Green Cleaning
Tornado Industries, Inc. is committed to creating a clean, safe and healthy workplace environment through the use of innova-
tive cleaning technology developed to minimize the impact of cleaning on indoor and outdoor environments. At Tornado, we
care deeply about our planet and realize the cleaning industry is in a position to make positive and profound contributions to
the environment, ensuring that our children and our children’s children inherit a sustainable and healthy planet. That’s why we
carefully design our machines to deliver not only the latest innovations, but also green features to enhance indoor air quality
(IAQ), use less water and chemicals, create less noise and produce less moisture. Tornado embraces the following ecological
and corporate values through green and healthy practices:
1. Water conservation: Our products, such as our carpet extractors, deliver adjustable solution control for safe, healthy and
fast-drying oors that eliminate mold and mildew. Our cylindrical brush oor machines use 30% less water. The design of
cylindrical brush machines minimizes splashing and over spray by containing water within the machine housing. Cylindrical
brush machines have six times the contact pressure of a conventional rotary brush machine, which not only helps reduce
water usage, but also improves worker productivity and reduces labor costs.
2. Less chemicals: Due to recent green legislation and the development of new cleaning standards, all of our cylindrical brush
machines and carpet extractors are designed to use less chemicals as well as provide increased rotations per minute (RPMs).
The adjustable head pressure helps to minimize the need for powerful and potentially harmful chemicals. Our carpet extrac-
tors have enhanced vacuum systems that limit the possibility of mold and mildew from developing and speed carpet-drying
time. The result? Areas cleaned are ready for use faster and are safer for building occupants.
3. IAQ Enhancement: Vacuum cleaners including uprights, backpacks and canisters can release dust and debris into the air if
they are not designed with advanced inltration systems. That’s why Tornado has developed a comprehensive product family
of high-ltration vacuums with HEPA ltration to help minimize dust and exhaust from escaping the vacuum. All of our carpet
care cleaning equipment has been Carpet & Rug Institute (CRI) and Tandus Industries tested and approved for green cleaning.
What’s more, many of our UHS Ultra High Speed machines have passive vacuum systems to trap contaminants before they
become airborne.
4. Reusable and Recyclable: Our machines are designed with durable polypropylene tanks, housings and other components
that are recyclable after the machine is no longer in use. All Tornado machines proudly display the recyclable logo. Our long
lasting, deep cycle, rechargeable batteries increase run time and minimize down time and time spent on battery maintenance.
Our cylindrical brush technology creates less environmental waste by utilizing one cylindrical pad to every 100 rotary brush
pads, increases the productivity of your maintenance sta with less time spent on pad maintenance and replacement.
5. U.S. Green Building Council Member: We support standards and the criteria established by certication bodies such as the
U.S. Green Building Council, The Carpet and Rug Institute’s (CRI) Green Label Certication program, the Green Seal GS-37
standards, and more.
