Five Quick Benefits of Team Cleaning

1. Cost Savings

ProTeam backpack vacuums are the essential productivity powerhouses that make Team Cleaning so cost and time effective. With the ability to cover more than three times as fast as a comparable upright, combined with a strategic cleaning rotation, productivity goes up and costs go down.

2. Speed

Ergonomic and easy-to-use, ProTeam vacuums can cover 10,000 sq. ft. an hour when used in Team Cleaning systems, compared to the 2,857 sq. ft. an upright averages.

3. Health

The Team Cleaning arsenal is stocked with micro-fiber clothes and high-filtration ProTeam backpacks. Our Four Level Filtration eliminates dust, allergens and other microscopic pollutants down to 1 micron in size.

4. Worker Accountability

Planned routes, job cards and time schedules give both specialists and supervisors clear standards and direction. Workers are motivated because they know where to go, what to do and how much time to take. Plus, all the right tools are always on hand.

5. Adaptability.

Made for crews and buildings of all shapes and sizes, Team Cleaning can be easily adapted.

Combat Chemical Overload with Systems Cleaning

In April 2009, the Healthcare Research Collaborative issued a report, “Cleaning in Healthcare Facilities: Reducing Human Health Effects and Environmental Impacts,” that found that cleaning is often an environmental hazard rather than a help.

Why? Because the complex chemical cocktail used to combat microbes and bacteria is often associated with asthma and other respiratory illnesses. Excess product use increases occupational and environmental risks without improving infection prevention and control effectiveness.

So how can you combat the microbes, without the overload? Standardize for infection control using a systems cleaning approach like Team Cleaning, which utilizes micro-fiber and ProTeam backpack vacuums to achieve extraordinary results. With no chemicals required, ProTeam vacuums remove and eliminate 99.9 percent of dust mites, mold, bacteria, cleaning chemical residue and other allergens down to 1 micron in size. Our HEPA filtration models extend this capture rate even lower, down to .3 microns.

What is Team Cleaning?

Team Cleaning® is a flexible, efficient and cost-effective cleaning system for custodial operations. Team Cleaning applies the power of systems to reduce costs and maximize productivity. It offers solutions to the many challenges that managers face-through better deployment of labor, effective cleaning methods, improved appearance levels, and simplified training programs.

TEAM CLEANING TASKS ARE GROUPED INTO 4 DISTINCT FUNCTIONS

1) Light-Duty Specialist™ - Dusting, emptying trash, spot cleaning, etc.

2) Vacuum Specialist™ - Vacuuming carpets and hard floors

3) Restroom Specialist™ - Cleaning, sanitizing and restocking restrooms

4) Utility Specialist™ - Cleaning lobbies, spot cleaning, glass, mopping and scrubbing floors, etc.

Team Cleaning results in increased productivity, less equipment, clear-cut responsibilities, and easier supervision.

This system allows flexibility in staffing levels and in the size and complexity of the facility to which it is applied. The number of workers does not affect the Team Cleaning concept. In smaller buildings a worker may perform two or more specialists’ duties.
