Case Study: Life Protected Cleaner
Queen Alexandra Hospital
One Cleaner, One Trial, 32% Cost Savings: How Equans Simplified Cleaning at Queen Alexandra Hospital
Environmental cleaning in a 1,600-bed acute hospital is never simple. Multiple products, precise dilution ratios, contact times, storage constraints, and the constant risk of over- or under-dosing all add complexity for frontline teams — and cost for the organisations managing them.
At Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth, Equans set out to change that. Working with GV Health, they trialled Life Protected Cleaner (LPC) — a pH-neutral, pre-measured, water-soluble sheet cleaner — as a single, versatile alternative to the multiple products previously used across floors, hard surfaces, toilets and scrubber machines.
The results:
- 32% estimated annual cost saving
- 100% staff confidence in achieving correct dosage
- 100% rated ease of preparation and use 5/5
- 92% satisfied with overall cleaning performance
- 83% would likely or very likely recommend LPC
- 75% preferred LPC over their previous cleaning product
