When we established the Janitor University Philosophy
of Cleaning, one of the guiding principles was
“Clean for health first, then appearance.”
Of course Cleaning for Health requires the proper chemicals,
equipment and machines, but more important is the system
that is utilized within the cleaning operation. The system, or
process, must assure that the facility is properly detail cleaned
on a scheduled basis and it must assure that cleaning, rather
than polluting, is the result of the cleaning worker activities
in the facility.
Cleaning or Polluting?

when it comes to health and cleaning.
Cleaning for appearance removes “big” visible soil
rather than cleaning for health that removes “small” invisible
bacteria, dust and airborne particulates and other micro,
bio and chemical contaminates – largely the contributors
to unhealthy indoor environments.
Poor cleaning procedures, equipment and habits
can inhibit the effective cleaning of buildings.

ProTeam vacuums capture soil and safely contain harmful particles,
as well as prevent them from being reintroduced back into the
environment. The improved air quality is the result of ProTeam vacuums’
unique Four Level

Filtration system. This system captures tiny dust
mites, bacteria, and other particles – which can cause unhealthy air.
