There is a revolution happening in floor cleaning as more and more people make the change from conventional floor mounted machines such as uprights and pull along machines to backpack vacuum cleaners.

When you consider that up to 50% of your energy is wasted dragging a conventional vacuum cleaner around the area to be cleaned while trying to avoid furniture or lugging it up or down stairs, it makes sense to put it on your back. Not only will it make your job faster, you will avoid the stress and strain of carrying and moving a conventional vacuum cleaner. You will also avoid damaging your furniture while vacuuming.

Make light work with the vacuum cleaner you wear!!

WHAT THE CLEANING PROFESSIONAL SAY:

Properly designed and manufactured backpack vacuum cleaners such as the Cleantech backvacs are of special interest to cleaning professionals because of their outstanding performance. They make vacuuming much more efficient and much less tiring. A manager of janitorial services in a large organisation in the USA had this to say:

"There is less wear and tear on the janitor. There is no pushing or pulling of heavy weights. Employees vacuum better with the backpacks, especially in the cubicles".

SERVICES, the magazine for the building service contracting industry, reports that studies suggest backpack vacuums dramatically improve worker productivity.

WHAT THE SCIENTISTS SAY:

Well-respected scientific institutions have thoroughly tested the performance of backpack vacuum cleaners and have reached some very interesting conclusions. When they compared the cleaning ability of backpack and upright vacuums they found that upright vacuums, including two-motor units, removed between 87.9% and 94.9% of soil while backpack vacuums removed between 91.3% and 96.1%.

Their test also showed that backvacs were not ergonomically (biochemically) detrimental in sustained use and a metabolic assessment indicated that they consumed only half as much operator energy as uprights for equal amounts of cleaning.

Studies conducted by independent testing organisations demonstrate the many advantages including superior cleaning efficiency and reduced operator energy consumption offered by backvacs.
