Carpets are made from a variety of materials, use different types of dyes and patterns, and carry many types of embellishments. They are laid on floors using different methods – glue, tiny nails and brackets, stitching, and so on. Knowing these details before purchasing carpet cleaners ensures proper cleaning without damage.
Persian carpets and antique carpets, for example, are not durable enough to withstand the high temperatures of some carpet cleaners. When expose to high heat, these materials may shrink or the dyes may start to bleed. For this reason, it is recommended to use non-heated cleaning.
Glue is also used for attaching carpets to the floor, particularly in commercial areas with high pedestrian traffic. High heat can melt certain glues, causing the carpet to bunch, which can pose a slip-and-fall hazard to pedestrians. The XTreme Power® XPC-12000 from Daimer® is just right for such carpets, because this machine offers cold water as well as lukewarm water cleaning.
Knotted carpets are usually the most durable. These carpets, along with many other types, can be cleaned using water as hot as 210°F, the high temperatures reached by Daimer®'s heated XTreme Power® carpet cleaners. These machines can also be used for applying detergent solution to the carpet, agitating it by using the wand, and then extracting the dirty water. For delicate virtually all carpets with a range of different types of challenging stains, it is recommended to use Daimer®’s Eco-Green Carpet Care & Upholstery Cleaner with the steam carpet cleaning machines. This will boost cleaning efficiency and will not damage the carpet. For best results, pre-spray the carpet with this solution first and let dwell.
