Cleaning, Sanitizing, and Disinfecting Claims and EPA Registration The KaiVac No-Touch Cleaning System can be used in a chemical-free mode that reduces greater than 99.9% of targeted microbes on a surface when used as directed.

Independent Research and Third-Party Certification Hoosier Microbiological Laboratories, Inc. (ISO 17025 certified and accredited by the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program) tested the chemical-free Kaivac process. Tests consisted of applying microbes to the target surface, applying tap water at 500 psi fan spray with the KaiVac No-Touch Cleaning machine, allowing dwell time, then vacuuming the surface. The results verified that it removed greater than 99.9% of the targeted microbes from the surface, which qualifies it as a sanitizing device.
