UMF Corporation, which develops textiles for infection prevention and commercial cleaning, has teamed with Logan’s Healthcare Linen Systems. UMF will offer PerfectCLEAN microfiber products, which includes reusable microfiber wipers, mops and accessories.

Additionally UMF Corporation will work with Logan on its Hygiene Specialist® Training program, which introduces environmental services staff to the company’s color-coded, ONEperROOM methodology for reducing the risk of cross-contamination.

While the partnership has focused on hospitals, executives say all healthcare executives understand the importance of training environmental services staff.

“The most sophisticated C-suite healthcare executives understand that ES staff is critical to improving patient outcomes, elevating the facility’s reputation and boosting financial health. Coupling high performance microfiber textiles with ES staff training is the best way to help reduce the risk of hospital associated infections,” says UMF Corporation CEO George Clarke.

Logan executives say UMF’s products are superior.

“UMF Corporation’s PerfectCLEAN products were superior to any of the other microfiber products we researched,” said Daisy Sims, sales manager, Logan’s Healthcare Linen Systems. “And Clarke and UMF’s Baldwin Galan were in the process of developing the company’s Hygiene Specialist Training program, which was an ideal way to introduce the products to our customers.”
