E-cloths clean all hard surfaces using JUST WATER. They remove thick grease, dirt and bacteria without the use of ANY chemicals, so offering exceptional cleaning without the risk of potential damage to modern surfaces by exposure to harsh cleaning products.

How E-cloths work

Millions of revolutionary fibres clean by breaking up, trapping and absorbing grease and dirt into the cloth. There are an amazing 480,000 fibre strands per cm2 of cloth. Each strand draws in dirt by capillary action and this combined with the unique wedge shape of each individual fibre gives the cloth its remarkable cleaning capability.

E-cloth benefits:

• Reduced the use of household chemicals by up to 90%.
• No spraying on and wiping off of chemicals means cleaning with E-cloths is much quicker and easier
• Surfaces are left free of chemical residue.
• With no chemicals to buy and a 300 wash guarantee, E-cloths save you money.
• Because there is no exposure to chemicals, E-cloths have been awarded a consumer award by Allergy UK.
• The Good Housekeeping Institute voted E-cloth “Best Green Product” in December 2007. They said “The E-cloth cleaning system shows you needn’t sacrifice performance to be green”.

The UK has the oldest housing stock in Europe. A significant portion has already been around for over 100 years and may still be around in 2108! So it’s vitally important that it is maintained to the highest standards and operating as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Also there are 700,000 or more redundant premises throughout the UK which could be adapted and modernised to help provide the urgent accommodation needed to meet our increasing population’s serious housing requirements.

The National Home Improvement Council’s mission is to encourage a vibrant modernisation and renovation market in the private and social housing sectors to improve the UK’s housing stock, especially taking into consideration energy efficiency and water conservation, and the business opportunities of its members.

Launched soon after the 1974 Housing Act, the NHIC continues to provide a unique platform as the “voice” of the home improvement industry and, in conjunction with its President, The Rt Hon Mr Nick Raynsford MP and its many other influential contacts and activities, maintains a close liaison with Government, local authorities, housing associations and private landlords. 

The Government estimates that around £40bn still needs spending on raising social housing standards and 5.2m “non decent” private sector homes need urgent attention. So the task is immense!
