New Product Development and Testing - Brian Brown [Saturday, June 04, 2011] I’m looking for information on paper towels vs. air drying systems for drying hands. What does the public prefer and any other stats or information. We are considering stopping the use of paper towels completely. New Product Development and Testing - Mike Allardyce [Saturday, January 26, 2008] Does any one have any input on trash can lifters? These are lifters that can pick up the trash can and dump it into a dumpster. New Product Development and Testing - Byron  Sandoval [Sunday, May 20, 2007] I was wondering if you could tell me if microfiber material is the right material to use if you were to upholster a chesterfield. I have a dog and a cat so my friend suggested to me to buy microfiber material to cover my chesterfield because she heard it was the best to use when you have animals. New Product Development and Testing - cathy kean [Friday, July 29, 2005] In our institution much of the sub-flooring is concrete and covered with "glue-down" carpet. We are looking at removing the carpet and using the concrete as the floor covering. I have noticed that many retailers, schools and other facilities are now using stained, polished and stamped concrete for their showroom, and retail floors. In our situation, we will be required to remove carpet, clean the concrete and prepare it for it new use. I would like information on the various procedures used to accomplish this type of project. New Product Development and Testing - Ric Christensen [Thursday, July 07, 2005] We would like to test a new biobased cleaning product from 1st Envirosafety. We need an unbiased third party to oversee the testing. And we need a recommended lab for bacterial swab tests. We would like to video tape and hard copy all the tests. If someone could help us put this together or point us in the right direction we would be thankful. James L. Williams, Facilities Manager Meridian School District, Meridian Idaho New Product Development and Testing - James Williams [Saturday, June 12, 2004] How useful is the "self-cleaning" window technology, such as the Pilkington Activ glass that has an extremely thin coating of microcrystalline titanium oxide which reacts to daylight? New Product Development and Testing - Jeff Cross [Wednesday, March 17, 2004] Most of the no-hands restroom cleaning equipment is built with siphon cleaning solution draw to the solution tank. They also include a recovery tank. We are presently using the Tennant 750 system and find that the amount of service required to the equipment while servicing twenty restrooms in our university main Library facility exceeds the amount of time saved on the no-hands pressure washing method. Is there a machine on the market that would hook up directly to a water source, have sufficient PSI washing pressure to do grout cleaning, have a line heater for raising the water temperature for better cleaning and a chemical siphon system to the water pump? I know that some cleaners have employed electrically operated pressure washing systems that are available at Home Depot and Costco that were designed for automotive cleaning or pressure paint stripping.
