Commerical Carpet Cleaning

Many business owners acknowledge the fact that commercial carpet cleaning services are a must to maintain their businesses’ image. However, many are unfamiliar with the inner workings of carpet cleaning machines. While not crucial, an understanding of these machines can be immensely useful in spotting an incompetent worker and thus saving yourself from further mishaps. Since elaborating on the inner workings of all the carpet cleaning machines currently available would take several hours, we will be focusing on carpet extractor cleaning machines.

Carpet extractors, as their name implies, extract dirt from carpet fibers and into a tank. By utilizing a cleaning solution, brush, and vacuum, extractors are able to remove dirt from a neglected carpet with relative ease. Since extractors are used for varying applications, they come in all sorts of sizes and heights. These differences in size allow for increased cleaning scope.

Since the introduction of carpet extractors, numerous advancements have been made in extractor technology. A more recent advancement has been the introduction of self propelled extractors. These machines are both small and versatile. All that’s required of the operator is to select the direction and speed of the cleaning. Once these machines get going, they are able to clean an 18in. wide area in one stride. As if that’s not impressive enough, they boast two large tanks to reduce the frequency of filling and emptying operations.

A variant of propelled carpet extractors are the battery powered carpet extractors. These extractors allows for a cord free operation and subsequently faster cleaning times. They also offer the convenience of automatic operation. Since these extractors are cord free, manual operation becomes much less of a hassle.

Finally, we have extractors that utilize a jet stream and motorized brush for maximum cleaning power. These types of extractors tend to have more features than traditional extractors – including the ability to switch from wet/dry extraction. Many also come bundled with air blowers to significantly reduce carpet drying times. As most of us know, moisture is not a carpets best friend. A large number of these extractors can be used for many additional purposes such as ventilating fumes. If you want stunning carpets, this extractor is definitely one you should consider.

While you can certainly have your janitorial staff clean your commercial carpets with one of the above extractors, we would recommend against it. While these machines are pretty straightforward in regard to usage, a small mistake can result in several thousands of dollars worth in damage. Talk to a nearby commercial carpet cleaning business before going ahead and permitting your janitorial staff to clean your carpets.
