It’s time to talk about everyone’s favorite product…

None of us want to think of the winter time, but because of the ice melter shortage situation last year, we really have to speak about it earlier.  This year, we have 3 products up for sale, all of which we have carried for years: SSS Select Blend, SSS Ice Melter with MG104 and SSS Commercial Blend.  Please call our office at (607) 786-3766 or speak with a representative today to get preseason pricing on ice melter!  There is a discount on the product now as we are very early in the season and even more of a discount based on volume!

Here is new product literature on the SSS Ice Melter offerings!

MRSA Investigation from USA Today

A USA Today investigation was released today in their newspaper and website shows that the very dangerous MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria has been expanding into communities very quickly.  The antibiotic resistant bacteria was mainly found in hospitals and other health care facilities, but is now spreading and being found in many other facilities.  One such area is NFL locker rooms, as three players on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were found to have the potentially deadly staph infection.

MRSA can also strike hard during flu season, which we have approached here in these winter months.  Careful cleaning and disinfecting with the correct chemicals, allowing proper dwell time, can greatly decrease the chances of a MRSA outbreak at a given facility.

If you have any questions about disinfectants that kill this bacteria, please contact a Riley Maintenance Systems representative.  We have some very effective chemicals that will eliminate this bacteria if used properly and would be happy to stop over to your facility to demonstrate.

Betco Smart Restroom System

After speaking with people that have been having issues with their urinals, mainly that they aren’t being flushed, I wanted to post a little information on here about Betco’s Smart Restroom System.

Here is a video with some media coverage of this system:

By converting your existing urinal into a water free urinal, you can potentially save millions of gallons of water per year, depending on the usage.  Betco has some testimonials at a couple of school districts, which can be seen here:

Pfluggerville ISD
Midland ISD

Hand Washing Article

An interesting article from the Winnipeg Free Press describes the importance of hand washing for controlling disease.  Our hands are the prime source of spreading respiratory and gastrointestinal disease, some of which may be very harmful to us.  With the cold weather already here, it’s important to stop the spread of the flu virus, among many others.

RMS has the Betco Clario foaming hand care system, with antibacterial hand soaps, Green Seal certified hand soap, and alcohol/alcohol-free hand sanitizers.  A video from Betco about proper hand care can be seen here:

Sanotracin from Triple S

As we move into the winter months, flu season is all around us.  It is very important to talk about disinfectants so that we are able to keep our buildings healthy.  Triple S has a newer product called Sanotracin, which can be very important to health care facilities as it the only product on the market that has a 3 minute kill claim for Clostridium Difficile, more commonly known as C.Diff.

Here is a video demonstrating the features and benefits of Sanotracin:

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact a representative at RMS for a demo on Sanotracin!
