Panama City Classroom Makes WHOOSH!® Screen Shine An Every Day School Supply!

At Deer Point Elementary School in Panama City, Florida, teacher Will Weatherly invested in a full-proof solution to keep students healthy and classroom tablets clean. After years of teaching, Weatherly knows that dirty tablet and computer screens make for a very “germy” situation that’s unhealthy for students, teachers and families. So, he turned to WHOOSH!® Screen Shine – an all-new, non-toxic Screen Shine solution that’s proven to keep screens clean while leaving a nano-thin, invisible layer that resists dirt build-up, smudges and fingerprints.

“I depend on WHOOSH! Screen Shine to keep our classroom tablets clean and shining like new,” Weatherly said. “We use WHOOSH! twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. So far, none of my students have been sick!”

In Weatherly’s class of nine children, each student has their own Apple® iPad device along with a caddy of the usual classroom items like scissors, pens, and markers. Now, it also includes WHOOSH! Screen Shine.

“Each student has their own bottle of WHOOSH!. They spray Screen Shine onto the screen and wipe it down with the micro-fiber antimicrobial cloth,” Weatherly said. “I completely trust that WHOOSH! is safe for them to use.”

“Tech hygiene”, says Weatherly, is a growing concern as the “Bring Your Own Device” practice becomes increasingly more prevalent in K-12 classrooms. Tablets, used frequently in classrooms around the world, carry a significant amount of germs. 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.  Like washing your hands, keeping your screens and devices clean is necessary to help maintain good cleanliness and reduce the risk of cross contamination.

“Teachers swear by it, kids have fun spraying it, and parents are purchasing it. WHOOSH! does a phenomenal job taking care of the screens,” Weatherly added. “I recommend it for every classroom.”

WHOOSH! Screen Shine® is made with non-toxic, surfactants as opposed to harsh chemicals, making it entirely classroom-friendly. WHOOSH! does not contain alcohol, acids, ammonia, chlorine, petroleum distillates, phosphates or volatile organic compounds, meaning that parents and teachers need not to worry about any “uh-oh” accidents when left in the hands of students.

The solution cleans dirty screens and leaves an ultra-thin invisible coating that resists dirt build-up, smudges, and fingerprints. This ensures that screens will remain clean – an added bonus during a busy school day.

WHOOSH! Screen Shine is currently available in 3 sizes at www.whooshscreenshine.com: Pocket (.3 fluid ounce) for $5.99, Go (1 fluid ounce) for $9.99, and Duo (one 3.4 fluid ounces and one .3 fluid ounce) for $19.99.

WHOOSH! is currently available for sale in Apple retail stores, Fry’s Electronics, Adorama Camera and at many wireless stores across North America, as well as online at apple.com and Amazon.com.

WHOOSH!® Challenges CE Week 2014 Visitors To See How Dirty Their Devices Really Are!

Consumers’ most-used accessories are mobile phones and practicing good tech hygiene® with WHOOSH!® Screen Shine helps to safely keep them clean and shiny like new — while improving the user experience.

Putting its reputation directly on the line in front of the world’s toughest tech critics, WHOOSH!® Inc., developers of the most advanced non-toxic, alcohol & ammonia-free, streak-free, fingerprint-resistant screen cleaning solution, is challenging CE Week 2014 attendees to visit tabletop 133 to see just how dirty their screens are and how clean WHOOSH! Screen Shine can make them! 

According to CEO Jason Greenspan, the company will perform an ATP test on every visitor’s mobile device screen.  The test actually measures how dirty the screen is and then assigns a numeric value to the amount of dirt on the screen.  The higher the number the dirtier the screen is.

“The world is a dirty place, but our electronic devices don’t have to be,” explained Greenspan.  “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 and safe product like WHOOSH! Screen Shine. We developed WHOOSH! to show people how much cleaner and clearer their screens can be by practicing safe and effective tech hygiene that won’t damage the screen. Only WHOOSH! Screen Shine can do this, 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 it was first taken out of the box.”

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 stated that even some cleaners marketed specifically for mobile devices can damage the screen coating, which isn’t an issue with WHOOSH! Screen Shine.

WHOOSH! Screen Shine was specifically engineered to make it easy and safe to clean the screen of any device without worrying about damaging the glass, another concern that was raised in the Wall Street Journal article. The story noted that even cleaning products marketed specifically for mobile phones can damage the screen’s coating and render it unusable. WHOOSH! Screen Shine advanced proprietary formula cleans the screen without the use of alcohol, acids, ammonia, chlorine, solvents, petroleum distillates, phosphates, or VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds).

In addition to being safe, non-toxic and environmentally friendly, WHOOSH! Screen Shine is odorless, streak free, haze-free and anti-static. There’s no harmful residue left behind to transfer to your fingers to worry about. WHOOSH! Screen Shine is also a perfect solution for gamers who are looking to breeze their fingers across the screen faster for improved gameplay.

WHOOSH! Screen Shine is available at Apple stores or directly at www.whooshscreenshine.com.  For more information, please call 1-866-631-1116.
