20 Power C lean Carpet extractors are designed to provide a thorough, deep cleaning of carpets to remove the built-up soil and embedded grime. They provide the deepest clean available and in return extend the carpet’s life. Deep-cleaning your carpets can eliminate trapped allergens, contaminants and pollutants – which is beneficial for everyone’s health. It is important to eliminate contaminants as walking back and forth across the carpet can stir them up, sending them airborne again. Carpets should be cleaned once a year and seasonal carpets as needed and depending on the amount of traffic. Hot Water vs Cold Water Extractor All of our carpet extractors clean using cold water for operator safety. Hot water carpet extractors create steam, which carries the active ingredients from the cleaning chemicals and they end up in the air, and inhaled by the operator. Cold water extractors do not create steam— leaving the active ingredients in the carpet, where they belong. Steam also creates more humidity in the building and could possibly result in mold and mildew. With today’s technology, cleaning products are no longer alkaline, the active ingredients perform best in cold water, and are also safer for the environment. Pressure Rating A good carpet extractor will have a pressure rating of 100 PSI (water pump pressure) or better. Select your extractor according to your cleaning needs. The machine you select should have adequate pressure and suction to thoroughly penetrate the carpet as well as remove the soiled solution.
