Buying Carpet Cleaners to Remove Pet Stains

Carpet cleaners are used to clean large, soft surfaces including carpets, rugs, and upholstery. These places can see a variety of different stains, from wine spills to pet urine. The following information includes ideas on what to look for when removing pet stains.

What’s the Ideal Machine?

When removing pet stains from rugs and carpets, always opt for a powerful, low flow carpet extractor. Choose a carpet cleaner based on the cleaning task at hand and what surfaces you intend to clean. For instance, delicate fabrics like Persian rugs and wool may damage under high heat and therefore machines utilizing cold water are recommended. Durable carpets can be cleaned more quickly with the added power of heat.

Carpet cleaners that feature low flow technology help reduce water consumption and the possibility of mold, germ, and odor from forming. They also allow carpets and upholstery to dry much quicker, in some cases as little as one hour.

Removing Pet Stains

It is better to have a heated machine for removing pet stains, if the carpet fibers can sustain high temperatures. Daimer carpet cleaners, such as the XTreme Power® XPH 5800T, reach temperatures up to 210°F. These machines not only help in cleaning the surface, but they remove odors as well.

Carpets must be pre-sprayed before cleaning. Using a green cleaning product, such as Daimer®’s Eco-Green® Carpet Care & Upholstery Cleaner, is a safe alternative to toxic, harmful chemicals. These green products enhance the cleaning efficiency of carpet cleaning machines, without harsh chemicals that damage the surface or the environment.

Carpet Cleaner Glossary

To ensure you purchase the best possible machine for your cleaning needs, it is important to understand the features available for carpet cleaners. The following are the 10 of the most popular terms associated with steam carpet cleaning machines.

1. Pressure Levels – This term refers to the force with which water or steam is ejected from the nozzle. For carpet cleaners, pressure levels can reach up to 500 psi.
2. Heated and Non-Heated Machines – Most carpet cleaners on the market today use a heating coil to heat water to high temperatures reaching up to 210°F. The use of heat offers greater cleaning power. Non heated machines do not have this feature, but they are safer for cleaning delicate and more expensive upholstery.
3. Low Flow – This refers to a specialized technology that reduces the volume of water emitted onto carpet surfaces. Low flow or low moisture machines offer minimal water consumption to quicken drying times without limiting cleaning power.
4. Carpet Extractors/Carpet Shampooers – These are alternative terms for carpet cleaners.
5. Auto Fill and Auto Dump – These features are primarily meant for industrial grade carpet cleaners. They facilitate continuous operation by automatically refilling the solution tanks and emptying out the recovery tank.
6. Solution Tank – The solution tank can be as large as 15 gallons. It is meant for holding water and detergent solutions to be applied to the carpet. Larger tanks are ideal for cleaning larger areas.
7. Recovery Tank – The recovery tank stores the dirt, water, and solution extracted from the carpet after it is cleaned.
8. Heating Element – The heating element is the component that heats water to 150-210°F. These components,only found on heated systems, can be either single tank or dual inline heating elements.
9. Heating Time – This is the time require for the water to be heated after the heating device is switched on.
10. Drying Time – This is the time required for the carpet to dry out after cleaning. Lower drying times prevent mold, bacterial growth, and unpleasant odors from forming. While some carpet cleaners have a drying time of 24 hours, Daimer® machines, such as the XPH-5900i, can reduce the drying time to as little as two hours by using low flow technology.

Why Non-Heated Carpet Cleaners Are a Good Investment

A number of people may think investing in non-heated carpet cleaners may be a waste of money. However, these carpet cleaning machines are ideal for a number of applications. For users who do not require the additional power afforded by heat for removing stains or for users who need to clean heat-sensitive carpets, these machines are a great investment. The following are a few reasons why non-heated carpet cleaning machines are a smart investment.

Versatility
Non-heated carpet cleaners can be used to clean virtually all kinds of carpets and seats. Heated machines can be used only on the surfaces that can withstand the output temperature of these machines. While the cleaning power of non heated models is less than their heated counterparts, using green chemicals along with carpet cleaners can compensate for the loss of power.

Simplicity
hese machines are easy to operate and require low maintenance, as they lack a heating element. Users simply pre-spray the carpet with a green chemical, like Eco-Green Carpet Care & Upholstery Cleaner. Then inject water and solution into the carpet using the machine. Subsequently, users extract out all dirt, water, and solution for thoroughly cleaned carpets.

Low Cost
The price of non-heated carpet cleaners is much less than that of heated models, as they lack a heating element.

How to Find Machines
Daimer®, a reputable distributor of carpet cleaners, offers many models of non-heated carpet cleaners in its XTreme Power® series. For further information about these products, log on to www.daimer.com, and check out the XPC range of machines within the XTreme Power® series.

How Heated Carpet Cleaners Can Help?

Commercial and industrial areas often deal with numerous spills and stains that can soak deep into the carpet. Debris and dust can be ground into the material or worse yet, mix with a sticky spill or stain. If you have the leisure to clean these stretches of carpet over a long length of time, ordinary carpet cleaners with drying times as high as 24 hours may be sufficient. However, for such businesses subject to heavy traffic with little time to clean, heated carpet cleaning machines are the best option.

Daimer® offers both non-heated and heated carpet cleaning machines for fast and effective carpet cleaning. Using heated water on stubborn stains, hardened deposits, or sticky debris helps to soften and remove stains more easily. Even old and deep-seated stains can be removed by using heated carpet cleaners, as high temperatures work to dissolve deposits and stains for easy extraction.

All of Daimer's carpet cleaning machines, heated and non-heated, feature low-flow technology. This leads to superior cleaning power without the use of large amounts of water. One benefit of using carpet cleaners with low-flow technology is they require shorter drying times than other machines. In commercial and industrial areas, sectioning off areas so the carpet can dry may not be manageable. Heated carpet cleaning machines with low water flow usage usually dry within 2 to 4 hours. These faster drying times also mean a greatly reduced risk of germs and bacteria taking root and multiplying in the damp material.
