How Commercial Carpet Cleaners Can Mean Better Business


Most businesses and corporations use commercial carpet cleaners to get their premises as clean as possible. What many people do not realize is an investment in the right carpet cleaning equipment can have a positive effect on your business. Conversely, opting for the wrong products can have a negative impact on business. Prior to investing in any kind of commercial carpet cleaners, it is important to know what features to look for and to understand why these features are important.

A Question of Water
Ask any large business or corporation what the biggest drawback of carpet cleaning is, and the most common answer will probably be the drying time. In fact, during heavy traffic times, many businesses may simply opt not to clean their carpets. This is because the damp carpeting can take a very long time to completely dry out, and it just is not feasible to cordon these areas off. In some cases, when the carpets do not dry out completely, they start giving off a foul odor. Daimer® understands that the source of all these problems lies in water usage. This is why they have incorporated a special low water flow technology into their commercial carpet cleaners.

Commercial carpet cleaners in their XTreme Power® series rely more on strong suction and extraction powers for dirt removal. In this way, deep-seated stains, as well as particles lodged deep in the carpet fibers, can be removed effectively. Best of all, carpets can completely dry out in as little as two hours, leaving no odor behind. In this way, businesses can clean their carpets even during high traffic times without causing any inconvenience.

Five Factors to Consider When Buying Commercial Carpet Cleaners


Commercial carpet cleaners are used for carpet cleaning and upholstery maintenance in office buildings, hotels, hospitals, residential buildings, retail stores, malls, conference halls, and other commercial areas. Carpet shampooers are different from home-use machines in many ways. Here are five points to keep in mind when buying commercial carpet cleaners.

1.Power: Daimer® offers carpet cleaning machines with pressure levels as high as 220 psi. These machines are powerful alternatives to home-use machines, which do not have the required pump pressure or airflow for heavy-duty cleaning. The XTreme Power® XPC-9200, in addition to high pump pressure, offers airflow of 200 cfm.

2.Low Flow Technology: Commercial carpet cleaners sold by Daimer® have low flow technology in order to reduce water consumption. Low water not only reduces drying times, but also helps eliminate the risk of mold and mildew forming within damp carpets. Top machines such as the XTreme Power® XPH-5900I can leave carpets dry in as little as two hours.

3.Temperature: If your carpets are not heavily soiled or you do not have to clean dirty carpets on a regular basis, invest in a non-heated machine. Commercial carpet cleaners without heating devices are cheaper. Used with Daimer®’s Eco-Green® Carpet Care & Upholstery Cleaner, stubborn dirt and stains are eliminated. However, if the carpets you are required to clean are often deeply stained with food, ink, pet urine, and similar substances, use hot water carpet cleaning machines.

4.Automatic Refill Technology: This feature helps speed up the cleaning process. Automatic refill technology enables operators to cover large areas without having to stop and refill the water tanks.

5.Solution and recovery tanks: Large solution and recovery tanks are useful when you are working on a client premises where water availability and disposal may be a problem.
