What is the difference between SaniClean™ and Glaze seal type systems.

If you are considering the glaze process why not complete the elimination of germs in your restrooms by having both processes done. The glazing process bonds a very durable, non-porous, grout replacement material over the old grout, and shields the entire surface with a coating.

SaniClean™ specializes in public restroom restoration, antimicrobial coatings for restroom fixtures, walls and floors that keep restrooms germ free. SaniClean™ uses an impregnating multi polymer germ free coating that fills the microscopic peeks and valleys in various substrate surfaces permanently. Prior to doing this we restore the floor and grout back to it’s original color using high pressure steam equipment.

What are the disadvantages to Glaze seal type systems & Membrane type coatings?
Ceramic floors are designed by architects and put in restrooms to provide a non-slip floor from moisture. Ceramic floors with grout joints provide a low spot for water to flow to floor drains when water spills onto the floor. Membrane coatings defeat this purpose.

Membrane coated floors only look as good as the coating sitting on top of them and eventually that coating has to come off. Striping these coatings off is very expensive; consequently you could pay handsomely for them to be maintained.

What about regular floor wax and sealers?
This is the most common attempt to keep the grout and tile from getting dirty These products have all of the same disadvantages as the permanent type membrane coating system and more. Since these types of sealers are not designed to go onto a ceramic tile they tend to flake off, so the custodian just keeps adding more and more wax on top of old dirty wax. Then they decide that it needs to be striped off, but they can’t get it out of the grout, so you end up with dirty grout glued in by the wax.

What is the difference between SaniClean™ and Swisher
Swisher applies a germicide treatment to all of the surfaces that they clean and maintain. SaniClean™ uses an impregnating multi polymer germ free coating that fills the microscopic peeks and valleys in various substrate surfaces permanently. We not only protect the surface form germs we protect the surface from degradation from human touch, graffiti, water deposits, dust, acid-rain, salt-fog, smog emissions and other surface damaging contaminants that cause germs, corrosion, oxidization, and staining. SaniClean™ coatings also makes the surface resistant to minor scratching, abrasion and acid etching from vandalism.

Is SaniClean difficult to maintain?
Once the initial application has been done, anyone can be trained to maintain the integrity of initial application. SaniClean will train your custodian how to maintain your germ free facilities or provide you with a qualified maintenance service applicator.

Why should I consider using SaniClean?
If you are like most people, you are concerned about your health and your customers impressions of your business. Restroom cleanliness and sanitation is the number one complaint in the cleaning industry. SaniClean with “ForeverSani™” is the most exciting innovation within the commercial cleaning Industry in decades. The biochemist at “ForeverSani™” have developed a chemical technology and cleaning system that allows SaniClean customers to enjoy a sanitation level that no one else can match.

Do you have independent lab test on your Coatings?

Yes, the multi polymer in SaniSeal™ the coating used by SaniClean™ has been tested see results to date below:

We also have preliminary test done by LASCO Bathware Shower Doors Company. LASCO did an accelerated test on a glass shower door with aluminum frame and their test showed no change in the protection in 6.3 years of hard water spray.

Test Portfolio

A. Smith-Emery Company: The SaniSeal product was tested by the Curtain Wall Laboratory of Smith-Emery Company, a full service independent test laboratory with offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Anaheim, to several test standards, including ASTM, as follows:

1. Surface Protection Characteristics: Aluminum and titanium sheet materials were coated with three applications of the SaniSeal product and allowed to set for 12 hours. The sheet material surfaces were also treated with an anodized finish, a Kynar base paint and one was untreated prior to the SaniSeal coating being applied. The coated surfaces were then sprayed with non-diluted aircraft engine fuel, hydraulic fluid and engine oil. The material sat for 48 hours then wiped clean. One sample was subjected to an abrasive rub before the fuel, fluid and oil were applied.

Results: It was observed that the samples coated with the SaniSeal product had less color variation and were easier to clean than the non-coated samples. It was also noted that residual oils were not present on the treated samples. On the samples used for the abrasive test, the samples did appear slightly darker than the other coated samples but were easier to clean than the untreated samples. The untreated samples in all cases were darker in color and difficult to clean.

2. ASTM G-53-84, Accelerated Weathering: Two samples each of metallic coated glass and silicon setting blocks were coated with the SaniSeal product. One sample of each was then exposed to light and condensation conditions using a Model DMC-R Atlas Weatherometer for various times and temperatures over one week, or a total of 168 hours in the Weatherometer.

Results: Neither sample showed any variation from the coated non-tested samples.

3. ASTM B-118, Salt Spray Test: Two samples of an aluminum extrusion were coated with two coats of SaniSeal product and two samples were coated with three coats of SaniSeal product. One sample was left uncoated. All samples were tested for 96 hours using a 5% by weight concentration of salt spray at 95 degrees F.

Results: The SaniSeal coated samples showed no visual effects and wiped clean after a clean water rinse. The uncoated sample had an accumulation of discoloration at the edge of the extrusion.

4. ASTM G-7, Atmospheric and Environmental Exposure: Two samples each of granite, limestone and reflective glass were coated with two coats of SaniSeal product. One set of samples was set at a 45-degree angle to the ground and left exposed to the Southern California environment for 2376 hours from November through February. The other set of samples were set at a 90 degree angle to the ground and exposed to the same conditions and were further exposed to water, wind and a splattering of oil every 15 minutes for a total test time of 1488 hours from November through January. Uncoated samples were also exposed to the same conditions.

Results: All samples coated with the SaniSeal product showed no change in appearance and were easy to clean. The uncoated glass sample had no change in color but was difficult to clean. The uncoated granite and limestone had discoloration at the edges and were very difficult to clean. The limestone could not be totally cleaned.
