Earthy Tabs
Recognizing the global shift toward sustainable practices, CleanKings has partnered with Earthy Tabs, a new venture focusing on eco-friendly, chemical cleaning tablets. These tablets are designed to replace traditional cleaning products sold in plastic chemical bottles, significantly reducing plastic waste and environmental impact. CleanKings is conducting a trial run with select clients to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of integrating Earthy Tabs into its cleaning operations.
Objectives
The primary goals of the trial are
Environmental Impact: Reduce plastic waste by transitioning from single-use plastic bottles to reusable containers paired with Earthy Tabs.
Efficiency and Usability: Test the ease of use and effectiveness of Earthy Tabs in a variety of cleaning scenarios.
Cost-Effectiveness: Assess the potential cost savings for both CleanKings and its clients.
Client Feedback: Gather insights from clients and staff on their experience with Earthy Tabs.
The Trial
The trial involves a diverse set of clients across multiple industries, including:
- Hospitality Industry: Partnering with a high-traffic hotel to evaluate Earthy Tabs in rest rooms cleaning, common areas, and kitchen sanitation.
- Healthcare Facilities: Testing the tablets in clinics and healthcare centers where stringent cleaning standards are required.
- Childcare & Early Learning facilities: Using Earthy Tabs for classroom and common areas to assess safety and effectiveness.
