Create Healthier, Safer Schools While Saving Time and Money

Hallways, corridors, and entrances are busy, handling a lot of foot traffic every day. All this activity tracks grime, grit, and moisture into your buildings. Even with a comprehensive walk-off matt system, these dirty little messes add up, staining materials and scratching finishes. Tight maintenance budgets or lack of staff may force you to defer daily cleaning, but that strategy quickly leads to dull, dingy-looking floors that get harder and more costly to service over time. Kaivac systems stop messes in their tracks, removing soils before they damage expensive flooring materials. These machines work quickly to stretch staff hours while conserving water and cleaning chemicals.

Restrooms are the hardest areas to maintain for any educational facility. Cleaning them is unpleasant, time consuming, physically demanding, and frankly demoralizing. Even your most dedicated janitors find the work uncomfortable and frustrating. That’s because stubborn soils and bad odors stick around, despite daily, vigorous maintenance. No wonder restrooms generate the most complaints from students, parents, and educators. Dirty, smelly restrooms tell a story. They say students and staff don’t matter. They say hygiene isn’t important. They say the administration is clueless, or just doesn’t care about student health and well-being. Flip the script on embarrassing restrooms with Kaivac. These tools remove soils and odors quickly and completely with much less effort than traditional methods.

These rooms house your institution’s most precious assets: students and instructors. Maintaining classrooms to the highest standard of clean safeguards their health, boosts morale, and improves learning outcomes. Easier said than done in a world of shrinking budgets and limited staff hours. But cutting back on classroom cleaning jump starts its own vicious, and expensive, cycle. Absenteeism increases, students and staff are demoralized, and expensive building materials wear out before their time (or are deliberately vandalized by those demoralized students). Kaivac offers proven cleaning solutions that create environments most conducive to learning. These workforce multipliers help stretch your budget, allowing janitorial staff to accomplish more work in less time.

Cafeterias, kitchens, and food service areas need constant maintenance to remain safe, clean, and healthy. Providing high-level maintenance of food service areas is non-negotiable, but tight budgets and even tighter labor pools make the job a huge challenge. Cleaning these areas to safe standards eats up valuable resources while other important maintenance tasks are deferred. Speed up food service cleaning with tools and procedures from Kaivac. These machines remove grease, fallen food, and food service messes quickly and completely, freeing up staff to move on to other jobs or just clock out early.

Gyms and locker rooms present unique challenges for school administrators. Hardwood gym floors are large and tricky to clean. Because standing water damages hardwood, gym floors shouldn’t get too wet. That leaves time-consuming dry mopping or “dragging” as the only options for removing damaging dirt, scuffs, and grit. Locker rooms, on the other hand, are already too wet. Moisture from sinks and showers are breeding grounds for mold and mildew. The warm, moist conditions are also a great environment for funguses like athlete’s foot and ringworm. Kaivac offers tools and techniques for cleaning these areas quickly and completely leaving them dry and safe for use.
