Aerosol Line

Challenged by the current green initiatives for products with greener formulations but don’t want to give up on performance? Introducing Aspire™, a line of professional strength Favorable Environmental Profile (FEP) aerosols. The formulas are based on already green-approved raw materials and/or food grade materials and supported by patent pending chemistry. The advanced propellant system enables the lowest volatile organic compound (VOC) levels while still providing performance and the ease of aerosol application. The products in this line include: Glass & Surface Cleaner, Furniture Cleaner & Polish, Heavy Duty Multipurpose Cleaner, Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish, Baseboard Stripper and Dust Mop Treatment.

Towel Dispenser

Georgia-Pacific Professional seeks to provide products that are cost-effective, help facilities reach environmental sustainability goals and improve overall hygiene and image.

The enMotion^® product line of hygienic dispensing systems and towels is proven to reduce costs, improve restroom hygiene and contribute to environmental sustainability. The award-winning touchless towel dispensers have proven to reduce usage by up to 20 percent — when compared to multifold towels — which decreases the amount of paper waste sent to the landfill and typically reduces operational costs. The high-capacity systems provide continuous service that can reduce the number of maintenance visits per unit. The touchless dispenser also offers improved hygiene benefits that lower the risk of cross-contamination.

The enMotion product is part of Georgia-Pacific Professional’s Green by Design™ program, which follows the EPA’s "3 R" guidelines of reduce, reuse and recycle. The source reduction benefits may help buildings reach LEED certification and comply with environmental sustainability initiatives.

Backpack Vacuums

Budget constraints are a very real concern for facility managers. As standards for cleaning intensify along with the need to be green, companies are forced to find ways to maintain healthy work environments in the most cost-effective ways.

ProTeam backpack vacuums, such as the Super CoachVac^® HEPA, make the cleaning process more efficient and productive without adding staff. Studies show that backpack vacuums clean up to 70 percent more surface area per hour than canisters and uprights. Backpacks also clean twice as much area as uprights using about the same amount of operator energy. The ergonomics of ProTeam backpacks allow a greater range of motion for the operator, alleviating repetitive stress and fatigue that often lead to increased healthcare costs.

With a three-year warranty on parts, labor and the motor, the cost-saving benefits of ProTeam vacuums are hard to beat.

Aerosols

No cleaner, polish, paint or air freshener is easier to use with less waste than the carefully regulated aerosols from Chase Products Co. Champion Sprayon^® sprays are constantly being refined, adding efficiency and reducing unwanted ingredients, leaving you with exactly the products you need, in a ready-to-use form. No mixing. No measuring. No spills. Disinfectants that defy cross-contamination. Insecticides with injector tubes that reach bugs where they hide. Paints for quick touch-ups without brushes or buckets. Plus, directions in English and in Spanish and representational graphics on the labels so you never grab the oven cleaner, thinking it’s for windows. Easy to use, with cans of 50 percent recycled steel, and caps with minimal plastic — a simple decision.

Laundry Care

Spartan’s Clothesline Fresh Laundry line is the newest technology in professional laundry care. This line consists of 12 formulas tested to offer the most advanced laundry technology available. Clothesline Fresh products specifically target the toughest soils and stains; they tackle the most soiled fabrics, leaving them clean, bright and with a fresh fragrance. Clothesline Fresh Laundry Care products will not contribute to premature fabric wear.

Clothesline Fresh Laundry products can be used by anyone who desires quality, environmentally-preferable laundry products that excel in most types of water conditions. They contain new surfactant technology and biodegradable water softeners not found in other formulations.

Chemical Products

Capital Hotel and Hospitality Services Inc., cleans high-end hotels, restaurants and other large facilities in Maryland, Washington, D.C., and northern Virginia. One challenge that they were facing in many of their facilities was keeping grout clean in the restrooms. John Marino, owner and president, saw a demonstration of Buckeye Marauder™ and was convinced it was the product they were looking for.

“Marauder does a great job of cleaning tile and whitening grout,” Marino states.

Additionally, the company was searching for the best possible cleaner and disinfectant to use in restroom cleaning. Buckeye Terminator™ is the solution for both cleaning and disinfecting in one step.

Now they are able to clean and disinfect in one step, saving them a significant amount of time. Another benefit of Buckeye Terminator is that it has a kill claim for MRSA, a major concern in many facilities.

Vacuums

With the introduction of the new lightweight upright vacuum cleaner from Sanitaire, building contract services professionals now have two excellent choices to solve virtually all of their cleaning challenges.

The DuraLite^® by Sanitaire is the first lightweight vacuum cleaner designed specifically for the demands of commercial use. It offers powerful deep cleaning day in and day out, and weighs just over 10 pounds — thanks to magnesium components.

Tests show the DuraLite cleans up to 30 percent better than the leading competitor. It features a powerful commercial grade motor and an

extra large, clog resistant air path to eliminate clogging.

The new DuraLite joins the DuraLux^® upright. After 18 months on the job in the most demanding commercial environments, its reputation as one of the most powerful and reliable twin motor cleaners in the industry has been confirmed. Both the DuraLux and the DuraLite are CRI Green Label™ approved.

Burnishing Pad

The Blue ACE™ burnishing pad is the newest addition to our almost 30 years of making the finest floor pads in the industry. With this pad, we created a very soft, dense burnishing pad of fine synthetic fibers to deal with some of the newest finishes on the market. Blue ACE is designed for frequent burnishing with battery, electric or propane machines 1,000 rpm and above.

Backpack Vacuum

The lightweight Adgility™ XP backpack vacuum from Advance helps improve indoor air quality with four levels of filtration and an optional HEPA filter. When used with the HEPA filter, Adgility XP removes 99.97 percent of dust particles down to 3 microns. That performance has earned the Adgility XP the CRI (Carpet and Rug Institute) Seal of Approval for cleaning effectiveness.

Ergonomically designed, Adgility XP provides superior comfort because it moves fluidly with the operator and distributes the weight more evenly than traditional backpack vacuums.

Cleaning Industry Search Engine

When it comes to researching products, services and cleaning techniques online, it’s the quality of results, not the quantity that counts. CleanHound™ is the cleaning industry’s only vertical search engine — an online tool to help you quickly and easily find pertinent information on the Web to help you do your job better. Unlike Google or Yahoo!, this powerful vertical-market search engine “fetches” only industry-specific results. CleanHound searches more than 700,000 pages from leading cleaning industry Web sites. One search yields targeted results from:

• Manufacturer sites
• Association sites
• Government agency sites
