The innate qualities of Montex Forte Liquido places it as the best product on the market for the com-
plete removal of all sun creams pigments that are still putting many cleaners in trouble. The formulation
implemented by our R&D department also allows us to save a significant amount of water and steam:
in the first test, there is no need to drain the water bath, giving us the possibility to move on to the
washing phase, and saving time; in the second one, we remain in the washing phase with a preset
temperature. The innovation that has always characterised Montega® as eco-friendly, with a special
EXECUTIVE P
focus on the environmental regulations, the first fully natural industrial laundry detergents line, available
since 2017 with the challenge of continuing & pursuing a sustainable development”, concludes Morazzini.
"Following what we have considered to be the guidelines of our company since its very beginnings, over
the past few years we have been working on making the combination of quality and sustainability an
increasingly close synergy," says Marco Vaccari, the Export & Research manager of Surfchimica, a
company specialised in detergents based in Peschiera Borromeo, on the outskirts of Milan. For achiev-
ing this goal, we have been working from A to Z on the product implementation: starting with the
selected raw materials with a low environmental impact, passing through a processing methodology
that optimises water and energy consumption, and arriving to a final product packaged in recycled
material. The highest result was achieved with the NAT LINE, a range of products derived exclusively
from raw materials of vegetable origin, easily biodegradable, with no hazard statements on the label and
certified as hypoallergenic. Their high concentration enables significant water savings in the production
phase, limiting the length and extent of rinsing in the washing phase.
The appreciations obtained have pushed us to further investments in this direction by enriching the NAT
family with a specific stain remover, NAT SPOT, and a product designed for the wardrobe of our four-
legged friends, NAT PET. Another strong point is the OZOSTAR® SYSTEM, the water-washing sy-
stem with Ozone. After the ozone Is produced by the device, an internal pump generates a bubble flow
to the washing machine, allowing the ozone to dissolve in the water, enhancing its disinfectant action to
the maximum. With the ozone system it is pos- sible to work with cold water, to reduce (or eliminate
altogether) the use of chemical agents, to increase performance and prevent the dama- ge of the textile
fibres, to limit envi- ronmental impact and to improve the working environments. The ozone reduces the
detergent, water and energy consumption, reducing the costs with up to 50%, as certified by university
independent studies”.
M atteo Casella, the founder of Clean Pro, pointed out that “Clean Pro was born on a rigorous scientific
basis and on a meticulous marketing research, extended to the entire Italian territory. Finally covering a
vital market gap, the lack of a line of universal and targeted textile care products”. Detergents, fabric
softeners, accessories, Clean Pro’s offer is dedicated to the entire laundry market: from small to large
laundries, from laundry shops to industrial laundries, from launderettes to self-service laundries. A wide
range that can be tailored to the individual needs. Clean Pro is widely accredited on the market, as it
takes care about all the Italian laundries, like those textile care companies serving daily millions of
families, companies, healthcare facilities, nursing homes, hotels & restaurants in Italy (and beyond).
"Between the different products that we offer, the GREEN line is our flagship, as it has been designed
for those who are looking for a total eco-compatibility. Detergents and softeners with no chemical
surfactants in their formula (less than 1%) represent the new XXI century approach that we must take
for our own future and that of our children. We are also emphasising the DERMO line, Nickel and
Chrome Free tested, without any added fragrances, ideal for all those customers allergic to common
detergents. Furthermore, the Dermo Line products are certified by the ISPE Insitute of Skin and Prod-
uct Evaluation, under dermatological control. This is why Clean Pro takes care about the people's well-
being’’, concludes Matteo Casella. (Courtesy: Detergo, October 2022).
