At CleanTEC, we’re always exploring innovative ways to make our cleaning services more efficient, sustainable, and effective. This month, our team at The Crest School in North London welcomed a new member: The LionsBot R3 Vac, affectionately nicknamed Robby the Robot.
Robby has joined our cleaning operatives to help prepare the school for the new academic year, demonstrating that autonomous cleaning robots aren’t just for corporate office cleaning and can be a valuable asset in busy school environments. This isn’t the first time we’ve introduced robotic cleaning solutions either. We’ve successfully deployed the R3 Vac across a range of client sites, proving its adaptability beyond a single setting.
Why We're Using the R3 Vac
We know every building is unique, so before introducing new technology we carefully survey the site to ensure it’s the right fit. By trialling and successfully implementing the R3 Vac in schools, we’ve shown that this isn’t just office cleaning technology; it’s adaptable to the needs of a range of different environments.
Here’s why the R3 Vac is proving so effective for our clients:
Consistent, High-Quality Cleaning
- The dual roller system and microfiber brush deliver spotless results in a single pass.
- Side brushes ensure edges and corners are cleaned thoroughly, ideal for high-traffic areas like classrooms, corridors, and office spaces.
Minimal Disruption During the Day
- With a quiet operating volume of just 61.7 dB, the robot can run during lessons or working hours without disturbing students, teachers, or office staff.
- A built-in HEPA filter improves indoor air quality by capturing fine dust and allergens, creating a healthier environment for learning and working.
Cost-Effective & Reliable
- Runs autonomously for up to 3 hours per charge, docking and recharging itself to continue where it left off.
- Designed for durability with easy, tool-free maintenance, reducing downtime and callout costs.
Sustainability Benefits
- Energy-efficient and engineered to last more than 5 years with daily use, helping clients reduce environmental impact.
- Aligns with CleanTEC’s B Corp values and our commitment to sustainable school and office cleaning services.
Flexible & User-Friendly
- The MagicTag system allows the robot to start cleaning automatically with no specialist training.
- Suitable for a wide range of environments: schools, offices, universities, colleges, and healthcare.
Innovation That Benefits Our Clients
By bringing the R3 Vac into education settings, we’re helping schools benefit from technology that delivers cleaner, healthier spaces while supporting long-term sustainability goals. For our office cleaning clients, the same benefits apply: reduced disruption, consistent quality, and improved workplace wellbeing.
At CleanTEC, we combine the latest innovations with our people-first approach, ensuring every solution is practical, effective, and aligned with our clients’ needs. The R3 Vac is just one example of how we’re raising the standard of school and office cleaning services.
