WHAT'S NEW Woolsafe-approved shampoo for rugs


brings down the cost Rug cleaning specialists have welcomed the availability of a UK-manufactured high foaming carpet shampoo after approaches to the WoolSafe Organisation.


A reformulation of Surrey-based Prochem’s B103 Contract Carpet Foam Shampoo is a ‘big deal’ for the rug cleaning industry says the company’s Director of Sales & Training, Phil Jones.


Phil said: “Rug cleaning businesses approached the WoolSafe Organisation asking for a more cost-effective high foaming detergent as the products they currently use are becoming more and more expensive to import due to international shipping costs.


“WoolSafe rose to the challenge and did some testing on Prochem’s B103, which has now been given WoolSafe- approved status.”


Feedback from cleaning specialists post-testing of the solution in mechanical rug cleaning plants and rotary systems has been positive.


Allan Simmons of Clean & Dry in Yorkshire added: “We worked out the dilution rate for use in our rug cleaning plant and the results are fantastic.”


In safe hands


A team from SafeGroup Services, one of the UK’s leading providers of specialist cleaning services, attended Prochem’s Training Academy in Surrey to enhance their skills on a one day hard floor cleaning and maintenance session, designed specifically to meet member needs.


Proficient with biohazard cleaning, fire and flood cleans, waste removal and pest control, SafeGroup’s Managing Director Adam Wilkinson was now investing in his team’s knowledge of all types of hard flooring.


SafeGroup’s teams are mobile nationwide and service a wide range of sites, spanning the healthcare, hospitality, FM, manufacturing, retail and transport sectors.


Derek West of Cheshire’s Arcadia Spa highlighted that they were ‘very impressed’, and commented that: “It performed exceptionally well on some oriental and Chinese rugs that we had in.”


The revised solution has been renamed B103 Contract Carpet & Rug Shampoo.

With this in mind, Prochem designed a course focusing on their individual requirements, such as the identification of the various types of flooring in the market: how to clean kitchen floors; gym shower and toilet flooring; as well as how to seal, polish and strip different floors.


Adam commented: “Our team found the training provided by Prochem to be extremely beneficial, and allows us to remain at the forefront of hard floor cleaning technologies. Based on the great feedback on the day, we will continue to partner with Prochem for a range of specialist cleaning training.”
