Live, Learn, Work and Play

1. Live, Learn, Work and Play

2. Our Purpose Today… • Why cleaning with stabilized hydrogen peroxide is a benefit for higher education? • What are the challenges universities face with cleaning? • What are the latest industry compliance issues? • To learn about Hydrogen Peroxide technology!

3. University Challenges • Budget Restrictions • Staff attrition and on-going training • Variety of surfaces to clean • Dozens of chemicals • Tools for applications • Work-loading • Bridge the gap between Procurement and Facilites

4. Industry Compliance Initiatives • LEED (USGBC) • Sustainability • DfE • EPA- Registrations • USDA Biopreferred/Biobased listings • Green certifications (Eco-Logo, Green Seal)

5. Do you have green cleaning certification? • Dave Thompson- Green Clean Institute • Technician- 102 • Manager- 202 • Executive- 302 • Consultant- On site • On-line course • Cause and Effect

6. Are you certified in the industry? • ISSA- CIMS • Cleaning Industry Management Standards • Extensive training • 6-8 months to complete • CIMS applies to management, operations, performance systems, and processes.

7. Additional CIMS Information • The new CIMS-GB Criteria and Designation • To help meet and grow demand for green and LEED certification, the Cleaning Industry Management Standard & Certification Program has been expanded to include new “Green Building” (GB) criteria and a new optional GB designation.

8. Where to begin???

9. Progress before Perfection • Standardization (P.E.T.) • Process, Education, Tools • Eliminate redundancy in inventory • Procurement simplicity • Simplify staff training • Managed inventories • Proven outcomes

10. What we’re doing-is it working?

11. What We’re Doing • Removing soil load • Dwell time for quats = 10 minutes • No residual kill time • Super bugs • Cotton mops • Detergent residues • Best Practice/procedure

12. Hydrogen Peroxide: Cleaning for Health Smart Metrics lead to Proven Outcomes • 1 product, 2 dilutions • 95% of cleaning • Chemical reduction in inventory • Increased attendance rates • EPA Registration • Neutral pH (multiple surfaces) • Stabilized Hydrogen Peroxide • Green • USDA • LEED

13. Outcomes Realized? • People do not fail, processes fail. • Abundant information on cause and effect. • Where are the processes and application outlined to achieve desired results? • Safe – Simple – Savings

14. Food for Thought Question: How many types of stains are there in the world? Answer: Two. An alkaline and an acid. Question: Then why do we need 30+ different cleaners?

15. Acid Stains • Hydrogen Peroxide = Acid • 95% of what we are confronted with • Use Green solution for light-duty cleaning • Use Red solution for heavy-duty cleaning

16. Alkaline Stains • Look for water sources • Soap scum • Tile/grout build up • Water fountains • Shower rooms • Swimming pools • Use an acid that is water soluble • Won’t damage fixtures • No hazardous fumes

18. Advanced Janitor’s Closet

19. Green Solution: Cost Benefit • Hydrogen peroxide is not expensive • Green solution = $0.05 per quart $0.20 per gal • 1 case = 2048 quart spray bottles of diluted product • Use for general wipe down • Glide and go • Use for floor cleaning, autoscrubbers

20. Red Solution: Cost Benefit • Hydrogen peroxide is not expensive • Red solution = $0.50 per quart $2.00 per gal • Productivity • 5 min. dwell time vs. 10 min. dwell time • No residual build-up • Soil load removed • “Take the home away from the host”

21. Why it works… • Chemical composition • Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) • Dismutation takes place • Reduction occurs • Oxidation – 1 molecule of oxygen off gases • H2O is residual = NO BUILD UP • All water safe surfaces (carpet, tile, grout, glass etc.) • 1 product, 2 dilutions = 95% general cleaning

22. How it works… • Hydrogen peroxide compound/compound = BOOM! • Absorb with dry microfiber cloth • Remove soil load with no residue • CLEAN CLOTH + CLEAN SOLUTION = CLEAN SURFACE

23. Why residue is a problem • Stack soil load • Breeding ground for bio-films • Touch points become compromised • The virus and bacteria can transfer • “Take the home away from the host” • “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” • Prevention

24. Are all H2O2 products the same? • Short answer: NO. • Keep it simple. • Review the MSDS sheets. • Not the chemical, but the chemistry. • Using hydrogen peroxide will have you off-gas other chemical in the solution.

25. Are we moving dirt around? • String mops • Mop buckets • Down press wringers

26. What makes sense? • To clean with something that heals • To use pesticides/poison (EPA registered product) • Quats have their place • Isolation- nurse’s office (higher education) • Biologic spills- blood, vomit

33. LEED Certification Credits The USGBC (United States Green Building Council) is a non-profit organization committed to expanding sustainable buildings practices. They are working to advance structures that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to work. One of the USGBC initiatives is the LEED-EB: O&M (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance) certification. One of the credits available under the Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ) section of the LEED-EB: O&M is credit 3.4-3.6: Green Cleaning: Purchase of Sustainable Cleaning Products and Materials. H2Orange2 Concentrate 117 meets the requirements for this credit!! This code states that a cleaning product must meet the California Code of Regulations maximum allowable VOC levels for the specific product category. H2Orange2 Concentrate 117 VOC percentages are below California Code of Regulations maximum allowable VOC levels for their specific non-aerosol product categories.
