There are three things we can control for a facility using the Green Microfiber Program.

They are: Environment, Healthy Living & Cost

Reduce chemical usage and water consumption

Use less chemical by utilizing the Pre-treated cleaning process

Use less water reducing environmental conservation concerns

Increasing cleaning effectiveness

Improve air quaility by picking up and removing microscopic particles

High performance cleaning fabrics remove bacteria.

Prevent Cross Contamination

A touch-free system prevents handling of soiled mops

A Color Coded Process ensures proper compliance

3-Dimensional cleaning provides healthier facilities

Ergonomic enhancement

Reduce employee injuries by eliminating the use of conventional buckets and wringers

No lifting heavy buckets full of water and chemicals

Whether for cleaning, disinfecting, degreasing, or spotting, Kaivac provides an effective chemical choice for every task. Each is designed to attack specific soils inherent in various settings, like restrooms, kitchens, manufacturing, healthcare, schools, and more.

Developed specifically for No-Touch Cleaning, these high quality chemicals are low foaming and free rinsing for fast, spot-free drying. Plus, they have all been certified by Green Seal to be extremely effective at cleaning without harming the environment.

KaiO combines orange oil with hydrogen peroxide to make an environmentally-friendly, multipurpose pH neutral cleaner

KaiPow is a general purpose degreaser that rapidly penetrates oils, greases, fats, and soils.

KaiBlooey is a low-foaming restroom cleaner that contains a blend of fast-acting mild acids to de-scale mineral deposits and remove soap scum.

100% of our Polyester Fiber Comes From Post Consumer and Industrial
Recycled Waste All of the synthetic (polyester) fiber used in our
floor, hand and utility pads comes from recycled materials.

Primary sources of these materials are recycled soda and water bottles.
Water Based Latex Resins No phenol-formaldehyde resins are used in our
binding process. We only use water-based latex resins.

Recycled Packaging All of our shipping cartons contain at least 45%
recycled materials. New State-of-the-Art Equipment We’ve installed new multi-million dollar state-of-the-art equipment, increasing our energy efficiency by more than 30%.

Waste Water Reduction Our in-house water treatment facility has
reduced our waste water flow by 83%. Clean Air Permit Our manufacturing plant is operating under an EPA approved Clean Air Permit.

Tough standards for soil removal and indoor air quality

CRI combines the indoor air quality protection of its Green Label vacuum program with enhanced cleaning standards of its Seal of Approval programs to identify even better performing vacuum cleaners than the previous program. Under the Seal of Approval/Green Label vacuum program, manufacturers must meet higher performance standards and are rewarded with Gold, Silver or Bronze ratings. This program tests two general categories of vacuums:

• General-purpose vacuums approved for use on all conventional carpet styles
• Vacuums specifically approved for use on carpet with a low pile, or surface texture, measuring approximately a quarter inch or less

To earn the CRI Seal of Approval/Green Label certification, vacuums must pass the following independent laboratory tests:
Soil Removal

CRI uses NASA-enhanced x-ray fluorescence technology instead of traditional gravimetrix testing to measure the precise amount of soil removed from carpet … either 30 oz/sy commercial cut pile carpet or 30 oz/sy loop pile carpet.
Dust Containment

The vacuum must not release more than 100 micrograms of dust particles per cubic meter of air, keeping dirt and dust locked tight in the vacuum — not escaping back into the air where it can be breathed.
Carpet Fiber Retention

The vacuum must not affect the texture of the commercial cut pile carpet (900 passes with sample rotated every 50 passes) more than a one-step change based on one year of normal vacuum use.

Vacuum your way to cleaner carpet and cleaner air

High-performance vacuum cleaners have a significant impact on improved indoor air quality (IAQ). At the same time, vacuums that effectively remove and contain soil while keeping the carpet looking good will help carpet last longer. Ultimately, better performing vacuums provide a greater return on your investment and ensure a healthier indoor environment.
