SA: VersaClean is a labor-saving system of equipment and chemicals for cleaning carpet and hard surface floors that's simple to use and delivers superior cleaning results. Our design guidelines for the product line are: Equipment as intuitive to operate as a lawn mower and a chemical system that mirrors the simplicity of a coin-operated car wash. The VersaCarpet and VersaTile systems show the results – they use technologies that are quite different from cleaning systems currently available. The VersaCarpet VC700 uses a patent-pending rotary cleaning head that provides Food Safety (Cont'd. from p. 1) which further escalate the need for quality control. No matter how much you improve, there's always another challenge." Asked for an example, Florin says, Viribright Lighting (Cont'd. from p. 1) industry has been very exciting. CN: Describe your company's current marketing strategy. JH: Our unique approach to market enables us to provide the janitorial and sanitation channel a "factory-direct" connection to a new profit center. Typically folks in this industry have had to buy light bulbs through wholesalers and bulb suppliers. It makes logical sense that our current and future channel partners are already in the commercial buildings and in touch with the MRO and facilities decision makers who also need light bulbs. With "factory-direct" distribution Diversey (Cont'd. from p. 1) 50 years.

ST: TASKI procarpet is the latest addition to the TASKI line. It is a unique carpet cleaning machine that allows users to perform deep cleaning extraction and interim carpet cleaning using one machine. We have built the machine based on innovations used in other TASKI machines. Stoko (Cont'd. from p. 4) STOKO logo and package re-design developed under the STOKO re-branding R & B Wire (Cont'd. from p. 4) added strength and durability, along with flame retardant liners. This product line offered a superior product for a comparable price, and sales have supported that. Most customers see the true deep soil extraction. The Versatile VC1200 produces 1000 PSI solution pressure that literally blasts embedded soil from tile and grout while recovering the water at an exceptional rate. CN: Everyone claims to have something new and innovative, so what's truly different about the VersaClean System? SA: The first difference is the size. These are very compact, user-friendly units that anyone can easily operate, yet they can clean both large and small spaces with ease. The system's real difference is a combination of speed of cleaning, ease of use and truly amazing cleaning results.

Even one violation can damage a provider's reputation. That's why we focus on training and prices, our channel partners can be more competitive and get their foot into more re-lamp and retrofit projects more easily. CN: Are you introducing new products? JH: Yes! From last year, we are introducing new Energy Star-certified LED A shape 9.8W (60W) light output (lumens) equivalent bulbs, new 3.8W candelabra lamps, R30 and R40 lamps, outdoor rated 1500 lumen PAR38s, and new 2400K A shape 9.8W medium base for the hospitality industry. CN: What distinguishes your product from the competition? JH: First and foremost, we are a true CN: How does the machine work? ST: With deep extraction, the machine applies a high pressure solution, a brush agitates the solution into the carpet to break down soil and then a vacuum recovers the dirt and solution. For a quicker clean that shortens dry times, the machine also offers interim cleaning. This process uses 80 percent less solution, which bonds to dirt and is then recovered through vacuuming after the product has dried. Performing interim cleaning allows facilities to reduce the frequency of deep extraction and allows them to open carpeted areas sooner. CN: What benefits does TASKI procarpet offer? ST: TASKI procarpet is a portable unit initiative. The new canister design carries the green color coding indicating a cleaning product and prominently displays the STOKO name. The wipes are a large 10 benefit of having a flame retardant product first, and the functional and attractive base makes this product selection a winner. R&B's complete product offering can be viewed at www.rbwire.com on the company's standard website, or on its leaves 64 percent less residual water for faster drying with less re-soiling. It also uses less cleaning solution. These add up to lower production time, reduced labor burden, cost savings and superior results. CN: You've said the system offers superior cleaning. How? What makes it clean so much better? SA: The VersaCarpet (VC700) provides 700 cleaning passes per minute, leaving the carpet cleaner and drier than other technologies.

We manufacture all of our test kits in our own plant, and only use materials made in the U.S.A. Just like our customers, and their customers in turn, we can't afford manufacturer by definition. Most companies, to include major brands, are OEM manufacturers as they contract others to manufacturer for them. We are the factory, period! We developed our products to exceed market requirements in fit, form and function using IPT™ Isolated Phosphor Technology, which provides higher efficiencies. We produce more lumens at lower wattages than competitors making for a shorter time to ROI. Example: We produce 800 lumens at 9.8W vs. the typical 11-13W of other bulbs. Our light bulbs are CRI (Color Rendering Index) corrected by adding red light into our white. This makes our light output more like natural light of the sun and incandescent with simple controls and icons.
