Why Streamlining Cleaning Products Is Transforming Procurement
In many industries, managing a diverse range of cleaning products has long been the norm. But is it cost-effective and economic to manage the a diverse ranges:
- Dangerous goods ratings
- SDS and documentation
- Chemical compatibility
- Differing operating procedures
- Stock management
For this reason, procurement managers are discovering that consolidation of cleaning products, where possible, can lead to significant savings, streamline operations and simplify compliance.
The Complexity of Traditional Cleaning Supplies
How is there such a range of uses for one product when everyone seems to be recommending 10 different products for their chemical cupboard these days?
Think about your organisation's typical cleaning cupboard or procurement list and which if these do you stock:
- Neutral floor cleaner
- General hard-surface disinfectant
- Bleach
- No-Rinse food-safe sanitizer
- Bathroom Cleaner
- Toilet Cleaner
- Mould remover
- Odour eliminator
Each product has a specific purpose, specific operating procedures, often requiring different dilutions, usage instructions and safety protocols. For businesses with multiple sites or mobile cleaners, the logistical load only increases and ensuring compliance becomes more difficult.
Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) - The Streamlined Solution
Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) has emerged as the solution to this over-prescription of cleaning products for many organisations. Purchased in tablets, once mixed with tap water and diluted it forms a Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) solution, a powerful disinfectant suitable for various cleaning tasks. These tablets dissolve quickly, are easy to store, and offer a range of cleaning applications, replacing a range of traditional products.
Benefits of NaDCC-based Products
NaDCC is a non-caustic, organic chlorine donor which in solution is safe for people, environmentally safe, biodegradable, and less harsh to equipment and surfaces. Clinisan, which utilises NaDCC businesses can address multiple uses by adjusting the dilution (the amount of water measured):
- No-Rinse food grade sanitiser (MPI’s C 42)
- Toilet Cleaner
- Bathroom Cleaner
- Odour Eliminator
- Hospital Grade Disinfectant
- Mould Remedy
- Tuberculocidal Disinfectant
- Mop, cloth and reusable nappy sanitiser
This versatility simplifies the procurement process and compliance process. Instead of managing multiple SKUs, you can order one product for multiple needs saving time on reordering, reducing storage requirements, and minimising the risk of improper use, promoting efficient workflow and simpler compliance processes.
The versatility and efficiency of NaDCC-based products like Clinisan has had widespread adoption and is relied on by New Zealand businesses, including:
- Cleaning Companies
- Healthcare
- Aged Care
- Early Childhood Education
- Schools
- Veterinary clinics
- Food production facilities
