IBS Scherer releases Sustainable cleaning solution for gondolas, bubbles and cable cars
03/June/2026
In cable car and mountain railway operations, the demands on sustainable cleaning concepts are constantly increasing. Besides a well-maintained appearance of the facilities, issues such as environmental compatibility, occupational safety, and the reduction of hazardous substances are now particularly important.
With the label-free IBS special cleaner WAS 30.200, operators have access to a modern cleaning solution that was specially developed for the regular external cleaning of gondola bodies, plexiglass windows and painted surfaces – powerful in application and at the same time tailored to the requirements of sensitive alpine operating areas.
The excellent foam adhesion ensures intensive and even cleaning, even on vertical surfaces. Dirt from weathering, dust, insects, or operational residues can be efficiently removed without damaging sensitive surfaces.
Especially with modern panoramic gondolas and so-called "bubble" gondolas, streak-free cleanliness, material compatibility, and long-lasting surface protection play a crucial role. This is precisely where the WAS 30.200 from IBS Scherer excels , offering gentle cleaning action and an additional shine and beading effect that significantly reduces resoiling.
The cleaner's high level of practicality is also evident in its application: The WAS 30.200 is optimally designed for all conventional high-pressure cleaning devices and is ideally suited for pre-spraying . It is particularly effective in washing areas and wash bays of cable car and gondola systems. At the same time, excellent cleaning results are also achieved using traditional mopping methods.
Particularly relevant for operators and workshops:
The WAS 30.200 is label-free and thus actively supports the substitution of hazardous substances in daily work processes. Employees benefit from safe application without traditional hazardous substance labeling – an important contribution to occupational safety, ease of use, and modern safety standards in the workplace.
The cleaner also meets key industry requirements in terms of sustainability. Its formulation is ÖNORM-certified , listed with the Salzburg state government , and based on an environmentally friendly formula without phosphates or phosphonates . This makes the product particularly suitable for companies that rely on sustainable cleaning and maintenance solutions in accordance with regional regulations.
