Win LG Harris Easyclean paint sets Around 23 million paintbrushes are bought in low price multipacks each year, and commonly thrown away after just a single use. This is equivalent to around 346 articulated truckloads, which are typically left to slowly disintegrate in landfill sites up and down the country. In order to reduce the devastating impact this practice has on the environment, Harris has developed an easy-to-clean brush and revolutionary roller cleaner, which require less water for cleaning and encourage repeated use. The EasyClean brush utilises patented Liquiflo™ design technology to separate the bristles and allow water to flow more freely, right to the base of the brush. Not only does this reduce the time taken to clean the paintbrush, it also ensures that the bristles remain usable for longer and deliver a superior painting performance. The Tight Squeeze roller cleaner simply slides over the roller sleeve and any paint which has become lodged in the fabric of the roller will literally be squeezed out. Stuart Hobbs, sales and marketing director at Harris, says: ‘Our aim is to help tackle the throwaway culture in the UK and move away from the notion of disposable equipment. The EasyClean brush and Tight Squeeze roller cleaner will, hopefully, help us to achieve this goal, and should go some way to reducing the impact that painting can have on the environment.’ For more information on EasyClean and other innovative Harris products, visit the informative website at www.lgharris.co.uk Terms & Conditions 1.
