CALL 01322 662289 CHEMICAL MIS-USE CAN CAUSE IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO INTERNAL STONE A subsidary of Thomann-Hanry, leading interior stone specialists Specialist Stone Care, warns today of the mis-use of chemicals on interior stone potentially causing irreversible damage on the stonework of some of Londons most prestigious residences. Headed up by expert Kevin Hooper, a specialist with over 30 years’ experience, Kevin warns: “Internal stone flooring, staircases and decorative features can be incredibly beautiful. Much like anything else however, if left uncared for, the cost of maintenance and ultimately restoration can prove exceptionally expensive. One key example of this is when the wrong chemicals are used when cleaning the stone. This is a very common issue that can arise even when employing cleaning or maintenance companies. It is often not appreciated that depending upon the type of stone, different chemicals are required as part of the cleaning process.” The answer to this is to use experienced professionals who can be relied on to use the 28 DECEMBER / JANUARY 2017 CLEANING HYGIENE TODAY correct treatment for the different stone. Using the wrong chemicals can often cause significant and in some cases irreparable damage. The process of cleaning and maintaining internal stonework is not difficult, but Specialist Stone Care highlights that there are multiple variables to consider. • The type of stone that is requiring treatment • What type of finish the stone has • Any pre-existing wear and tear • Whether it is an area of high footfall Spending years working with an impressive client list such as the Dorchester, The Shard and many high end car showrooms the importance of managing client’s expectations is key so a test clean not only establishes the best material to use on the project but also acts as a benchmark for clients.

The liners are tested to ISO22196, offering antimicrobial protection to hygienic liners for sanitary and medical disposal services, waste management and janitorial sectors. Manufactured with Biomaster anti-microbial technology, the biocide is added during the film extrusion process, ensuring the bags provide secure round-the-clock protection against harmful bacteria such as E.coli and Staph.aureus, while a powerful Scentmaster pine tree fragrance helps mask unpleasant odours, both inside and outside the liners. By using Sansafe liners the need to use a separate anti-microbial/bacterial product may be eliminated in most situations, saving operatives time and cost. Measuring a generous 615mm x 590mm, the liners fit most 30-35 litre bins, while the white opaque film helps obscure the contents for discreet removal. The liners are packed in rolls of 25, 10 rolls per carton, with a guaranteed net box weight of 2.86kg. “The new formula builds on the success we have enjoyed over the two years since we introduced the original Sansafe liners,” says Cromwell’s managing director James Lee. “This enhanced product provides superior product performance, while still representing a competitively priced alternative.” www.cromwellpolythene.co.uk info@cromwellpolythene.co.uk 01977 686868
