Cleaning Case Study - Rogers Adult Wellness Center

Rogers Adult Wellness Center is a 55,000 square-foot facility that provides services to adults 50 years of age and older, including:

  • A state-of-the-art fitness center with cardiovascular and strength training equipment.
  • Full-size gymnasium.
  • Wellness studio.
  • Billiards room.
  • Social wellness lounge.
  • Warm water therapy pool.
  • Activity pool.
  • Wellness garden.
  • Arts and crafts studio.
  • Demonstration kitchen.
  • Library with a computer lab, and;
  • Multiple meeting, social, and educational rooms.

Providing high-quality cleaning outcomes for a facility of this size that offers such a wide range of hands-on services intended for consumption by a demographic conventionally considered vulnerable to common illnesses and susceptible to many chemicals found in commercial cleaning and disinfectant products requires extraordinary focus, attention to detail, expertise, professionalism, and a commitment to the highest standards of cleanliness and occupant safety.

 

Challenge - Achieving High-Quality Cleaning Outcomes in a Large Diverse Facility

Maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness, health, and safety in a 55K sq. ft. facility requires a significant number of highly trained and well-equipped custodial providers working as a team.

In addition to well-coordinated team cleaning methods and accurate workloading, proper care must be taken with the use and application of various cleaning and disinfection products to avoid interfering with the health and wellness of facility occupants through VOC exposure--a significant health risk to those aged 50 and over.

According to an article published to ERS Journals;

In this study, we found a significant association between urinary levels of hippuric acid and methylhippuric acid and decreased lung function.

These are metabolites of toluene and xylene, respectively, which are widely used in our daily necessities, such as paints, varnishes, rubber and disinfectants.

We also found a significant association between markers of oxidative stress and parameters of lung function.

This is in line with the current understanding of the relationship of oxidative stress to a reduction in pulmonary function and increased cardiopulmonary mortality.

In addition, it supports the hypothesis that VOCs might influence lung function by exacerbating oxidative stress.
