pHerfect – Ice Melt Removal for Hard-Surface Floors

The winter poses many different situations than any other season. One major problem is the removal of ice melt and rock salt on hard-surface floors. Without the adequate amount of matting to hide, hold, trap and store these two compounds, floors will generally have a “white-haze”. This “white-haze” is caused from ice melt or rock salt being tracked into a facility and melting onto a hard-surface floor. Without proper removal, a few problems can occur: your floors will have an unclean look, serious damage to the floor’s finish if removed improperly, and most importantly – slip/fall hazard.

The best solution for this problem is to have a plan in place, which includes using the proper cleaning solution!

Betco makes a product called pHerfect. This product penetrates these “white-haze” spots, cleaning and neutralizing floors in one step! pHerfect is a neutral floor cleaner so it will not affect the finish on your floors. Using pHerfect daily will ensure your floors will look healthy and shiny in high trafficked areas during these long winter months.

Ask your RMS sale’s representative today about pHerfect! Let us help you find the correct cleaning solution for your facility!

As of January 19, 2015, Kevin Wilcox has had his position changed within Riley Maintenance Systems.  Kevin will now be working inside the office of RMS.  He will be in charge of the logistics of the warehouse and of the service department, as well as being a part of inside sales and customer relations.

It’s time to talk about everyone’s favorite product…

None of us want to think of the winter time, but because of the ice melter shortage situation last year, we really have to speak about it earlier.  This year, we have 3 products up for sale, all of which we have carried for years: SSS Select Blend, SSS Ice Melter with MG104 and SSS Commercial Blend.  Please call our office at (607) 786-3766 or speak with a representative today to get preseason pricing on ice melter!  There is a discount on the product now as we are very early in the season and even more of a discount based on volume!

Here is new product literature on the SSS Ice Melter offerings!

Paul Merrick

It is with deep regret that RMS announces the passing of Paul Merrick on April 17, 2014. We have lost a dear friend and valued colleague.  Each of us not only grieves at the passing of a tremendous individual, but also for the loss his family suffers.  Paul will be sorely missed and fondly remembered by his RMS family for all of the good times and all he has done for RMS over the years.  He was a mentor, friend, coworker and last but certainly not least, a man who seldom encountered an industry machine that he could not repair.  He even designed a correction to a major flaw in a machine design that affected its durability, which was adapted by the manufacturer.  We will miss him greatly, but are very thankful to have had the privilege to work with and know him.
