Sustainable cleaning programs protect both the environment and
a building's occupants


Minimize chemical use to minimize environmental impact

At the heart of a sustainable cleaning program is the idea of "less." Advance automatic scrubbers such as the Advenger rider scrubber, require fewer chemicals and less water because they scrub floors clean in one pass.Advance's patented AXP onboard detergent dispensing system automatically calibrates solution flow to minimize cleaning solution use while maintaining cleaning performance (as mandated in LEED-EB guidelines). And because water and detergent don't combine until they reach the scrub deck, there's no wasted solution.

Sustainable practices protect facilities along with the environment.

Protecting your facility from damage means a longer useful life for hard floor surfaces, carpets and walls. For example, the new Adhancer™ One-Pass Floor Maintenance System minimizes aggressive scrubbing to lengthen not only the life of your floor finish but also the life of the flooring itself. Advance's CRI-certified carpet extractors (such as the AquaRide) and CRI-certified vacuum cleaners (such as the CarpeTwin) are proven to retain carpet appearance,increasing the carpet's useful life and reducing the environmental impact of discarded carpeting. Advance machines equipped with AXP onboard detergent dispensing also minimize housekeeping's contribution to the waste stream, by eliminating "left-over" solution that would need to be dumped.

Environmentally Preferable Purchasing

Sustainability is a significant factor in many environmentally preferable purchasing .(EPP) programs.

Environmentally Preferable Product Purchasing Policies

Multiple industries and government organizations are developing recommendations for environmentally preferable purchasing, including ANSI American National Standards Institute) and state and local governments. To see an example of an EPP program, click here.
