Free Sample! Magnetic Wiping Cloth
Get your free Aerovex Systems Magnetic Wiping Cloth during May, National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month.
May 5, 2014
2 min to read
May is the month of health! In addition to being National Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month and National Stroke Awareness month, May also is National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month. While it’s always a priority to keep your salon and station dust-free, this month is a good time to really get into the corners and make sure you’re providing as breathe-easy an environment for yourself and your clients as possible.
Exclusive to Healthy Hairdresser readers, Aerovex Systems is offering one amazing Magnetic Wiping Cloth free to every hair pro who responds to this offer. Soft, light and durable, the brand new Magnetic Wiping Cloth's microfilament fibers are five to ten times thinner than most other microfiber cloths, which makes it more efficient at trapping dirt and dust. You don’t need to spray anything; the cloth attracts the dirt. It also wipes up liquids—the unique, microfilament fabric can absorb up to 400 times its weight in liquid. Because the cloth releases no fibers, it’s appropriate for use on glass and a hairdresser’s best friend—mirrors.
“You’ll never see another cloth able to attract and hold dust like this cloth,” says Aerovex Systems President Jeff Cardarella. “It’s very soft, absorbent and high-tech. It’s reusable; the cloth can withstand hundreds of wash-and-dry cycles. Everyone who receives one wants more of them!”
Cardarella adds that salons can purchase a supply of cloths cut to any specified size and printed with the salon logo to use as an advertising premium.
Click here for your free sample, fill out the information on the form and write “Free Sample” in the comments section along with your street address so that Aerovex can send you the Magnetic Wiping Cloth sample. The offer expires 5/31/14.
