In the world of professional cleaning, achieving optimum results is not a matter of chance. There is a methodology that, when understood and applied correctly, ensures effective and efficient hygiene processes: the Sinner Circle.
At HeySupply, we not only distribute high quality cleaning products in Spain, but we also offer tailor-made training in cleaning and hygiene systems, treatments and protocols, always with great respect for the environment.
What is the Sinner Circle?
The Sinner’s Circle is a model that represents the four essential factors involved in any cleaning process:
- Chemical action
- Mechanical action
- Temperature
- Time
These factors are interrelated and, when properly balanced, lead to effective and sustainable cleaning.
Explanation of the 4 factors
Chemical action
This refers to the use of detergents and chemicals that help to dissolve and remove dirt. The choice of the right product is crucial to tackle different types of contaminants. The effectiveness of a chemical agent depends on its ability to interact with the type of dirt present. At HeySupply, we promote the use of green products that are effective and environmentally friendly.
Mechanical action
Involves the physical movement that helps to dislodge dirt, either by manual scrubbing, brushing or the use of specialised machinery. The intensity and method of mechanical action can vary according to the surface and type of soiling. The correct use of tools such as brushes, cloths or cleaning machines is essential.
Temperature
Heat can enhance the effectiveness of chemical agents and facilitate the removal of grease and oil. Increasing the temperature can accelerate chemical reactions and improve the solubility of certain contaminants. However, it is important to consider the nature of the surfaces to avoid damage.
Time
The period during which the cleaning agents act on the surface. Adequate time allows the chemicals to perform their function optimally. Respecting the action time of the products is essential. Insufficient time may result in ineffective cleaning, while excessive time may be unnecessary and inefficient.
Needs assessment for the application of factors
Before starting any cleaning process, it is vital to carry out an analysis of the specific needs:
- Type of dirt: Organic, inorganic, grease, dust, etc.
- Surface characteristics: Porous, smooth, sensitive to certain chemicals, etc.
- Environmental conditions: Ambient temperature, humidity, ventilation.
This study allows the four Sinner Circle factors to be adjusted to maximise efficiency and minimise environmental impact.
Variables in the factors depending on the study
Depending on the previous analysis, one or more factors may need to be adjusted:
- If not much mechanical action can be used (e.g. on delicate surfaces), it can be compensated by increasing time or chemical action.
- If the temperature cannot be high (to avoid damage), the mechanical action or exposure time can be increased.
- If time is short, the mechanical action can be intensified and more concentrated chemical agents can be used (always following the safety recommendations).
Conclusion
Sinner’s Circle is a fundamental tool for understanding and optimising cleaning processes. By correctly balancing its four factors, it not only achieves more effective cleaning, but also promotes sustainability and respect for the environment.
At HeySupply, we are committed to training and advising on efficient and environmentally friendly cleaning practices. We believe that, through knowledge and proper application of principles such as the Sinner Circle, it is possible to achieve high standards of hygiene without compromising our planet.
