Procter & Gamble Professional has been chosen as the primary cleaning products provider for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, according to a report from the Eurpoean Cleaning Journal.

The U.K.-based trade publication spoke with Vladimir Brasneuv, P&G Professional business leader for Eastern Europe to get the details, who said P&G products will clean over 875,527 square meters across the Olympic Winter Games.

"A large number of guests will gather in a limited space and it will be crucial to provide cleanliness and disinfection in all public areas. Unlike the Olympic Summer Games, snow and chemicals used to melt it end up inside the venues and cause additional problems," said Brasneuv.

"Cleaning time is obviously limited due to tight scheduling of the competitions," Brasnuev continues. "So it is important to manage the workflow — from selecting optimal cleaning products to training and transporting people to and from work as well as facilitating leisure time."

Brasneuv told the magazine that staff training was especially important prior to the Games. The company chose versatile products to eliminate employee confusion, and to save time on labor.

"It is easier to train staff in using between three and five products that satisfy 99 percent of needs rather than explain the specifics of working with 10 to 20 special purpose cleaning solutions. This approach helps save time, improve the performance of cleaning personnel and reduce costs for storage and transportation of the cleaning products," Brasneuv said.
