| One of our first services
Cleaning was the first service carried out by ATHISA MEDIO AMBIENTE in health centres in the 1980s. Cleaning today has to be done by methods that notably reduce the risks of infection. We have highly qualified staff and the necessary means to ensure this.
Our cleaning technique
We determine the zones to clean according to the quantities and availabilities of the materials and relations of these with the users in the various parts of a centre.
 Moping
To stop microorganisms efficiently, we mop the surfaces with 2 buckets, one with soap and the other for rinsing.
Thus we avoid the unnecessary spreading of microorganisms which normally occurs when the same bucket is used for both tasks. When contaminating substances are present, we ad 0,5% bleach.
Sweeping
We rule out sweeping in risk zone to avoid the suspension of microorganisms and dust in the air. On the other hand, we do sweep daily in workshops and stores since fewer people are present.
 Removing dust
We use powerful professional vacuum cleaners to avoid the least escape of dust. The bags collecting dust and dirt are changed after every use.
The electrostatic brush is also a great allied in this task.
Waxing
We insure that the wax apply dries rapidly and is resistant to water, detergent and alcohol. On hard floors and when necessary, professional waxing machinery is used.
Disinfection and disincrustation
We disinfect all the zone of the health centre with complex trialdehycle, sodium hypo chloral or quaternary ammonium. We remove the grease which generates dirt in this liquid with powerful grease remover.
Any corner anywhere
We totally clean every corner, object or surface in the health centres. All cleaning material is wash at the end of each day with hot water and detergent and than, dried.
 Computer equipment
These are cleaned with a dump cloth. The dust is removed with a dry cloth, an electrostatic feather duster, or a vacuum cleaner. We never clean the internal unit of the computer such as CD/DVD reader or the interior or a printer to avoid any damage.
 Plastic and metal furniture
This is cleaned with duster impregnated with neutral solutions, anti-dust products and electrostatic brush for the highest parts. Door handles, skirting boards, hand rails and metal radiators are cleaned with products free from ammoniac.
Wood furniture
If the wood is porous, we remove the dust with a lightly dampened cloth and than wax it.
If it is varnished, lacquered or plasticized, we use a damp cloth and wax it monthly.
Windows and mirrors
The dust is removed with an electrostatic brush or vacuum cleaner and then meticulously cleaned with alcohol base window cleaner. Difficult stains are cleaned with steam.
Blinds
Both sides are cleaned with a dump cloth and hot water and dried with an absorbent cloth. Water vacuum cleaners are also used and dust is removed with the electrostatic brush.
 Lighting
Neons, lamps, spotlights. The lighting is cleaned with the electrostatic brush and cleaned with a soapy cloth.
Waste paper baskets and ashtrays
These are emptied and cleaned with a chamois cloth impregnated with a soapy solution. In the case of waste paper baskets, we close carefully the interior bag and replace it with a new one.
Floors
The whole of the floor is swept with a dump cloth and the dirt put in bags. Mop and detergent are than used to wash it and when necessary, it is scrubbed.
 For linoleum (1) or laminated (2) we use brilliant waxes as well as water, liquid soap and detergent. The wax is removed and replaced every 6 months as a minimum.
For marble (3) or granite (4) we use rotative machines, steel wool, and anti-slip liquid vitrifier to maintain its natural shine.
For fitted carpet (5)A powerful vacuum cleaner is used which removes every all dirt however hidden it is.
Ceilings
Normally, a vacuum cleaner is used to remove the dust and a steam machine to wash them.
 Wash basins and lavatories
A detergent and a disinfectant solution are applied with a red cloth given the use these areas receive. Air freshener is used to avoid bad smells and we replace soap and toilet papers as necessary.

Dust is one of the materials that, together with grease causes more dirt but what is it made of? Where is it found?
The atmospheric dust of the house or that we find in our place of work, shelters and infinity of bacteria, spores, pollen grains, some 100 species of house dust mites remains of the human body such as dandruff, skin, hair, microscopic of nails …
Dust is usually suspended in the air or deposited on objects. It is hidden in the most unlikely places.
The accumulation of all these elements makes up atmospheric dust which if not adequately treated can cause respiratory problems and serious allergies.
pH ( hydrogen power ) was defined by the Dane Sorensen in 1909 as the degree of acidity of a substance. This is fundamental in the world of cleaning. Products to treat dust must have a pH or acidity slightly above this, to become a salt that water can easily absorb.
Thus the pH of dirt varies between 1 and 6 while a cleaning product must be between 7 and 145 to cause the desired chemical reaction.

On the 23rd December 1958, patent number 74,587 and unusual gadget for cleaning was presented, consisting of a fringed mop tight to a broomstick. It is squeezed in a bucket of water. This was the mop invented by Mr. Emilio Bellvis of Zaragoza.
