could have prepared me for the demonstration given by Karin Mugnaini Girault. Using only water the ionator completely removed oil from a piece of glass. This was certainly an impressive piece of kit. Is it the future of cleaning as we know it? Only time will tell...
If I had to give an award for the friendliest stand it would undoubtedly go to Branova. Managing Director, Dominic Barnes, with team members Steve and Julie, were always seen with smiles on their faces on their busy stand. The Meleco Magic Eraser is a firm favourite of mine having tested the product before in our December issue. Between me and you, we find it extremely useful in removing the coffee stains
