Why having a ‘Serious Chat’ could really pay off
Leading cleaning chemical manufacturer Greyland was one of the stand out successes of the Cleaning Show held in Manchester just recently.
Benefitting from a bright, green, and open stand layout, together with a ‘Come and have a Serious Chat’ message, the company reports that it was busy throughout the event, having interesting and ongoing conversations about its Biotech and Maximum Eco ranges with many of the high quality distributors and potential distributors who visited the stand looking for sustainable and eco-friendly products to satisfy customer demand.
The Serious Chat message was highlighted on the stand by a video loop interview with Dr Tony Davies, Biotechnology & Biological Cleaning Specialist, discussing the effectiveness and sustainability of Greyland’s Biotech range.
The Biotech range of products work by using eco-friendly bacteria to colonise surfaces. Enzymes are then produced which break down organic matters such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins. By doing this, these products are able to effectively remove soiling for a long-term cleaning effect and help to eliminate unpleasant odours. Due to the noncorrosive nature of probiotic cleaners in use, surfaces are not damaged by their regular application.
Greyland’ Maximum Eco range comprises a mixture of probiotic enzyme-based products and water-based products, made from plant-based, environmentally-friendly ingredients to be fully user-friendly and biodegradable. They are powerful, effective and safer than many cleaning chemicals currently in use. All are non-toxic, non-flammable, non-carcinogenic and non-harmful to marine and aquatic life. The range complies with all the current legislation including EC Detergent Regulation 648/2004 & REACH 1907/2006.
Since 1998, Greyland has been manufacturing and providing industrial chemicals & cleaning products to more than 400 customers all over the UK and on continental Europe. The company also champions the responsible use of plastics by ensuring that all its containers are fully recyclable, with the vast majority containing 51% UK recycled polymer, thus saving on imports.
In addition to the great value found in the Greyland range, another way that a Serious Chat can pay off, is that it also happens to be the name of the Greyland owned racehorse looking to achieve its 6th win this year this coming Saturday at Doncaster…
