Mixed-surface floors are where crews lose time to tool changes. Carpet in the offices, VCT in the corridor, entry tile at the door - and a technician who has to stop and swap heads three times a floor. The ProTeam 106855 kit is built around the EZ Glide floor tool, which is designed to move between surfaces without that stop. It suits building service contractors, schools and facility teams running ProTeam backpack vacuums across floors that change surface every few rooms.
Built for
- Mixed carpet and hard-surface floors on a single route
- Corridors, classrooms, open-plan offices and common areas
- Reaching under desks, tables and fixed seating from a standing position
- Routes where large debris - paper, wrappers, gravel - shows up regularly
The EZ Glide tool
ProTeam's EZ Glide floor tool is built for smooth cleaning across a variety of surfaces, using soft durable gliding strips and a full 14-inch cleaning path for maximum coverage with minimal drag. Low drag is not a comfort feature on a backpack route - drag is what tires an operator's shoulder and slows the pass. The tool moves from hard floor onto carpet and gets into corners and under furniture without the operator lifting and repositioning.
The 56-inch two-piece wand
ProTeam's 56-inch two-piece, two-bend aluminum wand uses a button lock rather than a friction fit. The lock holds the sections positively through a shift, and pressing the button separates the wand deliberately. That separation is genuinely useful: a short wand section handles stairs and upholstery, and it also lets a technician grab large debris directly instead of watching it bridge across the floor-tool inlet. The two-bend geometry angles the tool into the floor while the operator stands upright.
Who should choose this over a dedicated carpet or hard-floor kit
If your building is all carpet, a carpet-specific head will out-clean a universal tool. If it is all polished hardwood, a felt brush tool is the safer pick. The EZ Glide earns its place on floors that are genuinely mixed, where the time lost to swapping tools costs more than the last few percent of surface-specific performance.

Frequently asked questions
What surfaces is the EZ Glide tool meant for?
Both. It is built to move between hard floors and carpet on the same pass using soft gliding strips and a 14-inch cleaning path, which is why it is specified for mixed-surface buildings.
What is a button lock wand and why does it matter?
The two wand sections lock together with a spring button instead of a friction fit. It holds securely through a shift and separates on purpose, which lets you break the wand down for stairs, upholstery or picking up large debris.
How long is the wand?
ProTeam's two-piece, two-bend aluminum wand in this configuration is 56 inches assembled. The two bends angle the floor tool into the surface while the operator stands upright.
Will this fit backpack vacuums other than ProTeam?
It is built for ProTeam's 1.5-inch coupling. Several other commercial backpack brands use a 1.5-inch fitting as well, but send us your machine model and we will confirm before you order.
Is a universal floor tool a compromise?
On a single-surface building, yes - a dedicated carpet or felt hard-floor head will do that one job better. On mixed floors the EZ Glide usually wins on total time, because the crew stops swapping tools room to room.
Discount Cleaning Products is an authorized dealer for the brands we carry. Orders are picked and shipped from US-based stock, and our team can help you confirm wand couplings, tool widths and fitment before you order so the kit works with the machine you already run.
