As technology changes, new and improved cleaning machines are being offered. Now, one can find carpet cleaners for specific tasks, including commercial and industrial cleaning, residential cleaning, and auto detailing. While a large selection of companies claim their machines are the best, it is important to know what features and specifications you need for your specific cleaning task. Not knowing such things as whether your carpets can handle high heat could cause serious damage. The following tips will you guide you to choosing quality carpet cleaning machines.
Heated Machines
Heated carpet cleaners contain a heating element capable of heating water to temperatures up to 210°F. While heated water can be added to non-heated machines, it will not maintain the temperature level while cleaning. Machines such as Daimer®’s XTreme Power® XPH-5800T offer heated output with pressure levels of 100 psi and temperature levels up to 150°F, ideal for tough stain removal. High temperature levels up to 210°F are achieved by Daimer®'s more advanced XTreme Power® XPH-5900IU. It is also important to ensure your carpets and upholstery are capable of handling high heat. Such fabrics including silk, Persian rugs, and wool may become damaged when exposed to high heat. For these applications, a non-heated machine would be ideal.
Low Flow Technology
One of the main concerns of cleaning carpets is the time it takes for the surfaces to dry. The quicker the carpets dry, the faster the area can be used. In addition, wet surfaces tend to attract dirt quickly. If the carpet happens to be used while it is still wet, there is a higher chance of additional dirt being stuck to the carpet. Daimer carpet cleaners, such as the XTreme Power® XPH-5800T, include low flow technology for quick drying times. In many cases, carpets will dry within two hours and upholstery within one hour. This also helps reduce the risk of mold, germs, and bacteria from growing within the damp carpets.
Because carpets must be pre-sprayed before cleaning, Daimer® recommends green cleaning solutions such as the Eco-Green® Carpet Care & Upholstery Cleaner. For more details on carpet cleaners and green chemicals, visit www.daimer.com.
