Spitfire helps battle for Britain
August 1st 2010 Omnipole's Spitfire SC Gum Removal
System has been drafted in to fight gum
pollution in railway stations across
London
Launched in May this year the Spitfire SC is said to have become
an instant hit with several Rail Network contractors tasked with
deep cleaning dozens of inner London stations in preparation
for the 2012 Olympics.The economically priced Spitfire SC dissolves
chewing and bubble gum in seconds using an environmentally
sound cleaning agent in conjunction with super heated steam.
1000s of metres of gum infested surfaces have already been
cleaned with Spitfire claiming victory on paths, platforms and
entrances in the major Rail Station clean up.
In July,Mayor of London Boris Johnson joined the battle and held a
'gum gala' in a bid to rid the capital of the sticky menace in time for
the 2012 Olympics. "Gum detritus casts an unsightly stain on our
beautiful city and scraping it off our streets is also a great drain on
taxpayers ' money.
"I want visitors in 2012 to be welcomed to a sparkling clean capital,
not be greeted by the sight of chewing gum blighted streets."
Rebecca Joinson from Keep Britain Tidy said:"It's fantastic to see
Boris Johnson leading the battle on chewing gum litter in our capital.
"Chewing gum is a major problem – not only in London but in
towns and cities right across the country."
A further 100 + Rail stations are due for the same thorough
clean up in the next year and London based Omnipole is
predicting more cleaning
successes across the UK in the
Spitfire's battle against Gum. More articles from Omnipole Systems Ltd: |
