low as 200
cycles. To extend the life of the mops for
maximum ROI, mop heads must be
cleaned carefully but thoroughly and
without bleach. Standard residential
machines will not provide the desired
result.
“The MopGiant is specifically engineered to clean the mops in a sophisticated drum.
The cleaning process starts with a
special spin cycle, which dewaters mops
and rids them of 50% of dirt and soil
before it even begins the main cleaning
Orlando
cycle,” Oliveira stated.
“This sophisticated cleaning machine
utilizes temperatures ranging from 40° F
to 185° F to effectively provide a custom
clean to accommodate virtually every
need. Even disinfection can be attained
through a 185° F cleaning cycle with a
hold time of 15 minutes. A feature no residential or commercial washer can achieve
What Makes the MopGiant
Unique?
• Enhanced Cleaning Process:
Initial dewatering spin cycle coupled with
additional perforations in the rear panel of
the drum enables dirt and debris to be
effectively removed from the start.
• Time Saving Mop and Cloth
Conditioning – No wringing and bucket
soaking required. This feature reduces the
cleaning crew time up to 40%; chemical
use by up to 90% and helps floors dry
75% faster.
• Barrier Free Draining – An exclusive dump drain with a barrier free design
prevents the drainage system from clogging.
• Short Cycle Times – Built in powerful commercial heater, which reduces
cleaning cycle times to as little as 41 minutes.
• Specialized Programs – Microfiber
and cotton mop and cloth programs as
well as a disinfection program for a multitude of uses.
• Hot Water Disinfection – Machine
is able to reach temperature of 185° F and
hold for thermal disinfection.
• Spin - With the industry’s highest
spin speed of 526 g force and 1400 rpms,
the MopGiant can eliminate or substantially reduce dryer time.

MopGiant, visit Miele Booth 4059. Spartan promotes

Never Rebook at a Hotel with Dirty Floors
Dirty floors and lobby restrooms among top reasons consumers most likely to never stay at a hotel again
A recent Cintas Corporation survey
conducted by telephone by Harris
Interactive® among 1,009 U.S. adults
ages 18 and older revealed what is most
likely to prevent a consumer from
rebooking with a hotel. Eighty- five percent of U.S. adults said they would not
rebook at a hotel if there are dirty floors
in the guest room, lobby or entryways. In
addition, 80 percent of adults indicated
dirty lobby restrooms as a turn-off.
“Consumers have many hotel
options and have come to expect a clean
room and facility regardless of the room
rate or location,” said Mike Thompson,
Senior Vice President, Cintas Facility
Services. “This research confirms that a
high standard of cleanliness is critical to
a hotel’s success. From restroom cleaning
to tile and carpet cleaning services, hotels
must have the right programs in place to
maintain a safe and clean establishment
to ensure guests are satisfied.”
Survey findings indicate differences
in opinion by area within a hotel. For
example, 83 percent cited dirty guest
room floors as a turn off, while 70 percent cited dirty lobby floors and entry-
ways as experiences that would likely prevent them from rebooking. The survey
also reveals differences by age. For example, 63 percent of adults 65 years and
older cited wet floors with no signage as a
reason for never rebooking with a hotel.
In contrast, only 37 percent of 18-34 year
olds would find this to be an issue.
“Maintaining a clean and safe facility
is imperative for success but requires a lot
of time and energy,” added Dave Mesko,
Senior Director of Marketing, Cintas.
“Partnering with Cintas allows hotels to
boost productivity and brand image, while
improving comfort for both guests and
employees.”
Cintas offers a wide range of solutions that enable hotels to build their
image and increase profitability and productivity while improving the comfort
and well-being of their guests and
employees. Whether it’s regularly providing a safe floor program with custom logo
mat service or a complete cleaning and
janitorial supplies program, Cintas’ cleaning solutions can save hotels time and
money. “New Generation” of CFR Carpet Cleaning System Announced
CFR Technology Benefits the Environment and Water Conservation
Tacony Corporation, a leading manufacturer of professional cleaning tools
and equipment, announces that a “new
generation” of CFR (Continuous Flow
Recycling) carpet cleaning extractors will
be unveiled today to distributors and endusers throughout the jansan industry.
The line includes four different carpet cleaning systems. Michael Schaffer,
President of Tornado® Industries (also a
Tacony company), is in charge of the
introduction of CFR’s new generation of
products.
Continuous Flow Recycling technology is designed to provide advanced
moisture-controlled cleaning, faster drying times, and increased cleaning productivity when compared to conventional
carpet extractors.
According to Schaffer, “This ‘new
generation’ of CFR products includes
some of the most sustainable and environmentally responsible systems ever developed for the carpet cleaning industry.”
These new systems offer two key
features that separate them from other
portable carpet extractors on the market:
• They filter and recycle water and
cleaning solution as the machine is used,
allowing them to use up to 85 percent less
water than comparable extractors.
• They use moisture-controlled wand
technology, providing up to 50 percent
more moisture recovery than many comparable systems.
Schaffer adds that with today’s
emphasis on Green cleaning, sustainablity, and water conservation, this new generation of CFR extractors “are the right
products at the right time.” Sometimes it takes more than water.
It takes EcoFlex™.
Cleaning professionals know you can’t use just one method to clean every floor. Whatever the
job demands, Advance’s EcoFlex™ System makes getting the job done easier. With the industry’s
most flexible floor-scrubber performance at your fingertips, you’ll save time, reduce water and
detergent use, and still meet the highest standards for clean floors. Why settle for less?

WALDEN’S CONVENTION DAILY ISSA/INTERCLEAN® 2010
Floor Care: High-Performance Mats
Selecting entryway and other matting systems for facilities can be confusing, especially when a facility has a green
cleaning system in place. To help clear up
this confusion, jansan distributors should
work with facility managers, concentrating on several issues, including:
• What makes a mat "green"
• The role matting plays in green
cleaning
• What a high-performance matting
system is
• The different types of mats as well
as the roles they play in protecting the
health and appearance of a facility.
Green Mats
Distributors might start with a discussion of what a green mat is not. For
instance, the mere fact that a mat is recyclable or made from recycled materials
does not make it a green mat. Although
some manufacturers may make this
claim, neither the current guidelines of
the U.S. Green Building Council's
(USGBC) Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) certification program nor the Green SealTM GS42 Environmental Standards for Cleaning
Services indicates this as a requirement.
Instead, both organizations simply point
to the importance of matting in a green
cleaning program as well as the lengths
and types of matting required for LEED
certification credits.
Additionally, distributors should
point out to their clients that rarely does a
"rental" mat supplied by a rent-a-mat
service qualify as a green mat. Why?
Although these services offer a number
of conveniences, and the vendor will
deliver and install a clean, attractive mat
at major building entries on a frequent
basis, these mats are typically of relatively poor quality; furthermore, they last a
comparatively short period of time and
have limited effectiveness. They may help
prevent a slip and fall during wet weather
and remove some dirt and soil from shoe
bottoms, but they usually do not meet the
criteria currently mandated by the
USGBC and Green Seal for a green matting system.
Knowing what a green mat is not
helps make it easier to define its properties. Usually, green mats are referred to as
high-performance matting systems.
Distributors can explain to their clients
that this means the mats:
to reduce cleaning's impact on health and
the environment, any products, procedures, or systems that result in less chemical use and reduced cleaning needs are
considered part of a green cleaning system. "High-quality and appropriately
sized entry matting systems [are] an integral part of every green building," says
Crown Mats High Performance Green Matting System
• Are of much higher quality than
rental or more conventional mats
• Are designed to last for many years,
something that will often be reflected in
the mat's extended warranty
• Are of a recommended length so
that they can perform effectively
• Usually work together with other
high-performance mats as a "system"
• Perform specific functions so that
more than 80 percent of the contaminants,
soil, and moisture that enter a facility are
trapped by the matting system.
Effectively keeping soil outside is
what makes a high-performance matting
system green. According to Stephen
Ashkin, a longtime advocate of green
cleaning and president of The Ashkin
Group, LLC, and executive director of the
Green Cleaning Network, keeping soils
and contaminants outdoors helps minimize the amount of chemicals and cleaning necessary to maintain a facility.
Because the goal of green cleaning is
Ashkin. "They are one of the best pollution-prevention strategies that can be
employed to reduce soils before they enter
a building."
The USGBC concurs with Ashkin.
Facility managers incorporating green
cleaning and seeking LEED certification
must utilize entryway systems-more
specifically, they must place high-performance mats at all building entries "to
reduce the amount of dirt, dust, pollen,
and other particles entering the building."
High-Performance Mats
The key to a high-performance matting system is not only its ability to capture soils, moisture, and contaminants
before they enter a facility, but also to
store them as well. Whereas a conventional rental-type mat can quickly become sat-
Betco Corporation Announces
Acquisition of Bio-Systems International
Betco Corporation of Toledo, OH has
announced the acquisition of Bio-Systems
International based in Beloit, WI. BioSystems is a leading provider of bacterial
based, environmentally friendly products.
The company's technologies include bacterial and enzyme solutions for wastewater treatment, sewer and drain maintenance, green cleaning and household

urated with soil and moisture and become
ineffective, a high-performance matting
system contains the soil and moisture
until they are removed safely by proper
cleaning, with minimal environmental
impact.
Some high-performance mats have
the capacity to accomplish this function
due to their bi-level construction. As foot
traffic passes over the mat, soil and water
fall below the upper surface of the matting
and are stored. This keeps them from
being transferred into the building. By
contrast, once a conventional mat
becomes saturated, the soil and moisture
actually reattach to the shoe, defeating the
purpose of the mat.
In addition to the bi-level construction, the length of the matting system is
important. According to Green Seal, a
high-performance
matting
system
includes mats placed both outside and
inside a facility, the overall length of the
matting running from 12 to 20 feet. Also,
the mats should be specific types:
• Scraper mats. These mats, often
referred to as "the first line of defense,"
are placed outside of a facility; they
aggressively scrape dirt, debris, and snow
from shoes, trapping those substances
beneath the mat's surface. Typically, five
feet of scraper matting should be installed
at all major entry points to effectively trap
as much as 50 percent of the soil and
moisture on shoes.
• Wiper/scraper mats. Designed as
the second step in the process of removing
soil and moisture from shoe bottoms,
these mats are also about five feet in
length. They are typically found directly
inside a facility and help remove soils and
moisture that are not captured by the outdoor scrapers. Often, buildings with a
double-door entry system will place
wiper/scraper mats in the vestibule area
between the two sets of doors.
• Wiper mats. These mats are the final
part of a high-performance matting system and should also be about five feet
long. Considered the final line of defense
preventing outdoor contaminants from
entering a facility, they typically ensure
that the first step taken off the high-performance system and onto the facility's
hard-surface floor or carpeting is clean,
dry, and soil free.
Care & Maintenance
Of course, high-performance matting
systems must also be properly maintained
to perform effectively. Distributors should
advise their clients that matting placed at
a typical building entry would likely need
to be vacuumed at least once if not two or
three times during the course of the day.
The frequency of cleanings may increase
depending on the amount of foot traffic,
weather conditions, and other factors.
In addition, because the mats store
soil and moisture below the surface, the
mats will eventually need to be more thoroughly cleaned. Whereas a rental mat
must be washed in large washing
machines with large amounts of water and
strong chemicals, high-performance matting systems can be properly cleaned by
using a prespray-which minimizes chemical use-and low-moisture carpet extractors on a schedule determined according
to building traffic and soil buildup. by Christopher R. Tricozzi

Protect Your Investment and Your Visitors With These Escalator
Maintenance, Safety, and Cleaning Tips
Escalators, like automobiles, are
complicated, highly technical machines
designed to facilitate transportation of
passengers from one place to another.
And, like automobiles, escalators require
regular inspection, cleaning and maintenance over the years in order to function
properly and efficiently. Escalators are
the workhorse of the modern subway, airport, bus terminal, shopping mall, department store, casino, hotel, convention center, and more, moving large groups of
people more smoothly and efficiently
than any other type of indoor transportation. It is estimated that there are 30,000
working escalators in the United States
today moving literally millions of passengers. Due to their complicated internal
workings and heavy usage, escalators
must be routinely serviced by licensed
professionals, and worn parts must be
replaced in order to keep the machines
functioning properly and safely. In addition to the manufacturer-recommended
servicing schedule, a regular routine
cleaning regimen is recommended as
well. Here are some of our suggestions
for keeping your escalators in tip-top
shape:
• Have your escalator inspected,
cleaned and serviced regularly, and have
worn parts replaced as recommended.
• If your escalator is near an
entrance, provide floor mats and signs
advising visitors to wipe their feet before
stepping onto the escalator. Small stones
and other debris can be tracked in on passengers' footwear and can become lodged
in the escalator where they can cause
damage by grinding away tops and sides
of treads.
• All maintenance and janitorial
workers and contractors should not carry
small metal items such as screws, nails,
bolts, tacks, etc. around the escalator as
these items are extremely damaging
should they become lodged in the steps or
internal machinery. They can cause teeth
of combs to break off, leaving a sharp
edge and an unsightly toothless comb, not
to mention a catching point and a hazard
to passengers.
• Know the weight limit of your escalator. Keep traffic moving at the exit
points of escalators in order to prevent
overcrowding on landing platforms.
Restrict foot traffic at the entrance if necessary to prevent the escalator from
becoming overloaded or overcrowded.
Keeping escalators well-maintained
and safe for everyone is partly the responsibility of the machine's owner, and it is
also partly the responsibility of the passenger. While you cannot control the
behavior of your visitors, you can post
signs encouraging them to treat your escalator and other passengers with courtesy
and consideration. Here are some safety
rules and tips we recommend:
• Advise passengers not to set bags,
luggage, purses or other carry-on items on
the steps of the escalators. Wheelchairs,
electric scooters, strollers, hand carts and
luggage carts should never be brought
onto the escalator.
• Advise passengers to tie shoelaces
tightly and to secure straps, scarves or
other loose articles of clothing that could
become caught in the moving machinery.
• Passengers should never try to carry
too many items, and should always leave
one hand free to hold the hand rail.
• Passengers should use hand rails
and avoid touching the non-moving sidewalls of escalators. Children too small to
use hand rails should be escorted by parents, and parents should hold the child
closely, or hold the child's hand. Never
allow a child to sit on the steps or to stand
too closely to the sides of the escalator.
• Passengers should not wear flipflops or other open-toed shoes, high heels,
CrocsTM or other shoes made of softresin or other rubbery materials.
• dvise passengers to be considerate
and courteous toward others. If the escalator is crowded, those who want to stand
and ride the escalator should stand on the
right, and those who want to walk up the
escalator should pass on the left.
• Passengers should never try to travel in the opposite direction of the motion
of the escalator. No one should attempt to
climb on, lean over, or ride the hand rail as
this could result in a serious accident or
injury.
• Always take extra caution when
stepping onto and off of the escalator.
Grab the handrail firmly when entering,
and step over the comb fingers when exiting (passengers should not let their feet
slide off at the end of the escalator). When
exiting, passengers should do so promptly, and clear the exit area so as not to
cause a traffic jam for other passengers
exiting behind them.
• Above all, passengers need to pay
attention to what they are doing and to
their surroundings. As with automobiles,
carelessness, showing off, and inattention
around escalators is a major cause of accidents.
Finally, while maintenance and safety
are obviously of utmost importance, the
appearance and cleanliness of your escalator must also be considered. Visitors
will notice impacted dirt, grime, grease
and stains in the treads beneath their feet.
A dirty escalator will detract from the
overall appearance of your facility. On the
other hand, a clean, well-maintained escalator will make a very positive impression. We offer the following advice for
keeping your escalator looking clean and
appealing to your visitors without short-
Orlando
ening the life of the machine:
• First, do not use liquid soaps and
solvents that can get down into the escalator's internal mechanism. If you must
use a spot cleaner to remove a particularly stubborn stain, we recommend a lowmoisture solution sprayed sparingly onto
the soiled area. Use a cleaning solution
that loosens dirt and stains from the
treads, and dries quickly and completely.
Avoid any type of cleaning product that
will leave a film on the escalator.
• For cleaning the steps we recommend a small, safe, effective, economical
machine with twin rotating brush heads
that sweep the impacted surface debris
into a powerful vacuum airflow which
traps the debris into a disposable paper
bag. These machines require little supervision although it is advisable to have at
least one person in the area while the
machine is running to ensure safe operation. While there are less effective, timeconsuming static brush tread sweepers
available and expensive, heavy, over-engineered machines that walk up the escalator steps as the machine is moving, we
think that the twin rotating brush vac
machines are the best combination of
economy, safety, and effectiveness.
• Always make sure that the machine
is set up so that the steps are moving away
from, not toward the machine. Make sure
your maintenance crew understands the
manufacturer's instructions and recommendations regarding proper usage of the
machine.
• Run your cleaning machine on a
weekly or monthly schedule, according to
manufacturer's recommendations and use
nylon brushes for routine cleaning. If
your escalator is exceptionally dirty, you
may use more aggressive brushes, but we
recommend that you consult the manufacturer first.
• Remember that your cleaning
machine requires occasional maintenance

heights." Ten Tips for Maintaining a Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner
Facility service providers (FSPs) are
finding more and more uses for wet/dry
vacuum cleaners. These machines are
typically used for heavy-duty vacuuming,
cleaning up after water damage, and
when refinishing floors.
“And, once FSPs start using a
wet/dry vac they often find more and
more cleaning challenges that can be
solved using the machine,” says Daniel
Frimml, customer service tech with
Tornado Industries, a leading manufac-
turer of professional cleaning equipment.
Although typically very durable
machines, wet/dry vacs require proper
care to provide years of dependable service. The following is Frimml’s Ten Tips
for Maintaining a Wet/Dry Vacuum
Cleaner that should help keep your
machine up and running for years to
come.
1. Thoroughly clean the solution tank
after each use.
2. The float and float cage used to
stop vacuum action when maximum
recovery is reached should be cleaned
after each use.
3. Ensure that the float moves freely
before operating.
4. If the float must be removed, it
must be re-installed correctly. On most
machines this means that the open end
faces down.
5. Use the appropriate filter per
cleaning task. Usually this means a paper
filter for dry vacuuming and a cloth filter
for wet vacuuming.
6. Clean the paper filter bag after
each use by shaking the filter to remove
loose particles; with a cloth filter, rinse
clean but never wash the filter, this can
cause shrinkage.
7. If foam develops in the machine, it
must be reduced using a chemical defoamer.
8. Never store the machine with liquid inside the tank. Run the machine
empty for about five minutes to remove
all moisture from the tank, hoses, and
attachments.
9. If removing the motor head, be
careful and place it down gently on a
clean, dry surface.
10. Keep all operating instructions on
hand for future reference.
“A common problem we see is FSPs
not paying enough attention to the float,”
adds Frimml. “The float is very important. Without it working properly, the vacuum motor can be destroyed.” 10-ISSA-Wednesday

Understanding Bio-enzymatic Cleaners
Although not new, many cleaning
professionals and facility managers are
giving bio-enzymatic cleaners a closer
look.
"This is because they [can] complement a Green cleaning program," says
Mike Sawchuk, vice president of EnviroSolutions and Charlotte Products, both
leading chemical manufacturers. "In
fact, some of these cleaners have been
certified and proven Green."
However, many have questions about
bio-enzymatic cleaners and how they
work. The following addresses some of
these issues:
1. Bio-enzymatic cleaners contain
specific quantities and qualities of bacteria along with enzymes and microbial
nutrients that essentially digest chemical
and organic waste (soils).
2. An enzyme is a type of protein
that can break up complex molecules into
smaller pieces. Contrary to popular
belief, enzymes are not living things.
3. Odor-causing bacteria are
"food" for these microorganisms.
4. In many cases, bio-enzymatic
cleaners can provide immediate odor
relief.
5. The bacteria consumed by the
bio-enzymatic cleaners are converted into
two basic compounds: carbon dioxide
and water.
6. Some bio-enzymatic cleaners
are designed to work up to 80 hours after
they are applied.
7. Overall, bio-enzymatic cleaners
may be safer for users and the environment compared to traditional cleaning
chemicals, especially if they have been
Green certified
8. Other than odor control, some
popular uses of bio-enzymatic cleaners
are for washroom cleaning, food
prep/kitchen area cleaning, and to remove
spots and stains in carpets.
Bio-enzymatic Cleaners
Sawchuk adds that bio-enzymatic
cleaners should never be used with bleach
or disinfectants because they can reduce
or eliminate the effectiveness of the bioenzymatic cleaner, as well as the microbial efficacy of the bleach or disinfectant.
"Bio-enzymatic cleaners are not
going to replace Green cleaning products," says Sawchuk. "But, because many
newer bio-enzymatic cleaners perform
well, are environmentally preferable, and
cost effective, we can expect them to play
an even greater role in Green cleaning in
the future." Orlando
Ashkin Believes “Green” Will
Bring Entrepreneurship Back to U.S.
From New Green Garment Bags to “Dashboards”
Stephen Ashkin, best known as the
professional cleaning industry’s “father
of Green Cleaning,” believes that this
country’s renewed emphasis on Green
and sustainable issues will lead to a new
generation of U.S. entrepreneurs.
“This actually is already happening,” says Ashkin. “Many people flush
with cash from Internet businesses and
new technologies have already been
investing or starting a variety of environmental and sustainable supporting businesses. And because of the tragic oil spill,
we likely will hear of businesses and
products developed just to tackle this situation.”
Some of these Green start-ups and
investments are already well known,
according to Ashkin, with a few started
by some unlikely players. Ashkin refers
to T. Boone Pickens, a billionaire oilman
and financer who has become America’s
leading promoter for wind farms and
wind-generated power plants.
“And then there are people like Rick
Siegel and Jennie Nigrosh of Los
Angeles,” says Ashkin. “They developed
a Green, reusable garment bag made of
recycled materials [that is] designed to
replace the 700 million ‘single-use’ plastic bags used every year by dry cleaners
in the U.S.”
Many dry cleaners and dry cleaning
groups agree there is a need for the Green
garment bag and are looking favorably on
the new product. Ashkin says the couple
believes their enterprise may turn into a
$10 million business.
An example in the professional
cleaning industry is Ashkin’s own
Sustainable Dashboard Tool, LLC. The
dashboard is a Web-based tool to help
jansan distributors measure and monitor
fuel and energy use and other data so they
can operate in a more sustainable manner
and cut costs.
“Like most Green entrepreneurs’
[projects], the dashboard probably would
never have happened if Green and sustainability had not become such core
issues in our industry,” adds Ashkin. ISSA Elects Board Members

Hospital Patient Rooms with Views, Light, TV, and Pathogens
Earlier this year, a manufacturer of
spray-and-vac cleaning equipment issued
a press release entitled, "Hospital Patients
Should Ask, 'Who Was in the Room
before Me?'" The gist of the story was that
recent studies have found that if a previous patient occupying a hospital room had
such diseases as methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE),
norovirus, or other highly infectious - and
often deadly - diseases, there was "an
increased risk [of the next patient admitted to that same room] contracting these
multi-drug resistant organisms," according to Dr. John Boyce, Yale University
School of Medicine, New Haven,
Connecticut, who was directly involved in
and reported on the study.
Complicating matters, the study
found that the pathogens and contaminants that can pass these diseases from
one person to another can linger quite a
while. In many cases, these pathogens
were found to still be present up to two
weeks after the infected person had left
the hospital room. If C. difficile pores are
present, the pathogens can survive for
several weeks.
When the report was first released,
several medical- and infection-controlrelated publications printed details of the
story. However, it seems to have picked up
more mainstream coverage when the
cleaning manufacturer referenced earlier
reported on the study.
The cleaning manufacturer was interested because the study found that there
were two key ways to stop the spread of
disease from one hospital room patient to
another. The first involved improved hand
sanitation. Proper hand washing has long
been considered the number one way to
stop cross-contamination.
And the second mode of transmission, which is what drew the attention of
the manufacturer, was all about cleaning.
The study found that "there is increasing
evidence that contaminated surfaces in
hospitals … are [a] source of transmission
of pathogens … and reducing environmental contamination by improved cleaning and disinfecting practices should
reduce the acquisition of pathogens by
patients and result in fewer infections."
Beyond Reporting
Often researchers simply report their
findings. However, Boyce and his colleagues offered suggestions on how hospital facilities and other locations concerned about the spread of disease can
reduce the risk and minimize transmission
rates in both regular and post-discharge
cleaning situations. Overall, the
researchers said that hospitals and other
facilities must "pay more attention to
cleaning and disinfecting the indoor environment." To do this, they recommend the
following:
• Conduct visual inspections of all
areas cleaned, especially in patient rooms
after a patient leaves and before the next
patient is admitted.
• Mark high-touch* surfaces with a
fluorescent marker. High-touch areas such
as light switches, door knobs, etc., are
often transmission points for the spread of
disease
• Conduct bacterial studies to determine what pathogens are located on hightouch areas.
• After all cleaning, use ATP (adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence) monitoring equipment to assess cleanliness of
surfaces. (See sidebar for additional postdischarge cleaning recommendations.)
The researchers admitted that conducting a visual inspection of surfaces
cleaned does not provide sufficient reliable information about their cleanliness.
"They probably recommended this
because one of the goals of the study was
to get everyone-facility managers, housekeepers, and custodial workers-more
focused on the importance of cleaning,"
says John Richter, Technical Director for
Kaivac, Inc., a leading manufacturer of
no-touch cleaning systems. "And placing
a 'fluorescent mark' on a surface may
ATP testing procedures were developed after World War II. Originally, testing for ATP required a trained technician
who would swab specific areas on a surface and then transfer those samples to a
computer for analysis. At that time computers were large enough to fill an entire
room-hardly something readily available
to most businesses-and it took several
days for the results to be reported.
"Since then, however, rapid monitoring systems have been developed that provide accurate ATP readings in literally
seconds," says Richter. "This has made
the technology applicable to a variety of
settings."
Today these rapid monitoring systems are handheld, requiring no outside
computer,** and the test does not call for
specially trained technicians. According
to Richter, the testing process consists of
these basic steps:
• A pen-like device is swabbed over a
The following are additional recommendations for post-discharge cleaning and are applicable to other cleaning situations as well:
• Establish policies identifying surfaces in patient rooms that
must be cleaned.
• Educate custodial workers about the use of chemicals, disinfectant dwell
time, dilution issues, etc.
• Educate custodial workers about the special cleaning needs of different
surfaces.
• Educate custodial workers about the importance of cleaning as a way to stop
the spread of infection.
• Consider the use of new cleaning technologies and systems that may result
in more effective, pathogen-free cleaning.
• Insist that cleaning workers wear gloves at all times when working and wash
hands thoroughly after removing used gloves and before putting
on new gloves.
sound a bit juvenile, but studies continue
to report that cleaning workers wipe clean
only about half of the targeted high-touch
surfaces in hospitals that should be
cleaned."
Although conducting bacterial studies was one of the recommendations, it is
the fourth item suggested-the use of ATP
technology-that has become far more
common in medical and many other types
of facilities. In fact, ATP testing has
become so important to the professional
cleaning industry that many view it as the
missing link when it comes to the connection between science and cleaning.
Understanding ATP
For those who have not heard about
ATP or do not fully understand how it is
used in professional cleaning, the following should prove helpful.
ATP is an energy molecule found in
all organisms; its presence is therefore
considered an indicator that some form of
life is present. When ATP is found on a
surface it can mean that health-threatening microorganisms are there as well. This
does not mean the system can detect specific organic substances-microbial cultures and other tests are necessary for this.
But the presence of ATP is typically
viewed as a red flag in the professional
cleaning industry that potentially harmful
pathogens are present and that more thorough, hygienic cleaning is called for.
surface.
• The device is inserted into the handheld reader.
• The system calculates the relative
amount of ATP detected on the device.
• Results are reported in 15 seconds
or less.
"Using these results, hospitals and
other facilities have developed standards
for acceptable levels of ATP," says
Richter. "If the results of the test are under
a certain level, the surface is deemed
clean and safe; if the results go above
these levels, the surface may not be considered safe and must be cleaned and sanitized again."
The Practice of Cleaning
Along with suggesting ways to help
stop the spread of contaminants from one
patient to another, researchers reported on
actual cleaning practices in many medical
facilities. They found that only about 50
percent of the surfaces in patient rooms
that should be cleaned are being cleaned
by housekeepers. "This phenomenon has
been documented in hospitals and intensive care units as well as on general medical and surgical wards," writes Boyce.
The researchers found that the problem with cleaning is not necessarily the
chemicals used. In most cases, the proper
detergents and disinfectants are being
used. The issue involves more how cleaning is performed. "Housekeepers may not
wipe surfaces at all, may not properly
dilute disinfectants, may not allow the
chemical to remain in contact with the
surface for the recommended time
(before wiping) … all of which can result
in suboptimal cleaning practices."
Although the researchers did recommend the possibility of "misting" rooms
or using vapor technology and hydrogen
peroxide to decontaminate rooms, reach
areas often missed by housekeepers and
custodial crews, and help reduce the incidence of hospital-onset disease, the study
indicates there are some uncertainties
with these systems. It suggests that further studies are warranted.
Richter applauds the researchers for
considering cleaning systems other than
traditional methods and equipment such
as cleaning cloths, sprayers, mops, and
buckets, "which we now know can spread
contaminants from area to area instead of
remove them." He suggests hospital and
other facility administrators consider the
use of spray-and-vac cleaning systems
wherever possible in hospital facilities.
According to studies conducted by
Dr. Jay Glasel, founder of Global
Scientific Consulting, LLC, Farmington,
Connecticut, spray-and-vac cleaning systems do not require the touching of surfaces, which is one reason why the systems are often referred to as no-touch
cleaning systems. Instead, a no-touch
cleaning machine applies chemical solution to surfaces to be cleaned, the surfaces
are then rinsed, and a wet-vac system vacuums up the solution along with contaminants. Comparing cleaning using traditional cleaning methods and spray-andvac systems, Glasel found: "for removing
bacterial contamination, the data show
that the spray-and-vac [system] is 60
times more effective in reducing bacterial
contamination
than
conventional
method[s]."
Conclusions
Boyce's study focused on what was
termed "post-discharge cleaning," and for
many facility managers and cleaning professionals, it once again reminds us of the
importance of cleaning to protect human
health. "Whether it is in a hospital room
or a school room, effective cleaning is
critical to keeping people healthy," says
Richter. "Fortunately, the researchers
took their study a step further, making
concrete recommendations that can be
applied to all types of settings and situations."

*High-touch surfaces include such
things as light switches, doorknobs, closet and dresser handles, faucet handles,
fixture controls, ledges, and railings.

HydraMaster Introduces New Hard Surface,
Pressure-washing, Carpet-cleaning Truckmount
Mukilteo, WA - HydraMaster Corp.,
manufacturer of truckmount carpet
extractors and related carpet-, hard surface and pressure-washing equipment,
has officially introduced its new Boxxer
Innovation with Proven Technology
323 truckmount system.
Developed by HydraMaster’s Senior
Project Engineer, Chris Ryan, the 323 is
“both innovative yet built on proven technology,” he says.
The 323 is optimized for pressure
washing, hard surface cleaning as well as
conventional carpet and upholstery cleaning. This, according to Ryan, allows the
carpet cleaning technician “to take on a
variety of new jobs, expanding [their]
services and profit potential.”
Unique for a truckmount of this size,
the 323 delivers continuous hot water, at
more than 200 F at up to 2,500 psi and 3.4
gallons per minute, a first for the truckmount industry.
But along with new innovations, reliability was a big concern. To ensure the
323 is both reliable and durable, Ryan
says, many of the components that have
proven their durability in other
HydraMaster truckmount extractors were
used in the 323.
For instance, the machine uses a larger and more powerful version of the
Briggs & Stratton engine, which has
proven its value in another extractor manufactured by HydraMaster.
Additionally, the heating system
installed in the 323 has been in use on a
number of HydraMaster truckmounts for
more than four years. Ryan says they also
have proven their power and dependability.
“With the current state of the economy, carpet cleaning technicians are very
cautious about selecting a new machine,”
he adds. “They want something that is
proven, cost effective, and performs. That
was our goal with the 323 and from the
feedback we have received, it appears we
have accomplished it.”
The new 323 is on display at the

University, involved 420 people over the
age of 65. *
The researchers found that along
with health issues, environmental factors
such as poorly maintained floors play a
key role in increasing the chances of slip
and fall accidents among the elderly.
“More than a third of the people
involved in slip and fall accidents are
over 65,” says Gary Pelphrey, general
manager of Powr-Flite Direct, a leading
manufacturer of professional cleaning
equipment. “One reason for this is that
elderly people are [so] much more mobile
today than they were years ago.”**
The other study, also published in
May 2010 and conducted by the
Neurological Hospital and Health Center
of the Ludwig Maximilian University in
Germany, found that simply fearing a fall
might actually cause a fall among the elderly.
The researchers reported that elderly
individuals are often concerned about
falling in public places like shopping centers, stores, and building lobbies, causing
them to change their gait and body movements when walking. This “gait change”
leads to the fall.
These studies should be taken seriously by cleaning professionals, according to Pelphrey. “When there is a [slip and
fall] accident, typically the first thing
called into question is how well the floors
have been maintained.”
Along with selecting more advanced
floor care equipment to help prevent slips
and falls, Pelphrey says proper and ongoing floor care training and education is a
must for floor care technicians.

Where the Germs Are
In 2003, New York-based writer
Nicholas Bakalar authored "Where the
Germs Are: A Scientific Safari" (published by John Wiley & Sons Inc.). The
book, which became surprisingly popular,
determines areas of the average home
where germs and contaminants are most
likely to grow.
Although there have been several
studies over the years identifying germs in
specific areas such as office desks, no
such book covering all areas of a commercial facility exists.
"This is unfortunate because pinpointing where the germs are is the first
step in more effective, hygienic cleaning,"
said Angelo Poneris, customer service
supervisor for Valley Janitorial Supply
Co., Hamilton, Ohio. "The cleaning professional can then focus his or her time
and attention on the areas where they are
needed most. This is not only more effective cleaning, but it is cost-effective cleaning as well."
Poneris suggested that jansan distributors working with their clients investigate scientific cleaning measurement
tools, such as adenosine triphosphate, or
ATP, monitors. ATP is an energy molecule
found in all animal, plant, bacterial, yeast,
and mold cells. Its presence on a surface
can be a warning that diseases or diseasecausing microbial spores are present. By
using these monitors on a regular basis,
custodial workers can determine which
areas of a facility, especially restroom
areas, get the most contaminated and
Pinpointing where the Germs Are
where the greatest cleaning effort should
be concentrated.
Cleaning Procedures
Finding the germs is one thing; getting rid of them is another. Through
organizations such as the Cleaning
Industry Research Institute, a nonprofit
research group formed to expand scientific research into professional cleaning, we
now know that many traditional cleaning
systems may be ineffective at removing
contaminants and promoting hygienic
cleaning and may actually be a culprit in
spreading disease.
For instance, "as a conventional
cleaning cloth is used, it collects soils,
germs, and other impurities," Poneris
said. "Essentially, what is happening is
the towel has become the conduit, spreading disease and contamination."
Hospital studies going back to 1970
find that the mop in a traditional mopand-bucket cleaning method becomes
contaminated as soon as it touches the
floor. As the mop is used, contamination
is spread to other areas of the facility.
In many locations, these older cleaning systems are being phased out and
replaced with industry innovations such
as microfiber cloths and no-touch cleaning technology. According to Poneris, one
manufacturer now produces microfiber
cleaning cloths that can be folded into
quadrants, allowing for the selection of a
fresh cleaning surface as needed. Also
available are color-coded microfiber
cloths, with which a specific color can be
designated for cleaning each task.
No-touch cleaning uses specially
designed equipment that applies chemi-
Value Added and Green Issues Explored in Distributor Survey
Customers appear to be more
focused on the price of janitorial goods,
specifically the low price of cleaning
products, over value-added services that
jansan distributors may offer their customers. At least, that was the conclusion
of 74 percent of the distributors surveyed
the second week of May 2010.
The survey was conducted by
Enviro-Solutions, a leading manufacturer
of proven-Green cleaning chemicals. One
hundred and eleven distributors took the
survey with 91 percent answering all
questions.
In a related question asking, "Right
now, how much value are your customers
placing on a distributor's value-added
services?" referring to custodial training
programs, troubleshooting, and other customer "hands-on" activities, the responses were as follows:
• A lot:
19 percent
• Some:
62 percent
• Not much: 15 percent
• Very little or none: 4 percent*
Because proven-Green floor-care
products are getting a lot of attention now
among Green chemical manufacturers
and their distributors, the survey also
asked how manufacturers can help their
distributors and reps sell more Green-certified floor products.
"Interestingly, there was a tie," says
Mike Sawchuk, vice president of EnviroSolutions and Charlotte Products,
Peterborough, Canada. "Thirty-one percent thought more information about
Green floor-care products and how they
are safer for users and building occupants
would be helpful, while the exact same
amount said they could sell more [floor
care products] simply if the products were
priced lower."
The respondents also suggested they
could sell more Green floor-care products
if they had better ways to demonstrate the
products (14 percent); more sales tips
from the manufacturer (12 percent); or
better marketing materials in general (6
percent).
Those respondents who answered
"other" (about 8 percent) were invited to
type in their suggestions. However, only
two suggestions were given. These were:
"Unless mandated by a company, cleaning
services are more interested in price and
fast acting products requiring less labor
time than Green products right now.
"Most large businesses want a combination of lower prices and value add services.**
Recession, Green Direction, and
Understanding Green
The final three questions of the survey were very specific. The distributors
were asked how the last two years of
recession in the United States have
impacted their sales. Noteworthy, nearly
40 percent said their sales have actually
gone up in the past two years. Another 40
percent said they experienced "little or no
change" in sales. Twenty-one percent
reported their sales figures were down
during this period.
As to what market categories they see
growing the most in the next 12 months
when it comes to transferring to Green
cleaning products, these were their
responses, ranked top to bottom:
• Restaurants and hotels
• Office buildings
• Health care facilities
• Government facilities
• Schools
"Finally, we asked a rather simple
question," says Sawchuk. "We just wanted to know if [the distributor's] end customers know what is required for a product to be certified Green. Only about a
third said yes. About 40 percent said
[their customers] had no idea, and thirty

cals to the areas to be cleaned. These
areas are then rinsed, "blasting away soils
and contaminants, which are then vacuumed-up using the machine's built-in
wet/dry system, which are found on more
advanced models," says Poneris.
CIRI reports that these systems, compared to conventional cleaning methods,
are more effective at eliminating C. diff,
MRSA, and other germs and bacteria
found in schools, health care facilities,
public restrooms, and locker rooms.
"Further, cleaning work can be performed
two-thirds faster than with conventional
cleaning methods," adds Poneris.
Credit Where Credit is Due
Recent public health scares have
helped the general population realize just
how important cleaning and the work of
jansan professionals are in protecting
health. Getting a little less notice is the
distributor, who in many cases is now the
guide, mentor, advisor, and educator,
helping the cleaning worker with systems
and procedures that locate health-threatening germs and eradicate them.
"Quietly but significantly, we have
seen a dramatic change in the role of the
jansan distributor in the past decade or
more," adds Poneris. "We have evolved
from, what I hesitate to call, 'product
pushers' to 'health advisors.' The entire
[jansan distributor] business model has
changed and this is better for the industry
and the end-customer." percent reported they were not sure."
Sawchuk believes certification is an
issue that may need to be addressed
through more client training and education. "In order for end customers to fully
realize the benefits a of Green product and
what Green cleaning is all about, they
really [must] know what makes a product
Green in the first place."

percent due to rounding.

62 CIMS/CIMS-GB Certified Organizations to Be Recognized at ISSA/INTERCLEAN
As a true testament to the growth of Cleaning Industry Management Standard
(CIMS) and CIMS-Green Building (CIMS-GB) certification-and a clear indication of
the industry acceptance of the program-62 organizations will be recognized at
ISSA/INTERCLEAN® North America 2010 for achieving CIMS/ CIMS-GB certification. Among the 62 organizations to be recognized are 49 companies who are either
newly certified or have achieved recertification and 13 companies who have added the
CIMS-GB designation to their existing certification.
These companies will be recognized prior to football legend Joe Theismann's
general session, Wednesday, November 10, at 8:45 a.m. during the ISSA/INTERCLEAN tradeshow and ISSA Educational Conference, which takes place November
9-12 in Orlando, FL.
"CIMS continues to set the industry standard, and companies are increasingly
seeing the management, operational and sustainability benefits associated with certification," says ISSA Director of Facility Service Programs Dan Wagner. "In just three
years, the program has grown to more than 80 total companies certified and an
increasing number of facilities are requiring their providers be CIMS certified."
CIMS applies to management, operations, and performance systems. Compliance
demonstrates that an organization is structured to deliver consistent, quality services
designed to meet the customer's needs and expectations. It sets forth processes, procedures, and supporting documentation proven to be characteristic of customer-driven organizations. Given that CIMS is non-prescriptive, each organization has the flexibility to choose the most effective ways in which to meet its requirements.
The CIMS-GB dimension focuses on the delivery of environmentally preferable
cleaning service and offers organizations a certification that is closely tailored to provide customers with precisely what they need to secure points under the LEED-EB:
O&M rating system while greening operations overall.
ISSA is pleased to announce that the following companies will be recognized at
ISSA/INTERCLEAN North America for their new certification or recertification in

STOKO Skin Care by Evonik Launches
New Cutting-Edge Four–In–One
Dispensing System
STOKO® Skin Care, a world leader in the away-from-home skin care/hand
hygiene market, has launched STOKO® REFRESH 4 in 1, an innovative, cost-saving
dispensing system that provides a choice of four different handcleansing applications
in a single dispenser – foam, spray, liquid, or gel.
STOKO REFRESH 4 in 1 provides a welcome alternative at a time when the market is flooded with hand hygiene systems requiring different refills that only fit in certain dispensers. This has led to expanding inventories and increasingly complex purchasing decisions.
For
distributors,
STOKO Refresh 4 in
1 offers an effective
means to streamline
inventories, clear up
purchasing confusion, simplify operations, and save costs.
Facilities can place
several types of

operations, and save
on time and labor costs. Dispensers are available in white or black, and in 500ml or
1000ml refill sizes
“We are excited to offer this value proposition for distributors as well as end
users,” states Ron Shuster, Product Line Director. “One dispenser for four applications
will reduce inventory expenses, free up cash flow, simplify purchasing, and speed
installation. Our STOKO REFRESH 4 in 1 Dispensing System truly lowers costs and
saves labor at all levels.”
Multiple formulations are available across four application types for use in the
STOKO REFRESH 4 in 1 Dispensing System. For foam applications, these include
five thick-foaming choices: moisturizing, antibacterial, sensitive skin, food handlers,
and sanitizing. For spray, three formulations are offered: moisturizing, antibacterial,
and sanitizing. In addition, the liquid formulation is a mild, all-purpose cleanser, and
the gel formulation includes an alcohol-based sanitizer, as outlined in the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration monograph and recommended by the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control.
Green options are also available, with several formulations Green Seal™ certified
as well as USDA BioPreferredSM. Eco-friendliness also includes the packaging itself,
which is recyclable.
The wide choice of applications and formulations all running through a single dispenser, the cost savings made possible, the flexibility of two refill sizes, and its overall environmental friendliness place
STOKO REFRESH 4 in 1 Dispensing System is at the forefront of the hand
hygiene industry. 10-ISSA-Wednesday
