A new range of affordable Cleaning Audit Tools and Kits, which are all you'll need to establish if your Wards, Surgeries, Operating Theatres and Kitchens etc, are actually being cleaned effectively.                             If at all!

             And not just visually clean...

                         ...but Hygienically clean!

So ask yourself, how...
	Q	Do we know if our working environment is really clean as it could be?
	Q	Do we know if our Cleaning Services Contractors are really as effective as they can be?
	Q	Can we measure, improve upon and then maintain higher hygiene standards?

 Here's how ... Follow the TTIM Principle...

As we cannot generally see if a cleaner has actually cleaned as thoroughly as we expect, we need to have some other fool-proof way of checking / auditing the cleaner's effectiveness on a regular basis. 

Contained within our New Hygiene Audits Kit you will find all you'll need to create discreet invisible test areas, that will reveal beyond any doubt, whether your cleaning services are effective or not.

With a Wash & Glow Hygiene AUDIT Kit you can take away the uncertainty of knowing if your cleaners are actually cleaning as effectively as you would expect. The kits come complete with an invisible non-toxic UV powder and grease that may be use to invisibly 'mark' key areas in your kitchen, toilets, surgeries or wards.  The cleaners will not be able to see this, so should they fail to clean properly, this irrefutable test will reveal the extent of this failure! 

Time for Re-training?
An Audit failure can be seen as a positive thing, as it will enable you to re-train your cleaners for best practice and help them achieve a higher standard of care in their work, and with ongoing 'random' testing, you'll be able to determine if its being maintained.

WASH & GLOW UV AUDIT MARKERS

A totally new range of Hygiene Compliance Auditing Tools

	Introducing a totally new Cleaning Audit / Cleaning Inspection tool.  The Wash & Glow UV Marker will create an temporary 'invisible' mark on most surfaces. Being being alcohol based, it is hygienic  to use and will not cross-contaminate... (image left shows a UV Audit Kit #5)
... When illuminated by Long wave UV light, the invisible mark will glow bright white! Simply create a series of marks on and around the area to be audited, after cleaning, use the UV lamp to see if any marks remain. If marks are revealed, then cleaning has not been performed effectively.
	To complement our new UV Marker tool, we have produced an invisible UV revealing spray, which also glows white under UV light! Being alcohol based, it ensures a simple and hygienic test with no  contamination. Use for testing larger areas such as floors, under beds etc and for total area coverage, where a cleaning method evaluation is required.
The latest innovation hot from the Glowtec Labs is the new UV Germ Powder Marker.  This chunky but tidy Marker, comes with a choice of 3 UV colours (for different tests or zones) Once marked, the Alcohol carrier quickly evaporates to leave behind a discreet layer of invisible UV Germ particles.

 

These exciting new products now make it possible for Infection Control Professionals, to measure, monitor and maintain higher hygiene standards, in line with NHS Cleaning directives.

 

ALL Key NHS Directives Recommend Hygiene Auditing
	Revised Guidance on Contracting for Cleaning
	The NHS Healthcare Cleaning manual
	National Specification for Cleanliness
	A Matron's Charter

WASH & GLOW UV AUDITING - How it works

Through a unique combination of Wash & Glow UV products, a series of invisible 'test' marks , are discreetly placed in areas to be cleaned where hygiene is critical i.e. frequently touched areas, food preparation areas, toilets, examination rooms, operating theatres etc.

These discreet UV marks, when used in conjunction with a Cleaning Audit, will enable the cleaning effectiveness testing of Cleaning Services.

Besides the obvious high risk areas, these discreet checks can establish if floors are being properly cleaned i.e. right up to the skirting boards and into those hard-to-reach corners. Underneath patient beds and around waste bins etc. These are excellent test locations, as are toilet seats and door handles, lift / elevator call buttons, communal door handles / knobs and hand rails, even clipboards and patient records.

		So when we say its Invisible...  We mean Invisible.   Move your pointer over this loo seat. (Photo example of a UV Marked toilet seat)

Depending on the particular nature and scope of the audit, apply the UV Audit Marks and note their exact location on your audit sheet (It is import for reasons of accuracy, that cleaners should not be aware of the testing). A follow-up Audit Inspection using a Forensic UV lamp, will determine which marks have been removed by effective cleaning and which were not!  The results of the Audit will establish if there is a need for any follow-up corrective action such, as re-training for cleaning staff etc.

Random 'recorded' auditing & testing thereafter, will help ensure new practices and higher standards and maintained.

As you see, the principle is simplicity itself and should provide an invaluable contribution to the war on poor hygiene.

Apply Invisible UV Audit Marks to ...
	Door Handles
	Toilet Seats / Handles
	Fridge Door Handles
	Light Switches
	Lift Call Buttons
	Communal Hand Rails
	Frequently Touch Areas

Take for example the typical WC...
		Here is your WC ready for cleaning. Now move your mouse over this image. Now you will see the invisible UV Audit Marks that should be removed by effective cleaning.  The number and size of marks is down to the preferences of the auditor, however the principle is clear to see.
move your pointer over these images
Again, in this example the inner rim and top of the bowl is marked ready for cleaning. (Wipe surfaces with an alcohol wipe prior to UV marking) A follow up Audit Inspection using a UV Blacklight, will reveal the effectiveness of the cleaners methods.

move your pointer over these images
	Even Stainless Steel, Glass and Mirrors can be safely marked in readiness for cleaning.

 

UV Auditing Cleaning Services will...
	Help Achieve Compliance with NHS & PEAG Specifications for Cleanliness
	Demonstrate Visible and Continuous Improvement in Cleanliness
	Monitor 'Frequently Touched Areas'
	Introduce Cleaning Quality Control
	Act as an Effective Cleaning Training Aid.
	Help Foster a 'Culture of Cleanliness'
