How to clean and sanitize floors in healthcare facilities: Hospitals, Clinics, and Medical Centers

Comparing Technologies: Traditional and Ozone Scrubber Dryers

In healthcare environments such as hospitals, emergency rooms, and clinics, effective cleaning and sanitation of surfaces are essential to prevent infection spread. Manual techniques, such as mops or pre-moistened wipes, often fail to meet the hygiene standards required. For this reason, cleaning the floor with professional machines, such as scrubber dryers, is an ideal solution to achieve effective cleaning and sanitizing results.

Why Choose RCM Scrubber Dryers?

RCM scrubber dryers are specifically designed to meet the specific needs of healthcare facilities, ensuring deep and safe cleaning thanks to the following features:

• Quiet Operation: Perfect to use without disturbing patients or staff.
• Highly Effective: Delivers spotless cleaning, which is essential in environments where hygiene is a top priority.

Traditional or Ozone Scrubber Dryers?

RCM offers two main types of scrubber dryers for healthcare environments, each with unique advantages:

1. Traditional Scrubber Dryers: These models provide quick, efficient cleaning, leaving floors dry in a single pass. When paired with appropriate detergents, traditional models deliver optimal results on various surfaces within healthcare facilities.
2. Ozone Scrubber Dryers: This advanced technology offers an eco-friendly alternative to chemical disinfectants, as ozone is extremely effective in neutralizing viruses, bacteria, fungi, and mold. The RCM ECO3 Sanitizing system allows reducing bacterial loads by up to 97%, eliminating the need for expensive chemical sanitizers, benefiting both the environment and the safety of patients and staff.

Compatibility with Different Surfaces

RCM floor cleaning machines, whether traditional or ozone-based, are designed to adapt to a wide range of surfaces commonly used in healthcare facilities. They are ideal for PVC, synthetic and natural materials (as long as they are hard surfaces), ensuring excellent results in terms of cleanliness and hygiene.

The use of RCM scrubber dryers in healthcare facilities also offers additional operational benefits:

• Increased Efficiency: RCM machines optimize the cleaning process, reducing the time required to sanitize large areas.
• Cost Savings: Advanced technology allows for economical use of detergents and water, keeping operational expenses low.
• Enhanced Safety: Clean and dry surfaces improve safety for patients and staff, reducing the risk of slips and falls.

RCM scrubber dryers, available in both traditional and ozone models, represent an ideal choice for healthcare facilities that need to maintain high standards of hygiene and safety.
