  • Innovative Combination Steamer/Vacuum to Revolutionize Cleaning and Sanitizing Processes

    29 Jul 2013 7:05 PM | IJCSA - (Administrator)

    Four Patented Innovations Integrated Into Industry's Safest, Most Sustainable, New Cleaning and Sanitizing Device

    SAN ANTONIO, TX--(Marketwired - July 29, 2013) -  Falcon ProSolutions today announced the introduction of the new Peregrine 1800-XD, a compact, innovative, steam cleaner with a powerful, high-performance vacuum for the safe, sustainable cleaning and sanitizing of schools, hospitals, restaurants, food service operations and virtually any environment desiring to remove dirt or kill germs without the use of harmful chemicals. 

    "Steam has been an effective cleaning and sanitizing solution for well over 140 years -- long before chemical solutions were introduced," says Eric Downing, vice-president of sales for Falcon ProSolutions. "Healthcare and food manufacturing operations have been successfully using large-scale steaming processes for decades. With the new Peregrine 1800-XD, cleaning professionals everywhere can now achieve the same power and performance of these big steam units, only from a compact, easy-to-use, highly affordable machine."

    The industry's most innovative steam cleaner, the Peregrine features four, patented inventions that, combined, will bring steam cleaning into the mainstream: Intelligent Boiler Technology (IBT), Extreme Duty Vacuuming (XDV), a proprietary and unique safety hose, and the revolutionary Cool Hand Tool System. Together, these four innovations make the Peregrine one of the safest, easiest-to-use, and high performing cleaning and sanitizing method available today.

    Low Maintenance Through Intelligent Boiler Technology

    Traditional steamers have long faced challenges from hard water and scale build-up. Left untreated, this led to the machines producing hot water instead of steam as well as damage to the boiler leading to an expensive repair or even the retirement of the machine after a short lifespan. 

    Intelligent Boiler Technology is an on-board monitoring system that tells the user when the steamer needs descaling long before the boiler coils can be damaged. The unique design enables the unit to be descaled by the end user and then put back into service the same day. With dual coil heating elements that provide more heating surface area than any other steamer in its class, the Peregrine XD provides culinary grade steam in greater quantities and at superior temperature range.

    High Performance from the Revolutionary XDV Vacuum

    Truly an innovation for the commercial cleaning industry, the Peregrine 1800 XD, also features a powerful vacuum system.

    With a mechanical float shut off system to protect the vacuum, the Peregrine 1800 XD is specially-designed to utilize water in a one-of-a-kind constructed clear recovery tank. When the dirt, water and biological contaminants enter the chamber, they are immersed in a water bath. All debris then settles in' the bottom of the tank for disposal after use. The water, debris and biological contaminants in the tank are continually bombarded with UV rays from an onboard lamp through a quartz glass insert. This entire process works together to eliminate many common biological contaminants and results in a sanitized, virtually "smell free" recovery tank.

    The vacuum is protected by a patented cone shaped fan/screen that utilizes the engine's normal rotation to throw any lightweight debris or water droplets that might become airborne back into the tank. Turning at 24,000 RPMs, any matter coming into contact with this fan/screen system is eliminated before it can damage the vacuum. 

    The air that comes from the tank goes through a by-pass type vacuum motor and is then filtered, before being exhausted, through a ULPA filter. The cooling air from the vacuum which contains microscopic carbon dust is also filtered by the ULPA filter. 

    Increased Safety with the Patented Safe Hose™

    Equipped with the patented Safe Hose, the Peregrine enables all electrical operations to be performed through a low 5-volt connection. This safety seal means the connection and delivery of steam cannot be performed unless the machine and hose are properly connected. Simple and effective, the Safe Hose protects all operators and ensures the safe and proper operation of the machine with a minimum of training.

    Engineered for Long Life -- and Cool Hands.

    Traditional steamer designs delivered tools that were inexpensive but functional. Unfortunately they were manufactured of simple plastic and nylon components with little regard for prolonged use or the comfort of the operator. These units could only be used for short periods of time before the operator put on gloves or simply refused to use the unit until the tools cooled down. 

    The Peregrine 1800 XD breaks new ground in providing tools manufactured with high performance and heat resistant polymers for long life and a cool hand. 

    When steam is delivered from the machine, the hose and steam line together are insulated through a patented series of resistant polymers. Where other machines fail, the Peregrine creates a synergistic bond between machine and operator with the patented operator handle and extension tubes. 

    The Peregrine 1800 XD will be featured at the 2013 International Sanitary Suppliers Association exhibition and conference in Las Vegas, NV, November 19-21, 2013. For more on the Peregrine 1800-XD, please visit www.efalcon-inc.com

  • 2Mops Change Management

    22 Jul 2013 8:22 PM | IJCSA - (Administrator)
    WARWICK undefined On Friday, July 12, local officials and members of the Warwick Valley Chamber of Commerce joined Gloria Slaughter and her family for a ribbon-cutting ceremony outside the Chamber’s “Caboose” office on South Street.

    Last year, Slaughter and Nicole Stein opened “2Mops” cleaning service.
    The goal was to create a cleaning company based on honesty, integrity, trust and 100 percent customer satisfaction.
    The company was well received with its free in-home or office consultation that helps people understand expectations and serves to also uncover special house cleaning instructions, frequency of cleanings and whether green cleaning services are right for the client.
    Today, 2 Mops is no longer a partnership but a solely owned company whose vision, stated Slaughter, still remains consistent with its cleaning.

    “The firm,” she said, “has developed cleaning teams who love to clean both residential and commercial properties.”
    Slaughter added that by choosing a weekly, bi-weekly service or a one-time special home cleaning, 2Mops housekeeping services help you take pride in a fresh home cleaning without the hassle of a contract.
    She explained that with a personal touch, deep cleaning system, products and extensive experience, 2Mops will make your home cleaner and healthier than ever before. And keeping these special home cleaning considerations and your budget in mind, the firm will design household cleaning services around you and your family.
    “Our motto,” said Slaughter, “is ‘We just don’t clean your home, we make it sparkle.”

  • Professional Commercial Cleaning and Janitorial Services Save Companies in Employee Costs

    03 Jun 2013 6:57 AM | IJCSA - (Administrator)
    Tampa, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/28/2013 -- Sick leave within a corporation or office building environment can be a significant expense that a company and business must absorb. Although these are days that are included in the employee benefits, they are still days that detract from a company’s productivity and can even create an exponential affect amongst many.

    A commercial cleaning company that does the extras in order to segregate its waste and germ contamination factors, is one that protects its clients and in the long run, adds to their bottom line. So many cleaning companies overlook the simple issues such as moving from bathroom to bathroom with the same buckets and mops doing harmful damage to the workplace by the “non-elimination” of harmful bacteria that only festers and spreads throughout a workplace.

    The answer and solution to such a quandary is simple yet arduous to execute. The bottom line is that it is easier to not be as sanitary and meticulous because it is in fact more work and more time. State of the art chemicals and cleaning materials are always evolving which good cleaning companies should stay abreast of. Armed with the latest materials however only makes the janitorial services even more valuable to their clients.

    Some machines can actually suck out the dirt and bacteria and hold them until released into a receptacle or area where they are removed from a safe distance that can no longer harm the employees. Additionally, cleaners that enforce training for their employees to learn and study the whys and wherefores in the proper cleaning techniques, makes the supervision of a cleaning company that much easier as well.

    This training approach also instills a confidence in its employees who are entrusted to handle the business’ clients effectively. One or two mishaps become quite noticeable and can sever the janitorial service’s customers.

  • MaidPro Smashes World Record by Short Sheeting over 10,000 Beds in a Single Day

    01 Jun 2013 8:03 AM | IJCSA - (Administrator)

    MaidPro, one of the largest home cleaning franchises in the U.S. and Canada, smashed the previous World Record by short sheeting 10,236 beds in a single day. The previous record holder, Niles Fulton, held the record for exactly fifteen years by short sheeting 332 beds in his college dormitory on April 1, 1998.

    Short sheeting is a prank commonly performed at camps, boarding schools and military barracks. A bed sheet is untucked at the foot end of the bed and folded toward the head, making it look as if it is two sheets (an undersheet and top sheet). When the victim attempts to enter the bed, they are unable to extend their legs, leaving them in an awkward balled up position.

    MaidPro was able to accomplish this feat by tapping into their large customer base and putting into action a one day Short Sheeting Campaign across all of their locations, short sheeting all customer beds for all cleans performed that day.

    The response from this campaign has been dramatic. MaidPro’s phones have been ringing non-stop from puzzled customers and congratulatory observers. A long-time customer, Anne Hallway, wrote, “Congratulations on such a monumental achievement! I never thought the record could be broken. Please never do that again.”

    MaidPro prides itself on forming close relationships with their clients. “How else could we have gotten away with this,” laughed Mark Kushinsky, MaidPro CEO. “Of course we only did this with clients we really knew and had a great connection with.”

    About MaidPro 
    MaidPro is a Boston-based franchisor of housecleaning services with over 150 offices throughout the U.S and Canada. The company, which began franchising in 1997, takes pride in its strong owner community, cutting-edge technology and creative marketing. It has been honored with the Franchise Business Review's Franchise 50 Award in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 for owner satisfaction. The company can be found online atmaidpro.com.
