Executive Housekeeping Today - February 2008 - (Page 26) product Geerpres®, Inc., has introduced BioShield® 75, a patented biostatic antimicrobial surface protectant which reduces the growth of harmful bacteria, fungi, mold, and mildew. BioShield 75, EPA registered and USDA accepted, is a water-based, non-toxic liquid protectant which helps prevent the growth of bacteria. It can be wiped, sprayed, dipped, or misted on a wide range of porous and non-porous products and surfaces. Odorless and colorless, BioShield 75 uses a biostatic, mechanical process and is safe for use within a wide range of environments and industries including healthcare, food service, and hospitality/travel. BioShield 75 is non-leaching, durable, and provides surface protection effective for up to 90 days or more. BioShield 75 provides an extra layer of protection, a shield, which makes surfaces significantly safer to touch and helps prevent bacterial infection, transference, and cross-contamination. National Chemical Laboratories has announced the introduction of a revolutionary new environmentally-responsible floor stripper: ZOOOOM ALL GREEN SPEED STRIPPER. It incorporates NCL’s exclusive G-10 Technology to “zoom” through and emulsify even heavily-burnished floor finishes. ZOOOOM combines eco-friendly, readily biodegradable ingredients and emulsifiers. ZOOOOM’s lowodor formula with a mild pH contains no harsh caustics, yet achieves outstanding wetting, maximum finish penetration, and easy floor finish removal. ZOOOOM is recommended for use on vinyl, vinyl composition, terrazzo, hard surfaces, and any surface that can be stripped using traditional stripper products. highlights Spectronics Corporation has introduced the EA-160 UV inspection lamp, a lightweight, portable unit ideal for detecting stains, spills, germs, and other contaminants on surfaces as diverse as carpets, upholstery, and bedding to countertops, exam tables, and food preparation areas. The EA-160 features a 6-watt, integrally filtered long-wave UV tube. Its high UV intensity ensures that most contamination will be easily revealed by a bright fluorescent glow. Weighing only 2 lbs., the EA-160 is housed in silver-anodized aluminum that makes the lamp both attractive and rugged. A corrosion-resistant, specular-aluminum reflector optimizes UV irradiance. For maximum comfort, the unit comes with a convenient carrying handle. The rated life of the tube is 6,000 hours. Rubbermaid Commercial Products (RCP), has introduced their new Untouchable® Containers and Lids. The new Rubbermaid Untouchable Containers and Lids provide hands-free, hygienic disposal of waste for more efficient recycling. The Untouchable® Containers offer an integrated liner cinch for easy one-step can liner retention that eliminates knot tying: improving productivity and reducing worker strain and labor costs. And with Rubbermaid’s recycling label kits, compliance is made easy with universal colorcoded symbol and word labels to help minimize waste stream contamination. 26 Executive Housekeeping Today/February 2008
