Florida Company Offers Senior Discount on Product to
Fix Slick Bathroom Floors
Falls in showers and tubs deadly to senior citizens
and Slip Care offers solution
Dec. 4, 2008 Falling is a high-risk disaster for
senior citizens, who are more than 13 times as likely to die from a fall
as are those even slightly younger in the 55 to 64 age group. There is a
new product on the market that is targeting a solution from many of these
deadly falls the ones that happen in the bathroom. And, Slip Care,
Inc. is even offering a senior discount on their Website.
Our goal is to make every bathroom safer, the
company says. It intends to do this by convincing more people to use
their non-skid coating kit called Stop It.
Stop It can be applied by practically anyone
without the need of hiring an expensive professional installer to do the
work, says marketing director, Ted Sheridan.
It has already been used in tens of thousands of
residential bathtubs and showers as well in many hotels across Europe,
which is where the product was created. SlipCare of Florida is the North
America distributor for Giorgin products from Germany.
The Home Safety Council recommends older adults
install grab bars and non-skid mats or adhesive inside showers and tubs.
Bathmats are one of the most common means used to
prevent dangerous slips and falls, however they provide a haven for
bacteria, mold, mildew and fungus, cautions the distributors of Stop It.
They are difficult to clean and because they are
constantly exposed to dirt and warm water a bathmat is the perfect
nest for all of these nice little bugs to thrive. The only fully
effective way of cleaning and disinfecting any bathmat requires either
steam cleaning or the use of strong harmful chemicals.
Non-skid adhesive strips are another popular, yet
ineffective method, used to prevent wet area accidents. These strips or
appliquιs will quickly wear off and peel free leaving behind unsightly
dirt attracting sticky messes and the removal of these strips or
appliquιs can at best be described as difficult and usually they are
destructive to the cosmetic appearance of the surface area, according to
the promoters of Stop It.
The promotion from Slip Care says Stop It replaces
the need for any of these other methods through the use of a completely
transparent anti-skid coating.
Stop It also comes with a product guarantee for
three years.
The company says the product is an ease to apply
and becomes transparent when the coating is dry in approximately 12
hours. The surface is also chemical resistant and easy to clean.
Although heavily promoted for bathroom use, the
company says it can be applied in many locations, indoors and out -
wherever there are very slippery areas.
