'My Dermititis cleared up after using your products'

It was amazing to hear this week that one of our customers actually claimed her dermatitis cleared up after she started using our range of Eco-friendly fluids.
She is a staff member at a busy pub in Cornwall and noticed the improvement in her skin shortly after using our M&A Orange Power, Sanitiser and Washroom throughout the premises.
Most of the toxic products that are sold to commercial and even domestic markets have ingredients that would make your toes curl. Even trusted brands are guilty and one particular oven cleaner can be bought at a retail shop but is banned commercially because of the level of toxin's in it (the one that's been to the gym!).
We promote the benefits to respiratory and skin issues as part of our campaign to negate the use of toxic and phosphates and promote more emphasis on sustainable fibre technologies for cleaning and the use of essential sanitisers and fragrance to assist only.
There is still a chemical obsessed market in the UK as we are suspicious of new technologies until we actually see it for ourselves working. It is not such a bad thing that we are a conservative nation when it comes to change but on these matters we need more legislation and wide access to correct information as we will continue to clean badly and hazardously unless change comes.

Air sense...without the can and the toxics.

Traditional masking of foul smells comes in the form of a wall mounted plastic unit high in a corner. This has an automated finger like system to spray harsh aerosol air freshener into the area normally right above your head. It hangs around for a while then the bad odours take over again.

The new Ozmooze diffusion unit uses a natural product range in a recyclable plastic chamber to evenly and consistantly keep the area with a pleasant back ground smell. The unit has been developed for a high quality performance and extended life and retails at £99.00 each, refills list at £19.00 each and unlike aerosols which last around a month can go up to 9 months depending on the setting.

Biocompostable hot cup...are you sure?

Many people are being sold eco-hot cups on the pretense that they'll fully break down. They may look perfect with their brown sides and soft colours but many have linings that will not biodegrade.

There are a lot of bio cups on the market now which will, but I've heard customers complain that they tainted the drink in some cases. In addition the plastic lids are not user friendly and unless you're as maverick as a customer of ours who got their own slip over card lid sleeve made or need the practicality that a sip lid provides they're hard to source.

When buying an eco product, ask for samples and test it in use and always ask to see the certification of it's performance. Any supplier that has difficulty producing such documentation proof may not be aware themselves of the true facts.

My friend Joe from Vegware has started supplying us with his new cups so we can put them into our supply chain in smaller quantities. The cups are attractive, white with the message printed clearly about it's make up and performance. The lids are also suitable for composting and great in use. You can order now through our web site and they can also be printed with your logo.

Green Pee's

I found this fantastic product at an energy effeciency event, developed by a company in the UK. There are a massive amount of toxic chemicals put down men's urinals, including blocks and bleach that do nothing but mask the pungent smell.

The real reason for the bad odours is crystals that build up in the pipework under urinals and possibly poor cleaning around the bowl which leads to soiling on surfaces and tile grout.

This product is different to other sleeves as it's fully degradable after it's 3 month life use. The safe enzyme block inside will clear the waste pipe crystals and emit a fresh mint odour to the washroom. The product also has an odour lock and fitting is very simple. You can also reduce flushing to twice a day, morning and night just to liven up the enzymes, saving on water costs.

We've started selling this item and initial feedback is good, you can go through our sites to get it.

Stop cleaning with old rags and toxic cleaning chemicals….please, it doesn’t work!

If we don't use colour coded cleaning cloths and mops that can access the micro pores in every hard surface and actually remove dirt, how can we call them hygienic? Even using toxic cleaning chemicals and hot water on surfaces can't guarantee a fully clean surface, it’s all in the application of the fluid.

The use of woven dish cloths, old tea towels, yellow dusters or old room towels to clean is a very poor habit that many accommodation providers have adopted. These products have fibres that do not remove the micro dirt but simply spread it around evenly and absorb a minority of the soiling. The old fashioned dolly vertical cotton mop heads push dirty bacteria ridden water around and remove little of the deep down dirt. Some of the kitchen floors I've seen are slippery because all the anti slip has been filled with grease that can not be removed due to poor cleaning systems.

I wouldn't say it's the cleaners or even the buyers fault, these are products generations have used and adopted. But we need to make public service sites aware of the dangers of bad cleaning practice and the fact that there is a better, cleaner, safer and more cost effective system in microfibre products available if you have the will to change the way you approach cleaning.

I've introduced our natural cleaning detergents and microfibre cloths and mops to numerous sites over the past 10 years. What they've found is that they save a significant amount of money and the staff love the products, many buying them for home use.
