Hospitals face constant challenges in keeping environments safe from bacteria and viruses. At Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust (CNWL), supported by OCS — one of the UK's leading facility services providers — traditional cotton socket mops were slowing down cleaning, spreading dirt rather than removing it, and creating unnecessary strain on staff. On top of that, the system was unsustainable, with non-recyclable plastic mop heads and excessive chemical use. OCS and CNWL needed a more hygienic, efficient, and sustainable solution to meet strict infection control standards — without the burden of running an in-house laundry facility.

The Vileda Professional Solution

OCS made the switch to Vileda Professional's r-MicroOne Premium CombiSpeed Pro single-use microfiber mops. This step-change in technology solved multiple challenges at once:

• Removes 99.9% of bacteria and viruses (independently tested)
• 88% sustainable materials and fully recyclable after use
• Pre-dosed system eliminates double dipping and cross-contamination risks
• Lightweight, ergonomic design reduces staff strain
• 30% more floor coverage versus traditional cotton mops
