Share:
“When initially using the i-mop on the floors of a new site the water in the dirty water tank is almost always black. I explain to our clients that this is a good thing, because it means the dirt and grime is no longer on the floor.”
- William White, HPRO General Manager
When it comes to specialised cleaning methods in the Early Learning sector, one company stands out for its unwavering commitment to the health and wellbeing of children – HPRO. This specialised cleaning company is on a mission to mandate a higher level of cleanliness and hygiene standards in these crucial spaces, regulating cleaning in an unregulated industry.
Who is HPRO? Introducing the Cleaning Innovator
HPRO recognises the importance of a clean and sanitised environment for children 0-5 years understanding Childcare Centre floors are an integral part of learning and development in young children. The multipurpose floor space balances foot traffic along with learning environments. H-Pro uses floor cleaning technologies in each playroom to control the spread of dirt, bacteria, and viruses.
We spoke with William White, the insightful General Manager of H-PRO, to learn about their journey in finding the best floor cleaning solution that has revolutionised the industry.
The i-mop: Redefining Childcare Floor Cleaning
H-PRO's core values center on establishing safe and sanitary environments for young learners through the eradication of dirt, bacteria, and viruses. While they achieved success in this area, they also acknowledged the necessity for a more comprehensive solution when it comes to floors. William expressed, "In Child Care Centers, the floors play a crucial role in a child’s learning environment.. They spend a significant amount of time in contact with the ground, which exposes them to chemical toxins, harmful bacteria and viruses.."

In response to these concerns, H-PRO embarked on extensive research to discover a floor cleaning system that could meet their stringent hygiene standards. This led them to the i-mop, a highly esteemed and innovative floor scrubber that immediately captured their attention. After conducting thorough research and comparing various industrial and commercial floor scrubbers, William arranged a demonstration between the i-mop and a competitor's model on the floor of a Child Care Center. "There was a dramatic difference between the two. The i-mop not only cleaned the floor better but left it hygienically clean".
How H-PRO Keep Childcare Centers Clean:
The remarkable contrast between the floor scrubbers stems from the i-mop's impressive ability to eradicate over 97% of dirt and grime. It accomplishes this by employing suction to remove dirty water from the floors, so clean and dirty water are separated, effectively preventing the spread of bacteria between different rooms, contributing significantly to the overall hygiene of the Centre’s floors.
William emphasises the crucial role of floor cleaning as an important measure in the control of cross-contamination, he shares how new clients have noticed an improvement in the appearance and cleanliness of the floors. William attributes this positive change to the i-mop's thorough cleaning capabilities. Currently, they dedicate an i-mop for each site, further ensuring the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene.
The H-PRO and i-mop Partnership: Improving Childcare Center Hygiene
Implementing the i-mop into H-PRO's cleaning regime was a smooth process. Staff underwent comprehensive online and on-site training, ensuring they were well-equipped to handle the advanced cleaning technology.
The i-mop floor scrubber has proven to be a game-changer for H-PRO with their employees enjoying its ease of use and maneuverability, making it a breeze to scrub and mop every square inch of the floor with precision and efficiency.
William shared, “When initially using the i-mop on the floors of a new site the water in the dirty water tank is almost always black. I explain to our clients that this is a good thing, because it means the dirt, viruses and bacteria is no longer on the floor.”

No innovation comes without challenges, and H-PRO took the safety of their employees and stakeholders seriously. Their Operations Manager, Carol, worked extensively with Work Safe QLD to mitigate potential issues related to slips, trips falls, and electrical safety. With the i-mop in place, H-PRO found a solution that not only maintained their brand standards but also safeguarded their workforce.
“Anytime we can maintain brand standards, exceptional client service delivery, and keep employees and stakeholders safe, you know you've got a great solution.” says William.
H-PRO's successful journey with the i-mop is testament to the strong partnership they share with i-team. The latter's commitment to delivering products and services that exceeded expectations played a pivotal role in H-PRO's ability to uphold hygiene best practices.
Positive Outcomes for Childcare Centers
Based on H-PRO's experience and the overwhelmingly positive feedback from their Early Learning clients, the i-mop floor scrubber comes highly recommended. “Its exceptional cleaning capabilities and dedication to hygiene make it an indispensable asset for any business looking to prioritise cleanliness and safety.”

By elevating the cleanliness and hygiene standards in Childcare Centers, they have paved the way for a healthier and more conducive environment for the growth and development of young learners.
