Non-flammable spray duster


Clearing dust and debris from appliances is a routine part of servicing, but there are risks if the wrong products are used. The Spray Duster from Arctic Hayes is designed specifically for high-risk environments, offering a non- flammable way to shift dust safely around boilers, burners and other heat-sensitive components. Ignition risks are always a


concern around heating systems, but the Spray Duster’s non- flammable formulation makes it suitable for use here or in confined spaces and around enclosed appliances. It’s a high-powered product that blasts dust and debris away without physical contact, reducing the chance of damage while keeping hands clear of awkward or delicate components. A detachable nozzle straw allows


the air jet to be directed precisely into tight spaces around or under appliances, making it easier to clean hard-to-reach areas like beneath refrigerators. Besides being non-flammable, the formulation is non-corrosive and helps prevent rusting, making it suitable for regular use as part of ongoing maintenance. Lee Parsons, MD at Arctic


Hayes, says: “Installers are often working in tight spaces, close to heat sources and live appliances, so using a non-flammable duster is an easy way to reduce risk while still getting a powerful clean. Spray Duster is designed for those real-world conditions, being safe to use around boilers and burners, with the control to reach awkward areas.” ◼ phamnews.co.uk/426/15
