Touchless Cleaning on the Move
New System’s Kaivac machines are designed for daily cleaning of restrooms, shower rooms, locker rooms and many other areas. This touchless, mobile system increases productivity by at least 30%! The unit is compact in size and allows you to clean even the smallest areas. It helps reduce cross contamination and does a better job of cleaning compared to traditional methods.
BSC Resources: Training
Proper procedural training for employees is one of the most critical issues building service contractors face. Using appropriate training material leads to:
- new workers getting up to speed faster
- increased labor productivity
- more consistent and better cleaning results
- improved customer satisfaction levels
- happier and more satisfied employees
- and a growing and profitable contract cleaning business!
New System and Pro-Link have developed highly effective procedural training materials that help contractors achieve these results. Our training materials cover the 10 most common cleaning tasks – from daily restroom cleaning to carpet spotting to hard floor care and everything in between.
Our training is available in formats appropriate for group training and for placing in janitors’ closets to constantly remind workers of the proper procedures. And the material is available in both English and Spanish.

BSC Resources: Green Cleaning
More and more, contract cleaners are being asked by their customers to “clean green”. New System offers one of the most comprehensive Green Cleaning programs in the industry. We offer green-certified products, training tools, advice on how to start a green program, green cleaning certification education, and more.
Some of the benefits contract cleaners can expect to get from adopting a green cleaning program include:

- Improved safety of your workers
- Fewer missed work days
- Less employee turnover
- Positive impact on worker liability insurance
We have an ISSA Certified Expert (ICE) on staff to help you work toward CIMS certification. We are also a GCI certified education center to help your staff to get their industry certifications.
BSC Resources: Business Management Tools
The day to day demands of running a contract cleaning business can be very time consuming. Sometimes there isn’t much time left over to focus on improving operations and procedures to make the business run more efficiently.
New System and Pro-Link have developed a number of simple and easy-to-use spreadsheet tools to help contactors get their arms around the business. We’ve developed tools for budget management, inspections, quality control and labor scheduling.
Here’s just one example of a tool we’ve created for BSCs:
BSC Budget Tracking Spreadsheet
This spreadsheet help you track and manage your consumables spending for each account. Simply enter the budget and actual spending amounts each month, and spreadsheet does all the calculations for you — including easy to read graphs.
Please contact New System for more information.
BSC Resources: BSC Advisor
To further help building service contractors improve their business operations and their long term profitability, Pro-Link publishes the BSC Advisor. It is written by a nationally recognized consultant to cleaning contractors and it focuses on business issues BSCs face and provides advice and suggestions.
Topics include:
- Sales plan development

BSC Resources: Marketing Tools
Growing a cleaning business is tough enough. Doing it profitably is even harder. New System understands that many times the basic contract for daily cleaning services comes at very low margins.
By adding on services beyond the basic contract, BSCs have the opportunity to enhance the profitability of the account.
New System can help by providing contractors professional marketing tools to help win add-on business.
One example is this sell sheet that is designed to help you sell a carpet maintenance service to your existing accounts. Click Here for Sell Sheet Example

New System works closely with many in the education sector, particularly K-12, but colleges and universities also. We are aware of issues unique to the education market. Issues like:
- Staffing
All schools are being asked to do more with less staff. This poses many challenges. New System can assist you in analyzing your buildings with work loading software to be sure you are using your staff in the correct way.
Green Cleaning
Illinois requires green cleaning in schools, and Missouri strongly recommends it. Both states have issued guidelines to help you build a green cleaning (healthy cleaning) program. We have worked with many school districts with success. Three of our education customers have been recognized nationally by American School and University magazine for their green cleaning programs. Others have experienced better attendance records due to having healthier schools! If you would like to strive for healthier schools, let us help you.

- Certification
Don’t you expect teachers, school nurses, administrators, and even bus drivers, to have a recognized certification to do their jobs?
What about the custodians who are responsible for the health and well-being of students, staff, administrators, and members of the community that enter our schools on a daily basis? Many school districts have recognized the benefits of having their staff certified in the best practices of healthy cleaning. New System is certified to teach these certification classes. We can do this on site, or in our training room at our headquarters in Earth City.
- Equipment
Keep schools clean with a reduced staff is a challenge. One way to help get things done is by upgrading your equipment to accomplish more and better work in a shorter period of time. Your New System representative is happy to bring equipment to your facility to demonstrate how this is accomplished.
- Inventory reduction
How would you like to clean and sanitize 90% of all surfaces in your school with one concentrated product diluted two ways? Have we got the program for you! And, it is green too!
- Appearance
Shiney floors and clean restrooms say a lot about how clean your school is. We offer new floor finishes with Nano technology, others with built in scuff resistance, pads for stripping you floors without chemicals, and much more. How about touchless restroom cleaning? We have the solution for that too. Physically remove the soil from the restroom along with the bacteria, and don’t touch anything! Ask us.
- Restrooms
Touch-free towel and tissue dispenser programs are available from New System. Manual push and touch-free soap dispensers too. Adding these programs to your clean restrooms elevates them to whole other level.
- Wood Floors
Whether you use oil-modified finishes or water-based urethanes, we have the finish for you. Gym finishes from Essential Industries are some of the most widely used in wood floor care. With Essential’s Sport Kote, two people can scrub and recoat your typical gym floor in five hours or less. That floor is ready to play on in 24 hours! Low odors, low VOC’s, high solids, make this finish the premium of the industry. It may also be burnished to restore the initial gloss.You don’t feel comfortable recoating your wood floors? Just call us. We have a staff that will take care of the labor and materials for you.
As cleaning budgets and staff continue to be trimmed, many have found the only way to keep up is by adding equipment to make your cleaning faster and more efficient. We carry several brands of equipment with a focus on applying the correct piece of equipment to the job at hand. Often we can find a unit that will allow you to accomplish several goals with one piece of equipment!
Brands include:
It has been said that knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
Yes, head knowledge is one thing, but putting it to good practical use is wise and important.
At New System, we want to impart knowledge regarding our industry to you and your staff. We enjoy sharing what we have learned, and sharing with our customers is important to us.
You will notice the concept of knowledge, education, learning, training, and certification mentioned throughout our website. In the janitorial business, whether we are an in-house department, or an outside contractor, procedure is usually just as important as products and equipment. New System strives to provide an excellent lineup of products, a reliable choice of equipment, and the proper procedures to make them work for you.
