Is your Cleaning Program Ready for H1N1?
Kaivac, along with many healthcare professionals and environmental scientists, believes that cleaning is our first line of defense against infectious disease. But not all cleaning tools and methods are alike and not all are designed to clean thoroughly in order to achieve healthy results. Kaivac offers disinfectant cleaning chemicals and hygienic systems designed specifically to fight the spread of disease.
KaiSan II™ and KaiBosh™ are Effective against H1N1
Kaivac’s hospital grade EPA-registered disinfectants, KaiSan II and KaiBosh, both have kill claims for all types of Influenza A, making them effective against H1N1. While a given EPA Registered disinfectant label may not list H1N1 specifically, if it lists Influenza A virus, it will effectively inactivate all Influenza A viruses regardless of the specific subtype.
Remove It & Prove It™ with Kaivac’s Hygienic Systems and Methods
Public health experts report that proper hand hygiene is critical to preventing the spread of the disease. In addition, since touching infected surfaces also helps spread the virus, Kaivac believes effective cleaning through the removal of surface pathogens by using high-flow-fluid-extraction and TouchPoint Cleaning™ systems is essential prevention.
KaiVac® No-Touch Cleaning Systems -- Public restrooms are particularly hazardous during an outbreak. No-Touch Cleaning systems combine automatic chemical metering and injection, an indoor pressure washer, and a powerful wet vacuum into an integrated system, which is proven to be 30-60 times more effective in removing surface contamination than mops.
KaiWipes™ -- many experts recommend switching to disposable wipes during an outbreak. KaiWipes are perfect for cleaning common touch points, irregular surfaces and much more. Each new wipe is fresh, unlike towels and rags which accumulate soil and disease-causing contaminants over continual use. Since KaiWipes are composed of extra-strength disinfectant-compatible fibers, they work especially well with KaiSan II or KaiBosh.
KaiFly™ -- flat surface cleaning system—combines microfiber, window squeegee and chemical injection technologies to rapidly remove harmful bio-pollutants from desktops, tabletops, stalls, partitions, and many more flat surfaces. It removes 80 times more bacteria than standard wipes and cloths.
SmartTowel™ -- Designed to minimize the risk of cross-contamination, this patent-pending microfiber towel is numbered in quadrants – 1 through 4 on one side, and 5 through 8 on the other. This allows the user to fold the towel and use only one quadrant at a time. When a quadrant becomes soiled, the user simply folds the towel to the next in sequence using the numbered system.
ATP Rapid Hygiene Measuring System (ATP meter) -- universally recognized tool for quickly measuring the hygiene levels of surfaces in order to ensure consistent sanitation practices as well as public safety.
