Stingl GmbH, a company based in Germany, has developed an oil- and chemical-binding agent called Zauberwatte, which means "magic cotton wool." The product was originally created by accident but has since been adapted for use in the elevator industry. Zauberwatte quickly absorbs oil and chemicals, can be easily removed without leaving residue, and can be recycled. It is a convenient solution for cleaning oil spills in elevators and can also be used in maintenance jobs. Zauberwatte has won awards and is certified for its environmental benefits.
