A key part of any chemical-management program is the delivery system. Questions you should ask when looking for a new system include the following:
• Does the system dispense the cleaning products simply, safely and efficiently?
• Will my employees be able to learn the system quickly?
• Is there any risk employees will be exposed to harsh chemical cleaners?
• And for business service contractors, will the system eliminate the number one service issue -- clogged tips?
A quality dispensing system should be able to:
* Eliminate clogged tips, which reduces maintenance calls
* Be easy to use, with color-coded formulas, labels, bottles and caps
* Have bilingual (English and Spanish) labels, instructions and training materials
* Provide a simple push-button dispenser to control quantity
* Automatically dilute concentrated cleaning products
* Reduce exposure to concentrates with virtually spill-proof bottles
* Control water pressure and ensure 95 percent accuracy, thus saving you money with every use
The proper pressure regulator helps you reduce costs by virtually eliminating wasted material and ensuring correct dilution rates every time at 30-60 pounds of water pressure. In addition, the efficient system helps reduce maintenance calls (additional savings), as well as eliminates potential employee exposure to concentrated products and spillage.
Among the dispensing systems on the market, the Clorox® EZ Dilute system delivers on the above requirements well. When combined with the company’s Green Works® naturally derived cleaning products, the system provides exceptional cleaning capabilities while helping to improve efficiency and reduce overall costs.
“With a color-coded system and the ability to select a particular cleaning product simply with the click of a dial, cleaning crews will appreciate the speed and efficiency of the Clorox® dispensing system,” said Craig Stevenson, vice president and general manager of Clorox® Professional Products Company. “By reducing the incidence of cleaning product loss, businesses will be able to reduce their costs as well.”
A simplified delivery system also means less handling of products and improved safety. Employees are less likely to be exposed to spilled solutions when steps are reduced in the fill process.
Here’s what you should always look for in a dispensing system:
* No clogging of tips: Look for design features that help eliminate this #1 issue.
*Compact size: A compact, wall-mounted unit can be installed virtually anywhere where wall space is available.
* Push-button dispensing: Simplify and speed the process with the click of a dial and a push of a button.
* Multiple bottle rack: Save time and money by placing all of your cleaning agents in one rack and being able to dispense them through one system.
* Bottle or bucket capabilities: Customize your delivery method by selecting a system that allows you to dispense cleaners into bottles or large buckets.
* Color-coded formulas, labels, bottles and caps: Color coding helps to eliminate mistakes in the dispensing of cleaners and make it much easier to train staff.
* On-site training: Expert training ensures safe and efficient handling of all cleaning products by your staff.
*Support materials: Make your transition to a new system easy, smooth and safe, with easy to understand training posters, handbooks and DVDs.
