Seeing is believing: Validating floor finish performance

Trusted suppliers and manufacturers are a great resource for facility managers as they analyze and filter information from end users regarding green cleaning choices.

The best business decisions are often the result of research, education and hands-on experience.

LaVonne Scott, purchasing manager for ADCO Cleaning Supply Inc. in Denver, was tired of caustic products she used in her own business space to keep up floor appearance.

Scott turned to Core Products Co., Inc. for help in choosing a Green Seal®-certified floor finish. "We tested Core's Green Logic® Zinc-free Floor Finish in our lunchroom," says Scott, "which is a high-traffic area and had been somewhat neglected. The results of the test were a pleasant surprise, which made the old tile look new."

Scott says the application was easy, it dried quickly, and she did not experience bubbling on the floor or any harsh fumes.

This enabled her to put the finish down without disturbing people who were working.

Scott said she's been sending this floor finish "up the mountain" to her resort customers ever since.

Her upscale clients have also provided rave reviews about the ease of use and endurance of the finish.

Jeff Handerson, head of buildings & grounds for Lynden Christian Schools, agrees with Scott about the importance of indoor air quality and finish endurance for floor care products.

Handerson takes care of Lynden Christian Schools' 45-acre, century-old campus in Lynden, WA.

Handerson began looking for green floor care alternatives last summer, and was approached by Carl Haan of Northwest Professional Services to conduct an in-house product test of Core's Green Logic® Floor Finish.

Handerson said of his experience, "The thing that impressed me the most, which still does today, was how efficient the process was. We were able to put down four to five coats without bubbling or nasty fumes."

When it comes to a long-lasting finish, Handerson highly recommends Green Logic® Metal-free, Low Odor Floor Finish.

Endurance

Paul Klemke, environmental services director for Christian Health Care in Lynden, WA, was equally impressed with the Green Logic® Floor Finish.

While the senior health care facility was under construction, Klemke was able to quickly put the finish down in high-traffic areas.

Klemke says the application took less time than a traditional floor finish and even with the added stress to the floor from construction debris and re-routed traffic, it still looks great.

Green Logic® Floor Finish is a metal-free, slip-resistant floor seal and finish with cross-linked polymer technology.

When used with the Green Logic® Non-butyl Floor Stripper, the duo provides safer, more effective and environmentally preferred solutions to floor care.

Core's signature Hydroxi Pro® Concentrate is a Green Seal®-certified, multi-purpose, neutral pH hydrogen peroxide based cleaner that can be manually diluted or used in dispenser systems.

Hydroxi Pro® Concentrate is the perfect complement for any floor care program as it can be used for floors, carpets, in restrooms and is NSF-registered for kitchen use.

Core Products Co., Inc. is formulating our future by transforming the cleaning industry with innovative, green cleaning solutions.

With the launch of the Hydroxi Pro® and Green Logic® brands, Core continues to develop safer alternatives to traditional cleaning methods that protect the environment and preserve health.
