the full benefits of microfiber cleaning." The Rubbermaid Hygen
System delivers three critical components - a complete system,
proven performance and ongoing training and support - to ensure
optimal results when cleaning for health. Hygen is a comprehensive
solution including innovative textiles for dry and wet cleaning,
unique hardware such as handles and frames that help maximize
productivity and value, as well as buckets and carts designed to
enhance productivity and cleaning power. With the patent-pending
Flexi Frame(TM), which conforms to the shape of a surface, and
Quick-Connect Handles and Poles, cleaning hard to reach areas is
easier - saving time and money. Together, this complete system of
textiles and hardware helps reduce chemical consumption up to 95
percent, reduces water consumption up to 90 percent, cleans 45
percent faster than traditional methods and is proven to reduce
worker strain. The Hygen System delivers proven superior
performance with premium textiles that are built around the
industry's best microfiber - 100 percent premium quality split
microfiber. They are bleach tolerant and extremely durable,
withstanding up to 500 launderings and even as many as 200
launderings with bleach. Another element that differentiates the
Rubbermaid Hygen System from competitors is its extensive training
and support structure. The implementation of an effective
microfiber cleaning program requires expertise in how to best
utilize textiles and tools in order to clean for health. Rubbermaid
delivers a results-driven, ongoing training and support program.
Beyond online resources and learning modules, it includes
procedural videos and on-cart checklists that list task-specific
procedures for front-line staff members. These training materials
