product highlights Clorox has leveraged its world-class expertise in the household and professional cleaning category and developed a new platform of natural cleaning products called Green Works™. These products are made with natural, plant-based ingredients and are just as effective as traditional cleaners. Clorox Commercial Solutions® Green Works products are a practical way for professionals to create a Greener work environment without compromising performance. Green Works products are made from plant-based ingredients derived from coconuts and lemon oil. The ingredients used in Green Works products were developed to be sustainable, non-allergenic, and biodegradable. Green Works products are not tested on animals and are packaged in bottles that can be recycled. The Green Works Natural All-Purpose Spray Cleaner, Natural Glass & Surface Cleaner, Natural Toilet Bowl Cleaner, and Natural All-Purpose Dilutable Cleaner products are recognized for using the safest possible ingredients by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Design for the Environment (DfE) Program. www.cloroxprofessional.com Citrus and hydrogen peroxide make a powerful cleaning combination. Citrus breaks down tough soils while the peroxide oxides soils and stains, helping to eliminate odors. This is why ES71 from Enviro-Solutions is an excellent choice for washroom floor and grout cleaning. And with 8 percent hydrogen peroxide, ES71 has more of this cleaning powerhouse than any of its competitors. In fact, just one ounce of ES71 per gallon is enough to clean windows, mirrors, and floors; 12 ounces will clean some of the toughest stains imaginable and the concentrated form is Green Seal® certified. www.enviro-solution.com Sunburst Chemicals has introduced their Solid Green All-Purpose cleaner. Manufactured in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency’s Design for the Environment program, Solid Green All Purpose is a heavy duty cleaner that safely and effectively emulsifies grease and oil on food preparation and meat cutting surfaces, walls, floors and other hard surfaces. It is a powerful cleaning solution for hand scrubbing, or used with auto-scrubbers, sprayers, and pressure washers.Solid Green All Purpose cleaner is non-caustic and non-corrosive, and contains no phosphorous, solvents, or VOC’s (Volatile Organic Chemicals), making it very safe to use and rapidly biodegradable. www.sunburstchemicals.com 26 Executive Housekeeping Today/April 2008 Tennant Company recently announced the reformulation of its popular WearGuard chemical-resistant urethane (CRU) topcoats to meet the strict Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) requirements of the Lake Michigan Air Directors Consortium (LADCO), the Ozone Transport Commission (OTC), and the Chemicals Control Branch of Environment Canada. Since September of 1999, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has limited the emissions of VOCs from industrial maintenance coatings to 450 g/L. Several states and counties have even more stringent VOC limits, restricting emissions to as low as 100 g/L. While the original WearGuard—CRU coatings have always met EPA VOC regulations, the reformulated coatings, under the name WearGuard—CRU 250, remain below 250 g/L, complying with many of the more stringent state and county standards as well. WearGuard—CRU 250 coatings offer not only reduced solvents, but also superior chemical wear resistance and UV light stability. WearGuard—CRU 250 coatings are extremely durable, withstanding industrial chemicals; create a safer workplace by offering superior light reflectivity; and come in a 100 percent aliphatic, non-yellowing formula to maintain their appearance over time. www.tennantco.com http://www.cloroxprofessional.com http://www.enviro-solution.com http://www.tennantco.com/na-en/products/coatings/wearguard-cru-urethane-floor-coating.aspx?cmpgn=2249 http://www.sunburstchemicals.com
