With the disruptions of 2020 largely behind us, and the promise of a return to some form normality, the topics that attracted the most attention were not all related to the challenges of living with the virus. Facilities managers, sales and operations staff, and executive directors remained interested in simple issues such as blocked drains and persistent odour.

Facilities services, pest and hygiene companies, and janitorial suppliers represented the businesses were at the forefront of tackling the problems of clogged plumbing and ingrained organic grime using biological cleaning innovation.

So, which posts and blogs dealing with biological cleaning solutions dominated in 2020? And did the Corona virus make the list at all?

And their clients increasingly demand environmentally responsible choices. Biological cleaning products with a proven track record tick all the boxes.

2. Don’t Resist the Urge to Purge

This time-tested strategy, combined with creating a naturally healthy environment in drains by introducing friendly bacteria into the system, provides ongoing protection against expensive, often harmful and unnecessarily invasive remedies.

1. Hand Sanitisers – How Effective Are They?

Not surprisingly, the topic that dominated most discussions in 2020 was the pandemic that caused everyone to reassess their hygiene practices. But it didn’t completely overshadow lingering challenges to everyday cleaning problems. This blog asks critical questions about the differences between the many hand sanitisers that have flooded onto the market since COVID-19 brought normal activities to a halt.

For any business that is involved in the ‘crowd’ business, 2020 was especially hard. With office buildings largely devoid of workers, empty shopping centres and stadiums, and disruption all around, it was interesting that odour issues and drain blockages were still in back of mind.
