Jon soon established that due to the school team’s reliance on only mopping the toilet floors, this was escalating a soil buildup. Jon brought along two products to get the job done: Prochem’s E457 Natural Multi-Surface Floor Cleaner and A250 Alkleen.

floor pad and a pre-diluted amount of A250 Alkleen, Jon sprayed product onto the floor and gently agitated by hand with the pad.
Jon said: “The result was instantaneous, with the alkali detergent easily removing the soil. Once the floor was wiped with a damp towel, the results became obvious, leaving the school cleaning team amazed with the outcome.”
