K-12 and higher education institutions face constant challenges in maintaining clean, safe, and healthy floors – especially with limited custodial resources. From hallways and cafeterias to locker rooms and classrooms, schools often juggle multiple tools for different floor types, increasing complexity and cost. The Kaivac All Floor™ system offers a better way.

Clean Virtually Any Floor Type with One System
The Kaivac All Floor is a versatile cleaning system engineered to clean virtually any type of floor. In walk-behind mode, the All Floor cleans wide areas of low-pile carpet and hard flooring at a rate of over 20,000 square feet per hour. In breakaway mode, it tackles higher-pile carpet, rugs, matting, upholstery, stairwells and more. Instead of relying on outdated methods like mops and buckets – or juggling multiple machines for different surfaces – custodians can use one powerful, easy-to-operate system that streamlines their workflow and improves results.

Better Cleaning, Faster Turnaround
Unlike string and flat mops that simply redistribute soils, the Kaivac All Floor system applies cleaning solution directly to the floor, then uses a high-performance vacuum to remove liquids and contaminants in a single pass. This process ensures a deeper clean and leaves floor dry and ready for foot traffic within minutes – perfect for time-sensitive environments like classrooms, cafeterias, and gymnasiums.

 

Designed with Schools in Mind

  • Cleans more than 20,000 square feet per hour
  • Works on virtually all flooring surfaces
  • Leaves hard floors dry and safe for immediate use
  • Quiet operation suitable for use during class hours
  • Simple controls require minimal training

Cost-Effective and Labor-Efficient
Custodial teams in schools are often stretched thin. The Kaivac All Floor system helps make the most of limited staffing and budgets by consolidating cleaning tools and reducing labor time. With one machine handling multiple floor types, schools can eliminate redundant equipment and streamline maintenance routines. The All Floor is also less costly to purchase and maintain than an autoscrubber with less overall downtime as a result.

Proven Results in Education Settings
Schools and universities across the country are adopting the Kaivac All Floor system to enhance their cleaning programs. Facility managers report improved floor appearance, greater efficiency, and better outcomes in health and safety audits. Whether cleaning during the school day or overnight, the system delivers consistent, professional-grade results.

Environmentally Responsible Cleaning
The Kaivac All Floor system uses less water and fewer chemicals than traditional methods, supporting green cleaning practices and helping schools meet sustainability goals. The All Floor also uses water as a filter, capturing and containing even the finest of dust particles. This eliminates the need to use and replace dusty paper filters that end up in the landfill.

The Kaivac All Floor system simplifies floor care across educational facilities. By delivering fast, effective, and hygienic cleaning on virtually any surface, it empowers custodial teams to do more with less – while creating cleaner, healthier spaces for students and staff every day.
