It goes without saying that cleanliness is vital in a care home. Everywhere from the bedrooms and the lobby to the kitchens need to be germ-free. It’s particularly pertinent at this time of year, when Covid and flu is running rampant.
Protec Health Products is dedicated to supplying everything needed to run a care home to the finest standards. We offer a vast amount of equipment and products, including those which can be used to clean all areas of your residence.
Why Cleaning is So Crucial for Care Homes
Care homes are home to some of the most vulnerable people in society. You want to do everything to protect their comfort, dignity and safety.
As you’ll be aware, cleaning is one of the most important parts of running a care home. Maintaining a clean and hygienic environment is absolutely non-negotiable. Cleaning will help protect the physical and mental health of both your staff and residents.
Our cleaning suppliers make it easy to create a welcoming, pleasant atmosphere.
Safeguarding Everyone’s Health and Well-Being
Your residents are likely to have more vulnerable immune systems, whether due to age or undergoing health conditions. This means they’re vulnerable to infections and illnesses.
Our cleaning products will prevent the spread of bacteria, viruses, and other harmful pathogens, ensuring that residents and staff stay healthy.
Rooms like kitchens and bathrooms, which are often shared, are hotspots for germs. Without quality cleaning products, it’s easy for illnesses to spread (especially those like norovirus, E. coli, or even seasonal flu).
Keeping your care home clean isn’t just about eliminating germs; it’s about improving the air quality. Dust, allergens and moulds can cause respiratory issues, or aggravate conditions like
asthma.
Create a Beautiful, Calming Space
Cleanliness isn’t just about how your property looks; it affects how people feel about the space. Nobody wants a care home with dirty floors, a stained kitchen, or unpleasant odours. This creates an atmosphere of neglect and will have people questioning your quality of care (including the inspectors!).
Our cleaning products help you create a spotless care home, which protects people’s dignity.
Help Your Staff Stay Efficient
Protec can help you create a clutter-free, sanitary space that allows staff to carry out their duties effectively. Along with cleaning supplies for kitchens and bathrooms, we provide solutions that make it easier to keep everything well-organised.
Proper cleaning protocols can reduce downtime caused by staff illnesses, improving the overall efficiency of the care home.
Why Kitchen Hygiene is Key in Care Homes
Kitchens and bathrooms need to be hygienic in any communal space, but particularly in care homes. When it comes to kitchens, this is obviously where meals are prepared. Any
lapses in hygiene can have severe consequences.
Poor cleanliness can lead to food contamination, outbreaks of food poisoning, and violations of health regulations.
Our products make it easy to maintain a spotless, sanitised kitchen. This will ensure residents can enjoy their meals with confidence, knowing their food is prepared in a safe environment.
Our Cleaning Products for Kitchens
For care homes looking to maintain impeccable hygiene standards in their kitchens, Protec offers a range of cleaning products tailored to meet the demands of professional settings. Their products are designed to ensure high levels of cleanliness while being safe and easy to use.
Here are some key products that we can provide:
Multipurpose Kitchen Cleaners
These versatile cleaners are essential for wiping down surfaces, countertops, and appliances. They effectively remove grease, stains, and dirt, leaving surfaces hygienically clean.
Degreasers
Kitchens are prone to grease build-up, especially in cooking areas. Protec’s degreasers are specifically formulated to break down tough grease and oil residues, ensuring a pristine cooking environment.

Regular use of sanitisers is crucial for killing germs anywhere food is prepared. Protec’s sanitisers are food-safe, providing effective protection without leaving harmful residues.
Oven and Grill Cleaners
Appliances which are used often, like ovens and grills, can gather grime over time. Our oven and grill cleaners make light work of stubborn burnt-on food and carbon deposits, keeping equipment in excellent condition.
