Kvalitetsvurdering
Opgaven har været god, trods den begrænsede
tekstmængde, da den rummer mange forskellige,
tekniske udfordringer. Jeg synes desuden det er
blevet et godt slutresultat.

Forud for min dokumentoprettelse, indstiller jeg ordbog, samt
det aktuelle sprogs brug af enkelte- og dobbelte anførselstegn.
2
Derefter definerer jeg dokumentets margin og kolonne forhold
på mine master-pages, så de efterfølgende vises på alle sider.
GRUNDLINJENET
Grundlinjenettets skydning sættes til 14 pkt. ligesom min brødtekst.
For at min brødtekst flugter med topmargin, skal grundlinjenettets
startplacering reguleres.
4
STARTPUNKT
Startpunktet er defineret ved at måle grundlinjens placering på en
ulåst brødtekst, der er placeret ved topmargin.
Da jeg gerne vil beholde muligheden for at indsætte en ekstra linjes
brødtekst over topmargin samt placere min kolumne titel på grundlinjenetter, trækker jeg fem linjers skydning fra dette koordinat og
indtaster resultatet som mit nye startpunkt.
3
BUNDMARGIN
Jeg tilpasser derefter bundmargin efter nærmeste grundlinjes placering.

OM FONTEN
Helvetica Neue er en grotesk og geometrisk font, der fremstår rimeligt neutral. Ikke desto mindre har dens forfader været den mest
brugte font inden for grafisk design nogensinde.
Det er en harmonisk font, der med det rene udtryk harmonerer godt
med Vikans profil.
Selvom Neue ikke i sig selv indeholder mange krummelurer, er der
god mulighed for at skabe kontrast med de medfølgende 51 skriftsnit.
Jeg bruger overvejende de lette snit for at skabe kontrast og raffinering til de ellers lidt tunge og også kedelige produkter.
KARAKTERISTIKA
Da det som tidligere nævnt er en grotest font, indeholder Neue ikke
seriffer, hvilket kan være et læsevenligt svaghedstegn hvad angår
brug af brødtekst.
Der er nærmest ingen kontrast mellem grundstreg og hårstreg
modsat Adobe Caslon eksemplet
Neue har en stor x-højde (i forhold til Gill Sans eksemplet) og deciderede spejlinger af tegn som p/q og b/ som i øvrigt deler samme
øje udformning – også med o og g.
Neue er en virkelig god font til logofremstilling eller anden tekstbrug med få enheder, især i bold skriftsnit

Why Vikan ?
More than
One Hundred
Years of
Cleaning
Experience
Online Training for
Maximum Benefits
Staff with a responsibility for cleaning must be adequately trained and understand that achieving a high
standard of cleanliness is essential for both service
excellence and staff safety.
The Vikan training video is available online and provides comprehensive but easy-to-follow instructions
on maximizing the benefits of a microfibre-based cleaning programme. The video provides full instructions
on manual and machine mop preparation, and guidance on optimizing the lifetime of the textile products
and saving water. Advice on folding and storage is
included so that the mops and cloths are ready-touse straight from the trolley.
We provide a comprehensive demonstration on selecting and using the right tool and method for the task
to improve effectiveness, and on conducting a quality
control check. Finally, coverage of the integrated
ergonomic features such as telescopic handles, click
locks and the mop release system provides information
on preventing repetitive strain injuries and eliminating
cross contamination.
vikan.com
Vikan’s hands-on approach has earned us an unparalleled reputation for providing cleaning solutions to real-life challenges in the
education and local authority sectors. We continuously strive to
improve and implement best practice, to impart knowledge, and
provide all the tools that are required to control your hygiene
systems and to document the process.
Delivering cleaner, facilities at a lower cost and ensuring a safe
working environment is a basic requirement of all local authority
cleaning programmes. Spotlessly clean windows, floors and surfaces will enhance the user and visitor experience of a public facility,
while food preparation areas require a hygienically clean environment to prevent cross contamination from microbes or ingredients.
Continuous improvement
Documentation
Vikan seeks to set the industry benchmark for effective
hygienic cleaning. Our specialists are committed to advancing hygienic cleaning performance through continuous
innovation and knowledge sharing.
Our systems are designed to improve your internal hygiene
control, and make it easier to maintain and document
compliance for internal and external audits. Our tools meet
the stringent criteria of all the regulatory authorities, and
are also licensed for use under food safety and eco-label
systems.
The Vikan microfibre-based solution uses a simple, single work process to deliver high levels of productivity and
consistent quality of cleaning. As well as being a HACCP requirement, implementing our systematic cleaning and sanitizing procedures will also increase the janitorial team’s
professional status and improve employee health.
repetitive strain injuries to muscles and joints, which in
turn reduces rates of absenteeism and compensation
claims by the janitorial team. Our tools are designed to
be long lasting and, as they require much lower volumes
of water and no detergents, our system is cheaper to
operate too.
Effective cleaning
Consistency in cleaning Quality
Daily cleaning of large surface areas exerts a huge demand
on staff and their equipment, but Vikan’s system ensures
operators can spend their time effectively. Each self-contained trolley is equipped with specially selected, preprepared washable mops and cloths that can be deployed
for use on a specific task or in a designated area.
Vikan’s microfibre mops and cloths have been proven to
remove 99.9 % of all microbes, and significantly higher
levels of dust and dirt from surfaces than traditional cleaning. Surfaces also retain their sheen for longer, and there
is no build up of biofilm or the sticky chemical residue on
which microbes thrive in hard-to-reach areas, such as
behind sanitary ware.
Vikan’s effective, efficient and durable products are driven
by the needs of the end user, and have been developed
in close collaboration with customers as they strive to better
their cleaning performance, while achieving high levels of
consistency and greater productivity.
Our microfibre materials have been specially developed
to deliver enhanced levels of cleanliness with minimum
effort as part of a single work process. All our products
are easy to clean and ergonomically designed to ensure
efficiency. The tools are fully moulded and quick drying to
reduce the potential for microbial growth, and are heat
and chemical resistant to facilitate microbe removal.

establishment was founded in 1512 and now comprises
a junior and senior school with seven boarding houses
and around 50 full-time staff members.
Challenge
Maintaining high levels of cleanliness throughout the extensive public school premises and seven boarding houses
is no mean feat. Much time and effort is spent carrying
mop buckets full of water and chemicals up and down the
many corridors and staircases. Giggleswick was in need
of a more effective cleaning solution, which would deliver
labour- and cost savings.

The Vikan compact cleaning trolley
is a portable and flexible workstation equipped to clean surfaces in
excess of 500m2 and hold
daily consumables, such
as soap and toilet paper.
The pre-prepared damp mops are more efficient at cleaning soiled areas than wet mops and remove the need to
lift heavy buckets of water, while the dry cloths can be used
with a spray of water. As well as reducing the volumes
of water required and removing the need for chemicals,
which makes them better for the environment, microfibres
are also safer as they leave surfaces dry and eliminate
the damp areas where microbes breed.

During the trial, the school quickly established that the
Vikan system was not only effective but eliminated the use
of heavy buckets, reduced cross contamination through
a zoned use of mops and cloths, while the ready-to-use
tools and single work process saved time.The trial results
impressed the school to the extent that they decided to
end the use of chemicals (apart from toilet cleaners) and
turned the entire cleaning operation over to ultramicrofibres.
As well as capturing 99.9 % dirt, dust and bacteria, the
school soon discovered that, without chemicals, surfaces
not only stay cleaner longer they also retained their sheen.
The school reports great satisfaction in achieving good
cleaning results using less water, no chemicals and in a
reduced time, and estimates that their annual savings on
chemicals alone amounts to hundreds of pounds. As an
added benefit, the school’s medical team is also seeing a
considerable drop in the number of breathing complaints
among students and staff since the ultramicrofibre system
was introduced.
“Cleaning with Vikan ultramicrofibre
cloths and mops has led to vastly
improved cleaning results, financial
savings and a happier workforce as
well as a healthier environment.”

Challenges
Delivering cleaner, facilities at a lower cost and ensuring a safe
working environment is a basic requirement of all local authority
cleaning programmes. Spotlessly clean windows, floors and surfaces will enhance the user and visitor experience of a public facility,
while food preparation areas require a hygienically clean environment to prevent cross contamination from microbes or ingredients.
The Vikan microfibre-based solution uses a simple, single work process to deliver high levels of productivity and
consistent quality of cleaning. As well as being a HACCP requirement, implementing our systematic cleaning and sanitizing procedures will also increase the janitorial team’s
professional status and improve employee health.
repetitive strain injuries to muscles and joints, which in
turn reduces rates of absenteeism and compensation
claims by the janitorial team. Our tools are designed to
be long lasting and, as they require much lower volumes
of water and no detergents, our system is cheaper to
operate too.
Effective cleaning
Consistency in cleaning Quality
Daily cleaning of large surface areas exerts a huge demand
on staff and their equipment, but Vikan’s system ensures
operators can spend their time effectively. Each self-contained trolley is equipped with specially selected, preprepared washable mops and cloths that can be deployed
for use on a specific task or in a designated area.
Vikan’s microfibre mops and cloths have been proven to
remove 99.9 % of all microbes, and significantly higher
levels of dust and dirt from surfaces than traditional cleaning. Surfaces also retain their sheen for longer, and there
is no build up of biofilm or the sticky chemical residue on
which microbes thrive in hard-to-reach areas, such as
behind sanitary ware.
The pre-prepared damp mops are more efficient at cleaning soiled areas than wet mops and remove the need to
lift heavy buckets of water, while the dry cloths can be used
with a spray of water. As well as reducing the volumes
of water required and removing the need for chemicals,
which makes them better for the environment, microfibres
are also safer as they leave surfaces dry and eliminate
the damp areas where microbes breed.
Reduce costs
The ready-to-use tools are ergonomically designed to
improve productivity in the workplace, and also to reduce

Not only is previously mopped up dirt and
bacteria trapped in the fibres, but our simple
click system allows the operator to detach a
used mop head without ever touching it, reducing the risk of contaminating other surfaces.
Our colour coding systems lower the risk of
cross contamination yet further as mops and
cloths used in food preparation areas are kept
visibly separate from those used in corridors,
offices and classrooms or in the washing/
toilet areas.

Cases & Testimonials
Microfiber save time and
Improve Health at
Giggleswick School
Case study
Giggleswick is one of the leading independent boarding
and day schools in the north of England. The 600-student
establishment was founded in 1512 and now comprises
a junior and senior school with seven boarding houses
and around 50 full-time staff members.
Challenge
Maintaining high levels of cleanliness throughout the extensive public school premises and seven boarding houses
is no mean feat. Much time and effort is spent carrying
mop buckets full of water and chemicals up and down the
many corridors and staircases. Giggleswick was in need
of a more effective cleaning solution, which would deliver
labour- and cost savings.
Solution
Vikan demonstrated how their hygienic cleaning ultramicrofibre system could overcome the cleaning challenges
that the premises presented, and the domestic manager
was encouraged enough to set up a trial.
During the trial, the school quickly established that the
Vikan system was not only effective but eliminated the use
of heavy buckets, reduced cross contamination through
a zoned use of mops and cloths, while the ready-to-use
tools and single work process saved time.The trial results
impressed the school to the extent that they decided to
end the use of chemicals (apart from toilet cleaners) and
turned the entire cleaning operation over to ultramicrofibres.
As well as capturing 99.9 % dirt, dust and bacteria, the
school soon discovered that, without chemicals, surfaces
not only stay cleaner longer they also retained their sheen.
The school reports great satisfaction in achieving good
cleaning results using less water, no chemicals and in a
reduced time, and estimates that their annual savings on
chemicals alone amounts to hundreds of pounds. As an
added benefit, the school’s medical team is also seeing a
considerable drop in the number of breathing complaints
among students and staff since the ultramicrofibre system
was introduced.
“Cleaning with Vikan ultramicrofibre
cloths and mops has led to vastly
improved cleaning results, financial
savings and a happier workforce as
well as a healthier environment.”
