product Metatarsal protection has finally come of age with the I-MET®, a breakthrough in metatarsal protection for which Weinbrenner Shoe Co. has recently received Federal patent registration (7305776). I-MET features the only internal metatarsal guard that’s ASTM 75 approved and completely integrated with the safety toe cap. The I-MET Metguard is permanently locked in place to prevent movement or floating inside the shoe. No more awkward attachments, tape, or rivets—I-MET provides metatarsal protection that’s invisible to the eye. The internal location also eliminates the potential trip hazards that are common with many metguard designs. I-Met is integrated into the shoe so it’s more stable, very lightweight, and extremely flexible. Unquestionably, this is the most comfortable and durable hard metguard you can buy. The Metguard flexes with the foot to maintain all-day comfort while it protects. Cushioning is increased by memory foam padding between the flexible ribcage-designed Metguard and the foot, while also helping to absorb impacts to the foot and instep. The I-MET simply looks and feels better while it’s in place…and it’s always safety ready. www.weinbrennerusa.com Pacific Floor Care is pleased to announce the introduction of its new automatic scrubber line, the Z Series. Building off of the success of the Proteus series, Pacific redesigned the current line-up with simplicity and performance in mind. The newly-designed Z Series Scrubbers feature improvements such as: larger solution and recovery tanks; ergonomic, operator-friendly controls; industrial-strength squeegees for exceptional water retrieval; solution fill and recovery drain access at the front of the machine to ensure that the unit can be filled and emptied in even the smallest of janitorial closets; “ultra quiet” performance; quick-release squeegee assemblies that make transporting through doorways, loading, and unloading a breeze; squeegee blade changes that require no tools; variable speed settings on traction models that, with a turn of the dial, allow the machine to be operated at a comfortable pace by all users; and lift away recovery tanks to allow for fast, easy, and open access to the motors and batteries. www.pacificfloorcare.com The Clorox Company has launched the Clorox® Pro Quaternary All-Purpose Disinfectant Cleaner, a disinfectant that is EPA-registered to kill germs, including Healthcare-associated and Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (HA-MRSA and CA-MRSA).

Created to immediately improve the look of any driveway, garage, patio, parking lot, shop floor, or equipment, the Concrete Stain Stealer™ is the most inexpensive and simple way to remove oil, tar, tire marks, grease, fuel, or dark stains from concrete surfaces. Earth-Friendly Rejuvenate Stain Stealer™ uses natural bio-enzymatic action to clean dirty, stained concrete immediately. Stain Stealer’s unique bio-enzymatic technology not only effectively removes unsightly stains, but also prevents oily and environmentally hazardous materials from being washed into run-off and surface waters, thereby making Stain Stealer™ a safe alternative to harsh caustic or acidic cleaners. Its non-corrosive formulation with a low concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) also makes Stain Stealer™ safer for the environment. Benefits for the product include: contains live microbes that eat away at the stain even after you are done; meets US Federal storm water regulations; no harsh damaging solvents; and no toxic fumes. The two-step process takes about 15 minutes, and uses no water making no leftover mess. www.ForLifeProducts.com http://www.weinbrennerusa.com http://www.pacificfloorcare.com http://www.ForLifeProducts.com http://www.cloroxprofessional.com
