Emergency Cleans<br />

and Graffiti Removal<br />

for Farmfoods<br />

The floor was “the cleanest it’s ever<br />

been” following <strong>Rainbow</strong>’s visit<br />

A web site enquiry from Farmfoods in Scotland<br />

recently resulted in some work for several of<br />

<strong>Rainbow</strong>’s Scottish branches.<br />

Following one clean of the whole store area the General<br />

Manager for Farmfoods at the Dalkeith branch commented<br />

“It’s the cleanest I’ve ever seen the floor”. Due to the<br />

excellent results achieved at that branch <strong>Rainbow</strong> was<br />

invited to tender for the cleaning and restoration services<br />

for over 100 Farmfoods stores in Scotland.<br />

This store in Greenock had a graffiti problem which was<br />

promptly eradicated by using the soda blast cleaning system<br />

“It’s the cleanest<br />

I’ve ever seen<br />

the floor”<br />

Emergency cleaning and<br />

graffiti removal are just 2<br />

of the services the food<br />

chain store have required<br />

from the Edinburgh and<br />

Greenock branches.<br />

Restored to former<br />

glory following<br />

years of neglect<br />

The builders were planning<br />

major refurbishment before<br />

selling the properties on,<br />

and instructed <strong>Rainbow</strong><br />

<strong>International</strong>’s Morecambe<br />

branch to help.<br />

When Robert Hughes Ltd bought an old Grade II listed building<br />

known as the Hornby Hotel in Lancashire, they were also taking<br />

on many years of “neglect”.<br />

The property, an adjoining Inn and 6 domestic homes had been<br />

unoccupied for years, left to the elements and were in a very poor<br />

state of repair.<br />

Because of the time the buildings had been open to the elements<br />

they were soaking wet and had to be dried in sections which totalled<br />

over 100 days of careful work to ensure the structural integrity was<br />

not compromised.<br />

The drying work had to be carefully planned in between the builders<br />

and conservationists procedures. Following the extensive drying<br />

regime <strong>Rainbow</strong> were also appointed to clean after the building<br />

work had finished, supplying a “sparkle” clean prior to the properties<br />

going onto the market.<br />

The exterior of the hotel had to be cleaned with hosepipes and soft<br />

brushes due to the very delicate nature and age of the sandstone façia<br />
