Using Green Chemicals with Carpet Cleaning Equipment


Portable Commercial Carpet Cleaner

Carpet cleaning equipment should be used with a good quality cleaning detergent. To clean carpets, detergent is first sprayed on the carpet. Be particularly careful with stains. Soak them well in the detergent solution for a few minutes. Use the wand of the carpet cleaner to agitate the carpet as you clean; this dislodges dirt. Once the stains and dirt are removed, the wand extracts the dirty water.

Carpet cleaning equipment can be heated or non-heated. Non-heated machines do not have any heating equipment. They are ideal for cleaning dust, dander, pet hair, and mud. Many carpet cleaners such as Daimer’s XTreme Power® XPC-5700 can use preheated water to clean grease and stains when used with a powerful carpet cleaning detergent.

Hot water machines are best for removing grease, deep stains, and odors from carpets. Daimer®’s carpet cleaning equipment such as XTreme Power® XPH-5900i heats water to as high as 210°F in five minutes. This machine has pressure levels up to 100 psi. The air flow is about 100 cfm and it has a powerful water lift of 100 inches. Daimer®’s carpet cleaning machines feature low flow technology. This helps carpets dry in as little as two hours.

Harsh detergents damage the carpet and carpet cleaning equipment. They are dangerous to the operator’s health. Harsh bleaching solutions such as chlorine often lead to discoloration of carpets, and they corrode carpet cleaning machine’s parts. Therefore, Daimer® has developed an eco-friendly detergent. Eco-Green® Carpet Care and Upholstery Cleaner is a non-toxic, wholly plant-derived product. It is non-corrosive, non-flammable, and non-toxic.
