commercial carpet cleaning machines

To perform a truly deep clean that every carpet needs once in a while it is recommended by both carpet manufacturers and carpet-care experts that carpet extractors should be used. Carpet extractors offer a fantastic method of stain removal for a variety of different environments and carpet surfaces, and at Clean Sweep UK we have a range of fantastic carpet extractor hire options. But do you know exactly how carpet extractors work? What are the different varieties available? And why carpet extractors are so useful for commercial cleaning? Let us illuminate you with a brief summary of all the how’s, why’s and where’s you need to know with regards to carpet extraction technology.

A carpet extractor uses a wand-like device to direct cleaning solution down towards the very base of your carpet. By targeting the lower reaches of your carpet you can more effectively attack deposits of grime and soiling that would otherwise remain untouched by typical vacuum washers. The extractor then removes this mixture of cleaning solution, dirt and water with a vacuum, allowing your carpeted surface to dry significantly faster than after most deep-cleaning procedures.

Home carpet cleaning machines available for rent or purchase to consumers do not reach temperatures nearly high enough to sanitize carpets. Heat is required to activate the cleaning agents in the detergent — that means piping hot water, and not water from a faucet. Our equipment heats water to temperatures of 212-230° (the boiling point) in order to properly disinfect your rugs. Furthermore, the vacuums in home carpet cleaners are designed to avoid blowing a circuit. That means that they are not very powerful. These machines are not capable of removing all of the dirt or bacteria embedded in carpet fibers, nor even all of the soap and water that they inject. Carpets will dry slower, and will end up with a sticky residue on the surface when you use these rental machines. Our truck-mounted system has a much stronger vacuum, which decreases dry time and leaves your carpets residue-free.
