Title: Altro before after
Post by: cannon on November 22, 2011, 08:44:50 pm
Hi all

Does anyone have some decent altro before/after pics i could use? These are not for leaflets website or anything.

Whilst at the local shopping area I noticed how filthy minging the toilet areas and corridors were, well ive noticed everytime ive visited but never acted on it  :-[

So today I knocked on the offices and spoke to the lads who clean it and they were telling me how they cant do anything with it, well I can I said  ;)

Ive cleaned altro before but dont have any pics, what i want to do is drop my details in with a nice before/after shot to seal the deal as it were and make sure the manager rings  ;D

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Why don't you offer a free demo area, just a couple of square metres.

Actions speak louder than words.

It will also give you the opportunity to ascertain and therefore qualify any discolouration should it exist prior to beginning work. This is caused by oil based cleaners, pine/lemon gel in particular. They have more than likely tried everything on them apart from dwell and machine scrubbing. Just mopping with anything they can fit in a bucket.

What chemical do you use? Manufacturer says just plain water!

Hi
I have some pictures of cleaning altro before and after.We thought it would be a huge market and although we do clean quite a lot it has  never really taken off -i thought the huge amount of it around and its high replacement cost it would be a certain winner.
Even built a website purely to try and catch that market!!
What we have got are loads of pictures of what we have cleaned which you are welcome to use.
If you give me a ring i can send them to you tomorrow.

Altro recommend their own products and Prochem Alkleen, Ultrapac Renovate and QMT for shower/wet areas for body fat and limescale removal.

We have had amazing success with a mono rotary fitted with a soft to medium brush and Aqua Mix Heavy Duty Tile & Grout Cleaner pH14.  No one seems to realise that mops just travel straight over the top of altro and the riven area is just left full of dirt.  It is exactly the same with the riven porcelain.  Mop & Bucket is a waste of time.  Scrubber Drier or Rotary
