Floor Care: Gotta Be A Better Way
What do A&W, McDonalds, and the Swiss Chalet all have in common? Quite a bit, including the floors-or more specifically, the grout in the floors.
All three chains serve millions of people every day. So they select tile that is durable, is made to handle heavy foot traffic, and will last for years.
However, where there is tile there is usually grout.
"The grout soon turns brown because of all the contaminants that have built up," says Ted West, Swish Maintenance Products. "And the surface of the tile begins to get slippery, discolor, and odors develop."
Rectifying the problem can be difficult and expensive and often requires the hiring of floor cleaning professionals. "And many times, the floors still do not come out well," adds West. "My customers keep asking if there is a better way to keep the tile and grout clean."
Now distributors can say yes. ES 685 Night Shocker cleans and restores tile and grout to their original, healthy condition. That's because it employs a microbial cleaning technology that eats away at grease, soot, dirt, and contaminants.
What's more, it's environmentally responsible and endorsed by the Green Restaurant Association.
