New products, alternatives to road salt or rock salt, available this winter for ice melting and ice clearing of paths and driveways, screenwash and de-icer. 

Even our salt neutraliser is NEW !

Why should you use alternatives to traditional road salt ? Let me tell you why .....

With the darker nights drawing in there is nothing surer than the onset of some very wintery weather. Temperatures will plummet and our roads and paths will become hazardous to our own health if you slip and fall. Did I hear you say you have a stack of road salt at the ready just in case ? I hope not ........

 

Traditional road salt is not only messy but its corrosive. You have to be careful about tracking it into your home, via the bottoms of shoes and boots, because it's abrasive particles can damage wood flooring and carpet. Not only that but its messy to clean up and it ruins your shoes !

I'm here to tell you there are cleaner, better alternatives to road salt or rock salt !

ICE-PICK ice clearing pellets raise the temperature of the ice therefore melting ice and helping prevent re-freezing. They have been used in coldstores for a number of years now and are fantastic for paths and driveways which obviously reduces the slip hazard. If you happen to bring them in on your shoes no worries! They dry to a powder which can be vacuumed away.

Even road salt on the roads is an issue because it accelerates metal corrosion processes, which is bad news for cars ! Add in the wider environmental damage it causes, particularly to waterways and man-made structures, and it becomes clear that its widespread use as a road de-icer during the winter months is controversial to say the least.  Ever since the 1930s, road salt has been used extensively during the winter months in the UK to lower the freezing point of moisture on road surfaces, thus helping to prevent lethal ice from forming and causing existing snow and ice to melt. However, road salt is far less welcome from the point of view of motoring enthusiasts and the wider environment in terms of the long-term damage it causes to cars and man-made structures; salt deposits tend to harbour moisture and accelerate the metal corrosion process.

SALGON is a new formula salt neutraliser. It reacts with salt to stop the corrosive effects from salt residues and makes salt deposits easy to remove from surfaces and contains a long lasting corrosion inhibitor which helps protect metals against further attack.
Salgon quickly penetrates cracks and crevices where salt can build up. It removes the accumulated deposits and chemically converts the salt into a non-corrosive compound, stopping the harmful effects of salt exposure. Use on all vehicles including cars, trucks, tracked equipment and contractors plant. Buy Salgon Salt Neutraliser Now

Easy to use .... Simply remove excessive dirt and contamination before applying. Dilute Salgon with 20 parts water and apply by spray. Thoroughly wet the surface and pay particular attention to cracks and crevices and areas such as wheel arches. Allow some time to act, five minutes is usually sufficient. 
After this Salgon can simply be left to drain down and dry but best results are obtained by following with a quick rinse with clean water.

What is MRSA?

Alcohol Free Santisier

MRSA stands for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. The MRSA germ belongs to the Staphylococcus Aureus (SA) bacteria family. SA is a common germ. It lives harmlessly on the skin and in the nose of around a third of healthy people. When it does cause infection ‘ordinary’ SA is sensitive to most commonly used antibiotics. MRSA is a particular type of SA that has developed resistance to most antibiotics. Only a very few antibiotics will kill MRSA.

What causes MRSA?

SA and MRSA cause problems only when they get into breaks in the skin (wounds, cuts, sores) or into the blood stream (bacteraemia), or into normally sterile body cavities (such as the bladder). Infections are more likely, and can be particularly serious in those in vulnerable groups and those whose resistance to infection is lowered. MRSA does not generally harm healthy people, including pregnant women, children and babies.

How can MRSA pass from one person to another and how can its spread by prevented?

People may carry the MRSA germ without knowing it, and patients may have it before they are admitted to hospital. MRSA can be caught and passed on almost anywhere, not just in hospital. The MRSA bacteria is spread on hands and skin from person-to-person. MRSA can usually be treated by one of a small number of antibiotics which kill it. Other medications, such as antiseptic wash or gels are used to remove MRSA from the skin and and prevent the risk of spreading this or many other infections commonly spread by touch and infected surfaces.
