19/11/2008
As part of the World Toilet Day, Initial Hygiene Singapore pledge with Restroom Association Singapore (RAS) and other participating organisations and partners to commit to the four-pronged approach to achieve the vision of clean toilets in Singapore by 2010.
Initial Hygiene’s involvement as the main sponsor in this event is to be focused on making a difference in the way we mobilise businesses and public opinions, win people’s support, and help make a real difference in the washroom/ toilet environment here by leading in innovation and services that makes a difference to the washroom standards in Singapore.
Ms Donna Yan, General Manager of Initial Hygiene Singapore commented, “At Initial, we firmly believe in behaving responsibly towards people, creating positive impact and performing a key role in the communities in which we operate.”
She added, “We aim to be the expert and leader in hygiene by introducing some of the most progressive washroom and service innovations to benefit our customers and also to all toilet users.”
The following services were introduced at today’s event:
1. Elite Anti Bacterial Warm Air Hand Dryer: Introducing the world’s first air management system which delivers sanitised hand drying solution in the shortest drying time of 9 seconds. The hand dryer which is fitted with multiple filter cartridge system removes particles, odours and pathogens from the air. An added fragrance cartridge is available to complete a clean, sanitised and scented hand dry. Backed by Initial Hygiene service elements, the Elite Anti Bacterial Warm Air Hand Dryer will totally enhance washroom/ toilet experience.
2. Surface Shield:It is easy for pathogens to contaminate furniture, toys, phones, computer keyboards, door knobs and many other areas. These surfaces harbor harmful microbes that can infect. The service protects your indoor environment from cross-contamination by coating and treating these surfaces for effective round-the- clock germ control.
3. Deep Clean Hygiene Treatment: For washroom providers, if you have not had this hygiene treatment before, chances are you have years of build up of uric acids, bacteria, dirt and grime. This build up creates an offensive smell in your washrooms. Our Deep Clean Hygiene Treatment will instantly improve your washroom environment and restore it to a hygienic 'new'.
