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:
| Product | Pouches per Mini Carton | Yield |
|---|---|---|
| 102® ScrubPac® All Purpose Cleaner | 30 | 30 quarts or 30 two-gallon buckets |
| 104™ ScrubPac® All Purpose Cleaner | 24 | 24 quarts or 24 four-gallon buckets |

| 1804™ MopPacLite® pH Neutral Floor Cleaner | 24 | 24 four-gallon buckets |

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.

As we know, it is very difficult to categorize disinfectants as “green,” as they are killing microorganisms and may have a part in creating bacteria that is resistant to specific chemicals. The Environmental Protection Agency is looking to change this, as more disinfectants with “greener” active ingredients are being created and introduced to the market. These include products that use hydrogen peroxide as an active ingredient to clean and disinfect.
Design for the Environment (DfE) Disinfectant Changes
As the industry moves forward and technology changes, we should see many new products that will meet the EPA’s guidelines to be considered as “green” disinfectants. As your RMS representative about hydrogen peroxide based disinfectants today!
A USA Today investigation was released today in their newspaper and website shows that the very dangerous MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria has been expanding into communities very quickly. The antibiotic resistant bacteria was mainly found in hospitals and other health care facilities, but is now spreading and being found in many other facilities. One such area is NFL locker rooms, as three players on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were found to have the potentially deadly staph infection.
MRSA can also strike hard during flu season, which we have approached here in these winter months. Careful cleaning and disinfecting with the correct chemicals, allowing proper dwell time, can greatly decrease the chances of a MRSA outbreak at a given facility.
If you have any questions about disinfectants that kill this bacteria, please contact a Riley Maintenance Systems representative. We have some very effective chemicals that will eliminate this bacteria if used properly and would be happy to stop over to your facility to demonstrate.
As we move into the winter months, flu season is all around us. It is very important to talk about disinfectants so that we are able to keep our buildings healthy. Triple S has a newer product called Sanotracin, which can be very important to health care facilities as it the only product on the market that has a 3 minute kill claim for Clostridium Difficile, more commonly known as C.Diff.
Here is a video demonstrating the features and benefits of Sanotracin:
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact a representative at RMS for a demo on Sanotracin!
