2 reasons to use Thick Bleach

Blendwell Chemicals has recently launched some new household and office cleaning products. Among the new products is Thick Bleach. What are the advantages of thick bleach over a traditional thin bleach?

• Thick Bleach will not splash as easily as thin bleach. Especially when your bleach is in a larger container like a 5 litre can, it's easy to spill bleach all over as you pour. This can be a massive problem if you spill on a carpet or your clothes. Splashes of bleach can easily ruin these items. Thick Bleach does not splash as much and the chances of landing up with little white spots on your favourite black pants is minimised.
• Thick Bleach is also more likely to stick to surfaces for longer. Just think about when you're cleaning your toilet. If you use pour thin bleach onto the insides of the toilet, it simply runs off. Thick Bleach will have a longer contact time as it will follow gravity more slowly. This, in turn, means that more germs and bacteria will be killed.

This new cleaning product will make your household and office cleaning easier and more efficient. Visit Blendwell Chemicals website at www.blendwell.co.za for more information on other cleaning products that will make your cleaning easier.

What are the 5 different hazard symbols for cleaning chemicals?

All chemicals, cleaning and others, are classified and they carry hazard symbols. Cleaning chemicals usually only have four different types of hazard symbols.

The most common hazard symbol is for irritant:

When you see this symbol it is possible that the cleaning product could cause some irritation in either skin, eyes, breathing or when ingested. The irritation can be mild or severe. Some people are extremely sensitive and may have a reaction when most people won’t. The product will still be labelled as irritant to protect these sensitive individuals.

Then you may also see the symbol for corrosive:

Items that carry this label must be handled with care and proper protective gear is necessary when handling these cleaning products. They are aggressive chemicals that can cause serious injury to all. It describes a substance that may destroy living tissue on contact.

Another of the hazard symbols is for harmful products:

This symbol is very similar to the irritant symbol but you will notice a small “I” on the irritant symbol. The harmful symbol describes a product that may causes some form of harm.

You may also see the sign for flammable:

This symbol will describe a cleaning product that is flammable and can easily catch fire. This cleaning product may require special handling or storage considerations.

The last symbol you might see on a cleaning product is for toxic:

If a product has this symbol, handle with extreme care as it may be poisonous if swallowed or breathed in. Please be careful

How to clean your driveway, forecourt or workshop and still be green!

Long gone are the days of green cleaning only being for hippies who had no real need for serious hygiene. Going green is now a global concern and we can all do our bit to help the earth. A few years ago, it was easy to say that green cleaning products were just not strong enough to clean properly. This has changed. Nowadays, with technological advances, green cleaning products can be just as powerful as traditional cleaners and without the damage to the environment.

One such cleaning product is Eco-Lyte DG. This powerful cleaning product is made for simple salt and water so it has no impact on the environment. You can’t just mix salt with water in your kitchen and expect the same results. This cleaning product is made by salt and water passing through a specialised electrical process which activates its cleaning potential. Eco-Lyte DG is one of the products that result from this process.

To clean your driveway, forecourt or workshop floor, simply pour an even layer of Eco-Lyte DG over the floor and allow it to rest for about 20 minutes. This will give the cleaning product time to work and will cut down on scrubbing time. Then take a hard broom and scrub the floor clean. Rinse the floor with a hose to remove all the dirt and squeegee the water away. Be sure to put adequate signage around the area being cleaned to alert people of the possibility of slipping.

For more information on this amazing cleaning product, please visit www.blendwell.co.za/Eco-Lyte_DG. Blendwell Chemicals has a massive range of cleaning products manufactured at their factory in Johannesburg, South Africa. We are the best local wholesaler of cleaning products. 

5 ways to clean driveways, forecourts and workshop floors

Driveways, forecourts and workshop floors can get really dirty. Typically you can expect a fair amount of grease and oil on these floors and that can take some serious cleaning power. Usually these floors are made of brick or concrete and in some cases they can be painted.

• Caustic based cleaners like Conclean are very powerful cleaners but they can be too much for your floor. If the floor is painted then this cleaner can strip the paint. This product is recommended where driveways and forecourts are grease stained.
• Non-caustic cleaners like Yellow Floor powder work really well on painted surfaces and unpainted alike. Yellow Floor Powder is a blend of concentrated detergents and surfactants so you can be sure that it will clean up the grease quickly and easily.
• An acid cleaning product like Brickwash will work very well on building sites to remove excess cement. Do not use this product for regular cleaning as it is not intended for this purpose.
• Wac GP Cleaner is a fabulous all-purpose cleaner which is great for maintenance cleaning.
• Maxi Clean is another all-purpose cleaning product that may be a better option if your regular cleaning needs an extra punch.

Cleaning driveways, workshop floors and forecourts does not need to be the biggest headache anymore. Blendwell Chemicals offers you easy, practical and affordable cleaning solutions.
