Once again, Sparkle Services has taken a lead in the commercial cleaning industry. Just as we were among the first companies in the nation to employ the use of backpack vacuums, we are now taking the lead in utilizing Activeion Cleaning Solutions’ Ionator, a revolutionary appliance that converts ordinary tap water into a safe, effective cleaner and sanitizer. With just a six-second spray time, the Ionator has the ability to kill the H1N1 virus, as well as 99.9% of harmful bacteria. We are very excited about this new product, which is in keeping with our commitment to GREEN cleaning.

March 2009

We use the Activeion Sprayer
Activeion can replace up to 47 of today's general purpose cleaners. The Activeion sprayer transforms tap water into a powerful cleaner by appling a slight electrical charge to the tap water. Then the activated water now attracts dirt like a magnet and lifts it from the surface enabling it to be easily wiped away. The activated water turns back to its natural state after 30-45 seconds.
  Safe, Inexpensive & Green!

Jeff & Sean Attended the NFMT Conference
On March 11th and 12th Jeff and Sean attended the annual NFMT Conference/Expo in Balitmore, MD. They spent several hours attending classes that gave them greater knowledge of the facility repair and maintenance industry. They learned of many new products in the industry, by visiting over 500 booths that will be more cost efficient to our customers and make us even more proficient. It was a great experience and a great asset to our company.
