Vacuuming Produces Cleaner, Fresher Air


Columbia Public Schools (CPS) is the proud recipient of the 2010 Green Cleaning Award, K-12 Best New Program. The award recognizes American educational institutions for achievements and efforts in creating healthy, sustainable cleaning programs that help protect students' and staff members' health.

Tornado Industries, manufacturer of professional cleaning equipment, has played a leading role in helping CPS with its Green initiatives. For instance, the district selected Tornado's CV 38 Upright Vacuums and Tornado's PV 10 Pac - Vac® Backpack Vacuums - both feature HEPA air filtration systems - to help protect indoor air quality.

According to Mike Jones, CPS Assistant Director of Custodial Services, "We've noticed a dramatic difference in the amount of dust we're seeing after vacuuming [with the Tornado vacuum cleaners]. Our staff [has] not only noticed a reduction in dust found on surfaces, they have also noticed the air is cleaner and fresher as well."
