Health & Leisure
     |
In today's society the health and leisure industry is big business. There are health clubs, leisure centre's and sports grounds opening up all the time and competition is extremely tough. Cleanliness is crucial as no one is going to pay to use facilities which are dirty and unhygenic.
It is essential in hospitals that hygiene standards are adhered to strictly because if not, the consequences could be huge and in extreme cases even fatal.
We have divided the industry into 5 sections but if you don't see your particular industry above or if your requirements are more specialised, please contact us and one of our specialists will be happy to talk to you.
Golf Courses
Golf is big business with most courses having a club house and some having restaurants, shops and even accommodation.Morclean have supplied a variety of cleaning equipment to golf clubs across the UK.
Groundwater Regulations are in force in the UK and these are enforceable by law. Two of these directly affect the washing facilities used by golf clubs.

It is no longer acceptable to clean grass cutting equipment or sprayers without thinking about where the wash water is going. If wash water is not being discharged to a foul drain then it must be contained and treated for safe disposal or reuse. You may also need to obtain a licence in order to discharge wash water down a foul sewer drain. The law includes pesticides and fertilisers. Grass clippings are also included as they contain 5% nitrogen.
It is illegal to allow wash water to go into surface drains, water courses or soakaways.

Hospitals & Clinics
" align=left />The cleaning of hospitals and clinics is essential for the health and well being of patients, staff and visitors and contributes to the quality of care provided for patients. A clean hospital limits the risk of infection but can be a very challenging task.
Previously, all the hospital cleaning was done using traditional methods such as mops, buckets and chemicals but tests showed that whilst surfaces looked clean, they still contained traces of very dangerous bacteria including the fatal MRSA bacteria.

As many forms of bacteria are now becoming resistant to chemicals, vapour steam is a reliable and safe cleaning method which is becoming increasingly popular with hospitals and residential care homes. Tests have shown that high temperature steam cleaners kill 80-90% of the microbes which cause serious infection including the antibiotic resistant superbug MRSA.
Dry steam can be used in hospitals, doctors surgeries, nursing homes and nurseries and is ideal cleaning
Linoleum, tile and vinyl floors, under beds, door handles,
killing dust mites in patients bedding, drapes & curtains, bed rails and even hospital food preparation areas.
Research has shown that dirty hospitals increase the risk of spreading infection. Poor basic hygiene can cause infection and increase the length of a patient hospital stay. This is distressing for the patient and it can cost the NHS as much as £1,000000 a year.

It is imperative that hygiene and cleanliness is adhered to in the hospitality business. There is so much competition in this industry that hotels, pubs and clubs need to ensure that customers return.
Morclean have a large range of industrial cleaning equipment which is ideal for this industry.
Steam units are ideal for cleaning kitchens and toilets, vacuums and carpet cleaners are ideal for rooms, corridors, reception etc, sweepers are ideal for car parks and alleys and scrubber dryers are ideal for dining and sitting rooms.
Steam cleaning will save your business vital time and money. Cleaning applications that have previously needed the hiring of expensive contract cleaners can now be tackled quickly and effectively in house saving on time and labour costs.
Steam cleaning can be used in the hospitality and catering industries for a variety of applications including:
Leisure Centres
Sprung non-slip sports hall floors are used for various sports such as 5-a-side football, squash, badminton, volleyball, tennis, netball, etc. These floors by their nature are used frequently and need to be kept dust and scuff free by regular maintenance. A Scrubber Dryer is ideal for these surfaces leaving your floors clean, dry and safe.
Sports & Football Grounds
Sports and football grounds will usually have more than one type of surface which needs regular cleaning and maintenance.
Astro Turf
This covers all types of artificial grass or turf or synthetic turf playing surfaces. The advantage of using synthetic playing surfaces is that they can be used all year round in all weather conditions.
Most sports which are played on grass can be played on astroturf i.e. football, tennis, hockey, rugby or bowls. These surfaces can also be known as multi-surface pitches or all-weather pitches. They are usually sand or water filled and can become compacted if not properly maintained.
A Litter Collector can be used to pick up leaves and litter which has fallen onto the pitch.
A Sweeper can be used to collect dirt and debris with no airborne dust. This improves the appearance of the sports area and contributes to health and safety. A sweeper will remove dirt that would otherwise impact on the surface and damage it.
Athletics Tracks
Synthetic tracks can be used for a variety of athletic events such as running, hurdles, cycling, etc. They can also be used for training.
A Litter Collector can be used to pick up leaves and litter which has fallen onto the track and could cause problems for athletes using the facilities.
A Sweeper can be used to collect dirt and debris with no airborne dust. This improves the appearance of the athletics track and contributes to health and safety. A sweeper will remove dirt that would otherwise impact on the surface and damage it.
Sports carpets can be used indoors or outdoors and tend to be used for indoor bowls or for tennis courts.
