The requirement for regular and effective cleaning and disinfection is absolutely essential, especially in hospitals, healthcare and care facilities.
Cleaning surfaces, equipment and floors to disinfect them and optimise infection control means that the tools used to do the cleaning need to be thoroughly washed and disinfected themselves, in particular cleaning cloths and mops.
JTM Service recommend a range of machines specifically built for this purpose called the Miele MOPSTAR washing machines. The popularity of these specialist machines has increased recently, especially for contract cleaners in hospitals. That is because re-usable cleaning cloths and mops should be thermally disinfected and the MOPSTAR washing machines from Miele Professional can do this in compliance with Health Authority guidelines and also guidelines issued by the Robert Koch Institute, reducing the risk of cross-contamination when re-using the mops and cloths.

The benefits of the Miele MOPSTAR machine include:
- Ideal commercial washing machine for the Cleaning & disinfection of cloths & mops.
- A ‘dewatering’ process designed to improve the removal of soil before the cleaning process begins.
