Floor Equipment Vendor Is Critical For BSC's Green Program

Company Website

Nationwide building services contractor, GCA Services Group, is an impassioned leader in promoting its Custom Green Program to its quality-conscious clients in 50 states and Puerto Rico. GCA’s 22,000- plus employees deliver green cleaning programs to commercial facilities and manufacturing operations, as well as public and private schools and universities.

While continuous employee training and client communication are critical for successful green cleaning, GCA Services acknowledges that choosing the right brand of vacuums, scrubbers, burnishers and extractors has been a key to the success of their green cleaning programs. GCA Services selected Advance as their principal floor-cleaning equipment vendor and promotes the use of Advance equipment to its cleaning operators throughout the country.

“Advance equipment has been the centerpiece of GCA’s implementation of green cleaning,” says Jason Lee, national training manager for GCA Services Group. “It’s been critical to have a vendor that is both environmentally aware and very knowledgeable about all the new equipment and cleaning standards — like CRI and LEED. A big part of our Custom Green Program success is due simply to having Advance’s equipment in place.”

For example, vacuum cleaners must be capable of capturing 96 percent of particulates of 0.3 microns in size to meet the requirements of the Carpet & Rug Institute’s (CRI) Green Label Program. All of Advance’s newest vacuums have been CRI-certified.
