Different Facilities. Different Cleaning Needs.

Not every facility requires the same cleaning setup. Smaller spaces, large campuses, healthcare facilities, schools, and retail environments all have different cleaning demands.

That’s why Buckeye products are available in a variety of formats designed to fit different facility sizes and cleaning programs.

If you have a larger facility, you may choose dilution control with Eco Proportioning Systems.

If your facility is smaller with less traffic, maybe ready-to-use products are more appropriate.

Some facilities may need a combination of both. Choosing the right format can help improve efficiency, reduce waste, and support day-to-day cleaning operations.

Our collaborative sales representatives are experts at helping you choose the right products and programs to fit your facility. To learn more, visit: https://ow.ly/n7Vz50ZaEtu

🗑️Liners come in many sizes, but do you know which liner is best suited for your facility?

When it comes to liners, having the right size matters. Getting the right fit for the receptacles in your facility reduces plastic waste and saves time trying to fit to containers.

The right liner improves efficiency, reduces waste, and helps save money.

Why do your floors still look dirty after cleaning?

There are many reasons why your floor is still dirty after you clean it.

Common reasons:

Incorrect chemical dilution (too strong or too weak)
Residue and embedded dirt buildup from improper cleaning schedules
Over-worn floor finish
No top-scrub and recoat program
Inconsistent or missed stripping cycles

🧼 Ways to maintain a clean floor:

🧪 Use the correct product dilution every time
🔄 Implement a top scrub and recoat program to extend floor life
📅 Stay consistent with your floor care schedule
🏢 Utilize premium commercial floor finish products like Clarion 25 and Castleguard®

A strong floor care program focuses on maintaining floor finish not constantly removing it. By removing only the top worn layers and recoating (through a top scrub and recoat program), you can restore appearance without the need for frequent full stripping.

Better results don’t come simply from cleaning, but with better processes and management. If your team needs help, check out our Hard Floor Care Program.

🧼Are you washing your hands long enough?

Handwashing is one of the simplest and most effective ways to stop the spread of germs.

But here’s the catch: most people don’t wash long enough.

Goal: Aim for at least 20 seconds.

That’s about the time it takes to:

Hum, “Happy Birthday” twice

Slowly count to 20

Don’t let a quick rinse undo the benefits of proper hand hygiene.

Clean hands start with the right technique and the right amount of time.

When it comes to point of care, every part of the patient’s room matters.

Even with routine cleaning, frequently touched surfaces can contribute to the spread of germs if overlooked.

These areas below are touched constantly by staff, patients, and visitors, making hand hygiene at the point of care essential.

The easier it is to clean hands, the easier it is to help stop the spread of germs. Point of care tools make cleaning hands easy.
