Yes, we offer free on-site training on products, dilution, equipment demos, setup and onboarding support to ensure consistent cleaning across your facility.
Follow the cleaning guide’s all-in-one cleaner/degreaser approach so one product covers multiple applications—simplifying training and inventory.
Seal floors with Foundation—an odourless, UL-Certified sealer that simplifies cleanup and reduces airborne dust; it provides durable, permanent protection and is APE-free.
Dustbane Sweeping Compound prevents and reduces airborne particles during sweeping, making dust removal easier.
Install the EnviroFlex Proportioning System—it delivers accurate dilution, reduces waste/cost, and eliminates contact with concentrate for safer handling.
Auto-scrubbers such as the Hurricane 450 XTT clean floors quickly and quietly, minimizing downtime and custodial strain.

Yes, several Dustbane products support facilities with strict IAQ (indoor air quality). Azure (no VOCs/ammonia), Foundation (odourless), and Quat Plus (Disinfectant with no harsh chemical smell) are all highlighted as low-odour choices for scent-sensitive areas.
Yes. According to Health Canada, most disinfectants are effective against COVID-1. For best results, you must clean the surface first and then use a disinfectant with a DIN (Drug Identification Number). All Dustbane disinfectants have a DIN. Some also have data supporting effectiveness specifically against COVID-19.
Disinfectant surface dwell time depends on how frequently the surface is touched. Based on our Enhanced Cleaning Practices guide:
- Low Risk: Clean on a regular schedule and as needed (e.g., after spills).
- Moderate Risk: Clean and disinfect at least once daily.
- High Risk: Clean and disinfect after each use or at least twice daily.
PPE is always recommended when handling chemical products. Always refer to the product label or Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for specific PPE requirements.
Don’t panic! Here’s how to get the coffee stains out:
- Blot the area with a clean white towel to absorb excess liquid.
- Rinse the towel with clean water.
- Spray diluted spotter on the stain (e.g. Dustbane’s Oxy D.S.T.)
- Gently agitate toward the center of the stain and let it dwell.
- Blot again to remove residue—do not rub!
- Rinse with clean water and blot to dry.
