Tekon Discovers New And Interesting Uses For One Of Its Cleaning Products

July 14, 2011 - PRLog -- Garden Grove, Calif.   Tekon, a Southern California manufacturer of cleaning and protective coating products has found that one of its cleaning products may make a better “fit” for those that service the restaurant and other food related businesses.

As the story goes, Tony Suarez the president and CEO of Tekon ran into his long time, late night cleaning/maintenance man.  During his extended stay one evening in his office, Mr. Suarez came face to face with someone who was important to his operation but rarely had the opportunity to talk to him often over the many years of service to his business.  

That important individual turned out to be Manny Ortiz, an independent businessman who owned and operated his own “after hours” cleaning business.  Not only did he perform maintenance duties in “regular” offices he also had several restaurants on his busy nightly schedule.  On this one night of a chance meeting Manny confided in Mr. Suarez that he often found himself getting burned by the caustic chemicals he had to use to clean cooking area equipment and overhead vents that were particularly vulnerable to grease and gummy build-up.

Tekon, a noted leader in safe and green cleaning solutions was the perfect place for Manny to show up that evening because upon hearing his plight, the CEO – Mr. Suarez told him to try some of his “Super Scum Remover” on some of that nasty restaurant grease and to the pleasure of everyone, the product performed masterfully.  Mr. Ortiz followed the directions and applied the spray-on cleaner and let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes.  He then came back with a wet towel and was able to easily rinse and wipe the vents and other equipment free of grease and grime.  This time with no worry of caustic residue dripping on his arms or head.  He was also pleased that the process produced no offending odors or chemical smells.  

Mr. Ortiz also confirmed a side benefit of Super Scum Remover that the firm recently had independently tested by an outside lab.  That benefit was that users who poured proper amounts of Super Scum Remover in their drains found that the product was remarkably good at repelling cockroaches.  While not killing the unwanted pests, it created an environment that was apparently effective in making the insects “wanting to go somewhere else” which according to Mr. Suarez was “probably an even better result”.

Upon complete evaluation, Super Scum Remover is proving to provide workers with a safer product to use, empowering businesses with less liability (through its use) and allowing visitors of these commercial establishments to enjoy cleaner and more pleasant environments.


Super Scum Remover is only one product in an extensive line of cleaning and protective coating products from Tekon.  Access to more information about their products can be found on the web at http://tekon.com and to purchase any of these products online, interested parties should visit    http://buytekon.com, their online store.
