RUBBERMAID INTRODUCES
THE INDUSTRY’S MOST COMPREHENSIVE LINE OF MICROFIBER PRODUCTS
Company Revolutionizes Cleaning With Microfiber System Solution
Designed to Help Operators Save Time, Reduce Costs and Optimize Cleaning
Winchester, VA Rubbermaid Commercial Products (RCP), the leader in innovative cleaning products and system solutions for commercial facilities, today introduced the Rubbermaid Microfiber Cleaning System as the industry's most comprehensive microfiber product line.
The Rubbermaid Microfiber Cleaning System harnesses the proven cleaning power of microfiber into an integrated system of soft goods, handles and frames and specialized buckets. The product line features best-in-class components to help operators tackle floor care via wet mopping and dry dusting pads, high performance scrubbers and finishing pads; and other surface cleaning with glass cloths and dusting mitts and high-pile dusting sleeves. Rubbermaid’s Microfiber Cleaning System is the first to offer the advanced cleaning power of microfiber through such an extensive line of soft goods.
“At Rubbermaid, we’re committed to leading the industry in microfiber product innovation,” said Judy Cline, Director of Microfiber Cleaning for Rubbermaid Commercial Products. “We’re proud to launch an entire system solution designed to help cleaning professionals fully maximize the time, cost and labor savings of this cleaning technology. It’s an intelligent, integrated approach to microfiber for today’s facilities.”
Meet the Family
The Rubbermaid Microfiber Cleaning System features:
Pads, Mitts and Cloths made from ultra-fine quality, non-abrasive microfiber filaments. The microfiber yarn filaments in RCP Microfiber Wet Pads are very fine, allowing them the capacity to collect dirt and germs found on hard surface flooring. In addition, Rubbermaid Microfiber pads, mops and cloths are proven to withstand hundreds of launderings and cleanings, greatly reducing costs over time. Even after 300 laundering cycles, RCP Microfiber Wed Pads proved to be the most durable brand on the market by outperforming competitors.
Handles & Frames feature lightweight, aluminum construction for faster, more efficient cleaning. The two-button release Quick-Connect mechanism is an easy and efficient system for the interchange of handles and frames. Each piece is designed to help alleviate worker stress and strain. Durable aluminum handles and frames help drive out costs by requiring fewer product replacements over time.
Bucket Platform features five different products. The Pedal Wring Mini-Cart is compact yet supports the full range of microfiber cleaning tasks; the Pedal Wring Bucket features a no-touch wringing system using a foot pedal and pressure plate to remove excess water from microfiber pads; the Press Wring Bucket is a durable mopping combo designed with a press sieve for no-touch removal of cleaning solutions from wet pads; the Finish Bucket is color-coded blue for floor finish application; and the Disinfecting Bucket, designed especially for cleaning in the healthcare market, has a molded-in filling guide for measuring cleaning solutions and grates to prevent over-saturation of pads. It holds enough pads to support an entire day’s work for typical cleaning personnel.
In addition, Rubbermaid's Microfiber Cleaning System helps operators promote a cleaner, healthier and more appealing environment. According to a study by the EPA at the University of California Davis Medical Center, microfiber pads saved the hospital 60% on total annual cleaning costs . The Rubbermaid Microfiber Cleaning System supports the sanitation and infection control efforts of healthcare facilities, foodservice operations, educational buildings, commercial offices and many other buildings where health, cleanliness and visual appearance are a top priority.
At Rubbermaid, we feel that cleaning is believing. It is about experiencing first hand the difference that Rubbermaid Microfiber makes to help you efficiently maintain a top level facility and work smarter everyday,” says Cline. “Put our products to the test in any commercial facility and you’ll see the benefits this system solution delivers.”
