A Guide to Choosing Commercial Carpet Cleaners

By searching on the internet, you will find vast amounts of information on commercial carpet cleaners. However, a person who is unfamiliar with the cleaning industry may not understand the technologies associated with these machines. Here are a few basic details about these machines along with some tips on choosing commercial carpet cleaners.

How Carpet Cleaning Machines Work
These machines inject a mixture of cleaning solution and water into carpets, mats, and similar soft surfaces. The cleaning mixture enters the outer layer and breaks the bond between the surface and dirt. The operator, at the same time, agitates the surface with a wand attached to these machines. The action of the cleaning solution mixture and continuous agitation result in the formation of dirt residues, which are extracted by the machine.

Daimer® is the industry's premier provider of carpet cleaning systems, offering machines with low flow technologies to help reduce the amount of water needed to clean. This allows for quicker drying times and reduces the risk of mold and bacteria growth in carpets.

Eco-friendly Cleaning
It is better to use green cleaners as carpet cleaning solutions rather than toxic cleaning formulas. Toxic chemicals can ruin surfaces and pose health risks to users and those who encounter the residue they leave behind. Daimer® offers a number of green cleaning chemicals, such as the Eco-Green® Carpet Care & Upholstery Cleaner, in their Eco-Green® series of green chemicals. These chemicals are plant based and safe for use on a number of surfaces as well as those exposed to them.

How to Select Commercial Carpet Cleaners
Commercial carpet cleaners have to be more powerful than those used in residential settings. The pressure levels of these machines can range up to 500 psi. However, since certain surfaces can be damaged by high temperatures, the most important specification of these pieces of equipment is output temperature, which can vary up to 210°F for heated models.

One should also check the reputation of the supplier. Daimer®, a reputable distributor of cleaning equipment, offers many models of commercial carpet cleaners with a focus on power and quality.

Commercial Carpet Cleaners with High Pressure Levels

The pressure levels of commercial carpet cleaners play a key role in determining their cleaning power. For light-duty carpet cleaning or upholstery maintenance jobs, carpet cleaning machines with low pressure levels of 60 psi to 150 psi are adequate. However, when you need to manage demanding cleaning jobs in industrial areas, you must be equipped with carpet shampooers with high pressure levels of up to 500 psi.

For the best commercial carpet cleaners, look no further than the XTreme Power® series from Daimer®. The XTreme Power® XPH-9600 is a heavy-duty commercial/industrial carpet extractor with features like auto-dump, auto-fill, 250" water column lift, and pressure levels of up to 500 psi. While the low flow technology keeps water usage to a minimum and helps carpets dry out faster, the large solution and recovery tanks enable users to continue cleaning for extended periods without having to fill up water or dispose of the dirty solution. The high temperatures, water lift, and high pressure levels combine to make this rugged carpet extractor a perfect option for cleaning professionals.

High-quality and versatile commercial carpet cleaners like the XTreme Power® XPH-9600 can also double as hard surface cleaners when paired with the 4-nozzle squeegee wand. All you have to do is attach the squeegee wand to the carpet shampooer. You can then use it to clean and extract dirt deposits from hard surfaces, like ceramic, marble, tile, and concrete. This dual function capability makes these commercial carpet cleaners great for cleaning services facing the task of cleaning carpets as well as hard surfaces.

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.

Are Non Heated Commercial Carpet Cleaners Right for You?

The added heat of hot water commercial carpet cleaners offers a number of greater cleaning abilities than cold water carpet cleaners. Heat can break down the bonds between dirt molecules more readily, thus allowing the dirt to be easily extracted. While hot water machines have their advantages, a non-heated system may be preferred in certain cases.

Benefits of Unheated Commercial Carpet Cleaners
Cold water cleaning equipment has certain advantages. They do not have a heating element. This makes them less bulky than hot water machines. In addition, power consumption is less because water does not need to be heated before use. They are also often cheaper than heated machines.

Some commercial establishments find that a non-heated carpet cleaning machine is enough for their requirements. If your office or store does not experience a great deal of traffic or your facility has heated-sensitive carpets, non-heated commercial carpet cleaners would suffice. However, if you run a busy restaurant or your office employs many staff, it might be better to invest in a heated carpet cleaner.

Daimer® retails many different models of high-end carpet cleaning machines. The XTreme Power® XPC-5700, one of the most popular cold water cleaning machines, uses minimal water to reduce drying times. Carpets dry in as little as 6 hours, as opposed to the whole day required by other models that use more water. Additionally, to enhance cleaning power, this machine enables users to add water with inlet temperatures up to 210°F.
