Quickclean System: the solution for perfect glass cleaning.

, , , ,

A glass surface with streaks is easy to spot, no need to touch it or get close: just look.

Keeping glass, mirrors and partitions spotless is one of the daily challenges in hotels, hospitals, schools and commercial spaces.

At Hilados Biete – Ressol we have developed the Quickclean System, a modular solution designed to deliver professional results without the need for a traditional wetting tool or glass cleaner, reducing work time and preventing streaks or scratches on delicate surfaces.

The traditional method means more steps, more time and more room for error

The usual glass cleaning process works well, but it involves many steps to achieve a perfect result. To use the traditional method, you need a wetting tool, a squeegee and then a final pass with a dry cloth.

The trick isn’t to clean slowly to do it well, but to have the right tool to get the job done right the first time.

Three products, one system designed not to fail

Hilados Biete – Ressol and our Quickclean System: a holder and an interchangeable microfiber pad that combine depending on the surface and the type of dirt.

  1. The holder: manual cleaning or working at height, you choose

Handle pad holder is designed for manual cleaning: lightweight, ergonomic and with a spiked base that holds the pad firmly in place during cleaning.

For higher areas such as glass walls, skylights or large windows, we offer the pole-mounted holder.

It is compatible with RESSOL’s Blue Line telescopic poles or with any aluminum pole on the market. Say goodbye to ladders.

It’s perfect for: hotels, hospitals and schools with glass surfaces at different heights, and teams that alternate between manual and elevated cleaning with the same pad.

  1. Terry pad: for the most stubborn dirt

  1. Microglass pad: the streak-free finish

Food Hygiene Brushes: Types, Uses and How to Choose the Right One

, ,

Choosing the wrong brush can lead to cross-contamination, reduced efficiency and issues during hygiene audits.

In the food industry, selecting the right cleaning brush is far from a minor detail. Recently, we conducted a technical training session together with Igeax, a manufacturer specialized in brushes for the food industry. During the session, we reviewed key criteria such as colour coding, different fibre stiffness levels, and how to select the most suitable brush depending on the surface, level of dirt, and area of application.

The training reinforced a key idea: food safety starts with the right tools.

Why are food hygiene brushes different?

Food hygiene brushes are designed for demanding environments, going beyond standard cleaning requirements. In addition to effective cleaning, they must help prevent operational errors and support hygiene protocols.

They feature colour coding, a practical system used to differentiate areas and support HACCP systems in environments where cross-contamination is a risk. In Spain, organizations such as AESAN highlight the importance del HACCP as the foundation of self-control systems in the food industry.

What should a professional food-grade brush offer?

Not all brushes meet the requirements of these environments. A professional brush should provide:

  • Food-grade materials that do not transfer substances or promote bacterial growth
  • High thermal resistance, allowing disinfection in autoclaves (up to 121°C)
  • Reliable performance in cold environments, suitable for cold storage (down to -20°C)
  • Chemical resistance, compatible with common detergents and disinfectants
  • Hygienic and ergonomic design to facilitate use and prevent residue build-up

Colour coding, ergonomics and fibre stiffness

Choosing the right brush means considering the environment and its specific use:

  • Medium fibres: for general cleaning
  • Hard fibres: for more stubborn dirt
  • Specific formats: for hard-to-reach areas or complex geometries

The combined use of these three fibre types helps optimise cleaning, reduce working time and improve process standardisation.

In addition, some products such as the Detectable Medium Hand Brush and the Detectable Long Hand Brush  are also available in metal-detectable versions, which is particularly valuable in certain food production processes.

Which brush should you choose for each application?

Brushes are mainly used for tables, work surfaces, floors and general cleaning. Among the most relevant options are:
