Reducing Cleaning Time from Three Days to Three Hours

On a regular basis, a kitchen grill in a Ohio college had to be removed to allow custodial workers to clean the tile and floor behind it.

This typically was a pretty nasty job and could take one worker as long as three days to complete.

Looking for ways to do the job faster, more thoroughly, and safely, the custodial manager found a way to do it without touching—using a No-Touch Cleaning® System developed by Kaivac.

The No-Touch system can be compared to an indoor pressure washer. Chemicals are applied to surface areas to be cleaned. Then the same areas are rinsed, literally blasting away grime and soil. Finally, solution and soil are vacuumed up, leaving the areas ready for use almost immediately.

'We were amazed at how effective it was,' says the manager. 'The tiles came out fantastic and in only three hours; that was unbelievable.'
