The HYGEN™ system is revolutionized to best meet the demanding needs of end-users. All Microfiber products are improved to feature a patented zig-zag design made of polyester for added scrubbing power and new construction that increases durability to withstand 200 launderings with bleach. The PULSE™ Spray Mop launches and carts optimized for use with microfiber are added to the HYGEN™ system.
2009
HYGEN™ Disposable Microfiber Mops and Cloths debut as a vital addition to the HYGEN™ system. They help meet a key need for single-use infection prevention products that provide optimal microbe removal in high-risk areas of Healthcare environments.
