Sani-Shield

The newly patented Sani-Shield and Sani-Scrub surface care products simultaneously clean, shield and protect surfaces.

Their organosilane quaternary technology prevents surfaces from being re-contaminated between cleanings. Unelko Corp. has a surface protection plan to support their use. The products are non-toxic and VOC free and are also earth and user safe.
