We are proud to share the news that our client Puro Tec of Bensalem, PA has built a brand new, state-of-the-art Contents Cleaning Facility at their headquarters. For their very first job in their new facility, they used their Morantz SM-200 Super System (which consists of 4 machines; Pre-Wash, Ultrasonic Wash, Rinse and Drying stations) to clean a warehouse full of tens of thousands of gun parts and holsters damaged in a fire.
The pictures below show the job in progress, the layout for their Morantz Super System, and features a video of Patrick describing the job (sorry, the video is vertical because it was taken on an iPhone in Portrait mode. There is no problem with your player).

“When my sons joined my 30 year old janitorial company 4 years ago, I decided it was time to expand our services. I had a magazine advertisement sitting in my drawer for Morantz Ultrasonics from nearly 10 Years ago. I called Morantz, made an appointment for a demonstration and ultimately bought the 3-in-1 System.”
“I am so glad I bought from Morantz. It turns out that what I thought would be a small add-on for window blind cleaning has become a much larger part of our business. Since then, we attended a Morantz Firesonics Seminar and have added Fire Restoration to our services which has also proven to be extremely profitable and steady work. We are thrilled with our machines and the support Morantz has given us.”
We are proud to have provided the Metropolis Country Club of White Plains, New York with a pair of our Golf Club Cleaning Machines. We are even more proud of the letter they sent telling us how happy their members are with the results.

Ultrasonic Cleaner Central to Figurine Restoration: A Case Study
By Mandi Clark
As Seen in Clean, Restore, ConnectMicrowave ovens are modern conveniences we take for granted, but unfortunately, as one homeowner from Western New York recently found out, they can be very dangerous.
Rainbow International of Monroe County was called in after a woman’s home was badly burned when her microwave burst into flames and set fire to her kitchen. Smoke and soot had blanketed the interior of the 4,000 square-foot home along with thousands of figurines and dolls that the homeowner had collected.
Picture from site inspection.
According to franchise owner Bob Cobb, the homeowner had been collecting these dolls for many years and the fire damage caused her much distress.
The entire first floor of the home was gutted and the second floor had ceilings that had to come down. The rest of the home was cleaned and painted, and the dolls and figurines were meticulously cleaned primarily using a process called ultrasonics.
95% of figurines were able to be salvaged.
With ultrasonics, an ultrasonic washer is used as a cleaning device. The washer uses high-frequency sound waves to agitate in a liquid. Cavitation bubbles induced by the agitation act on contaminants adhering to substrates like metals, glass and, in this case, ceramics. The equipment effectively penetrates holes, cracks and recesses for the ultimate clean and causes no damage.

“Normally contents to be cleaned are packed out to a cleaning facility, but our four-man crew cleaned for four weeks inside the home,” added Cobb. “A no pack-out strategy was used in this situation because it reduced packing material costs and, more importantly, lessened the chance of damage to the figurines and dolls.”
With an ultrasonic cleaner, five to 20 items can be cleaned in three to four minutes, versus cleaning by hand, which can take three to five minutes per item. Ultrasonic cleaners are used to clean many different types of objects including jewelry, optical lenses, watches, dental instruments and electronic equipment.
“The heat from the fire had unfortunately cracked some of the figurines, but we were able to save 95% of them,” said Cobb. “The homeowner was very pleased with the results and with the successful cleaning and deodorization of her home.”
