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.

How to Select Commercial Carpet Cleaners

Commercial carpet cleaners are difficult to select if you do not know what you are looking for. Carpet cleaning machines have a variety of pressure levels, temperature options, and accessories. Many machines, advertised as commercial, are no better than low-grade home-use products that break down or suffer wear and tear under extreme operating conditions of commercial business.

The buyer must select the right dealer. Daimer® specializes in commercial cleaning equipment. Daimer®’s commercial carpet cleaners are made of superior materials. The heating element is durable stainless steel. This is more sturdy and corrosion-resistant compared to aluminum, which other brands use. Daimer® offers proper warranties on carpet cleaning machines.

Commercial carpet cleaners should have the right accessories. Daimer®’s machines, such as XTreme Power® XPH-9650, have a 12-inch dual jet wand. It has a grip handle to prevent slipping. Additional stair and upholstery wands are also sold on request.

High temperatures are a plus if you have to remove heavy stains and dirt from carpets. XTreme Power® XPH-9650 reaches temperatures as high as 210°F. This powerful machine has adjustable pressure levels of up to 500 psi, and massive solution and recovery tanks.

To increase productivity in commercial carpet cleaning and car wash businesses, many buyers purchase machines with auto-dump and auto-fill options. Commercial carpet cleaners from Daimer® feature low flow technology. This feature helps reduce the amount of water used during the cleaning process and prevents germs and bacteria from forming within damp carpets.

Benefits of Non-heated Commercial Carpet Cleaners


Portable Carpet Cleaner Extractor

The difference between heated and non-heated commercial carpet cleaners is that heated machines contain a heating element and provide an output temperature up to 210°F. Non-heated machines do not have a heating element and cannot provide heated output, although many can accept already heated water up to 210°F. While it is true that heated output has a higher cleaning power than non-heated output, one cannot say that the cleaning power and utility of non-heated machines are limited.

The following are some benefits of non-heated commercial carpet cleaners and some tips to get the best out of these machines.

Benefits
Carpet cleaners without heating elements are often cheaper than heated machines. Because they do not have heating elements to maintain, their maintenance costs are often cheaper as well. Heating elements are one of the most frequently replaced items in heated carpet cleaners. The absence of heating elements in non-heated commercial carpet cleaners helps owners to keep maintenance costs down.

Experienced cleaning workers know that not all cleaning tasks require a high output temperature. A mixture of cold water and a good cleaning solution, such as Daimer®’s Eco-Green® Carpet Care & Upholstery Cleaner, can do the job in many cases.

Useful Tips
Daimer® offers a variety of non-heated commercial carpet cleaners in their XTreme Power® series. Such machines as the XTreme Power® XPC-9200 feature pressure levels up to 220 psi and low flow technology, which allows carpets to dry in about 6 hours.

Commercial Carpet Cleaners with the Cold Cleaning Edge


When choosing commercial carpet cleaners, many people opt for heated units because they are often more power than non-heated machines. While it is true that heated systems do have their advantages, non-heated machines have their own benefits as well. In fact, there are certain cleaning applications, which are simply more suited for non-heated commercial carpet cleaners. Rather than invest in a costly heated carpet cleaner, it may make more sense to invest in non-heated units and take advantage of their own unique benefits.

Daimer® offers a number of non-heated commercial carpet cleaners that have their own special advantages. When compared to heated carpet cleaning machines, non-heated systems are much lighter. This is because they do not have to house a heating element. The lack of heating elements also means that non-heated commercial carpet cleaners are less expensive. For those who are on a budget and have relatively lighter cleaning needs, a non-heated carpet cleaning machine is a more effective and economical option.

The XTreme Power® XPC-9200 is one of Daimer’s® most powerful non-heated carpet cleaner and is ideal for cleaning larger areas, since it has larger solution and recovery tanks. It features pressure levels up to 220 psi and a water lift of 150 inches. While heated carpet cleaning machines may be the ideal choice for heavier cleaning jobs, many tasks can be easily accomplished with non-heated commercial carpet cleaners. It is always important to remember to pre-treat carpets before cleaning. Using eco-friendly solutions such as Daimer®’s Eco-Green® Carpet Care & Upholstery Cleaner can help loosen tough stains without harming the carpet, machine, or operator.
