Testing of our products was conducted in conjunction with the largest travel organization in Canada, the Toronto Transit Commission, serving a city of over five million people. The DR-1100 machine produces steam at over 300 degrees Fahrenheit (F), which can be used to kill bacteria and address any bedbug issues without the use of harmful chemicals. Dr. Gum Inc.

However, absor-bency is also a disadvantage with a traditional style four-sided mop: It holds twice the “wet weight” of an X-large blended loop mop with the surface area coverage of a small loop. GSC Manufacturing’s patent-pending design offers all of the clean-ing advantages of a microfiber tube mop and covers double the surface area of a five-inch by 20-inch pad. PRESPRAY Blitz prespray from HydraMaster incor-porates a solvent into a blend of alkaline cleaning agents and builders that quickly dissolves and emulsifies the heaviest of soil. Blitz is a non-enzyme mixture, so it does not require long dwell times to break down the grimiest soil. This economi-cal powder prespray will melt the grimy soil away right before your eyes. Blitz is a ready to use (RTU) formula with a pH of 12 to 12.5, meaning it works well on neglected carpets. It is not designed to be used on well-maintained, stain-resistant carpets. At a use rate of only two ounces per gallon of hot water, Blitz is super-concentrated and economical to use.
