GREENSBORO, N.C. – STOKO® Professional Skin Care, a leader in the away-from-home skin care/hand hygiene market, is proud to launch its newest product, KRESTO® Cherry KWIK-WIPES®.

An advanced formula, cherry fragrance and a dual-sided scrubbing surface are the features which set KRESTO® Cherry KWIK-WIPES® apart in the market and from its older brother, KRESTO® KWIK-WIPES®. All together, the added features of the new towel effectively remove the toughest dirt, grease, grime and more difficult sealants and paints. KRESTO® Cherry KWIK-WIPES® are perfect for use on hands and hard surfaces and are convenient for quick clean-ups away from sinks, in the garage or in the pits.

"Our formula is tough on grease and grime, but is easy on your hands," comments Ron Shuster, product line director for STOKO®. "We also took the extra step to ensure the formula is compliant with the new California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations, which many wipes on the market can’t claim."

The product’s fragrance also differentiates KRESTO® Cherry KWIK- WIPES® from other standard wipes. 

"The cherry scent offers a huge benefit for those who work hard or handle petroleum-based products," explains Lori Huffman, senior marketing manager for STOKO® in North America. "The cherry fragrance neutralizes the heavy odor from petroleum products that are left on hands even after washing. KRESTO® Cherry KWIK-WIPES® will leave hands fresh and clean."

The introduction of KRESTO® Cherry KWIK-WIPES® will also showcase the new "four waves" logo and package re-design developed under the STOKO® re-branding initiative. The new canister design will also include application tips and ingredient information to facilitate product selection and use. Canisters will hold 70 large 10” x 12” towels.
