AN INTRODUCTION TO GREEN CLEANING

Did you know that the EPA estimates that indoor air
pollution is one of the top 5 environmental risks to the
public and that the air inside a facility may be more than
twice as polluted as the outdoor air?

The patients in your facility may have compromised
immune systems and be even more vulnerable to
environmental issues than the general public. But,
hospitals operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week
and your ability to isolate patients and staff from the
environmental health impacts of cleaning is virtually
impossible.

The need for a Green Cleaning program is real and
is a challenge facing health care administrators and
maintenance professionals across the country. Green
Cleaning can be simply defined as cleaning to protect
health without harming the environment. You need
vacuums that remove contaminants without releasing
fine particulates back into the air. At the same time, you
need the flexibility to clean around occupants with
minimal disruption.

ProTeam’s vacuums are lightweight, powerful, and less
disruptive than typical vacuums. They are comfortable
to wear, easy to use, and with ProTeam’s exclusive Four
Level® Filtration, more effective at picking up and
retaining soil and harmful particles. The impact on air
quality will be readily apparent.

Your ProTeam distributor has the facts about the impact
of cleaning on patient and staff health. They also have
the information you need to evaluate a Cleaning For
Health® program in your facility.

“We replaced dust mops with ProTeam LineVacer backpack

vacuums in the shipping area of a medical catheter

factory. Air quality conditions improved so much that

the catheter tube rejection rate of 10 percent (from

airborne contamination) was reduced to 4 percent.”

ProTeam vacuums qualify for accreditation

under the LEED Green Building Rating System

developed by the US Green Building Council.
