Cedar Court is a collection of luxury four-star hotels in Yorkshire, including Harrogate, Wakefield Wakefield, Huddersfield, and Bradford. This group has over 35 years of experience in hospitality and provides warm Yorkshire hospitality to its guests. They also offer quality residences that reflect their personalities.
Wayne Topley, the managing director of the Covid group, was trying to find ways to protect staff and customers from the virus and improve the cleaning routine covering over 500 bedrooms. He also wanted to reduce their environmental impact. Wayne approached Spectrum Cleaning Solutions to discuss the possibilities.
Jo Thompson, Spectrum’s managing director, introduced Cedar to Toucan Eco products. These eco-friendly products produce a disinfectant cleaner that works from tap water, normal sodium, and electrochemical activation.
Thompson said, “It’s been great providing the Cedar Court cleaning teams with an efficient solution like Toucan Eco.” Cedar Court made a great investment during the initial stages of the pandemic. They didn’t have to rely on an extended supply chain and could make their disinfectant cleaners on-site.
Depending on the site’s requirements, the hotel group installed Toucan Eco Active Plus or Toucan Active-Active. Toucan Eco Active can make 10 litres, and Toucan Eco Active Plus can make 40 litres in just 15 minutes. The Active Plus model offers additional accessories such as bucket and bottle dispensers.
This solution is being used in conjunction with the usual cleaning products of microfibre cloths and mops, as well as blue roll and microfibre cloths. It can be used in all areas, including bathrooms, reception, catering, dining, bedrooms, and bathrooms.
Topley explained why Cedar Court brought the eco-friendly cleaning solution on board: “We chose Toucan Eco when the pandemic began, because it was simple to use, accessible for all our team members, as well as providing a better cleaning result.”
“The multipurpose cleaner is loved by the teams and has helped us with many different cleaning requirements over the past 18 months. But what I love most about it is its many uses.”
Toucan Eco has allowed us to reduce repeat chemical use and plastic waste. It also saves time. You can now find one bottle suitable for many uses and easy refilling.
Toucan Eco is my favourite eco-friendly cleaner. It’s simple to use and effective. This is a revolutionary way of working.
“Over the past twelve months, our cleaning chemical costs decreased by 75%, and the initial investment in cleaning chemicals has been returned.” But, what I find most important is that my teams use a safe and sustainable product in every business area.
We have already noticed savings and efficiency in terms of how much time team members can save by using one product across all hotel areas. We are using a milder, safer chemical that uses no packaging and has 100% more sustainable activities in mind. It’s a win for all.
“We started with Toucan Eco, but over the past 12 months, we have moved all our housekeeping purchases to Spectrum. Spectrum, along with Toucan Eco, has provided excellent on-site support. Wayne said they are always open to new ways of working and supporting me and my business.
