Hive Cleaning Using the Toucan Eco
Chemical-Free Cleaning with Toucan Eco
Our latest drive for green cleaning technology has led us to roll out the Toucan Eco system across our operations. This innovative system allows us to make an effective disinfectant and cleaning agent on site using nothing more than tap water and salt. By reducing chemical miles and plastic packaging by over 80%, Toucan Eco delivers outstanding cleaning results with zero harmful environmental effects, supporting our commitment to sustainable, low-carbon commercial cleaning.
Smart Scrubbing with the Pudu SH1
We've introduced the Pudu SH1 smart upright scrubber dryer into our cleaning operations. Unlike a bulky autonomous floor robot, the SH1 is a compact, walk-behind machine that combines the manoeuvrability of a mop with the deep-cleaning power of an industrial scrubber, making it ideal for offices and other complex commercial spaces. Compared with conventional mopping, the Pudu SH1 reduces water and chemical use by up to 80% and cuts cleaning time by around 70%, while its high-pressure, high-speed brushes and powerful suction leave floors scrubbed and dry in a single pass.
Faster, Cleaner Results with iMops
We use iMops across our sites to achieve faster, more hygienic cleaning results while reducing water and chemical consumption. iMops clean up to six times faster than traditional wet mopping, with independent ATP testing showing surfaces left up to 90% cleaner, and use up to 75% less water and chemicals than conventional mop-and-bucket cleaning. Floors also dry almost instantly, reducing slip and fall risk on site.
Sustainable Equipment and Materials
Sustainability also shapes the everyday equipment and materials we choose. We use iVacs as part of our vacuuming equipment, and we've moved away from single-use plastic by switching to recycled glass bottles for our hand soap and lotion dispensers, cutting down on plastic waste across every site we service and supporting our broader sustainable procurement strategy.
Smarter Workforce Management Through Technology
Innovation at Hive extends beyond cleaning equipment into how we manage our people. Our dedicated Workforce app helps us manage employee time efficiently. This smart scheduling technology improves operational efficiency, reduces administrative overhead and ensures the right cleaning teams are deployed to the right sites at the right time, supporting the consistent, reliable service our clients expect.
