  • Vitrex, a quality brand of QEP, has launched the Pro Trowel Cleaner, helping professionals to keep their trowels in top condition after a day’s tiling. The PTC001 Vitrex Xtreme Pro Series Pro Trowel Cleaner is designed to clean trowels and other thin bladed tools thanks to its dual function.  An integrated scraper on both sides of its sturdy ABS plastic construction has been designed to maximise removal of excess adhesive, while the stiff nylon scraper bristles agitate any material and leave trowels looking shiny and ready to use again. With sharp edges contained within the unit during use, reducing the chance of annoying and painful nicks and cuts. Tom Connelly, Vitrex Category Manager, says, “There’s no doubt that spreading tile adhesive is a messy business and so we wanted to develop a solution that helps professionals to protect their investment in quality tools like our new Xtreme Pro Series Cork Handle Trowel. The Pro Trowel Cleaner takes the hassle out of cleaning off your trowels, ensuring you start every job with a gleaming, ready to go trowel that shows you care about the quality of your work.”
