Tips To Select Commercial Carpet Cleaners For Auto Detailing

Commercial carpet cleaners are used for a variety of cleaning applications, such as auto detailing and cleaning mats and carpets in office buildings and shops. Auto detailing, however, differs from other cleaning applications. One must understand certain basic aspects about carpet cleaners in order to find the right machine for auto detailing.

Commercial carpet cleaners clean mats and carpets by injecting a solution of water and cleaning solution into the carpet. This results in the formation of dirt residues by dissolving stains deep within the carpet fibers, which can be extracted with the help of a vacuum.

Carpet Cleaners for Auto Detailing
Commercial carpet cleaners are used to clean carpets, mats, seat upholstery, and other interior parts of a vehicle. However, a system with a specialized upholstery tool is required, as a standard carpet wand cannot reach the small areas characteristic of vehicle interiors. For this reason, Daimer® offers a specialized line of carpet extractors designed for auto detailing purposes, paired with a 4" upholstery wand.

One feature many buyers look for with auto detailing systems is the length of the drying time. Vehicles tend to have limited airflow, lengthening the drying time of interiors. When using conventional carpet shampooers, automotive interiors are left too wet, requiring more than 24 hours to dry. This is simply not practical for auto detailers, as it greatly limits their turnaround.

Commercial Carpet Cleaners for Auto Detailing Businesses

To have a profitable business, auto detailers need equipment that is lightweight, easy to handle, and offers significant cost savings on electricity and water management. Commercial carpet cleaners sold by Daimer® offer all these features, plus additional aspects that makes them ideal.

Unfortunately, not all upholstery can be stripped from the car and cleaned outside. Therefore, you need commercial carpet cleaners that can reach tight corners and under seats to provide total cleaning. One such machine like this is the XTreme Power® XPC-5700U. This machine has an upholstery wand and an optional 10-inch jet head, as well as a 20-foot long solution and vacuum hoses.

An auto detailing business does not need commercial carpet cleaners with large water storage tanks because the interiors of a car are generally compact. The XPC-5700U has a 4.5 gallon solution tank capacity and a recovery tank of 4 gallons, enough for most car upholstery cleaning operations. However, larger storage tanks are beneficial for mobile auto detailers who must travel to the vehicle owner's location and may face limitations in terms of water supply.

Drying time and water requirements are also important factors in the efficiency of commercial carpet cleaners. Car upholstery needs to dry fast, though air flow is limited. Using too much water might increase the drying time in the car interior. Machines offered by Daimer® have low-flow technology that uses minimal water for carpet cleaning. This conserves the water and brings down the drying time to as little as two to six hours.
