RENCLEAN Denis Rawlins


One of the trickiest tasks in floor cleaning has been transformed by a quick and easy one-person cleaning method.


Escalators can now be cleaned within minutes using RENclean – with better results and at a fraction of the cost of specialist cleaning machines.


Patented in the US and new to the UK, RENclean uses an engineered sponge that slots into the threads of an escalator or travelator. The pad is first soaked in its trough of solution, and then placed against the combplate using a telescopic handle. As the oncoming treads pass through the pad, it removes and absorbs the dirt, grease and soils from the escalator. A full cleaning cycle takes just three to five minutes. Pads are washable and reusable.


Maintenance and cleaning teams responsible for some of London’s longest and busiest escalators said this elegantly simple tool cleaned better than a machine. Demonstrations in a department store, mall and airport were similarly positive, as facility managers noted the difference under foot as well as to the eye.


James White, MD of RENclean distributor Denis Rawlins Ltd, said: “On escalators slips are likely to have far more serious consequences than other falls, yet they tend to be cleaned less often and less effectively than adjacent flooring.


“RENclean is simple, economical and effective. It can be easily integrated into routine cleaning, avoiding the need for costly machines or cleaning specialists. It’s also ideal for tackling spills quickly, or restorative cleaning. So, we’re not surprised by the huge interest from across the industry.”

SANSAFE HYGIENIC BIN LINERS Cromwell Polythene


Cromwell Polythene’s Sansafe hygienic bin liners – relaunched with a new formula – use 30% recycled high-density polyethylene, rather than virgin material, as well as a more powerful scent additive. The liners are tested to ISO22196, offering antimicrobial protection to hygienic liners for sanitary and medical disposal services, waste management and janitorial sectors.


Manufactured to incorporate Biomaster silver antimicrobial technology, which is added during the film extrusion process, the bags are protected against harmful bacteria such as E. coli and Legionella, while an enhanced scent additive – Scentmaster pine tree fragrance – helps mask unpleasant odours both inside and outside the liners.


Sansafe liners save operatives time and money by reducing and even eliminating the need to use separate antimicrobial products during waste collection and disposal. They can also support a facility’s infection prevention and control programme. Measuring a generous 615mm x 590mm, the liners fit most 30-35l 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.


Cromwell’s managing director, James Lee, said: “The new formula builds on the success we have enjoyed over the two years since we introduced the original Sansafe liners. These enhanced liners provide superior performance, while still being a competitively priced against alternatives.”


The product proved immediately popular and Cromwell Polythene dispatched a large order to Austria for use in washrooms throughout the capital, Vienna. A total of 90 Sansafe 30l liner cases consisting of 900 rolls, or 22,500 bags, were sent.
