In an 18 November release, Tennant said ‘it has put its competitors on notice that it stands behind its proprietary ec-H2O technology and will defend this industry leading technology from misleading claims against its cleaning effectiveness. This announcement stems from a recent press release issued by Nilfisk-Advance, a division of NKT Holding A/S, and related statements that attempt to discredit the effectiveness of Tennant’s electrically converted water technology.’
Tennant’s statement added that, ‘Nilfisk-Advance has claimed that a study they commissioned showed Tennant Company’s ec-H2O technology on floor scrubbers worked “no better than tap water” and not as well as detergents when, in fact, the study only tested the ec-H2O technology on petroleum-based soils. Tennant does not claim that its chemical-free cleaning technology is effective on such petroleum-based soils and has consistently recommended chemical cleaning, such as Tennant FaST 965, for such applications.
Tennant has demanded that Nilfisk-Advance take immediate actions to stop the dissemination of these misleading statements.’
