The prod- uct, named “Advanced White”, is said to reduce bacteria, clean surfaces, dissolve stains and protect against further stains. The fluoride in the product is also said to remineralise the teeth. The product is suitable for users aged over 12 years. To comple- ment its name it is packaged in a white-tinted 500ml PET bottle with a distinct waist typical of the market. The childproof press- and-turn closure is secured by means of a shrink label prior to initial removal. www.listerine.de Protective foam furniture care Under its own label Zekol, the German discounter Aldi has been offering a furniture mousse for treat- ing a wide range of furniture sur- faces –including untreated wooden surfaces. It is packaged in a 200ml white-tinted bottle. A pump dispenser on the bottle transforms the product into foam on discharge. A protective cap prevents any accidental activa- tion during transport and storage. www.aldi-sued.de Triple top-up Marketed exclusively via Walmart in the USA, the American company CleanPath now offers a concentrate with an interesting top up system. It features a docking station inte- grated in the base sec- tion of a reusable PET bottle into which a con- tainer with concentrate is screwed. Following removal of a membrane, inverting the bottle and exerting pressure on the container, a dispens- ing chamber is filled with concentrate. Once the pack has been put back on its base so that it is standing upright the pump dispenser is unscrewed and the container topped up with cold water as far as the mark. Pressure on the pump dispenser will now dispense a hand-washing foam. The amount of concentrate is sufficient for a triple infill of liquid soap. Replacement concentrate containers can be bought individually and screwed into the base. www.mycleanpath.com Slim bottle for scouring agent 500ml of lemon scouring agent for cleaning the bathroom and kitchen is being bottled by Erdal Rex, the German specialist in bio-degradable cleaning materi- als, in a tall slim PET bottle under the brand name of “Frosch”. The reduced-weight bottle, manufac- tured partly from recycled mate- rial, is designed to be easy to grasp and hold with one part of the surface reminiscent of lemon peel. The product is released via a screw-on hinged lid with a dispensing opening. The product’s cleaning power is derived from the effect of micro-fine marble powder, grease-dissolving sur- factants extracted from rapeseed and the grease-dissolving power of lemon. www.frosch.de
