Cleaning Machine: Health Cleaning for Healthy Grocery Store

Company Website

About a year ago, a major grocery store, famous for marketing and selling healthy, organic foods, hired Total Clean Up, a contract cleaning service owned by Shannon and Kenny Lufkin in Tulsa, Okla.  At the time, the store was unhappy with their cleaning contractor who, Kenny says, was “just moving dirt around—not removing it.”

To turn things around, the Lufkin’s developed a cleaning program for the store that included using Green-certified cleaning chemicals and the Kaivac No-Touch Cleaning™ system.  The system is used in the restrooms as well as the all the market’s floors.

“With the KaiAuto® attachment, chemicals are applied to the floor, which is then vacuumed-up by the machine essentially at the same time,” says Kenny.  “It vacuums up not only the chemicals, but grit, dirt, and soil as well.”

Additionally, adds Kenny, the Kaivac system protects indoor air quality, improves the floors’ appearances, “and it’s super fast as well.”
