New IDEAL-Wipes(TM) Multi-Purpose Towels Tackle Toughest Contractor Clean-Up Jobs



SYCAMORE, IL, June 19, 2008 - To help professional contractors extend the service life of their valuable hand tools, IDEAL has introduced new IDEAL-Wipes(TM) multi-purpose towels. Packaged in a re-closable, moisture-retaining dispenser, these 82 extra-large (12" x 9") disposable wipes do not require water to activate their powerful cleaning solution, making them the perfect wipe for in the field or in the shop.

"Contractors maximize their tool investment by using IDEAL-Wipes," explained Bruce Hartranft, Business Unit Manager, IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC. "Even it the contractor is not close to a sink or water, they'll be able to bring their tools back to 'new' condition in one step, while preventing rust, grime build-up and corrosion from destroying the tool's usefulness and value."

IDEAL-Wipes clean tools of deeply embedded dirt, grease, grime or lube, yet are safe to use on hands. Infused with Vitamin E and natural moisturizers, the wipes prevent skin from chapping, cracking or drying. Plus, the orange scented wipes will not leave an unpleasant solvent odor on the skin like other cleaning agents.

IDEAL-Wipes have two unique sides - a non-scratching, textured side for scrubbing tools and hands, and a smooth wiping side for delicate surfaces. Heavy-duty fabric assures no tearing or shredding.

TOOL-SAVING TIPS

In addition to using IDEAL-Wipes, Hartranft suggests the following techniques to increase hand tool service life:

o A drop of oil at a tool's hinge will extend its life and assure easier operation. Do not allow oil to get onto the handles as it causes a slipping hazard.

o Store tools in a dry, secure location where they won't be tampered with or exposed to the elements. If you are storing them in a damp basement, install a dehumidifier.

o Place tools in individual pockets in a tool tote rather than together where they can be nicked, scratched or broken.

o If possible, hang tools with cutting edges to keep them from getting dulled by contact with other tools.

o Never use pliers, screwdrivers or other tools as a substitute for a hammer.
