Free backpack vac CD ROM
June 1st 2006 According to Truvox, the US trend for 'team cleaning' is gaining ground in the UK. As such, it claims the popularity of backpack vacuums has surged.
For those unfamiliar with the concept of team cleaning, it is a move away from the traditional approach to large building maintenance i.e.
where a person works within a specific area or zone and performs every single cleaning task. This approach means that equipment is needed for every zone and training has to be wider-ranging and therefore more complicated.
In a team cleaning regime, specialists concentrate on one tightly defined task undertaking it throughout the building. The US experience is that the vacuuming specialists, who spend their entire working lives just vacuuming, strongly prefer backpack vacuums to tubs or uprights. Research suggests that this is due to both the user-friendliness and comfort of backpacks and the fact that they allow the same area to be as effectively vacuumed in as little as half the time, claims Truvox.
Conventional vacuuming methods are often strenuous and tiring requiring cleaners to pull or push heavy upright vacuums around a room. By contrast, the Truvox Back Packs feature a harness which includes adjustable contoured pads which wrap around the lower back and also fit over the shoulders, to sit comfortably on the users' hips and increase operator comfort, even over long shifts.
Combining quiet operation and ease of use, a full 5-litre dust capacity and a weight of less than 5kg, the Truvox Back Pack machines also provide powerful suction on both carpets and hard floor surfaces – handy for large areas such as offices. Further in-use advantages include rugged protection bumpers that prevent accidental damage to walls, left or right hand use and a cleverly vented exhaust which will not blow papers off desks.
