Why this floor cleaner earns its place
Nova Safety Floor Cleaner is built for both swift soil removal on a daily basis and proper deep cleaning of safety flooring, covering the two different demands a safety floor actually gets — routine maintenance and the periodic deeper clean that keeps it performing.
Its bactericidal formula complies with BS EN 1276 and is shown effective against pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli, staphylococcus aureus and E. hirae, killing 99.99% of bacteria after 5 minutes' contact time. That's real, named-organism testing rather than a vague claim, and it's why it's specified for use in hospitals, schools, nursing homes and any other setting where a genuinely clean, safe floor isn't optional.
Beyond the bactericidal action, it's noted for bringing back the colour of flooring — safety floors dull and grey over time under foot traffic and standard mopping, and this is formulated to clean deep enough to restore some of that original colour rather than just lifting surface dirt. It leaves a pleasant residual fragrance once dry.
COSHH: six habits of safe chemical use
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health — the routine every commercial kitchen and cleaning cupboard is expected to run.
SDS
Read the label and the manufacturer’s safety data sheet — the pictograms tell you what you are holding.
Who could be harmed, and how badly? Judge likelihood against severity before anyone opens the cap.
Eliminate or substitute first, engineer and organise next — PPE is the last line, never the first.
Keep the controls working: check ventilation, dosing equipment and storage stay as they should be.
Everyone who uses it knows the hazards, the correct dilution and the PPE — before the first shift, not after.
Products and processes change. Reassess when they do, and keep the record that proves it.
