Far from the days of the iconic, classic green gel, which was first invented by Belper-based chemist Audley Bowdler Williamson in 1947, the Swarfega brand has grown to a range of over 40 specialist cleaning products from hand cleansers to surface cleaners, and remains as popular as ever.
Swarfega, a favourite for almost 70 years, has carefully formulated a range of products to perform to the highest standard and continues to be first choice among users.
As the winter weather closes in, Swarfega is offering customers a free branded hat every purchase made before the end of December.
The first product that was invented by AB Williamson was called ‘Deb’, a silkware protector, intended to prevent them from laddering, the mild solution was applicable for hand-washing silk stockings.
AB Williamson’s inspiration derives from the memories of motor fitters suffering from cracked skin and dermatitis through washing their hands with petrol, paraffin and sand, and so Deb was reformulated to a skin cleaner, which would remove engine oils and grease whilst leaving the skin’s natural oils intact.
Hands in an automotive environment are vital tools to get the job done and from vehicle maintenance & repair workshops, body & paint shops through to fast fit centres and vehicle breakdown services, employees in an automotive environment are exposed to a wide variety of soilings, potential irritants, temperature swings and, at times, exposed working conditions.
This can lead to visible skin problems ranging from red, sore, chapped skin through to serious instances of occupational dermatitis.
This is where the Swarfega® range of high performance hand cleansers come in, they remove all types of dirt and grime encountered in the workplace. These products have been carefully formulated to ensure they effectively do the cleaning job required and that people like and prefer to use them.
Within the cleanser range is the Swarfega® Heavy duty gel and Orange formula hand cleansers, both of which contain non-abrasive granules and added conditioner to quickly remove deeply ingrained oil and grease soilings, leaving the skin feeling smooth after use.
With Swarfega®’s heritage lying in the automotive industry the company also provides solutions for the degreasing, maintenance and cleaning of vehicles to perfectly preserve a vehicle’s appearance.
They remove damaging road grime, such as salts, which can affect the vehicles’ surface.
