ideal partner for CleanPatch due to their extensive knowledge of the medical mattress market and their
long-standing business relationships in this important healthcare segment”.

through many trials in our laundry department to make sure that it would stand up to the rigors of the
healthcare market” comments Robert Bloomer, Sales Manager at Harvest Healthcare. “We are pleased
to say that CleanPatch exceeded our expectations and is a product line that has the potential to help
