Astral proud to have been awarded Royal Warrant by HM The Queen

 20th April 2022 | By Anna Armstrong | Cleaning Tips, Environmental Health, Hygiene, Sustainability, Coronovirus




This great privilege allows Astral Hygiene to display the Royal Arms on our fleet of vehicles, our premises, stationary, and marketing which demonstrates the Royal Household prefers our services and products over others.

View the Royal Warrant Holders Association website here. 

Astral Hygiene Ltd have a long-standing arrangement with the Royal Households, and have been supplying cleaning and hygiene supplies and advice and consultancy for many years. A Royal Warrant of Appointment is granted as a mark of recognition to people or companies who have regularly supplied goods or services to HM The Queen, HRH The Late Duke of Edinburgh or HRH The Prince of Wales or their households. 

Astral Hygiene Ltd is family business, run by husband and wife team Yewan and Anna Armstrong and has been operating out of the Scottish Borders for almost 30 years. We supply cleaning and paper products locally and nationally.

The warrant is the first Astral Hygiene Ltd have been awarded, and is recognition that Astral Hygiene is exceptional in their field of expertise, have an outstanding approach to sustainability in the chemical and paper field and put the environmental impact at the very heart of everything they do. This was very important in gaining the Royal Warrant





Managing Director, Yewan Armstrong “This is a huge accolade for Astral Hygiene, and we are delighted to be awarded this prestigious honour.   My wife and I would like to thank all of our team for their hard work and dedication helping to achieve this recognition from her Majesty the Queen. This award is a culmination of those endeavours, and great recognition for all involved.

The Royal Warrant is an indication that a small family business can provide bespoke solutions to customers of all sizes and requirements and that we have expertise that will continue to offer a unique approach to benefit all of our customers”.

 

 

The history of the Royal Warrant can be traced back to medieval times, when competition for Royal favour was intense and the Monarch had the pick of the country's best tradespeople. In the 18th century, Royal tradesmen began displaying the Royal Arms on their premises and stationery. Now the Royal Warrant holders include companies as diverse as Burberry Clothing, Cadbury Chocolates and Jaguar Landrover.... and now Astral Hygiene. 

 

Astral Hygiene Ltd are delighted to continue to work with the Royal Households and the wider community to bring excellence in the field of cleaning and hygiene.

Preparing to return to work .... shared kitchens

  Preparing to return to work .... shared kitchens  1st Aptil 2021  | By Anna Armstrong In my latest blog series “Preparing to get back to work safely” last week I discussed the implications around making sure your office chair is both clean and sanitised. If you missed it you can have a read  here . It is important to make sure that as an employer or building manager the area you expect employees to come back to is both safe, and hygienic.  There are so many disinfectants on the market claiming to kill Coronovirus, bacteria etc, but to really know what it kills you have to practically be a hygiene professional! Let’s drill down a bit here on this point........ Coronovirus is an umberella term which basically covers everything from COVID 19, SARS-COV-2 to the common cold and flu.  So even if a product only kills the common cold; which is quite easy to kill - it can legally have on its label KILLS CORONAVIRUS.... which is technically true.... but doesn’t mean that it kills COVID or even

  Are all hypochlorous products made equal??  7th April 2021  | By Anna Armstrong   |  Hygiene Not all Hypochlorus Acid is created equal... can you be sure your HOCI is in the right state to kill bacteria and virus - or if it is just salt water? Since 2020 the popularity of  Hypochlorous Acid  has increased exponentially, and its explosion can only be testament to the benefits of this biocide that effectively bottles the same capability the human immune system uses to fight infection. This chemical is amazing, and in the right formulation, and in the right chemical state it can kill up to 99.9999% of pathogens quickly and safely.  IF it is the right formulation,  HOCI  can be used effectively on hard surfaces, on skin and hands, in fogging machines and in some cases, babies bottles and dummies. This incredible chemical, in it’s pure form has been proven to kill E. coli, Salmonella, C. difficile, Coronaviruses and Norovirus faster than other disinfectants and requires no special handlin

Public Bathrooms….protect yourself…..

  Public Bathrooms….protect yourself…..  9th May 2022  | By Anna Armstrong I’ve written about how sharing spaces with others means increased risk of cross contamination.   So it’s no great surprise that sharing amenities such as toilet seats, toilet rolls, sinks, and taps with strangers have been linked to health risks.  Here I break down the credible claims, and dispel the myths.  Within this article, I talk around what kind of infections and viruses can be caught from pubic washrooms and importantly provide ways in which you can protect yourself. Due to the volume of people passing through public washrooms, it is a sensible conclusion to come to that these areas are as veritable hot bed for bacteria and other nasties to lurk. Clinical trials,including ones Astral Hygiene has been part of have demonstrated that there are any number of bacteria and viruses that could be lying in wait in public toilets – including streptococcus, E.coli, salmonella, typhoid fever and Hepatitis A.  We hav
