Carpet Extractors with Hot Advantage

Carpet Extractors with Hot Advantage
Residential carpet extractors are often powerful enough to tackle conventional cleaning needs of lightly soiled carpets. However, many instances require a little extra cleaning power. Some carpets have several stains and sticky residue that seep deep into them. In these cases, ordinary carpet cleaning units will not effectively remove the stain. Steam carpet cleaners are usually a safe bet to remove tough stains and sediment. However, is important to clear up some common misconceptions about steam carpet cleaners and learn how they are different from ordinary carpet extractors.

Contrary to what many people think, steam carpet extractors do not actually work with steam. They use hot water to soften and dissolve stains and sediments from carpets and upholstery. The XTreme Power® XPH-5800T from Daimer® offers heating temperatures of 150°F and a moderate pressure level of 100 psi. It is also important to note that although high temperatures clean more effectively, you will need an anti-bacterial steam cleaner to sanitize surfaces.

Carpet extractors have a number of advantages useful for cleaning. The XPH-5800T heats up in 15 minutes and allows for quick drying times of as little as four hours. With the ability to heat water, the XPH-5800T can clean more effectively than hand scrubbing with brushes and chemicals. When used with a green cleaning solution, such as Eco-Green® Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner, carpet cleaners offer a safer, more effective alternative than using toxic chemicals. However, it is important to ensure the carpet can withstand the heat generated by these machines. Some natural fibers like wool and certain synthetic fibers can shrink or melt under high temperatures. More information is available on carpet extractors and other cleaning units at www.daimer.com.
