Introduction of Jim Cross
Maeda Kosen Co., Ltd., based in Minato, Tokyo, has recently unveiled its new sanitizing wipe, Jim Cross (refill type), specifically designed for gym equipment.
Background for the Launch
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, fitness centers have intensified their cleaning regimens, ensuring that all equipment is sanitized after each use. This trend continues as gyms strive to provide a safe environment for their patrons. Maeda Kosen, a long-established manufacturer of nonwoven fabrics, has leveraged its extensive experience to create Jim Cross (dry type), which has already been adopted by numerous fitness and sports gyms.
The dry type referred to the wipes that did not come with any liquid and required users to fill them with disinfectant at the time of use. However, the company has recognized the need for a more convenient option and is now launching the refill type, which comes pre-soaked with a disinfectant solution to facilitate quick and easy sanitation.
Advantages of Jim Cross Refill Type
The new refill type of Jim Cross aims to reduce the heavy maintenance duties often faced by larger gyms who experience high wipe consumption. This innovation not only provides ease of use for larger facilities but also enhances efficiency for smaller and medium-sized gyms, including 24/7 facilities that operate without trainers or staff on site.
Unique Features:
- - Easy Refill Process: Users simply cut an aluminum bag and set it inside a bucket for hassle-free setup.
- - Instant Usability: The wipes come pre-soaked, allowing immediate use.
- - Non-Alcohol Solution: This formulation is gentle enough not to oxidize training machines, treating them with care.
- - Effortless Cleanup: Effectively removes sweat, dirt, and bacteria, all while being hygienic and disposable.
- - Convenient Wipe Design: Each wipe can easily be torn by hand for quick access.
- - Manufactured in Japan: Ensuring high-quality standards.
- - Low Fiber Shedding: The nonwoven fabric minimizes the risk of leaving lint or fibers behind, providing a smooth finish.
- - Superior Durability: Engineered for high absorbency and wear-resistance, allowing extensive surface coverage with just one wipe.
