Kid and Pet Safe
What Does That Mean to You?
In 2007, Mr. Sandless was contacted by the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. This world renowned hospital wanted all of the benches and handrails throughout the hospital refinished. Before work could commence, CHOP had to be sure that the Mr. Sandless system was safe for the many children that get the incredible care they provide.
A team of health inspectors examined all of the solutions and finishes used in our system, read all of our technical data including the MSDS sheets, and watched us perform a sample of our unique service. We were deemed “safe for hospital use” and were able to perform our service on all levels of the hospital. The only safety feature used was caution tape! We even worked outside the operating room while delicate brain surgery was being performed. Mr. Sandless refinished all of the woodwork with not a single incident or disruption!
In 2012, five years later, and again in 2017, Mr. Sandless was back servicing Childrenās Hospital. Once again, solutions used in our service were inspected, and once again, we were deemed safe for hospital use!
Your health and safety and the health and safety of your family and pets should come as the top priority when considering wood floor refinishing. Choose wisely!
Certified Green Finishes
What Does That Mean to You?
VOC means volatile organic compoundsāchemicals that may be released as coatings dry and cure. VOC content is one factor to consider when comparing floor finishes, together with ventilation requirements, cure time, product instructions and independent testing.
The linked laboratory analysis reports VOC content below 100 g/L for the tested Mr. Sandless finish. Our finishes are designed to cure quickly and minimize lingering odor. Review the certificate and ask your local dealer for current product information and recommended ventilation.
Mr. Sandless A Totally Green System!
Traditional floor sanding can create airborne wood dust and may disturb older coatings. Limiting dust and following appropriate work practices can help reduce exposure and disruption during floor refinishing.
Many finishes that can be used in refinishing have cancer causing ingredients.
On top of all this, there is a fire hazard from traditional sanding. Just recently, a home burned down due to simple sanding refinishing.
Because Mr. Sandless refinishes without traditional sanding, the process avoids the heavy sanding step and is designed to reduce airborne dust and disruption. Ask your local dealer about the products and precautions appropriate for your project. With the incredible results we get, there is no better way to refinish your floors! Give us a call today!
