    To help its hospital partners combat HAIs, ARAMARK Healthcare announces it has collaborated with Ecolab to introduce OxyCide™ Daily Disinfectant Cleaner, an EPA-registered non-bleach cleaning agent in a concentrate that is gentle on surfaces but effective on germs such as Clostridium difficile.

    “We work very hard to offer our hospital partners innovative solutions to support their infection prevention strategies,” says Mike Leone, president of ARAMARK Healthcare.  “Leveraging our scale in collaboration with our suppliers to develop cleaning solutions such as OxyCide, is one of the ways we are able to add value to hospitals through our environmental service programs.”

    OxyCide is an EPA-registered disinfectant, virucide, sporicide, deodorizer and one-step cleaner. ARAMARK Healthcare worked with Ecolab to test and develop the product for daily hospital use. OxyCide kills Clostridium difficile in 3 minutes and other organisms in 5 minutes or less; yet has superior material compatibility compared to bleach-based cleaners on hospital surfaces such as diagnostic equipment, stainless steel and fabrics.

    ARAMARK Healthcare is using OxyCide as its recommended daily disinfectant, pairing it with its processes and hospital cleaning technologies to enhance its environmental service programs and deliver better patient outcomes.

    If you want to work at Homejoy, a rapidly growing tech startup that connects independent home cleaners to customers, you're going to have to roll up your sleeves and get dirty. The company has every employee -- from customer service reps to engineers -- in its San Francisco headquarters clean a house at least once as part of their training. This includes the CEO and co-founder Adora Cheung, who cleaned houses alongside cleaners for the first few months after she and her brother Aaron started Homejoy in 2012.

    Before that, she spent a month cleaning for a national cleaning chain so she could better understand the needs of cleaners as well as customers.

    "We didn't know how cleaners work so we figured out that the best way to learn was to become cleaners ourselves," Cheung said.

    The Cheung siblings, graduates of startup accelerator Y Combinator, raised $1.7 million from Andreessen Horowitz, First Round Capital, Resolute.VC, and Max Levchin to start Homejoy in the San Francisco area. The service has grown quickly, launching in 30 more cities within the last eight months. Its simultaneous launches in Saint Louis and Orlando, Fla., on Friday mark its latest milestone.

    All this because Cheung's brother wanted to hire someone to clean his apartment but couldn't find a convenient and safe way to connect with an affordable cleaner online. Homejoy's cleaners work for a set price of $20 an hour. One of Homejoy's selling points is that it says independent cleaners -- who are operating outside of a chain -- can earn more than they typically would, and customers pay less than they would for a chain but get a cleaner who's been prescreened and tested by Homejoy.

    Customers use Homejoy's desktop and mobile site to order a cleaner, choosing which rooms they want cleaned, and can pay extra for certain tasks like laundry, windows, or an oven cleaning. Then they choose a time and pay by credit card, and the cleaners come with profiles and ratings. Cleaners then receive their assignments via an application from Homejoy.

    The company isn't disclosing any metrics such as the number of users or revenue, but when it celebrated its one-year birthday in July, it said it had more than 500 cleaners in its system. That number is now in the "thousands," according to Marlo Struve, the company's director of communications.

    Exec says that it’s dropping prices for its home cleaning service in all nine markets by 25 percent.

    Founder and CEO Justin Kan told me that customers will still get a fixed quote for the entire cleaning, but the change effectively lowers Exec’s prices to $22 per hour per cleaner. (Among other things, that makes Exec more competitive with the Homejoy, which charges $20 an hour.) He also said that gross bookings for the service have been growing by an average of 28 percent per month for the past four months.

    “After surveying users and getting feedback for the past couple months, one of the biggest pieces of feedback we’ve gotten was that we could be providing more value, and our customers would use us more if we were priced lower,” Kan told me via email.

    Kan added that Exec can lower its prices significantly because it’s eliminating “our deeper cleaning options” (such as cleaning walls) from the basic service, and then charging for them on an a la carte basis.

    Staging a home involves preparing a home for sale by making it more attractive to buyers by eliminating clutter and arranging furniture and accessories. But nothing is more important than the cleanliness of the home. By partnering with local real estate agents, American House Cleaning plays an important role in ensuring that homes are market ready.

    If a home is dirty, prospective buyers may wonder if there are more serious maintenance issues that they don’t know about. Also, if the home is empty, it is even more crucial that it is clean. Dusty floors, dirty windows, and grime on kitchen and sink countertops are more visible when there is nothing else to distract the eye.

    Woburn, MA September 19, 2013

    Daimer Industries, Inc.®, the globally-leading USA based supplier of sophisticated cleaning machines, is now shipping the XTreme Power® XPH-9600, one of the most power-rich models in the company's entire portable series. The system is developed to target both low- and high-pile carpets. The powerful carpet steam cleaner is expected to be a favorite among cleaning professionals; it offers enhanced cleaning power due to its impressive temperature and pressure levels as well as other user-friendly technologies.

    “The maintenance of large carpeted areas in offices, such as insurance companies, pose a huge challenge to cleaning staff because they have to work within tight deadlines, and carpets need to be dry within a reasonable period of time,” says spokesperson for Daimer Industries, Inc.®, Matthew Baratta. “Daimer® is pleased to launch one of the best cleaning systems for carpet cleaning that helps professionals do their job better and faster. The XTreme Power® XPH-9600 is ideal for janitorial work and can take the stress out of deadline-driven carpet cleaning and maintenance applications.”

    The high-powered carpet shampooer can generate outstanding pressure levels, ranging from 0-500 PSI, and temperatures reaching as high as 210°F. The XTreme Power® XPH-9600 allows operators to clean large stretches of carpeting efficiently and quickly, important benefits welcomed by those in charge of maintaining the cleaning within offices.

    The heated carpet steam cleaner features two powerful inline heating elements that allow the machine to generate high temperature levels within just five minutes. The faster heating technology helps maximize productivity when tackling tough commercial cleaning applications versus using ordinary carpet cleaners.
    The heat-optimized carpet shampooer also offers automatic fill and automatic dumping features. The high-powered carpet cleaning equipment can be set to automatic refill mode and the waste water can be dumped conveniently into a drain or toilet. Operators just need to connect the system to a water line and focus on the cleaning part of the job without bothering about refilling and draining manually.
    The multi-purpose carpet cleaning machines feature Daimer®'s XTreme-XTraction® patented, self-adjusting 12" head floor wand that is engineered to deliver 60% more suction power than any other wand in the world. The distinctly-designed wand offers suction that can match the power of an additional vacuum motor.
    The dynamic commercial carpet cleaners, which use 110 volt power, features three powerful 2-stage motors and 250 inch water column lift for maximum suction and minimal drying time. The system comes bundled with 100 feet of hoses, provided in convenient 25 feet sections for the ultimate in convenience and versatility. Operators can maximize productivity, as they can clean up to an impressive 31,000 area without having to move the machine at all.
    Daimer®'s exclusive low-flow technology allows these commercial carpet cleaners to release a minimal quantity of water to flow into the carpet while powerful extractors vacuum simultaneously, ensuring faster drying times. The XTreme Power® XPH-9600 is a green cleaning machine, as it minimizes water usage significantly.

    For Additional Information:
    Learn more about the XTreme Power® XPH-9600 by visiting the company's website or calling Matthew Baratta directly at (888) 507-2220. The machine is exported to many countries worldwide.
