Floorcare's top of the class
October 1st 2007

Brapack's Xola Hyflex is a high gloss floor seal that is maintained by simply using a cleaner or floor maintainer, meaning there's no need to strip and repolish

Campbell College was built in the 1800s, it is now a listed building and is set in a wooded campus of 100 acres, east of Belfast.The College has had a problem maintaining the floor in its prestigious main Assembly Hall, this is used by the school on a daily basis. For years the floor had been polished with spirit-waxed based cleaners – this caused many problems for the cleaning manager,Trevor Arthur. He explained to local distributor,Anachem that any contact with water or soft drinks caused the floor to turn white and although he constantly burnished the floor, it never really looked clean.

Joe Annetts from Anachem helped Trevor implement a new cleaning programme which removed the need for floor polish, stripping and repolishing. Xola Hyflex from Brapack is a high gloss floor seal that is simply maintained by using a cleaner or a floor maintainer – there is no need to coat it with a floor finish, so stripping and re-finishing are not necessary.

The floor was first stripped with Xola Stripfree, a seal and polish stripper which removed all the previous treatments including the solvent based polishes from the floor.Three coats of water-based Hyflex were then applied.

Campbell College is maintaining the floor using two of Brapack's products: Xola Supercare and Xola Solaclean.The College is pleased that the floor in its Assembly Hall now fully complements the architecture surrounding it.

"Now the floor has been restored, it has greatly improved its appearance. The maintenance costs associated with keeping it in order have been reduced," says cleaning manager Trevor Arthur.
