3Absenteeism
- Challenge
- The state pays the school for every student that
attends a full day. (This only counts for state
schools, not private) - When students are sick, it means less money for
the school. - Private schools generally must work harder to
keep parents (their source of revenue) happy.
Minimizing the frequency of illness is a great
way to keep parents happy.
4Absenteeism
- Solution
- EnvirOx H2Orange2 117 118
- EPA registered sanitizer, virucide, HBV.
- Track record for reducing absenteeism in schools!
- Clean, residue-free surfaces result in less
transfer of bacteria and viruses from student to
student. - Cleaners wont hurt the students so you can put a
Red Bottle in Every Classroom! (see document in
the EnvirOx Sales Training CD) - Cleaners wont add toxins to the school
environment, minimizing negative effect on
childrens health. Healthier kids stronger
immune systems and fewer sick days!
NOTE Public school absenteeism stats are often
posted online. Typically anything under 90 is
bad. EPA Registered to kill Herpes Simplex
Virus Type 2, Influenza A2/Japan, HBV
(Hepatitis B Virus) and HIV-1 (Human
Immunodeficiency Virus). Except in California.
5Green Cleaning State Mandates
- Challenge
- Many states now mandate that public schools use
Green Seal or Eco-Logo certified products to
clean their facilities. - Solution
- Lead with H2Orange2 Concentrate 117 and 118
- Documented health and environmental profile for
human and environmental safety (note that EPA
registered products cannot be Green Seal or
Eco-Logo certified). - If they are not allowed an exception for EPA
Registered products and they MUST clean with a
Green Seal or EcoLogo certified product turn to
EnvirOx support products for Green Seal and
EcoLogo certified options.
6Health and Safety
- Challenge
- Increasing numbers of children and adults are
sensitive to chemical toxicity and fumes. - Having chemicals that can harm skin or eyes
around children is never good. - Parents are more focused on green and health
initiatives in school. - Solution
- EnvirOx cleaners will not damage humans, animals,
the environment or any water-safe surface. - No asthmagens or carcinogens.
- Keep a red bottle of 118 or 117 in every
classroom, to safely wipe off desks in between
classes reduce disease transfer opportunities,
without exposing students to unnecessary health
risks!
7Budget Crunch
- Challenge
- Budgets are tight in state schools.
- Understanding what the school needs is vital to
offering them the right solution and demonstrates
how value, simplicity and versatility can save
them money. - Solution
- H2Orange2 Cleaning System customers save money
because - Reduce number of products purchased.
- No cleaning chemical related workers comp
claims. - No facility damage.
- Improved attendance.
- Time and efficiency gains due to simplicity of
the system. - Cleaning tools last longer not clogged with
soap or broken down by harsh chemicals.
8Training

- Changing to a new cleaning protocol.
- Custodial staff turn over.
- Training time.
- Language barriers.
- Solution
- Extremely simple system. If someone misuses a
product, it wont hurt anything or anyone!
(Mineral Shock excluded. If it isnt rinsed it
may harm a surface). - Your direct attention and in-service training for
the custodial staff. - EnvirOx Training DVD (English and Spanish).
- Wall charts (color coded and numbered).
9School Bid Process
- The best way for a distributor to have success in
obtaining a schools business is to work with the
school prior to the bid being opened to the
public. - It is also important to have the custodial
decision makers get feedback from their team on
how EnvirOx products are meeting their needs
(through a trial being set up with the school). - Key areas to review and be aware of regarding
bids - Bid deadline date ensure that the bid is
completed at a minimum of one week prior to the
bid deadline, two weeks prior is ideal. - Instructions to bidders this section will
outline specifications for the bid such as
certain types of chemical (Green Seal certified,
etc.), quantities, pricing, freight
responsibility, delivery and billing
requirements, etc. - Insurance Typically an Insurance Liability
Certificate naming the school entity as insured
will need to be provided. - State requirements there are sometimes
requirements of the bid that the bidder be
authorized with the State Department to be able
to bid. There should be a website or contact
within the bid on how to get started with the
state to meet this requirement.
10School Bid Process
- Challenge
- The chemical specified in the bid does not match
an EnvirOx chemical. - Solution
- There are general chemical specifications that
EnvirOx will be able to meet. Engage the EnvirOx
Customer Relations to help identify which
chemical will be the closest match. This is also
a situation that would be easily remedied by
working with the school prior to the bid. If the
school likes EnvirOx, they will spec their bid
with EnvirOx chemical specifications. We also
have canned bid specs for most of our
chemicals, which can be shared with the school.
11School Bid Process
- Challenge
- The bid requires an end-use cost for the chemical
and I dont know how to figure that out. - Solution
- Located on the distributor section of the EnvirOx
website, under the Competitor Information tab is
an End Use Cost Calculator. Fill in how much you
are going to charge per gallon of the chemical
and it will calculate end-use cost for both
quarts and gallons in both heavy and light-duty
solutions.
12School Bid Process
- Challenge
- You have never completed a bid and need some
assistance. -
- Solution
- EnvirOx is more than happy to assist distributors
in completing a bid form. Contact Customer
Relations at 800-281-9604 and we will meet your
needs.
13Selling to Healthcare
Long-term care, nursing homes, hospitals,
clinics, private doctors offices
- Specific Challenges
- Hospital Acquired Infections
- Disconnection between Infection Control and
Housekeeping - Health and safety for staff and patients
- Training, custodial staff turn over
- Laws
- Regulations
14Hospital Acquired Infections
- Challenge
- A hospital acquired infection is defined as
infections not present and without evidence of
incubation at the time of admission to a
healthcare setting translated as, a resident
acquires an infection which originated within the
patient environment. HAIs are on the rise. - Solution
- Confirmed cases of HAIs reported from a patient
environment are now required to be reported
monthly to their State Agencies. State and
Federal Agencies are not required to reimburse
the facility for the cost to abate HAI
infections. As such, the cost for the facility to
heal the residents is entirely on their profits,
and adversely impacts the hospitals managed care
budget.
15Health Safety for Staff Patients
- Challenges
- Increasing numbers of children and adults are
sensitive to chemical toxicity and fumes. - When cleaning staff use toxic cleaning and
disinfecting chemicals it can increase their
likelihood of getting sick or injured. - People with compromised immune systems can be
more sensitive to chemicals and have additional
reactions when exposed to fumes or residues. - Indoor air quality (asthma).
- Acute toxicity (i.e. eye or skin irritation).
- Allergic reactions.
- Soil Loads/Residue on transfer points.
- Solution
- H2Orange2 Concentrate 117 or 118.
16Training
- Challenges
- Training on a new cleaning protocol can be a
challenge. - Custodial staff turn over and training new staff.
- Training time.
- Language and education barriers.
- Solution
- The H2Orange2 Cleaning system, complete with
bi-lingual DVDs, wall charts and custom training
tools.
17Government Initiatives/Acts/Programs
- Challenges
- ARRA (American Reinvestment Recovery Act)
- Preventing HAIs will be the key to hospital cost
control. Government-sponsored initiatives from
health insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) to grants
will take into account HAIs when determining the
allocation of funding and insurance payout versus
confirmed cases. - Act 52 (PA only)
- Act 52 of 2007 requires certain healthcare
facilities in Pennsylvania to report healthcare
associated infections (HAIs) to the Pennsylvania
Department of Health, the Pennsylvania Healthcare
Cost Containment Council and the Pennsylvania
Patient Safety Authority through the Centers for
Disease Control (CDC) and Preventions National
Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). The act is
part of Governor Rendells Prescription for
Pennsylvania plan to reduce and eliminate
healthcare associated infections (HAIs).
18Government Initiatives/Acts/Programs
- Challenges
- Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Plan Report to
Congress - Government program that requires healthcare
facilities to report performance on many levels
to receive payment for Medicare and Medicaid
patients. This includes the determination of
thresholds or improvements in quality that would
substantiate a payment adjustment, the size of
such payments, and the source of funding for the
value-based payments. - I have to have a disinfectant for x, y, z
reason. - The CDC sets guidelines for cleaning and
disinfecting in healthcare settings. - Results are the most important factor.
- The way disinfectants are generally utilized in
healthcare facilities isnt working. This is
clear because HAIs are on the rise.
19Why EnvirOx is the Solution
The solution is in the EnvirOx patented
stabilized hydrogen peroxide technology.
EnvirOxs stabilized hydrogen peroxide cleaning
technology cleans without leaving behind a sticky
residue. Sticky soap residues contribute to
bio-film. Conventional cleaning technology
(a.k.a. detergents/disinfectants) often leave
behind sticky residues. Bacteria within
bio-films are up to 1,000 times more resistant to
antimicrobials than are the same bacteria in
suspension. -Center for Disease Control and
Prevention lthttp//www.cdc.gov/hicpac/Disinfection
_Sterilization/4_0efficacyDS.htmlgt With
EnvirOx, a truly clean surface is the outcome
every time you clean. This is the simple and
effective power of EnvirOx stabilized hydrogen
peroxide technology. H2Orange2 Concentrate 117
and Concentrate 118 are the answer.
20Providing a fail-safe Solution
Hospital acquired infections (HAIs) are on the
rise. Conventional cleaning and disinfection
practices are clearly not working and are not
realistic. Old technologies have healthcare
facilities trapped in a cycle that kills bacteria
and viruses, and also promotes the spread by
leaving a bio-film of residue after every use.
The impracticality of the 10 minute sit time
before wiping Q How often does the custodian
have time to properly clean a contact surface
using this process? 1. Spray and wipe
surface. 2. Spray with a disinfectant. 3. Wait
5 -10 minutes for the full kill claims. 4. Wipe
the surface. A NEVER. Even if this process
happened perfectly every time, surfaces would
still be left with residue from the cleaners and
disinfectants, contributing to a dirty surface.
Additionally, if a person coughed on these
surfaces after the above mentioned procedure, we
are back to square one.
