6. ProTeam manufactures a vacuum for every surface
Carpets cover 70% of the floors in United States
The remaining 30% are hard surfaces

7. Indoor Air Quality Carpet Facts...
Carpets cover 70% of the floors in United States
Carpet can hold more than its weight in soil
70-80% of dust, dirt, and grime is tracked into a building from outside
30% of dirt is deposited in the first 3 feet, while 90% is tracked off in the first 25 feet

8. Indoor Air Quality Carpet Facts...
Carpet soil generally consists of 85-95% dry soil and 5- 15% oily soil
Carpet has a high surface area and is known to act as an organic dust sink containing bio-contaminates and allergens
Daily vacuuming is more important than interim and deep cleaning methods. Dry soil is abrasive; when ground into your carpet, it cuts into carpet fibers, dulling carpet appearance and reducing its longevity

9. Indoor Air Quality Hard Floor Facts...
Using traditional dust mopping methods requires extensive time to train employees
Vacuuming is a faster, healthier, and more efficient way to clean hard floors. Dust and dirt are immediately contained within the Four-level Filtration™ in the vacuum. Messy cleanup and expensive laundering or rental costs are eliminated

10. Indoor Air Quality Hard Floor Facts...
Dust mopping continually redistributes dirt and fine particulate on and into the floor, leaving scratches and dulling the high gloss Finish
Dust bunnies reappear in 24 hours when a floor has been dust mopped as compared to 72 hours when cleaned with a Super Coach backpack vacuum
When using the correct tools, the Pro-Team Super CoachVac cleans 52% faster than a dust mop in crowded classrooms and congested areas

11. Indoor Air Quality Protecting The Built Environment...
Above-the-floor dusting represents 41.2% of customer complaints
People can inhale soil particles 10 microns and smaller
Housekeeping is probably the most common means of removing potential allergens, and vacuum cleaners are the most commonly used tool

12. Indoor Air Quality Protecting The Built Environment...
Vacuum cleaning removes some fungus and spores from carpeting, but it also reintroduces them to the air either through the action of a beater bar in the vacuum or through conventional bags
Vacuuming without proper filtration is one of the main causes of reintroduction of allergens and harmful particles into the air
Vacuums with filtration collection systems retrieve soil and safely contain harmful particles from being reintroduced into the built environment

13. Indoor Air Quality Relative Size of Airborne Contaminants...
Particle size in micron units*
, ,000
*1 micron = 25,000ths of an inch

14. Indoor Air Quality Indoor Allergens and Microorganisms...
“When contaminants are removed or minimized through cleaning, human exposures and risks are reduced. Cleaning is always the critical ingredient in maintaining a healthy building.”
Bacteria
“Dust contains dirt, textile fibers, pollen, hair, skin flakes, residue from cleaning chemicals and household products, decaying organic matter, dust mites, bacteria, fungi, viruses, and a variety of other contaminants. Many viruses use dust particles as rafts to ride the air.”
Dust Mite
Virus
Pollen

15. Four-level Filtration
Inner Fiber Filter
Reusable 2 ply Micro filter
Outer Filter
Micro-Tex cloth filter
Dome Filter
Plastic cage with foam or high efficiency filter media
Sound Muffler / Filter
Two-inch foam reduces exhaust and sound levels
The combination of Pro-Team Micro filters and Micro-Tex filters is up to
96.1% efficient
at filtering particles down to 1 micron

16. Partnerships & Approvals

17. Vacuum Cleaner Standard
The Carpet and Rug Institute has initiated Vacuum Cleaner and Indoor Air Quality Testing Program that identifies vacuum cleaners that have met the stringent carpet industry standards for all three elements:
Soil Removal,
Dust Containment
Carpet Appearance Retention
Pro-Team is the first backpack vacuum manufacturer to receive certification of commercial carpet, exceeding the standard established by the Carpet and Rug Institute.
I.D. # 81321

Canister—2.8 grams
Upright—2.3 grams
In 5 passes, the Pro-Team CoachVac Backpack Vacuum is
43% more efficient than a commercial upright vacuum and
30% more efficient than a canister in removing soil*.

19. Metabolic & Ergonomic Assessment
Using Backpack Vacuums Results In:
results in less body stress
increases efficiency
minimizes the "hunching over" often associated with upright vacuum cleaner use
allows more carpet is cleaned in a shorter amount of time due to the natural walking motion used
avoids repetitive motions that can result in long-term adverse medical effects
requires less than half the energy and effort to clean the same area as it would take with an upright vacuum
