Rochester and Elmore District Health Services Testimonial
Richard of Rochester and Elmore District Health Services tells Eco Steam Cleaning how since implementing a green cleaning process they have purchased 5 Duplex Steam Cleaners, 5 Jetsteam Maxi's, a Jetvac Junior and a Thermogilde, have been a finalist in the Premiers Sustainability Awards and reduced their water usage by 3 million litres per year.
What methods were you previously using before the switch to green cleaning?
We were using the old mop and bucket and chemicals.
What benefits has green cleaning made to your facility?
We have heavily reduced our water and chemical use by around 80%.
Previously, in a space of a month, we would be using 36,530 L of water and 11,790 L worth of chemical. Now, we only use 142 litres of water, and zero chemical per month.

How did staff respond to the new cleaning methods?
First it was a matter of breaking old habits. Now staff love the steamers, I'd almost say its the best thing we've done so far.
Do you believe all facilities should adopt similar sustainability programs?
Yes, definitely. There are so many reason to do so. You will be saving money, using significantly less water and not putting chemicals in the waste water.
