Winchester, VA, October 30, 2006 - Rubbermaid Commercial Products (RCP) wins Product Innovation Award for its new Healthcare Microfiber Cleaning Cart at the cleaning industry’s largest trade show, the International Sanitary Supply Association (ISSA) show. ISSA hosted its second annual Innovation Award Contest at this year’s show in Chicago.
The Product Innovation Awards were judged by the cleaning industry’s distributors, building service contractors and in-house service providers attending this year’s ISSA show, who cast their votes for the most innovative products in five different categories: chemicals, paper/plastics, power equipment, supplies & accessories and other products. Of the numerous products displayed, show attendees selected RCP’s new Healthcare Microfiber Cleaning Cart as the most innovative product in the supplies & accessories category.
“We are proud to continue to be recognized as a leader in product innovation,” said Bob Lauer, product manager for Rubbermaid Commercial Products. “We work very hard to develop useful products that will solve our customers’ challenges. This award, coming from our customers, says we’re getting it right.”
The award-winning Healthcare Microfiber Cleaning Cart works hand-in-hand with Rubbermaid’s full line of microfiber products. The cart features easy opening, locking cabinet doors and a hood that meets JCAHO healthcare industry standards for keeping cleaning supplies concealed and secure. Storage features include Tool Grip holders and high-capacity bins for microfiber pads and other supplies. Microfiber Disinfecting, Pedal Wring and Press Wring Buckets attach directly to the cart via a new, patent-pending Lock ‘N Go system—creating an all-in-one microfiber cleaning solution.
