Tech Hygiene Became a Reality at CES 2015!

If there was any doubt that Tech Hygiene was one of the major story lines of CES 2015, it was put to rest today with the announcement by WHOOSH! Inc. CEO Jason Greenspan that an estimated 10,000 mobile device screens were cleaned and polished with WHOOSH! Screen Shine throughout the four-day show. 

“By any measure, CES 2015 was the most successful show in the three-year history of the company,” Greenspan said today. “Our booth was jammed every day with people who wanted to learn more about how to make Tech Hygiene a part of their lives. What’s more, we gave away thousands of WHOOSH! Screen Shine samples to show attendees to get them started practicing good Tech Hygiene.” 

According to Greenspan, the company is now finalizing delivery dates and pricing for the company’s newly expanded line of Tech Hygiene cleaning solutions, which includes WHOOSH! Wipes andWHOOSH! BLAST. “WHOOSH! Screen Shine Wipes and WHOOSH! BLAST provide additional ways for consumers to practice Tech Hygiene and keep their screens, gadgets and devices clean. Our retail partners are excited how we are revolutionizing the category and driving sales,” Greenspan emphasized.

WHOOSH! Screen Shine Wipes combine pre-treated disposable wet and dry cloths into a single serve packages that make them easy to carry and use. Consumers can safely clean, polish, and protect all of their tech and gadget devices by first using the wet Wipe cloth and then polishing it with the dry cloth. “New WHOOSH! Screen Shine Wipes deliver the same great result as our original WHOOSH! Screen Shine screen cleaner spray,” Greenspan explained. “Now it’s available in a different configuration to suit consumers who are very accustomed to regularly washing their hands with handi-wipe type products.” 

Additionally, available in a 10-ounce canister at a suggested retail price of $8.99 (USD), new WHOOSH! BLAST compressed gas duster is designed to enable consumers to maintain a more complete tech hygiene program — particularly as it applies to their notebooks and PCs, which often attract all sorts of dirt, dust, and crumbs in and around the keyboard. “New WHOOSH! BLAST has been designed to deliver a burst of compressed gas that effectively ‘blasts’ dirt, dust, and crumbs out from among the keyboard keys. Then consumers can use their WHOOSH! Screen Shine solution of choice to complete the cleaning and polishing of their device,” Greenspan emphasized. 

WHOOSH! Screen Shine is the next generation screen cleaner that is made with non-toxic and biodegradable surfactants instead of with harsh chemicals that can damage mobile devices. Leveraging the latest advancements in formula development, WHOOSH! is specifically developed to be a safe yet powerful cleaning solution that cleans both screens and devices — making them shine like new while leaving an ultra-thin invisible coating that provides a resistance to dirt build-up, smudges, and fingerprints. WHOOSH! does not contain alcohol, acids, ammonia, chlorine, petroleum distillates, phosphates or volatile organic compounds.

WHOOSH! Screen Shine is available for purchase at all North American Apple stores and at more than 2500 Walmart stores, as well as in Staples Canada, Canadian Tire, and Shoppers Drug Mart stores. WHOOSH! can also be purchased at www.whooshscreenshine.com.

WHOOSH! Screen Shine is available in a number of sizes: Duo+ (one 3.4 fluid ounces and one .3 fluid ounces) is for a suggested retail price of $19.99, Pocket (.3 fluid ounces) for $5.99 and Go (1 fluid ounce) for $9.99. All sizes come with a 6”x6” W! micro-fiber cloth. WHOOSH is also available for the commercial, industrial, and education markets.  WHOOSH! Screen Cleaner made its debut at CES 2014 where it became the only screen and device cleaner to be awarded two coveted CES Innovations Design & Engineering Awards.

WHOOSH! Makes Tech Hygiene Available to Everyone at CES 2015!

Demonstrating its commitment to making tech hygiene a priority for all mobile device users, WHOOSH! will be handing out free samples of Screen Shine at CES 2015 Booth #6116 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Maintaining personal cleanliness doesn’t end with washing our hands anymore. Research from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine at the University of London indicates that 82 percent of mobile phones have some form of bacterial contamination, making it more important than ever to keep the screens of our most frequently used devices clean.

That’s the idea behind “Good Tech Hygiene,” a new movement introduced by WHOOSH!, maker of WHOOSH! Screen Shine, the most advanced non-toxic, streak-free screen cleaning solution that keeps screens shining like new and resistant to fingerprints and smudges. It’s also the only screen cleaner that is guaranteed* to be safe for every device screen.

So how dirty are our mobile devices? In a Wall Street Journal article published last year, Dr. Jeffrey Cain, President of the American Academy of Family Physicians, said, "People are just as likely to get sick from their phones as from handles of the bathroom." The article also states that even some cleaners marketed specifically for mobile devices can damage the screen coating, which isn’t an issue with WHOOSH! Screen Shine.

According to CBC Canada, researchers at St. Joseph's Healthcare in Hamilton measured the types of organic material left behind on phones. Manager of infection control Anne Bialachowski found that anything from fecal matter to E.Coli to pathogens were present on mobile device screens. 

“Most people don’t think about how dirty their device screens get, and they also may not realize how easy it is to keep them clean with a powerful product like WHOOSH! Screen Shine,” WHOOSH! CEO Jason Greenspan said today. “We developed WHOOSH! to show people see how much cleaner and clearer their screens can be, and now it looks like the days of perpetually dirty screens are numbered. And because it creates a nano-thin protective layer that resists fingerprints and improves the screen’s smoothness, WHOOSH! Screen Shine actually makes the phone look and feel better than when you first took it out of the box.”

Leveraging the latest advancements in formula development, WHOOSH! Screen Shine was specifically developed to be a safe yet powerful cleaning solution that eliminates fingerprints, smudges, dirt, grime and makeup from any electronic device screen — leaving a clear, streak-free finish that makes the screen shine like new.

WHOOSH! Screen Shine is made with biodegradable surfactants and its proprietary formula provides a nano-thin invisible coating that also provides resistance to fingerprints and dirt buildup. Plus, WHOOSH! Screen Shine is safe and non-toxic. There’s no harmful residue left behind or transferred on to your fingers to worry about.

WHOOSH! Screen Shine Duo+ (one 3.4 fluid ounces and one .3 fluid ounces) is available at Apple.com and in Apple stores throughout North America for a suggested retail price of $19.95.  WHOOSH! Screen Shine is also available at www.whooshscreenshine.com in two other sizes: Pocket (.3 fluid ounces) for $4.99 and On-the-Go (1 fluid ounce) for $9.99. All sizes come with a 6”x6” W! micro-fiber cloth. WHOOSH is also available for the commercial, industrial, and education markets.

WHOOSH! does not contain alcohol, acids, ammonia, chlorine, solvents, petroleum distillates, phosphates, or VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds). It’s odorless, streak free, haze-free & anti-static.  WHOOSH! Screen Shine is also certified by the Sharp STAR Program to be the screen cleaner of choice for Sharp AQUOS BOARD Interactive Display Systems.

Supplies are limited. Visit WHOOSH! early at Booth #6116 to get a free sample.

Drones, 3D Printers and Next Generation Connectivity Tools Take Center Stage at Stampede's CES 2015 Booth!

Underscoring the increasing convergence of professional and consumer electronics into a single opportunity-rich marketplace, Stampede Presentation Products, Inc. is exhibiting at CES for the very first time — and they’re doing so with a bang!  At Booth #70247 in the Sands Expo and Convention Center, the industry leading supplier of ProAV solutions is demonstrating an array of next generation innovations, including drones, 3D printers, and connectivity tools that convert any power outlet in the home into an Ethernet port to create a whole-home communications network.

“As we have for nearly 20 years, Stampede always rides ahead of the herd, bringing resellers of ProAV solutions an endless series of new technologies and products that create new revenue streams for them while bringing meaningful new benefits to their customers,” said Stampede President & COO Kevin Kelly.  “At this CES, Stampede is offering CE resellers a host of new business opportunities through precedent-setting new products that will drive their businesses to new heights in 2015.”

Leading the way for Stampede at CES 2015 is an array of drones from leading manufacturers like DJI, Walkera, and AEE.  In fact, Stampede has created a “drone corral” within its booth and will be flying drones right from the show floor!  “We’re showcasing a range of drones that cover every possible consumer and professional application,” Kelly emphasized.  “No other company at this CES is demonstrating the business opportunities offered by drones the way we are.”

Next in line for Stampede is the world’s first affordably priced, ‘plug and print’ 3D printer — the Robox® from the British development company CEL— which is available for the suggested retail price of only $1,799. “The development and widespread market availability of a full featured, affordably priced 3D printer for the home market is exactly what consumers have been waiting for,” Kelly emphasized.  “By removing the price barrier, Robox is moving strategically to make the benefits of 3D printing immediately available to a large and growing consumer and commercial market.” 

Finally, Stampede is introducing the Neurona AX501 ConnectedLife Adapter, which features Powerline™ technology from Qualcomm Atheros, Inc.  “The Neurona AX501 leverages the reliability of power line technology to ensure that each home is equipped with high-fidelity broadband,” Kelly explained. “Powerline solutions use a home’s existing electrical system to share broadband, essentially turning an outlet into a connection point. Powerline solutions deliver fast and reliable Internet connection between devices. By plugging a Powerline adapter into an Internet router, and a second adapter near a TV, gaming system, computer or set-top box, you easily deliver Internet connectivity to these devices.” The Neurona AX501 enables multiple devices to connect to each other through a mutual network. By leveraging Powerline technology, the Neurona AX501 utilizes the home’s existing electronic wiring infrastructure to create a robust, whole-home communications network.

Stampede is celebrating its first ever exhibitor appearance at CES with a daily Happy Hour that will run from 4:00PM until 6:00PM each day of the show.  “We welcome forward-looking resellers to come to the booth, enjoy a cold beer, and learn more about how they can ride ahead of the herd with Stampede in 2015,” Kelly concluded.
