Proper hand hygiene and cleanliness is a top concern with loved ones in long-term care facilities, such as nursing homes or assisted living facilities. Long-term care residents, employees, and visitors are in close proximity, which raises the potential risk of the spread of germs.
Another challenge long-term care facilities face is odor control. Incontinence is common, which means not only restrooms but also resident rooms, mattresses, common areas, hallways, and seating need to be properly cleaned and maintained.
Cleanliness is a significant challenge in long-term care facilities. However, an effective long-term care cleaning program will maximize its overall cleanliness and comfort.

Floors are one of the first things people see when they walk into your long-term care facility. The best way to maintain your floors is using superior products that require less labor through utilizing an effective hard floor care program. In most long-term care facilities,
of a floor maintenance budget is spent on labor*.

Through our customized floor care program, our long-term care plan will help you no matter what floor type, equipment, or maintenance needs you have.
Floor finish protects your floors from highly abrasive soils, produces high gloss shine, and extends the life of floors. Our floor finishes are formulated with proprietary technology that never yellows or powders.
Our butyl-free floor strippers are formulated with patented Liquescent® technology to remove floor finish in one application without harsh odor.
Maintaining your floors is effective and efficient with our non-foaming floor cleaners that don’t attack floor finish.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) state that hand hygiene helps reduce the spread of germs. This is especially important in long-term care facilities for the overall well-being of patients, employees, and visitors. Hand hygiene noncompliance is a major contributor and also one of the easiest practices to improve in your facility.
