Unelko Corporation's advanced surface care solutions to old problems are predicated on these irrefutable facts:
- No matter how much you clean, sanitize or disinfect surfaces…dirt, grime and surface-contact germs keep coming back!
- Even non-stick PTFE coatings do not prevent soiling…but they do make cookware and utensils infinitely easier to clean!
- Along with "tracked-in" dirt and grime, interior surface soiling invariably starts with "everyday spills and splatters" of water, foodstuff, grease, oil and soap scum…or by contact with microorganism-contaminated food, fingerprints and organic soil that are rapidly cross-contaminated by surface-to-hand, hand-to-surface and surface-to-hand contact.
- Hard surfaces are like sponges…they have microscopic pores that trap water, organic and inorganic soil that combine, attach to the pores and build up on the surface.
- Municipally furnished water - while generally safe for drinking, cooking, washing and bathing - still contains enough salts, hard water minerals, bacteria, organic and inorganic contaminates and water treatment chemicals to be chemically active.
- When such water combines with ordinary soil and evaporates on sinks, tubs, toilets, shower enclosures, bathroom mirrors, tile walls, counters, tables and other hard surfaces, it leads to the formation, adhesion and buildup of soap scum, foodstuff, lime scale, mold, mildew, rust and hard water deposits that become increasingly water & soil insoluble.
- No matter how well the thousands of conventional spray cleaners, detergents, abrasive cleansers and traditional antimicrobials perform, it remains that they are only 1-time "clean" or 1-time "kill" compositions that provide no ongoing protection against re-soiling and re-contamination.
- Unless thoroughly flushed and/or wiped from the surface, they leave residues that promote buildup and allow bacteria, mold and mildew to grow.
- Traditional antimicrobials typically require a "pre-cleaning" of the surface, a time interval between application and their effectiveness, and some form of post-application treatment of the surface. Without examining the surface and "swab testing" for microbial contamination after their use, there is no way to determine if the surface has, in fact, been "sanitized."
