Customers' opinions

I really feel that dust and hair are removed!

It firmly adsorbs dust and hair blown away by the air. Dust catcher is a sheet with a color that makes dirt stand out, and I really feel that it is removing dirt!

It can be used for a long time and requires no maintenance costs!

Disposable sheets had to be purchased frequently, but the Dust catcher has been in use for over a year since it was installed without any problems. Even if it gets dirty, you can just wash it with water to restore its adhesive power, so there are no maintenance costs and it helps reduce costs!

Easy to manage and easy to paste and peel off!

The dust catcher can be installed on the wall of the air shower without using double-sided tape, and it is easy to paste and peel-off! It is also helpful that no glue residue remains on the wall after peeling it off. It is very convenient because you can cut it to the size you like with scissors!

The amount of waste has been reduced!

Disposable adhesive sheets generate a lot of waste, and I was worried that the foreign matter that were removed would fall off every time I peeled them off. I believe that the dust catcher is contributing to the SDGs because it can be used repeatedly by washing with water and does not generate any garbage!
