Protect-A-Bed® is a leading provider of premium bedding protection products, featuring cotton terry toweling fabric, laminated to a “Miracle Membrane®” for a waterproof, air vapor porous “Health Sheet™ between sleeper and bedding. Protect-A-Bed® announced last year that its innovative mattress protector product, AllerZip with BugLock™, was honored with the 2007 Editors’ Choice Award at the 92nd annual International Hotel/Motel & Restaurant Show® (IH/M&RS) in New York. One of ten awardees, Protect-A-Bed’s AllerZip is a complete mattress encasement that protects against liquids, allergens, mites, and bed bugs—a growing problem in hotels across the country. www.protectabed.com Tecni-Quip has announced the solutiondriven Linen Distribution System for hotels and resorts. This system can greatly reduce labor costs in handling linens throughout the property. This first-ofits-kind engineered system will also eliminate cross contamination that can occur on traditional maid’s carts by removing soiled items (linen, trash, and glassware) into a separate three-bag soiled collection cart. Key features include: Linen Transport Mobiles, easy-to-push European-styled aluminum Maids Carts and the S3-R Soiled Collection Mobile. Labor is saved by eliminating double/triple handling of linens, increasing productivity of housekeepers (they’re happier, too!), and providing a solution to the overloaded, heavy, traditional metal housekeepers cart. Each model is manufactured from lightweight recycled aluminum alloy and is available in a variety of colors to match any décor. To protect wall coverings, each model is equipped with soft rubber rolling corner bumper guards and/or perimeter guards. www.tqind.com Bird-B-Gone has introduced the Bird Jolt FlatTrack. Bird Jolt FlatTrack is a low profile track system that emits a mild shock to birds as they land upon its surface. The shock will not harm birds, but will condition them to avoid the area. Bird Jolt FlatTrack can be used to deter birds from ledges, signs, I-beams, roof peaks, or anywhere birds are landing. The track is made of flexible and lightweight PVC, which carries a 5-Year Guarantee against U.V. degradation. www.birdbgone.com highlights Lasers are a well-established method of deterring birds, most notably the use of handheld lasers on airfields to prevent devastating loss of time, equipment, and lives from bird strikes. Developing this proven technology, Bird-X, Inc. has announced the world’s first indooruse bird deterrent laser. It combats the expense, unsightliness, and disease associated with birds and their droppings. This Bird BLazer fills the need identified by our 44 years of customer input and experience with bird problems at municipal, industrial and commercial buildings. BLazer uses state-of-the-art “fat beam” laser technology, in dozens of constantly-changing patterns to disrupt pigeons, sparrows, starlings, swallows, and other birds. This economical, one-time purchase covers up to 10,000 square feet. BLazer brings an exponential increase in new uses for previously proven effective laser technology: plants, warehouses, parking facilities, loading docks, sports arenas, distribution centers, transit facilities, and more. In addition, BLazer eliminates the wasted man-hour problem as well. This laser is not handheld, but rather operates on 110v electricity, 24/7, with no oversight or maintenance required, while incorporating constant change in its output to prevent acclimation. www.bird-x.com 26 Executive Housekeeping Today/November 2008 http://www.protectabed.com http://www.tqind.com http://www.bird-x.com http://www.birdbgone.com
