Inquiries and comments

We receive roughly two inquiries per month from enterprises looking for solutions of special cleaning problems. We give advice by naming processes in our database or in other information systems or we refer to certain contacts. For more complex inquiries we offer a comprehensive research.

We also receive inquiries from plant and agent producers, who would like to have some of their exemplary processes put into our database. This is possible in principal, if an evaluation of the applying company is available or can be made available and if our advisory board has no objections.

Comments regarding our database or our website we receive usually during lectures, workshops or in talks with our advisory board members and other specialists. Besides many suggestions for improvement, which are put into practice whereever possible, we also receive credit for our comprehensive project approach and the presentation of innovative cleaning processes.

A major update of the database has taken place in April 2006. The website will be given a new design by the end of 2007 to make it still more user friendly.
