The University of Derby was looking to improve the efficiency of its cleaning operations while reducing expenditure on cleaning chemicals and consumables. With large campus environments to maintain, the University needed effective cleaning efficiency solutions for universities that would help cleaning teams work more effectively, minimise waste, and deliver consistent cleaning standards.
Partnering with Arrow County Supplies, the University implemented an innovative chemical dosing system alongside a tailored training programme to maximise product performance, reduce chemical usage, and improve overall cleaning efficiency.
The Problem
The University of Derby was experiencing rising cleaning costs due to inefficient cleaning routines and the incorrect application of cleaning products.
Excessive chemical usage was increasing expenditure, while valuable time and resources were being lost through inconsistent cleaning practices. The University required a solution that would help control product consumption, support sustainability goals, and improve operational efficiency across its cleaning teams.
Excessive product usage
Inefficient cleaning processes
Need for greater cost control
Cleaning chemicals were being overused, resulting in increased costs and unnecessary product waste.
Time and resources were being lost through inconsistent cleaning routines and product application methods.
The University wanted to reduce cleaning expenditure while maintaining high standards of cleanliness across its facilities.
The Solution
Arrow recommended the implementation of the Quick & Easy System, an innovative self-dosing cleaning solution designed to eliminate overuse and ensure precise chemical dilution.
Alongside the system installation, Arrow delivered comprehensive staff training to help cleaning teams maximise product performance and adopt more efficient cleaning practices.
Key improvements included:
The Outcome
By combining innovative cleaning technology with practical user training, Arrow helped the University of Derby create a more efficient and sustainable cleaning operation.
The implementation of the Quick & Easy system significantly reduced product waste, improved cleaning processes, and delivered measurable cost savings across campus facilities. Cleaning Efficiency Solutions for Universities:
Streamlined cleaning processes
Staff were able to work more efficiently using controlled chemical dosing and targeted product usage.
Extended product life
Accurate dosing reduced unnecessary consumption and maximised the value of cleaning products.
Significant cost savings
Lower chemical usage and improved cleaning efficiency helped reduce overall cleaning expenditure.
Improved sustainability
Reduced product waste and smarter chemical management supported a more sustainable cleaning operation.
