When you select a carpet cleaner, you’ll choose from a wide variety of cleaning methods and prices. Be sure if you compare prices that you compare procedures and experience as well. A good rule to remember is “You get what you pay for”. If you decide to base your decision on price alone, at least make sure the company will guarantee their work.

Here’s 3 reasons why a truck-mounted unit cleans better than a portable unit:

It heats water to a higher temperature. For every 18 degree increase in temperature above 118 º F, you double the water’s cleaning ability. So if the temperature is 136º F, it will clean twice as well as water that is 118º F. If the temperature is 154º, it will clean four times as well as 118º water, and so on, until you reach a water temperature of 250º.

It shoots the cleaning solution into your carpet at higher pressures, which breaks up the dirt, bacteria, chemicals and pollens, 300-400 pounds per square inch is the optimum pressure for truck-mounted hot water extraction.

The machine uses stronger suction to draw the dirt, chemicals, bacteria, pollens, and tobacco smoke residue out of your carpet. With our equipment we are able to have your carpet completely dry within 3-5 hours.

Not surprisingly, having your carpet thoroughly cleaned with truck-mount hot water extraction costs more than renting a do-it-yourself cleaner at the grocery store. If you bought the cheapest carpeting you could find, then renting a unit from the store might be all you need. No question, it will get out some of the dirt – but the key word here is “some”. It will not get out many of the pollens, chemicals, bacteria and dust mites or residues. On the other hand – if you want your carpet to look good and give you years of dependable service – then you need to take extra good care of it. This means you need to have it cleaned by a skilled, qualified IICRC certified technicians at least every 4-6 months depending on the on the amount of soiling and foot traffic it receives. You need to have it cleaned thoroughly and disinfected, as only a truck-mount hot water extractor can do.
