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  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 you ready for Hygiene 2.0?  21st April 2021  | By Anna Armstrong   |  Coronovirus ,  Hygiene The virus that effectively shut down the world in 100 days, has taught us a great deal about Hygiene, and particularly how to manage it The virus that effectively shut down the world in 100 days, has taught us a great deal about Hygiene, and particularly how to manage it. It has also taught us that we need a new strategy, to manage the effects of any future pandemics or breakouts, to slow the spread down without having to shut everything down. Businesses, individuals; everyone has been through such a difficult and harrowing time over the last 12 months…. so now is the time to devise a plan to counter the effects of new virus outbreaks to allow us to manage it whilst still allowing businesses to function. In 2007, statistician Nassim Nicholas Taleb defined “Black Swan” as an event that “is an outlier,” as it lies outside the realm of regular expectations. Black Swans by that definition are

Locker Room Risks Locker rooms can be a breeding ground for various types of fungi, bacteria and viruses.   Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (staph) is a type of bacteria that can spread easily in locker rooms, especially when equipment is being shared.

Locker room users can catch fungal infections like athlete’s foot by walking barefoot in these environments if they aren’t cleaned routinely Ringworm is another fungal infection that can spread from person to person in communal areas like locker rooms Unclean surfaces can spread respiratory infections like the cold and flu to those using the locker room, especially between October and March when flu activity is elevated Plantar warts may arise if you walk barefoot, including in wet shower areas of the locker room Streptococcal bacteria that
