Recessed Dispenser Re-Do
Recessed dispenser Re-Do

If you have recessed folded towel dispensers and think roll towel dispenser installation is impossible...think again!

The amount of waste with folded towels is incredible! Their dispensers just make it easy to grab fist-fulls of towels- used or not. The towels that are not used are left to clutter the bathroom counter or dumped in the garbage.

Controlled use roll towel dispensers are more economical. They only dispense a certain length at a time. Towels are not easily pulled out or fall out on the floor like folded towels. LESS WASTE!

Roll towel dispensers also hold more towels, so there is less labor spent refilling dispensers. 

Call your Sales Rep today to talk about converting your recessed towel dispensers!

I hate to cancel our plans. I know we just made these plans a couple hours ago, but I was younger then. Full of hope. Now I am tired.

Banish Ice Melt Residue
HDi Ice Melt Floor Cleaners

In the winter, salt residue tracked into buildings can leave high-gloss floors looking dull and dingy.

If left untreated, salt granules and ice melt tracks can damage finished floors!

Easy Crème Brûlée
Creme Brulee
  • 8 shallow 4-ounce ramekins
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 3 cups (720ml) heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder (optional but recommended)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
    2. Whisk the egg yolks and 1/2 cup (100g) of granulated sugar together. Set aside. (At this point or before you temper the egg yolks in the next step, bring a small kettle or pot of water to a boil. You’ll need hot water to pour into the baking sheet for the water bath.)
    3. Heat the heavy cream, espresso powder, and salt together in a medium saucepan over medium heat. As soon as it begins to simmer, remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract. Remove about 1/2 cup of warm heavy cream and, in a slow and steady stream, whisk into the egg yolks. Keep those egg yolks moving so they don’t scramble. In a slow and steady stream, pour and whisk the egg yolk mixture into the warm heavy cream.
    4. Place ramekins in a large baking pan. If you don’t have 1 pan large enough, bake them in a couple pans. Divide custard between each ramekin, filling to the top. Carefully fill the pan with about a 1/2 inch of the hot water. The baking pan will be hot so use an oven mitt to carefully transfer the pan to the oven.
    5. Bake until the edges are set and centers are a little jiggly. The time depends on the depth of your ramekins. My ramekins are 1-inch and the custard takes 35 minutes. Begin checking them at 30 minutes. For a more accurate sign, they’re done when an instant read thermometer registers 170°F (77°C).
    6. Remove pan from the oven and, using an oven mitt, remove the ramekins from the pan. Place on a wire rack to cool for at least 1 hour. Place in the refrigerator, loosely covered, and chill for at least 4 hours and up to 2 days before topping.
    7. Using the remaining granulated sugar, sprinkle a thin layer all over the surface of the chilled custards. Caramelize the sugar with a kitchen torch and serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving. (Caramelized topping is best enjoyed right away.)

    Prevent Tracking Into Your Facility with WaterHog Matting

    Up to 70% of dust and dirt in an office building is tracked in on people's shoes. In 5 days, just 1 square yard of carpet can accumulate 1 POUND of dirt- even more in bad weather! Tracking in the snow, water and rock salt is not only messy- it's a slip and fall hazard.
    Waterhog Matting not only looks great, it holds the water and dirt in channels to prevent tracking. Check out this video for a great demonstration!

    I was out shopping for a new treadmill. I found one that I thought would suit my needs. "Can I try it out first?" I asked the clerk.
    "Sure." Replied the clerk.
    I pulled some clothes out of my bag and threw them on top of the treadmill. "Yep, I like it."

    After 9-year-old Brian lost another baby tooth, he started thinking about the Tooth Fairy. Was she real, he thought? Finally realizing the truth, he worked up the courage to ask his mother, "Mother, are you the Tooth Fairy?"
    "Yes, I am." Replied his mother, convinced he should hear the truth.
    Brian seemed to take the news well enough, but then looked at her with some confusion. "Wait- How do you get into the other children's homes?!"
