Its flagship technology, the HydroRecyClean system, is the only fully integrat-ed and automated closed-loop system for the recovery and reuse of wastewater from surface cleaning operations. The HydroRecyClean system is ideal for maintaining U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) compliance with the Clean Water Act for a variety of surface clean-ing operations from carpet to concrete, including property manage-ment companies, chain restaurants, big box retailers, marinas, theme parks, etc. URETHANE FINISH Eccothane™ all-purpose urethane finish from Essential Industries has been a star performer for over 20 years. It offers ease of use, high durability, exceptional reparability and the ability to resist soiling that few finishes can match. To make Eccothane even better, we’ve improved a couple of things — the biggest being its defoaming capabili-ties, which allows for less foam in your bucket and a smoother application off your mop. The other improvement is deeper lay down gloss — a benefit from its enhanced application. Essential Industries Inc.

With no break-in period required, the Underdog holds up well on concrete and textured floors without unraveling or leaving lint behind. The rayon-synthetic blend of 100 percent post-industrial waste makes the Underdog 70 percent more absorbent than cotton in a more environmental-ly friendly format. MATTING HeatTrak’s heated outdoor safety mats prevent snow and ice accu-mulation on walkways and stairs by melting snow on contact. The mats plug into any standard 120-volt or 240-volt outlet, generating heat to melt snow at a rate of 2 inches per hour. Mats are built with non-slip, ultraviolet (UV) pro-tected rubber and are designed to be left outside for the entire winter season.

But, now the 1250 is receiving acclaim for something else. An inde-pendent laboratory accredited by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that the machine can reduce more than 99.9 percent of targeted microbes on a surface using just plain water. ICE-MELT SPREADER Capable of spreading both sand and rock salt or other dry free-flowing ice-melting materials, the BOSS TGS 800 tailgate spreader from Northern Star Industries is easy to attach and comes with more standard features than any other spreader on the mar-ket. The TGS 800 features an 800-pound capacity and a unique feed paddle mechanism powered by its own 12-volt, high-torque direct current (DC) motor, while the spinner is powered by a separate 12-volt, high-torque electric motor.
