Less Space, More Power: How the PortionPac® Mini Carton System Is Changing the Way Facilities Clean

Less Space, More Power: How the PortionPac® Mini Carton System Is Changing the Way Facilities Clean

What if your entire daily cleaning supply fit in a shoebox — and still covered 528 quarts of usable solution? That’s not a hypothetical. That’s the PortionPac® Mini Carton System, and it’s one of the smartest upgrades a facility can make to its janitorial program.

At RMS, we carry PortionPac® because the results speak for themselves: less storage space, less chemical waste, less time — and more clean.

What Is the PortionPac® Concentrated Cleaning System?

PortionPac® has been pioneering smarter cleaning for 60 years. Their philosophy is simple: Less is More™. By offering super concentrated, pre-measured cleaning solutions in color-coded Pac® brand pouches, PortionPac® eliminates the guesswork, waste, and bulk that comes with traditional ready-to-use (RTU) products.

The standard PortionPac® cartons — already a fraction of the size of RTU alternatives — offer up to 528 quarts of usable solution per shoebox-sized package. That’s more than 10 times less storage space than an equivalent ready-to-use product. For facilities managing limited supply closets, that difference is game-changing.

Introducing the Mini Carton System

Building on that foundation, PortionPac® developed the Mini Carton System to serve an even wider range of operations.

Whether you run a single small location or manage a large multi-site portfolio, the Mini Carton gives you the flexibility to match your distribution needs precisely. Each Mini Carton contains 24 or 30 individual Pac® brand pouches — making it easy for janitors to take just what they need, mix on the spot, and keep moving.

The result? Just-in-time mixing for maximum efficiency. Janitors can refill solution bottles at the nearest water source rather than making repeated trips back to a centralized supply room. Less travel time. More square footage cleaned per hour.

The Full Mini Carton Lineup

PortionPac® Mini Cartons are available across their most popular product lines, covering every daily cleaning need:

A row of nine colorful hair dye packaging pouches, featuring various shades including green, red, purple, blue, and yellow, each labeled with a unique product name and number.
ProductPouches per Mini CartonYield
102® ScrubPac® All Purpose Cleaner3030 quarts or 30 two-gallon buckets
104™ ScrubPac® All Purpose Cleaner2424 quarts or 24 four-gallon buckets
232™ Germicidal Cleaner3030 quarts

1804™ MopPacLite® pH Neutral Floor Cleaner2424 four-gallon buckets
1832™ MopPacLite® pH Neutral Floor Cleaner3030 quarts

The 1832™ MopPacLite® is especially worth highlighting for facilities using trigger sprayer mopping systems. Pre-measured for 32-ounce spray containers, it lets janitors refill on the go — no detours, no downtime, no over-diluting.

Safer for People. Better for the Planet.

Performance isn’t the only reason facilities trust PortionPac®. The product lineup is built around safer ingredients and responsible formulations:

  • Green Seal® Certified — All Purpose Cleaner, Glass Cleaner, and pH Neutral Floor Cleaner meet rigorous environmental and health standards
  • OSHA HazCom Hazard Free — across the lineup, giving cleaning staff and facility managers real peace of mind
  • EPA-Registered Germicidal Cleaner — effective against pathogens including RSV, Staph, Salmonella, MRSA, Influenza A, and COVID-19
  • Biodegradable formulations — less environmental impact, without sacrificing results
  • VOC free Glass Cleaner — streak-free cleaning with no harsh fumes

Less packaging. Fewer shipments. Cleaner buildings. Healthier teams.

Betco GeneSys 20 Demonstration @ RMS

In a recent demonstration at Riley Maintenance Systems (RMS), Josh Enfield performed a demo to showcase the Betco GeneSys 20 automatic scrubber. This compact yet powerful machine is designed to tackle the toughest cleaning tasks with ease. 

The GeneSys 20 boasts a 20-inch scrub path and is equipped with a transaxle drive system, providing smooth operation and maneuverability. Its 13-gallon solution tank and 15-gallon recovery tank allow for extended cleaning sessions, while the HEPA-filtered vacuum ensures a cleaner environment by capturing fine particles. With a sound level of less than 65 dBa, it operates quietly, making it suitable for noise-sensitive areas. 

One of the standout features of the GeneSys 20 is the SoliChem™ Technology. This on-board chemical dispensing system utilizes solid chemical cartridges, eliminating the need for manual mixing and reducing chemical waste. A single solid can produce approximately 350 gallons of cleaning solution, offering both cost savings and environmental benefits. 

The machine also incorporates the Fortify™ Asset Protection Suite, which includes a wet battery protection system, programmable timer lock-out, and Armor™ telemetry for monitoring machine performance. Additionally, the Airoflex® squeegee system enhances vacuum performance by up to 40%, ensuring floors are left dry and safe after cleaning. 

For a closer look at the GeneSys 20 in action, check out the demonstration video from RMS!

Floor Care in these trying times

COVID-19 has hit the US like a storm we haven’t seen before. Many of us are concerned with cleanliness now more than ever. we have been told “don’t shake hands”….”don’t touch your face”… “Frequently Wash/sanitize your hands”… the list goes on.

If we really want to stop the spread or #flattenthecurve we must take more action than simply taking care of our hands and face. Our floors where we walk everyday, track dirt, grime, bacteria…should not be forgotten. There are many ways we can maintain our floors daily to help keep a clean environment. One of the most effective is to properly use disinfectants diluted at the ratio specified by the EPA to clean these surfaces which we literally walk on every day.

Effective ways to clean:

In a perfect world we would all own an auto-scrubber or carpet extractor. These machines make maintaining floors a piece of cake, and simply put, here is the best way to help stop the spread:

-1st Pass- put down disinfectant and scrub the area with the squeegee in the up position

-WAIT for the required dwell time (check your SDS sheet for the proper claims on the product you are using)

-2nd pass- Simply scrub and recover as normal

The same rules apply if you do not have an auto-scrubber or Carpet machine, simply using a mop and bucket applying the same rules as above will yield the same results.

Maintaining floors does not have to be a hard job, and your colleagues, customers, family, friends, or whoever will greatly appreciate the “steps” you are taking to help the cause!

Recommended Disinfectants we here at RMS carry:

–Betco brands: Fight Bac, Triforce, PH7Q, PH7Q Dual, Sanibet, Quat Stat, Pine Quat

–Charlotte Products Nemesis

Compass Hand Soap/Sanitizer

Betco has launched a brand new foaming hand soap and hand sanitizer program that was created to guide users toward proper hand hygiene.  Most of us don’t even realize that it takes 20 seconds of proper hand washing (8 seconds for sanitizing) to eliminate the germs that reside on our skin.
