Facilities Supervisor Solves Longtime Cleaning Challenges While Cutting Costs in The Process

Achieving successful cleaning results throughout facilities can be a difficult task, especially when cleaning products fall short of expectations time and time again. Facility supervisor Mitch knows all too well the challenges that comes with keeping school facilities clean and the frustration found in failed products. 

“When I was first introduced to EnvirOx’s H2Orange2, I was pretty skeptical on the product. Other products haven’t worked for the cleaning challenges we have, so I wasn’t sure this one would be different. However, once we started using it, we saw great results.” 

One of the major cleaning challenges Mitch faces is cleaning wrestling mats. Not only is the removal of dirt important, but the mats need to be cleaned before disinfection can be effective. If mats aren’t cleaned and disinfected properly, there’s a risk of ringworm and MRSA being contracted by athletes. 

“We’ve tried several different chemicals on our wrestling mats- none got the dirt off even if we scrubbed and scrubbed. We even tried a floor scrubber on them, but it didn’t work. We still had black marks and dirty mats. Then, we tried EnvirOx H2Orange2. With just a mop and no effort, it took a lot of the dirt off. We used it with our floor scrubber and the mats looked brand new! They look just amazing. H2Orange2 has a great smell, and with little effort, it does a really nice job cleaning. The mats are clean; the wrestling coaches are very happy and the students are healthy.” 

Along with cleaning wrestling mats, Mitch uses H2Orange2 in facility bathrooms, classrooms and on carpets. 

“Our bathrooms smell great. Glass is easy to clean and comes streak-free with less effort than our old glass cleaner. And it works great on carpets, too! We got a lot of dirt out of our carpets by pre-spraying H2Orange2 and extracting with clean water. We actually thought we would have to replace the carpet in the board room because it was so dirty. Cleaning it with H2Orange2 made the carpet look like brand new and saved us a bunch of money!” 

Not only does H2Orange2 work to remove dirt and residue, but it’s also a healthier alternative to harsh traditional cleaners. Gone are the days of worrying about toxic fumes or harmful side effects. “It’s safer for my staff - they don’t have to worry about the effects of the product on their health. We even give it to teachers to use instead of bleach wipes.” Due to the versatility of the H2Orange2, Mitch cut back on the money spent buying traditional cleaners like glass cleaner, toilet bowl cleaner and carpet cleaner. 

“We saved $2,000 - $3,000 dollars on the cleaning chemical over the chemical we were purchasing before. The budget’s getting tighter and tighter, and this worked out great. Any savings is huge.” 

His final thoughts? 

“I wouldn’t change a darn thing. This is a product that cleans really well, with less effort. I oversee the custodians, and you don’t want to bring them a product that takes more effort to use. Price-wise, it’s extremely competitive. We’re really happy with it. At facility conferences, if somebody asks me about what I’m doing in my school buildings, this is one thing I like to brag about!”
