Michael Rollins presenting to CIRI Symposium June 2008


"In an industry not recognised for innovation, Microfibre cleaning technology is one remarkable exception.

With powerful cleaning action, combined with lightweight ergonomic tool design, microfibre delivers improved results in less time without the use of environmentally damaging chemicals. In commercially competitive times, compounded by challenges of environmental sensitivity, microfibre is a win-win, green-clean performance solution."

Microfibre consists of tens of thousands of tiny storage compartments that lift up the dirt, trap the waste and leave a clean surface.The core of microfibre forms tiny cutting edges that break up surface dirt and easily absorb dirt, dust and moisture. The only solvent needed is water.

The major benefits of Advanced Microfibre

  • Reduce fatigue and labour costs, increase productivity.
  • Reduced chemical usage by 40% to 46% per day.
  • Reduced water usage by 90% to 95%.
  • Energy saving microfibre can be laundered in a conventional washing machine, with lower heat settings using standard detergents.

Question - What is Colour Coding ?

The use of Colour Coding helps prevent cross-contamination and improve hygiene by clearly and simply identifying to the cleaner the particular product (mop, bucket, duster etc.) that should be used in any given situation.

Standards have been introduced and are increasingly being adhered to across the cleaning industry as follows:

  • Red  for washrooms and toilets;
  • Green for raw food preparation areas;
  • Yellow for food preparation and serving areas;
  • Blue  for low risk basic cleaning;
