Cleaning professionals are often required to visit offices, hotels, spas, department stores, malls, schools, restaurants, and other commercial areas to thoroughly clean and shampoo carpets. The type of carpet cleaning equipment they use can affect efficiency, productivity, and cleaning time. To select the right carpet cleaning equipment for your carpet cleaning business, the following must be considered.
Heated Vs. Non Heated
Non heated carpet cleaning equipment is cheaper and lighter than heated machines. They also consume less electricity. However, non-heated systems offer less cleaning power, as heat is required to soften and dissolve the most stubborn residues and stains. Heated carpet cleaning equipment, on the other hand, deep cleans carpets by utilizing hot water at temperatures up to 210°F. These high temperatures can also be used with non-heated systems, as they can accept high inlet temperatures; though this requires an additional source to heat the water. Another factor to consider is the delicate nature of certain carpet fibers. Some carpets can be negatively affected by heat.
Hoses
The length of the hose decides how well you can position the carpet cleaning equipment while cleaning. Short hoses will restrict your ability to cover large carpeted or upholstered areas without moving the machine. Acknowledging this problem, Daimer® carpet cleaning machines include two 25-foot solution and vacuum hoses on machines such as the XTreme Power® XPC-9200.
Tank Size
Commercial carpet cleaning is difficult and inefficient without built-in tanks to hold water. The XTreme Power® XPC-9200 has a solution tank with a capacity of 17 gallons, while the recovery tank can hold 15 gallons of waste water. This does away with the need to continually stop the cleaning operation to load detergent solution or dump the extracted water.
When cleaning carpets in any business, drying time must be considered. After all, the business usually must begin operation within a few short hours after cleaning. Traditional shampooing systems often require up to 24 hours for carpets to dry completely. Daimer's XTreme Power® line, on the other hand, boasts low-flow technology, enabling carpets to dry in as little as 1-6 hours, depending on the selected model.
