Aqua Air
Aqua Air has been established since 1994 as the sole commercial distributor for the Rainbow Cleaning System in the UK. Our experience in providing cutting edge cleaning equipment to commercial and domestic clients led us to identify that the majority of cleaning solutions available did not match the advance performance of the Rainbow.
So in 1995 we moved to develop a range of cutting edge, environmentally friendly and cost effective cleaning products to compliment the Rainbow Cleaning System.
In development, great care has been taken to ensure that our products are affordable, bio-degradable and non-toxic with exceptional cleaning performance.
We offer our products in a range of volumes and sizes to suit any customer.
