Weedingtech Foamstream and Covid-19

Foamstream is the leading herbicide-free alternative used around the world for effective weed, moss and algae control. It is also multi-functional and is used across departments as a biocide and cleaning solution for sanitisation, gum removal and power washing.

Weedingtech/Foamstream has issued a statement regarding Covid-19 assuring clients, colleagues and partners in the Americas, Europe and Australasia of full support through what is likely to be a very difficult few months. During this time the company will keep everyone up to date with all activity regarding Foamstream and staff will be available to assist with queries and requirements.

“As a working practice, Weedingtech is following the guidance we are being provided by the UK and respective governments.” Says CEO Leo de Montaignac. “Whilst the UK has been put in lockdown we are keeping a skeleton crew in the warehouses to maintain essential operations. We expect controls on movement to continue to increase in the coming days and weeks. Our staff welfare is paramount to us. We will do all we can to support them and their families at this time while remaining committed to supporting our clients to the best of our ability.”

Weedingtech point out Foamstream Deep Clean and Sanitisation has been approved for use as a biocide by the EU and the EPA. Independent lab studies the company has commissioned show Foamstream to have a highly powerful viricidal effect at controlling potentially life-threatening viruses like Hepatitis C. Although they don’t yet have any conclusive testing concerning Coronavirus (Covid-19) it is planned and they are confident that the principle of applying extreme heat to the virus will help reduce its transmission in outside spaces such as bus stops, hospital congregation areas e.g. car parks, smoking areas etc; supermarket car parks and parking machines, public space furniture, playgrounds and public exercise and sports facilities. The virus, it understood, can survive on street furniture for up to nine days. Many of their customers, they say, are asking if Foamstream can be used in these areas and the answer given is yes. They recommend using it daily because it is believed it can help reduce the transmission of viruses. There are Foamstream units across the world which can be part of the solution.

With people based at home and unable to travel, the company is working to create a virtual demo with the option to book allotted times with a local sales representative. Clients can call in, watch the virtual demo and have answers to any questions. This means anyone can still have a Foamstream demo during this difficult time, wherever they are based. The company will announce when this is up and running and demos can be booked. Weedingtech has also created several simple videos that will provide a temporary substitute for training purposes and these will be available online. Weedingtech staff will be available for all client queries as usual whatever the time zone.

“At Weedingtech, we have a strong team and a strong ethos.” Says Leo. “We are always here for our customers and partners as we will continue to be through this challenging time.”
