Alright, you are not a 6th grader on a tour of a hospital, but you are reading this so im going to assume we are getting somehwere. When you drill down and think about being at a hospital, I want you to think about the cleaniness of that hospital and how much worse it would be without Personal Protection Equiptment(PPE). Using proper PPE is crucial to stopping an infestation of bacteria and possible diseases at our hospitals. It is vital that Hospitals adopt cutting edge PPE solutionsto stay ahead of the Nosocomial Infections frequently acquired at hospitals. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosocomial_infection.

PPE that is used/worn in hospitals is right up our alley here at BootieButler. Not only is the PPE important but it is a great oppurtunity for us to prove our worth to everyone who works in hospitals. We are at the cutting edge of PPE technology, and our KinecticButler is GREEN(uses no electricity) and easy to use! The BootieButler can be the difference between life and death in a hospital(dramatic music in your head). You are asking yourself how the KeniticButler can come to the rescue in a hospital.

BOOOOOOM! A piano falls on your head after your just got your favorite ice cream cone…chocolate vanilla swirl today( waffle cone of course). So,back to my point. Piano lands on your head. You are rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery to put humpty dumpty back together again. You are in the emergency room waiting for a doctor to come in and save your life…but he needs to take an extra minute to sit down and put on his shoe covers. FACT. In an emergency surgery, SECONDS matter!

This may not happen to you today, but when time is of the essence and lives are on the line. Call Bootie Butler. We do it right.

Bootie Butler offers a wide variety of shoe covers and as shoe cover dispensers for businesses, homes, and other applications including Clean Rooms, Pharmaceutical, Industrial, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Food Processing, Real Estate, Construction, Research and Development, and Energy.

Long story short, we have several different types of booties, all consisting of a similar products that we are proud to put into our Spec Sheets (Link website). However, I feel as though when someone reads the majority of spec sheets, they get zero satisfaction and are just happy that they got in some light reading for the day. NO says I, it is time to understand what you are reading , and be 100% aware of what you are getting…a superior product from your friends at BootieButler (inserts smiley face…I won’t do it).

Our products consist primarily of two raw materials: Polypropylene and Polyethylene, and yes they are two separate words silly. I would like to give you a quick, concise description and definition of both products. The most user-friendly definition I could find was at Wikipedia, yah yah…I get it you don’t like Wikipedia, but I checked their sources and their summary was better than it was written from their sources. So go cry to your freshman English teacher and not me about tertiary sources).

“ Polypropylene (PP), also known as polypropene, is a thermoplastic polymer used in a wide variety of applications including packaging, textiles (e.g., ropes, thermal underwear and carpets), stationery, plastic parts and reusable containers of various types, laboratory equipment, loudspeakers, automotive components, and polymer banknotes. An addition polymer made from the monomer propylene, it is rugged and unusually resistant to many chemical solvents, bases and acids.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene)

“Polyethylene (PE), is a thermoplastic polymer consisting of long chains produced by combining the ingredient monomer ethylene (IUPAC name ethene), the name comes from the ingredient and not the actual chemical resulting. The ethylene actually converts to ethane as it takes its place in a polymer and straight sections of the polymer are the same structure as the simple chain hydrocarbons, e.g., propane, decane and other straight single-bonded carbon chains. As with any polymer, the structure of the resulting substance defies molecular description due to cross branching of the chains. The scientific name polyethene is systematically derived from the scientific name of the monomer.[2][3] In certain circumstances it is useful to use a structure-based nomenclature; in such cases IUPAC recommends poly(methylene)[3] (poly(methanediyl) is a non-preferred alternative[4][5]). The difference in names between the two systems is due to the opening up of the monomer’s double bond upon polymerization.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene)

…now would you be impressed if I told you all of this resulted in the making of the HULA HOOP! Fantastic…you’re interested again.

A third product used in some of our booties is CPE. CPE is cast polyethylene, which is just a much thicker version of polyethylene.
PP,PE, and CPE are all products of highly advanced materials that we accidently discovered in the heyday of science.  That we, and many other industries have taken to make safe, reliable, and more cost effective products for consumers today.

Of course, the booties also contain additives that give them different durability and wear characteristics to meet our customers’ specific needs. But that’s another topic for another post.

Today’s post is all about the Research industry and how the KineticButler can help improve the industry. As always, I want you to give you the real information and not some lofty gibberish. BootieButler PREVENTS cross contamination, BootieButler does this by eliminating the most common cause of cross contamination when applying shoe covers…YOUR HANDS! Yes, those filthy little sporks attached to your arms. Hands are chuck full of contaminants, even after washing them.

Why does this matter to research facilities? Because the rooms are tested for cross contamination and depending on the amount of particles in the room the facility is given a rating. The rating directly results in what kinds of tests are allowed to be performed in the clean room. Alright, you get it, it’s a big deal!

Shoe cover/shoe booties are used to stop your feet from bringing particles into the cleanrooms. BootieButler takes your hands out of the equation with a simple yet amazing machine. It is Kinetic(no electrical outlet needed!) and allows you to put shoe covers on without bending over, sitting on a bench, leaning against a wall, and straining yourself in the process. Also, you prevent employees from prematurely entering the clean area until they are fully suited up and booties are applied. After all, the bootie application is the final and most important stage before entering the clean room.

We at Bootie Butler just want you to see what industries we serve and why BootieButler’s presence is relevant and important to industries like Research.
So next time you see a clean room, think to yourself;
“Did they get their Bootie on?”

“I was at last week’s expo but your booth was so busy; I couldn’t get through to see It.” said a recent customer. No joke, this was an actual comment we received after one of our shows. We love being busy and showing people what we have to offer and the feedback is always welcome. It is also nice to have our sales team come back acting like a rock band who just played at Bootie-Stock, fortunately for our office staff, the sales people aren’t wearing makeup, leather pants, and getting perms….yet.

The BootieButler is easy to spot, but sometimes difficult to view through the masses. “The Bootie Experience” as we like to call it is quick, easy, and fun; which explains the difficulty in getting people to leave. We have decided to give you VIP access today and give your very specific directions on how to get to the stage (booth) at a live event:

Operation: Bootie Booth
1. Find the Directory and locate the Bootie Booth number
2. Listen for the hum of the remover, followed by laughter and excitement. Don’t be alarmed
3. If your hear people saying “Coolest booth ever” ”Best booth at the show” ”Hands down, without a doubt BootieButler was the coolest product at the show,” you are getting very close
4. If you approach a booth with so many people you can’t see the product, you have arrived. Wave a 20 dollar bill in the air and Fran will be glad to assist you.[NOTE: BootieButler management edited this our, but Fran “convinced” me to keep it in the post]

Yet again, here we are to solve the difficult problems. Please check out the website from time to time for web releases of our participation in Expos in your area. Come by and see us, and don’t forget to bring your VIP Access ticket (see below). There are gifts for VIPs you know!

How important are shoe covers for a show like Extreme Makeover: Home Edition? INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT! When a house is built in a week, you can imagine the mess being made inside the house with the amount of people working…fwew, the house would never get done. It was a perfect opportunity to give back to the community and for the EM: HE community to use an awesome product.

As soon as Rob heard that help was needed, he was off like a rocket with the Bootie-Mobile filled to the brim with KineticButlers and shoe covers. We knew the Kinetic Butler would be a big hit for the people working on the house due to the ease of use and the increase in productivity. SPEED is of the essence with the cast, crew, and volunteers of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and that is one of the KineticButler’s biggest benefits.

“Bootie Butler, the Best thing EVER,” Lead Designer Paulie DiMeo said as he signed Rob’s hardhat.

The house is now finished and the Watson family is moved in to continue work on their foundation. Extreme Makeover: Home edition was a great chance for the community to rally together and commit a selfless act, and BootieButler was honored to be part of that.

2012 promises to be a very productive year for us at Bootie Butler and we really want you to come along for the ride. Keep coming back for several new posts with even more in-depth looks into topics that will likely concern YOU. Yes, my friends it is a new year and I’m amped up and ready to…commence the greatest BootieBlog of 2012.

Love,
Sir Bootie

I hope everyone has a very happy holiday season and we will see you in 2012 with more mind-blowing blogs to fill your mind with joy. Here’s my mock-up Christmas card from the bootie blogger!

p.s. He would have been a lot happier if he would have worn booties to begin with!

What the? Who the? What?…My thoughts exactly when I first saw a similar table(so I made a much prettier version for you to look at while you head is cocked to the side like a confused puppy). This blog is not here to complicate things; simply this is just a way to measure the particles per cubic foot in a room. The amount of particles per cubic foot directly correlates to the clean room’s class or ISO level (nothing to source, I wrote this explaining the process). All of this is important for what you are certified to do in your clean room.

A whole lot of complication made simple for YOU by ME! You’re welcome.

Now that you understand the importance of a clean room being clean, let’s talk about how to keep it that way, like I promised. PPE or personal protection equipment (see my previous post to learn about PPE…INSERT BACKLINK) is the main contributor to keeping your particle levels constant. Let’s not dive into the clean room itself but the precautions taken outside the clean room, and how to simplify them to make it easier and faster. After all you don’t want to spend an hour putting on equipment to get a hours’ worth of work, you want it to be fast and painless.

Here is a cluttered clean room with a bench for applying your PPE:

No one wants to bump and grind on a bench when you are trying to get to work, so how do you make this easier?
That’s right! An Automatic Shoe Dispenser by Bootie Butler! It eliminates the bench and speeds application by 4X. The application room now flows towards one direction and people can move more swiftly and with direction towards the Clean room without contaminating their equipment with their hands while putting the bootie on.
THE SOLUTION:

The left diagram is what I like to call the “sit and spin method” that takes a long time to sit down apply the booties and kick your friend in the head. A bench is not the answer for getting into the clean room faster.
The right diagram is the Automatic Shoe Cover Dispenser method. You walk up slide your feet through and you are on your way. It is 4 times faster and a lot more room to move freely. There is little to no waiting period and you are on your way to work in no time. Check out this video to see how this works in the real world: http://www.bootiebutler.com/demonstration-of-kineticbutler-dispenser-high-volume-application

Question: How do we clean up the clean room?
Answer: Buy a BootieButler!

Your welcome!
