Did you know?
Our award-winning ‘Internet of Things’ service uses rodent devices with embedded sensors and mobile connectivity. The units communicate with Rentokil’s online ‘Command centre’ and technicians and customers are alerted through myRentokil, the industry’s leading online customer portal. This allows a rapid response to emerging problems on site before they take hold.
A chemical-free heat treatment used to control bed bugs and to help prevent re-infestations. The heat treatment kills all lifecycle stages of pest insects – eliminating eggs, larvae and adult insects in one treatment.
Rentokil undertakes research to keep ahead of changing regulatory requirements. For instance our RADAR rodent control units use CO2 rather than traditional rodenticides.
Initial Hygiene
Initial Hygiene provides a dedicated and expert hygiene service. It offers the widest range of washroom hygiene services including the provision and maintenance of products such as air fresheners, sanitisers, feminine hygiene units, hand dryers, paper and linen towel dispensers, soap dispensers, toilet paper dispensers and floor protection mats.
Our two hygiene ranges, Signature and Reflection, offer a full range of services and a consistent look and feel across a customer’s washroom.
A clean and hygienic environment is a safer, healthier and more pleasant place to live or work. Establishing good hygiene practices throughout an organisation reduces the risk of infection being passed from person to person. As a result, fewer days are lost to sickness, which translates directly into real cost savings and increased productivity.
Did you know?
Initial has launched a full range of no-touch hygiene products to reduce cross-contamination risk in the washroom.
Our new colour range of hygiene products are available in nine colours and three finishes – to match customer’s own washroom decoration or brand, as well as building high standards of hygiene.
Handwashing's importance in the washroom is readily acknowledged as a means of reducing infection, but its practice can be improved in most organisations. Rentokil Initial has undertaken a series of trials involving 100,000 people which monitored handwashing compliance. As a result of the trials, handwashing compliance rose by between 30-50% when Initial HygieneConnect was installed. This monitors compliance and displays an anonymous compliance percentage for people in the building to see. It changes behaviour quickly and is sustained.
In the UK, Initial Hygiene has replaced 50,000 aerosol-based air fresheners with Modular Airfesh units. These are more environmentally friendly, with 46% waste reduction, including 25% fewer chemicals (replaced by ones with low toxicity and flammability leading to safer disposal).
