Multi-Purpose Cleaning Machines
The top pain points these systems can solve include:Â
Solutions
- Budget Constraints → In this age, janitorial staff are expected to clean facilities more quickly and efficiently than ever, with fewer resources. Improve your productivity with Kaivac cleaning systems. These systems can maintain any flooring and upholstery, remove spills, dust shelves, and more. Having all these tools in one place helps you reduce equipment inventory and enables your staff to complete tasks faster.Â
- Expensive Maintenance → Kaivac machines are easy and inexpensive to maintain due to their simplified parts and components. If something does go wrong, most issues are easy for a service team to troubleshoot and resolve.Â
- Transitional Inefficiencies → Your facility should have different cleaning routines for each area of your facility. Reduce transition time with Kaivac cleaning systems. With hard-floor and carpet cleaning capabilities and six cleaning attachments, your team can tackle cleaning tasks in any area in one trip to the janitor’s closet.
- Inflexible Cleaning Tools → Most cleaning equipment on the market is made for a single function, which is ideal for specific applications, but ineffective for a streamlined overall cleaning process. Kaivac machines are designed for functionality, including a 15-foot hose, a lightweight wand, and six other attachments. These depend on the system you choose.
Applications
Depending on the system, some clean upwards of 20,000 sq. ft. of hard floor and carpeting per hour. As a result, these systems are well-suited to handle cleaning tasks across small to large applications.Â
Some of the top industries these machines are ideal for include:Â
- Office BuildingsÂ

This machines help eliminate some of the most common pain points, including:
Solutions
- Restricted Cleaning → Without a cord or a bulky machine, this powerful backpack battery feature allows the operator unrestricted cleaning access.
- Stairway Cleaning → Many of the top scrubbers on the market are either too bulky to fit through typical stairwells or, more likely, are restricted by a cord that prohibits the operator from swiftly moving up and down steps. The MotorScrubber machines aren’t constrained by either of these restrictions, making them suitable for stairwells of any size.
- Operator Strain & Discomfort → When a machine is built for one-size-fits-all, the lack of customization can cause strain on the employee, leading to shorter run times and less overall productivity. MotorScrubber’s solution was to make its scrubbers lightweight and to incorporate a telescopic handle that adjusts to any operator’s height.Â
- Low Clearance Cleaning →  Easily gain access and clean underneath objects and furniture that your team has never been able to reach before with MotorScrubber’s pivoting handle. Reach as low as 20cm (8″).Â
- Water Exposure → There are many applications where water may be unavoidable, or, in some cases, where cleaning is required. Most scrubbers on the market are highly sensitive to water because their batteries are not compatible with any liquid. MotorScrubber machines are 100% waterproof thanks to their detachable battery, enabling operators to clean pools, boats, and more safely and effectively.Â
Applications
Its compact size and waterproof components allow these machines to fit into tight spaces and environments that other commercial floor scrubbers cannot reach.
Some of these spaces include:Â

High-Access Cleaning Systems
Between the external and internal cleaning capabilities, the Spacevac vacuum system is all you need to complete your high-access cleaning tasks. You can learn more about their range of capabilities below.
Solutions
The challenges that these machines aim to solve include:Â
- Unsafe Conditions → Ordinarily, cleaning in high-access spaces can be one of the most dangerous tasks a janitorial team is expected to complete. Whether it be a ladder or otherwise, Spacevac machines are designed for operator safety. Their proprietary locking system ensures the pole system interlocks to stay securely in place during operation.Â
- Handling Fatigue → Other high-access tools may be heavy, placing significant strain on operators to hold them, limiting run times. Alternatively, Spacevac vacuums are built with a carbon fiber blend to deliver durable, lightweight cleaning performance.Â
- Unadaptable Tools → Spacevac vacuums are customizable with four brush heads and five specialty attachments to fit any cleaning tasks you may have. These may include cleaning ductwork, pipes, walls, and art exhibits.
- Lack of Visibility → High access usually means you have limited visibility, if any at all, so your staff may have to guess whether or not they have thoroughly cleaned the area in question. To address this challenge, Spacevac equips all its vacuums with camera and monitor systems so operators can complete tasks without guesswork.Â
- Business Differentiation for BSCs → Give your business a competitive advantage by using specialty tools like the Spacevac system. These systems are ideal for building service contractors looking to add services to their portfolio or to enhance their existing cleaning routines.Â

Solutions
Any high-access cleaning task will come with its share of challenges. Learn how the Unger window-cleaning system can address these for you.Â
Core Challenges:Â
- Transportation Challenges → The Unger window cleaning systems take all the hassle out of cleaning with their compact design that fits most vehicles, making them easy to load and unload to different areas and locations.

When you use Unger window cleaning systems, you eliminate the need for either of these and can complete all high-access cleaning tasks safely from the ground. The lightweight aluminum telescopic poles can easily reach your highest areas, and include the proprietary ErgoTec® Locking Cone, which prevents any components from falling off the pole and hitting or injuring the operator.Â
- Expensive Maintenance → Our partners know that you want machines built to last. The Unger Hydropower systems include an automatic shutoff function to protect the pump and limit the risk of ongoing damage if the water supply stops. The system allows the operator to manually rinse the filters and traps to remove built-up contaminants before they harden or cause damage over time.Â
- Worker Discomfort → All of Unger’s poles on the Hydropower systems include lightweight materials and ergonomic handles for improved worker comfort, allowing your team to work longer and more frequently.
Applications
