Sustainable cleaning made easy with 3M chemical solutions

An inaccurate chemical dispenser can have repercussions in more ways than subpar cleanliness by potentially causing budget pressure, labor issues, safety concerns, facility damage and compliance.
 

• Budget overtures: The trouble with an inconsistent dispensing system is that it is often sporadically inconsistent – sometimes it mixes too much, sometimes not enough. This inconsistency makes it nearly impossible to accurately predict how much product is used, how much to order and if you will meet your budget target without overspending.
• Labor increases: Incorrectly mixed concentrates will not perform as needed, requiring redo’s and increased costs associated with the labor of cleaning surfaces twice. On the flip side, choosing to not re-clean a surface because the mixture was overdiluted can contribute to dirty surfaces or allow the potential spread of dangerous pathogens.
• Harmful exposure: Over-diluting the chemical concentrate can result in dangerous exposure and put your cleaning staff and facility guests at risk of encountering unsafe chemicals. Under-diluting US EPA registered products could result in improper active ingredient concentrations that are required for pathogen efficacy. Ultimately this could render the disinfectant ineffective and put patients and staff at risk.
• Surface degradation: A chemical mix that is overly acidic or basic not only wastes unnecessary product but can strip various surfaces causing unnecessary repairs and replacements. 
• Compliance: Chemical management systems reduce human errors in measuring, providing confidence that dispensed chemicals meet regulatory requirements consistently.
