“I’ve been everywhere man” is the strap line for the new HX SteriTouch System antibacterial mop handle from Yorkshire Cleaning Fabrics, and with good reason when you consider the bacteria that comes into contact with your everyday handle on a regular basis.

A useful new tool in the fight against cross contamination, the HX SteriTouch System has been protected in 3 key areas: the grip, the shaft and the fitting, with a unique antimicrobial agent SteriTouch, which is designed to reduce the growth of, and eliminate harmful organisms and therefore reducing the risk of cross contamination through manual handling.

SteriTouch uses silver based technology. Silver has long been known to have antibacterial properties with the additional benefit of being inorganic; which means that the potential for a build up of resistance to its multi-modal action is very low. In tests SteriTouch showed over 99.99% effectiveness against MRSA and E-COLI, it is also effective against listeria, salmonella, mould and fungi.

The fitting on the new HX SteriTouch System has been designed with flexibility in mind. As well as the HX socket mop, the handle fits most push fit mops and even metal socket mops should you so wish, and is available in the 4 hygiene colours for colour coding purposes

Yorkshire Cleaning Fabrics say “we believe the HX SteriTouch System can make a valuable contribution in the battle against cross contamination and provides an additional safety net to complement good cleaning practice. We believe it is particularly relevant for Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Schools and Catering/Food Services. We are supplying the HX SteriTouch System through our distributor network and we are interested in talking to new distributors who would be interested in the new handle and the rest of our janitorial range”.
