Karcher Wins Case Against Tennant

 

P R E S S   R E L E A S E 

Tennant has lost court case regarding advertising claims for “activated water”

Final judgement: “ec-H2O” no better than tap water

Winnenden, September 2013 – So-called “activated water” is no more effective than tap water. Tennant’s advertising claims ascribing the cleaning power of an all-purpose cleaner to water “activated” using the ec-H2O technology, are anti-competitive: This landmark decision by the Stuttgart Regional Court is now legally binding. Tennant has withdrawn its appeal.

“The evidence was overwhelming. We were always confident that the facts would prevail in the end. With the withdrawal of the appeal the court’s decision is now legally effective: ec-H2O cleans no better than tap water,” says Markus Asch, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Alfred Kärcher GmbH & Co. KG. “The court decision is a success that benefits all customers. Competitive cases such as this one create confidence and trust.“

Tennant is required to bear the costs of the proceedings. This judgment will make waves worldwide. It heavily relies on the findings of the independent expert Thomas Hofmann (Zurich University of Applied Sciences) who had been appointed by the court. Besides Kärcher, other competitors and associations had publicly thrown doubt on the effectiveness of “ec-H2O” and carried out scientific studies as well as practical tests regarding the alleged cleaning effect.

More New Products!

We have been learning about a lot of new products lately! We are excited to be able to order these new products in and offer them to our clients. As soon as we hear about new products we like to share this info in hopes of helping our clients improve their cleaning systems and facilities. This morning our sales representatives learned about the Suma Optifill system from Diversey. This system has two products included - a detergent and a sanitizer.  The containers conveniently slip onto the dividers in your sink and provides automatic dilution by pouring water into a spout in the product container.This creates an extremely efficient wash, rinse, sanitize system in a typical three sink commercial kitchen. The product is highly concentrated so it lasts for a long time and creates less waste by reducing packaging in comparison to lower concentration formulas. If you have any questions about this product our sales staff are now fully informed on the benefits of this product. Anyone here would be happy to chat with you about this product or any of the others that we carry. Please feel free to call us at (888) 454-0807 or e-mail us at actionjs@eastlink.ca. You can also find product literature and MSDS on Diversey's website.

Marino-Vileda Swep Duo System

The Swep Duo System is an innovative new mopping system from Vileda. It is optimized for health care facilities and nursing homes. The focus of this system is ergonomics and efficiency for the person using it. In addition to the overall design, there is efficiency added because these microfiber mops are double sided! This means you can ensure better cleaning economy for your facility. For a visual demonstration, take a look at Viledas demo video here. If you are interested on pricing please contact us by telephone at (902) 454-0807 or by e-mail at actionjs@eastlink.ca

Two-sided mops = twice the cleaning area
The new Swep Duo System gives you the same great cleaning performance on both sides of the mop. This means up to the double area cleaned by each mop, and half as many mop swaps. It’s quite obvious that this saves cleaning time, b ut it also means a lot of other savings.

Fewer mops = lower costs
If you’re looking for cost cuts, you’ll soon discover that fewer mops have to be purchased, washed and prepared. And fewer mops have to be brought to the cleaning area. Lower costs? Of course, and besides – you can still keep on using your single-sided Swep mops. Which means that the initial investments can be kept down, and you’ll have maximum flexibility right away. 

A new standard in ergonomics = healthier staff
The Swep Duo System is designed to relieve and facilitate, in every detail. One example is the new, ergonomically designed and colour-coded handle with various hand positions and a soft rounded top, shaped Then note the low weight and the quick, distinct handle to suit the palm.length adjustment. Experience the easiness of flipping the frame around, and how simple it is to change mops. No strange features, just smart solutions. But totally unique for the Swep Duo System.

A Complete System = solves every task
 The Swep Duo System is a complete, highly efficient floor cleaning system. Two different types of two-sided microfibre mops cover most application areas, and you can easily clean floors, stairs and walls as well as ceilings with Swep Duo System. Thanks to the trapezoid shape of the frame it’s also easy to clean in corners and other hard-to-reach spaces. The jointed 3D-connection between handle andframe makes it easy to manoeuvre the mop – even in rooms tightly packed with furniture. The Swep Duo System is perfect for office environments, residential properties and schools, but also suitable for healthcare, hotels and restaurants. So if you want to make a difference when it comes to ergonomics and economy – choose Swep Duo System. Twice as intelligent.
