Choosing the best microfibre equipment is crucial for proper hygiene and infection prevention. However, not all microfibre tools perform equally — quality, design and durability differ significantly. Rubbermaid Commercial HYGEN™ Microfibre is the preferred solution for industries that prioritise cleanliness and safety because of its innovative design and proven performance.
What Makes HYGEN™ Microfibre Different?
Here’s how the HYGEN product range stands out:
1. Science-Driven Design for Superior Cleaning
Rubbermaid's HYGEN™ Microfibre technology is expertly designed to provide superior cleaning results. The 16-split microfibre strands dramatically increase the material's surface area, allowing it to catch more trash, fluids and microorganisms than standard fabrics. This innovative design does more than just capture dirt; it locks it in, preventing contaminants from spreading back onto surfaces. Extensive research and testing has established its effectiveness, demonstrating how innovation can tackle real-world cleaning challenges.
The HYGEN™ system is meticulously engineered to fulfil the high standards of the healthcare, hotel and food preparation industries. The Defining Microfibre: The HYGEN™ Difference White Paper provides in-depth information about the science behind this product.
2. Proven to Remove Pathogens
HYGEN™ effectively removes 99.9% of microorganisms, including C. diff and coronaviruses, using just water. Third-party testing backs up these assertions, demonstrating its suitability for high-risk environments. The unique zigzag weave increases scrubbing power, removing even tough material from surfaces while reducing cross-contamination. HYGEN™ outperforms traditional approaches in terms of cleanliness, as demonstrated by real-world use cases like the Royal Melbourne Hospital Mopping Comparison.
3. Sustainability and Longevity
Products need to be both sustainable and effective in today's eco-aware climate. Here, too, HYGEN™ shines — microfibre mops and cloths can endure up to 500 washing cycles without losing effectiveness, lowering landfill waste and offering substantial cost savings. Because of their reusability, our microfibre products are an exceptional option for establishments looking to strike a compromise between environmental responsibility and performance. The HYGEN™ product range promotes environmentally responsible cleaning methods while preserving results that lead the industry — thanks to its reduced need for throwaway materials.
4. Conserves Resources Without Compromising Results
HYGEN™ not only cleans efficiently but also saves water and chemicals. Its sophisticated design enables maximum performance even when using plain water, making it an adaptable solution for facilities with strict environmental objectives. HYGEN™ minimises the use of cleaning agents, reducing both operational expenses and chemical exposure for personnel and building occupants.
5. The RFID Advantage
Rubbermaid has created RFID-enabled (Radio Frequency Identification) microfibre solutions to improve operational efficiency. These solutions include real-time tracking capabilities, which allow for more precise inventory control and reduce product losses. The RFID HYGEN™ Microfibre is a game changer for large-scale operations, allowing facilities to monitor usage, track laundry cycles, and assure appropriate supply levels.
6. Enhanced Safety and Productivity
The benefits of HYGEN™ extend beyond cleaning efficacy. Ergonomic designs reduce strain and repetitive motion injuries for staff, as highlighted by the Royal Melbourne Hospital’s ergonomic assessment. Faster drying times minimise slip hazards, creating a safer environment for employees and facility occupants. These improvements translate into greater productivity and better workplace safety — a win for both staff and management.
Why Choose HYGEN?
HYGEN™ is trusted by industry leaders due to its proven track record. Monash Health, for example, claimed enhanced infection prevention and cleaner outcomes after using the system, confirming its reliability in a variety of applications. Rubbermaid's experienced training and resources ensure that facilities adopting HYGEN™ get the most out of their cleaning investments.
