Carpet Extractors: Low-Flow Technology and Its Advantages

Advantages of Carpet Extractors
Low-flow carpet extractors use minimal water for cleaning carpets. It is a common misconception that carpet cleaning requires large amounts of water, particularly when completed on a commercial scale. If you have contracts for cleaning carpets, sofas and chair covers, car seats, rugs, and other upholstery, the use of excessive amounts of water will leave these surfaces soaked, requiring up to 24 hours or more to dry completely. In addition, this excessive dampness for lengths of time can lead to mold and mildew growth. In the case of restaurants, retail stores, and other businesses, this extended period of time for which they cannot use their carpets is simply not an option. To provide the best carpet cleaning services to these types of clients, consider low flow machines.

Powerful Dirt Removal
Carpet extractors that use the low-flow technology offer the same cleaning power without using extreme quantities of water. For example, Daimer®’s XTreme Power® XPH-5900i is a hot water carpet cleaner with temperatures reaching 210°F. This machine has powerful vacuum extraction capabilities, with a water lift of 100 inches and air flow rate of 100 cfm. The water heats in as little as five minutes, reducing the waiting time and increasing productivity for commercial applications. Large water storage tanks also increase productivity by facilitating continuous operation.

Drying Time
Low-flow carpet extractors from Daimer® have a second advantage. These machines reduce drying time to 6 hours or less, compared with other carpet cleaners that require 24 hours or more to dry. Incompletely dried carpets encourage the growth of bacteria and mold. These can cause diseases ranging from allergies to food poisoning.

To get the best out of your carpet extractors, use them with green cleaning products rather than regular toxic detergents. Daimer®’s Eco-Green® carpet cleaning products combine natural ingredients with well-researched Micro-Blasting® technology. This results in effective washing, longer period of dirt-free carpets, with no resulting toxic runoffs or dangerous detergent residue in the carpet.
