Why Do Microfiber Mops Work So Well?

For those who don’t know, microfiber is a synthetic material which consists of an interlocking blend of two main fibers – polyester and polyamide. While the polyester is useful for polishing and cleaning, the polyamide is absorbent and quick-drying. With the two fibers combined, the individual qualities of both are united and the unique effectiveness of microfiber is created.

The effectiveness of the microfibers lie exclusively to the construction of each strand and the overall mop – each square inch containing approximately 90,000 fibers. Each fiber has been split to create millions of tiny hooks that attract, absorb and remove all kinds of dirt, dust and bacteria from a surface.

Ebola Continues To Be a Concern in Healthcare and Government

While the attention around Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in United States news outlets is subsiding, it continues to be a concern to the healthcare industry and government organizations, including the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

On November 24, the CDC released a health advisory regarding Ebola risk in Mali due to confirmed cases in Bamako, Mali. According to the CDC's health advisory, all travelers entering the United States from Mali are subject to the 21-day active post-arrival monitoring and movement protocols now in effect for travelers from Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, with twice-daily temperature and symptom checks in coordination with state or local public health authorities.

If EVD is still a concern to you and or your customers, or you wish to continue to be proactive with this disease, we recently published a page of our suggested infection control SKUs.

Fighting Ebola - Tips on Protecting Yourself from the Ebola Virus Disease

While the Ebola viruses are found primarily in African countries, on September 30, 2014 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Texas Health Department confirmed the first ever case of Ebola in the United States. With this outbreak claiming more than 3,000 lives in West Africa and has a death rate of up to 90% (according to World Health Organization (WHO)), the CDC is confident that the strength of the U.S. healthcare system will help in preventing the spread of the threatening virus here in the United States.

Reliable Paper Supports Breast Cancer Awareness in New Promotion

In an effort to show their support for breast cancer research Reliable Paper has agreed to donate 10% of their profits for items that fall under their breast cancer awareness product page – for the whole month of October: Pink! Breast Cancer Awareness

Reliable Paper Inc., a supply chain solutions provider of low cost quality products for janitorial, restaurant, foodservice, home and office needs, supports the non-profit efforts to raise breast cancer awareness and the research behind finding a cure. So, for the month of October, Reliable Paper has agreed to donate 10% of the total profits they receive for any of the qualifying products which tie into their product category in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness and Research.

According to BreastCancer.org in the year 2000 breast cancer incidences began decreasing in the U.S. – after increasing for the previous two decades, they then dropped by another 7% between 2002 and 2003 alone.

Although we are making headway on the effort to find a cure, we’re still facing the chance of about 12% of U.S. women developing invasive breast cancer over the course of their lifetime. In 2014 alone there was an estimated 295,240 new cases of cancer expected to be diagnosed and 40,000 have been expected to die U.S. this year alone – although this is still much lower than the previous years.

While the above numbers mention the effects on women most people still don’t understand that, although the disease occurs almost entirely in women, men can get it too, and about 2,360 new cases are expected to be diagnosed in men and in a man’s lifetime risk of breast cancer is about 1 in 1,000.

So starting October 1st, 2014 any cases of qualifying products with on the following link – Reliable Paper will donate 10% of the sales made for the entire month of October of the qualifying items, in an effort to help support the cause:

Supply Ninja Speaks: TO SHOP AROUND, OR TO CONSOLIDATE? THAT IS THE QUESTION!!

In this new post from Supply Ninja "TO SHOP AROUND, OR TO CONSOLIDATE? THAT IS THE QUESTION!!" she explores two very different purchasing approaches. She states you can either consolidate your purchasing to one or a few select vendors, or you can shop around from vendor to vendor with the mission of getting the lowest pricing. In her words - LET'S EXPLORE:

Let's assume that you do have a few excellent vendor contacts. Lets assume you think you're getting a better price for another product at another vendor rather than buying everything from one single reliable source... here's why you're wrong.

Summer’s Here – Sun Protection Matters

Do you and your employees have the protection you need to be at your best all summer long?

As the adage goes “a healthy worker is a happy productive worker” and for outdoor workers who receive five to 10 times more ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure yearly (Cancer Council NSW, 2011) they’re at a greater risk of developing skin cancer.

A small investment in sunscreen can have the biggest impact by decreasing over-exposure of UV rays by at least 93% (American Cancer Society, 2014). It’s important to take the preventative measure even though there is no way to block out 100% of the sun’s UV rays and completely stop chances of melanoma.

You may think the over-the-counter sunscreen does the job, but you should know it likely doesn’t have the same protective properties industrial grade sunscreen does.
