Finally.... An Environmentally Friendly Disinfectant

VIKING CHEMICALS is proud to introduce HDOX, a new cleaning agent that provides a safe, simple, and cost effective solution to eliminate 95% of the chemicals currently in your custodial closet!

BEFORE

AFTER

 HDOX is one concentrated product, mixed at only two dilution rates that will clean virtually your whole facility while providing Disinfecting, Sanitizing, Virucide, and Fungicide claims.  This product performs excellent as a primary cleaner on most surfaces, so you will be confident using it to attack almost all of your cleaning tasks. 

HDOX is a hydrogen peroxide based product which contains No Asthmagens, No Alcohols, No Ammonia, No Quats and No VOC's, and is registered with the EPA under# 84198-1 to Kill MRSA, CA-MRSA and Influenza Type A. It is automatically diluted through a wall mounted or portable, on-the-go proportioning system to prevent over-mixing and waste. You will have less product in your facility, less room for error and a cleaner facility since hydrogen peroxide is a residue free cleaner.

 

Even if you have seen or tried Hydrogen peroxide cleaners in the past, I invite you to learn more about our HDOX.  It is one of only a few products that are actually Hydrogen peroxide based with substantial kill claims to include MRSA and Influenza while not harming the integrity of impervious surfaces…..

Floor Stripping Pads

Floor stripping today is revolutionized by some newer and far more aggressive floor pads to help remove even the toughest of buildups.  Why strip with a traditional black pad when there are so many newbies to hit the scene?  Use a great water based floor stripper loaded with active content like our VIKING TERMINATOR in conjunction with one of these pads and you will wonder what took you so long to try something new!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I always recommend the product that I find works the best right out of the gate.  In this case that would be the DOMINATOR floor pad. This pad should be used in the toughest of situations because it WILL perform the best.   This pad boasts an extra heavy denier fiber, more aggressive grit and more open weave to allow a nice holding spot for all the debris removal that will happen.  This pad is designed to be used up 350 RPM buffers and is made of 100% recycled polyester fiber for those who are earth conscious.  Using this floor pad can even get you a few LEED points due to its recycled content!

 

Moving on to a slightly less aggressive pad is the HI PRODUCTIVITY black pad.  This pad gets points for a great open weave design, giving plenty of room to hold plenty of old finish.  The construction is slightly less aggressive than our friend DOMINATOR, but still can handle a tough job in a super economical way.  HI PRODUCTIVITY black pads are designed to be used with machines up to 350 RPMs.

 

Remember folks, all pads can be laundered or rinsed to get more life out of them.  This will not only save the environment of unnecessary waste, but save you money too!  Just swirl in a bucket of stripping solution to remove the debris that your pad effectively collected.  Allow to air dry until your next stripping adventure…….

 

Capt. Paddy Pad, strikes again!!!

Until next time, folks….don’t let the stripper make you the slipper!

Winter Carpet Care

It is very important during the cold weather months to protect your carpets and hard floors from ice melt, dirt, and moisture, as the snow falls and melts around us.  Carpets and hard floors should be cleaned more often during the winter, so they may maintain a longer life. 

A winter carpet maintenance program should include: 

·       Vacuuming (daily)

·       Removal of spillage (daily)

·       Interim maintenance (carpet bonnet or brush using a rotary machine)

·       Overall cleaning (water extraction)

The frequency depends on the amount of traffic that the carpet is subjected, and the required appearance of the carpet, but in the winter the frequencies should be increased. 

Make sure matting is adequately placed at all entrances and staged from outside a vestibule, to inside a lobby.  This will help capture and hold dirt and moisture so that it can be properly removed and vacuumed at the end of a shift.  You should select matting with heavy face weight and thick rubber backing, so that the mat will capture as much debris as possible while staying properly in its place.  

Winter will be upon us for quite some time, but hopefully these tips will keep your carpets looking sparkling clean like a bright summer day!

Having trouble with stinky bathrooms?

The bathroom should be cleaned as usual using a neutral disinfectant to eliminate germs. The problem…..and why bathrooms smell…..is that disinfectants do not attack uric salts which are naturally occurring from urine accumulation on a surface. Enzymes are microscopic little eaters that go after naturally occurring proteins like urine. The enzymes should be the last step In cleaning a bathroom. Prior to leaving the restroom and after regular cleaning, enzymes should be sprayed under toilets behind toilets and on any vertical tiled surfaces to start eating away at the uric salts that are creating the foul odor smell. Allow to air dry…..do not mop up. Repeat daily or weekly depending on how bad the odor is….


Eventually the bathroom will not only smell cleaner it will be cleaner.
