INNOVATION TO THE FORE AS RAWLINS SITE
GOES LIVE Innovation in cleaning takes centre stage in a new website launched by Denis Rawlins Limited.
The company’s site is designed to showcase a range of technologies that can help facilities managers and contract cleaners save cleaning time and thus reduce costs while also improving performance.
Denis Rawlins has drawn on its extensive research of the global cleaning equipment market, and distilled four decades’ experience supplying and supporting clients, in developing its online resource.
It highlights three particular aspects of innovation:
• Return on investment: As most cleaning is labour-intensive, labour- saving equipment and methods increase efficiency and fund better services. Chemical consumption tends also to improve.
TORK REINVENTS THE TOILET ROLL –
TO THE VERY CORE Tork manufacturer SCA believes itself to be the only hygiene tissue manufacturer to have come up with a toilet roll with a flushable core.
The Aqua Tube has been designed to be flushed away with just one flush.
“This new product will revolutionise toilet rolls as we know them,” said SCA Senior Product Manager Stephen Wright. “Most of the toilet paper we use today is on a roll – whether a conventional toilet roll, a jumbo roll, a mini-jumbo or a twin roll.
“But the cores have always been a problem as they need to be collected and discarded after the roll has been used up – which adds to the maintenance burden of the cleaner.

• Scientific cleaning: The measure of true cleanliness should not be subjective but based on sound science. The Sutton Coldfield company advocates ‘before’ and ‘after’ testing for ATP (Adenosine TriPhosphate), the universal energy molecule found in all animal, plant, bacterial and mould cells.
• Education and campaigning: Denis Rawlins is working to enlighten the many UK clients and cleaning teams still reliant on hand mopping about the risks and inefficiencies associated with outdated methods.
“We’ve always sought to provide sound advice to clients based on our research and robust evidence of
And if the cores are inadvertently thrown down the toilet, they are likely to block the system.”
The Aqua Tube is made from the same material as the toilet paper itself which means it dissolves easily in water. The technology used to make the cores was recently put to the test in a series of trials which involved attempting to flush more than 10,000 tubes. Aqua Tubes were successfully flushed away without the need for any additional water.
“The Aqua Tube is a highly sustainable solution because it will help companies to reduce their waste and recycling burden,” added Stephen. “This is a true innovation – and one that we are confident will be extremely well received by customers.”
The cores can be flushed away in any type of toilet – even older models, dry toilets and systems using a septic tank. There is no need for
how cost-effective different cleaning methods actually are,” said James White, Managing Director. “Our new website is designed to present the lessons in a clear and accessible way.”
Cleaning industry professionals and clients can also review a comprehensive selection of equipment and products to meet their needs – from No-Touch toilet cleaning to mats and chewing gum removal. This line-up includes 17 established brands represented by Denis Rawlins.
Visitors can also book free demonstrations and enquire about leasing, rental and servicing options.

washroom visitors to wait for the core to break down before flushing as it will disappear from the toilet instantly along with the toilet tissue.
The Aqua Tube core is a feature of SCA’s new three-ply Tork Extra Soft Toilet Rolls. These high quality conventional toilet rolls have a soft, embossed surface and a high level of brightness. The visually appealing rolls are particularly suitable for use in smart, low-use washrooms where sustainability is also important.
