How it works

It replaces some of the cleaning with water and product by mechanical methods using microfiber textiles when surface and hygiene allow.

It applies the hierarchy of understanding, avoiding, reducing, reusing and treating, always maintaining the right quality for each use and health protection.

When does it make sense?

  • With a water balance and significant uses
  • When regulation and health risk allow the solution
  • With clear inspection, treatment and maintenance officers

How to apply it

  1. 1

    Defining what need resolves "dry and microfiber cleaning" and establishing a starting situation.

  3. 3

    Apply with clear responsibilities, check the actual result and correct unwanted effects.
