From Slippery Floors to Dry Hands: Winter Cleaning Challenges Solved

As the colder months set in, workplaces face a unique set of cleaning and hygiene challenges. Wet weather, muddy boots, and icy conditions can quickly turn entrances into slip hazards, while the combination of central heating and frequent handwashing often leaves staff and visitors with dry, uncomfortable skin. At Hygenol, we understand these seasonal pressures and we’ve got the products and solutions to help you stay ahead.

Keeping Entrances Safe and Clean

One of the biggest winter risks is slippery floors caused by rain, snow, and grit being tracked indoors. The right entrance matting is your first line of defence, trapping moisture and dirt before it spreads. Pair this with our heavy-duty floor cleaners and degreasers, designed to cut through salt and grime without leaving a residue, ensuring floors remain safe and spotless.

For businesses with high footfall, our super concentrates are a smart choice. Not only do they reduce chemical waste, but they also deliver powerful cleaning performance—ideal for tackling winter’s toughest messes while keeping costs under control.

Hand Hygiene Without the Dryness

Winter is also peak season for colds and flu, making hand hygiene more important than ever. But frequent washing, combined with dry indoor air, can leave hands sore and cracked. Our range of mild hand soaps and alcohol-based sanitisers are formulated to be effective against germs while remaining gentle on skin.

To go one step further, we recommend stocking up on hand care lotions in staff washrooms. Providing moisturising options not only supports wellbeing but also encourages consistent hygiene practices.

Washroom Essentials That Work Harder in Winter

Paper towels are often the preferred choice in colder months, offering both hygiene and comfort compared to air dryers. Our sustainable paper towel range ensures you can meet increased demand without compromising on eco-credentials. Pair these with our biodegradable refuse sacks, which are perfect for handling the seasonal surge in waste responsibly.
