The Ha-Ra Story
Ha-Ra comes from the name of the pioneer and inventor of fiber based cleaning technology Hans Raab. From childhood, Hans was a very independent person who wanted to make his own way in the world. He established a commercial cleaning business and very quickly, using commitment and technical know-how, Hans Raab developed a very competitive business that provided jobs for more than 100 people.
Hans Raab soon became aware of health problems among his employees, which he traced back to the daily use of cleaning agents. Around this time, he recalled reading an article about native African tribes and their effective and environmentally friendly cleaning methods.
Hans Raab knew that our society would not accept cleaning methods using sand, mud and water, and therefore other methods had to be developed.
After years of research, Hans Raab developed a method for producing cleaning fibers, which are effective using water only. During the cleaning process, millions of extremely fine special fibers loosen even the most stubborn dirt and greasy particles, which are then bound together by fiber and water.
This pioneering invention led to the beginning of a tremendous success story, and these fibers are still so unique that he was able to successfully apply for over 170 different patents, making it difficult for competitors to come up with viable alternatives.
At the 1982 inventors fair in Basel (Switzerland), Hans Raab presented a window cleaner consisting of these fibers, and was awarded a gold medal for his invention.
In 1984, Hans Raab set a world record cleaning an area of more than 6,800 square feet of windows at the Hilton Hotel in Basel in two hours, 54 minutes.
