"The application of easy-on has allowed us to protect the train against future graffiti application, as well as ensuring the units' future appearance to the travel public is at the highest level. This is an exceptional product, and one which I would recommend to other transport operators. "

Wild In Art - Christchurch Stands Tall - The giraffes have arrived!
Urban Hygiene is proud to be a sponsor of Christchurch Stands Tall, the giraffes will be coated with easy-on protective coating and the maintenance contractor; Global Interiors will be using easy-off graffiti remover as the preferred cleaning product.
Christchurch Stand Tall is a mass appeal public art project organised by the United Kingdom organisation, Wild in Art. More than 50 giraffes, each standing 2.5 metres tall, will be painted and decorated by local artists and planted in parks, streets and open spaces. Christchurch schools will decorate another 50 baby giraffes.
Each would be sponsored, and organiser Claire Cowles said many still needed support.
Wild in Art has produced several other public displays. Liverpool has had penguins, Sydney had rhinos and Bristol hosted Gromits, from Wallace and Gromit.
Cowles said each animal was chosen for the city visited and standing tall seemed appropriate for Christchurch post-earthquakes. All 100 giraffes would be on display for 12 weeks during summer and would then be auctioned off with proceeds going to charities like Child Cancer, Life in Vacant Spaces and Gap Filler.
A trail and map would help the public to see each giraffe in place starting in November.

Easy-on | The Elephant Parade - 2011
Urban Hygiene is proud to be associated with the wonderful work carried out by all those involved with theElephant.Parade.
The Elephant parade is dedicated to the conservation of Asian Elephants through an open air art exhibition of decorated Elephant statues.
In the past 100 years populations of the Asian Elephant have depleted from around 250,000 to 25,000 – something must be done to preserve these magnificent animals.
Companies and individuals are invited to sponsor an elephant and have it painted or decorated with an exciting design and over the years that UH has been involved we’ve seen some true works of art.
The Elephant’s are displayed in city centres around the World and people are invited to come down and interact with the parade. This year thousands of people descended on Heerlen in the Netherlands to see the spectacle and have their picture taken with the brightly coloured statues.
UH are proud to supply the protective coating used to ensure the elephant parade always looks its best and keep the pachyderms photogenic.
