Vacuum: Arizona’s Largest School District Sees Results with Backpack Vacuum

Mesa Public Schools, the largest unified school district in Arizona, spans over 100 buildings and nine million square feet. The maintenance crew takes on this sizeable challenge by focusing on the equipment, tools and techniques that offer the most productive, healthy results.When it came time to evaluate the effectiveness of their regime of dust mops and uprights, a skilled team of district custodians found a more productive, efficient and green option — ProTeam backpack vacuums, especially the high-performance Super CoachVac.The results have been dramatic. With powerful suction and a Four Level Filtration system, ProTeam backpacks have reduced floor cleaning time by 20 to 35 percent, decreased indoor air quality complaints, and led to a remarkable end to repair requests. The district hasn’t had to replace or repair a single ProTeam vacuum—even after six years and over 200 in use.“I think ProTeam vacuums are one of the best investments we’ve ever made,” says Chuck Simonette, director of custodial services for Mesa Public Schools. “They’re efficient, virtually maintenance free, and save us time.”
