New bio generation of ‘green’ cleaning products achieves remarkable cost savings in water and electricity, Less polution and disposal costs


UltraShield, a well known brand of cleaning and maintenance products in the United Kingdom, has expanded  its operations into the United Arab Emirates. The products, safe to use and gentle on the environment, are extremely powerful and possess significant ‘work capacity’ in comparison to conventional chemical detergents. With UltraShield bio-active cleaners, unlike conventional cleaners, the amount of cleaning product required  reduces after a matter of days following the first application.  As a result of lower product usage, cost savings of 50% and higher are regularly achieved. If proper cost ‘in use’ comparisons versus traditional chemical cleaners are done it is likely that bio-active cleaners will show significant advantages

Ultrashield is the result of 20 years of biochemical research using naturally occurring micro-organisms and enzymes working in harmony with nature to provide the safest and most efficient means of purifying dirt and waste and returning it to the environment.

This new generation of micro-organisms and enzymes target specific soiling problems more effectively, can work in seconds and go on working for days or weeks  (long after a traditional chemical cleaner has spent itself and been flushed way). They can effectively handle a vast diversity of cleaning and waste removal tasks, (as diverse as soil and water reclamation, drain and sewage maintenance, crude oil and diesel spillage removal, janitorial, washroom, kitchen and hospital hygiene through to industrial process cleaning and car shampooing - to name but a few).”It was amazing to see how the products work” says Saskia Polhout, Housekeeping Manager at a 5 star hotel group based  in the UAE. “Some of the challenges  we had not been able to find a proper solution for yet, were dealt with adequately and showed quick results.
In the long run it will provide savings in water usage”.

Greener Cleaning – less pollution and Disposal costs
Unlike traditional cleaners, the bio-active cleaner which itself is bio-degradable turns the polluting waste and dirt into harmless water and gas which return naturally to the environment. Conventional cleaners use strong chemicals to soften and dislodge waste and grease - and by so doing simply add polluting chemicals to soiling, then attempt to flush them both into our public water systems and rivers with resulting injury to the environment

“ The Ultrashield product range is supported by the Assistant Director-General of Dubai Municipality, Department of Environment and Public Health and is encouraged by  the Emirates Environmental Group, “Cleaning naturally is a development which we welcome to the UAE due to its positive contribution to environmental protection. Families and businesses will benefit whilst making a significant contribution to a green future”.

The Ultrashield products are relevant to industrial, commercial and domestic markets.
