When custodial workers at the State University of New York at Geneseo went to work on August 15, 2012, custodians were dispatched to a water flood in a classroom laboratory at the schools' Integrated Science Center.

“The first tool selected to remove the water as well as clean and disinfect the floor was the Kaivac No-Touch Cleaning® systems stationed in that building,” says Laura Canfield, Facilities Services Supervisor at the University.

Like many users of Kaivac systems, Canfield says they have found a number of uses for their many Kaivac machines.  While restroom and locker room cleaning is the machines’ primary function, “we use the Kaivacs to clean bleachers, washing windows, clean floors, store rooms, building  entries and stairwells, even cleaning  walls.”

Adds Canfield, “The Kaivac machines make cleaning fast, effective, [and] efficient, and our workers love them. We’re always finding new ways use to them on the campus.”
