Aristocare Smart
A POWERFUL ALL-ROUNDER
FOR HARD SURFACE ­CLEANERS

Aristocare Smart makes the cleaning of hydrophilic surfaces

like ceramics, glass, and stainless steel a lot smarter. By pro­
­­ viding
a protective film, the surface becomes smoother and the sticking
of soil and water droplets is prevented. Consequently, soils can
­easily be removed during the next cleaning. Water drains more
quickly from the smoothed surface resulting in s­ potless d ­ rying
without lime scale build-up.
Furthermore, Aristocare Smart supports homogeneous ­cleaner
­distribution leading to the regular reflection of light. This
­guarantees a more brilliant and streak-free surface, which stays
cleaner for longer.

Soils like soap scum and lime scale in the bathroom are e­ ither
