Ergonomic Surface Cleaning Systems

The SPHERGO Surface Cleaning System Boasts an Ergonomic Design

— August 30, 2017 — Business
To help reduce the occupational injuries incurred by those who carry out the back-of-house cleaning at fast food outlets, HOSPECO has designed an ergonomic tool called the SPHERGO Surface Cleaning System.

The SPHERGO Surface Cleaning System combines the company's MicroWorks microfiber environmental hygiene and cleaning pads, with a lightweight base affixed with a patent-pending spherical ball handle. This specially designed handle rotates in order to minimize musculoskeletal stresses incurred during the cleaning process. For added versatility, the tool can be used as both a handheld cleaning tool, or combined with an extension pole to tackle hard-to-reach areas. The microfiber pads are also disposable, which is an affordable and convenient option for restaurants that don't have on-site laundry services.

By combining superior cleaning products with an ergonomic design, the SPHERGO Surface Cleaning System helps QSR operators reduce on-the-job injuries.
Trend Themes
1. Ergonomic Cleaning Tools - Companies can create ergonomic tools for different industries, minimizing musculoskeletal stresses incurred during manual tasks.
2. Disposable Cleaning Tools - As the use of disposable cleaning tools like microfiber environmental hygiene and cleaning pads grows, businesses can leverage this trend to provide affordable and convenient cleaning solutions.
3. Hygienic Cleaning Solutions - Businesses can create and promote cleaning solutions that emphasize hygiene statndards to reduce the risk of illness in public spaces.
Industry Implications
1. Fast Food Restaurants - Solutions like the SPHERGO Surface Cleaning System can reduce occupational injuries incurred by workers who carry out back-of-house cleaning in fast food restaurants.
2. Janitorial Companies - Janitorial companies can embrace ergonomic and disposable cleaning tools to increase their efficiency and reduce the risk of injuries among their employees.
3. Healthcare Facilities - With emphasis on hygiene in healthcare facilities being paramount, innovative cleaning solutions can reduce the risk of infection and illness.
