Vacuum: Bright Lights, Clean City

Company Website

The New York metropolitan area packs nearly 3,000 people into every square mile—all in towering high rises and sprawling buildings. IBS Services Group, a commercial cleaning operation in Long Island City and Manhattan, sees the city situation as a big opportunity. For a client list as demanding and diverse as the American Cancer Society and Chanel, IBS cleans three million square feet in a typical day—all with health and productivity in mind. For over 20 years, IBS has made it work with ProTeam backpack vacuums.

Designed for efficiency and productivity, the ProTeam vacuum combines a high-powered motor with Four Level® Filtration to capture up to 43 percent more dust than a standard commercial upright. The ProTeam design also reduces moving parts and damage to the motor, resulting in a durable, long-lasting machine. IBS now owns over 300 ProTeam vacuums, and has never had to junk one, not even the first backpack from 1988. That’s still used on a daily basis.
