10 Reasons Why Truck-mounted Hot Water Extraction is the Best Way To Clean a Carpet!

1. Convenience - Heavy equipment stays out in the truck. The main cleaning machine itself stays out in the truck.

2. Recommended - Carpet Manufacturers Recommend Truck Mounted Equipment. Over 40 carpet mills and fiber producers recommend, endorse, or refer truck mounted equipped professional carpet cleaners.

3. Tested - And Demonstrated By Government Testing To Improve The Quality of Indoor Air. In 1991 and again in 1994, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, working in conjunction with Research Triangle Institute, investigated and scientifically tested the effects of truck mounted carpet cleaning upon the quality of indoor air. The results of these tests demonstrated emphatically that properly performed, hot water extraction made the indoor environment a healthier place to live by reducing gas phase organics, biological contamination, and respirable particles. Having your carpet truck mount cleaned does more than improve the appearance of the carpet, it makes your indoor environment healthier.

4. Refreshes Texture - Truck Mounted Carpet Cleaning Refreshes Carpet Texture. Truck mounted hot water extraction will refresh the texture of your synthetic or natural carpeting. In fact, many warranties from carpet mills require hot water extraction by a trained professional carpet cleaner every 6 to 12 months as a provision of the continuance of the warranty. This is because it not only improves the appearance of the carpet—it refreshes the texture and literally "fluffs" up the fiber. This is the only method that improves texture retention.

5. Faster Drying - Even When Extremely Soiled Carpet is Cleaned. So-called dry cleaning methods often brag about how fast the carpet dries after it is cleaned. The truth is, there is no such thing as "dry" cleaning a carpet. All five major methods employ the use of moisture in the cleaning process. In a contest held by a consumer advocate in Denver, Colorado in 1991, four of the five major carpet cleaning methods were judged in a contest to see which method got an extremely soiled carpet the "cleanest". The winner was clearly truck mounted hot water extraction. In the consumer advocates summary comments, he said the reasons his panel chose hot water extraction the winner were; appearance improvement, it left the least amount of residue in the carpet, and dried the fastest. Truck mounted hot water extraction employs a vacuum recovery system six to ten times more powerful than rental hot water extraction equipment. Dries in 2 to 4 hours.

6. Carpets Last Longer - And Perform The Way You Wanted Them To When You Bought Them. Why did you buy the carpet you did? Color, style, acoustics, safety (slip and fall hazards), soil hiding characteristics, insulation etc. Most likely a combination of these factors caused you to buy the carpet you did. The point is, if a carpet is allowed to become soiled to an unacceptable appearance level, many of these factors are affected. Particulate soils which become deeply imbedded in carpeting will scratch and pit carpet fibers almost like abrasive sandpaper. If carpet maintenance is ignored for too long, accumulated soils can actually cause the latex that holds the carpet together to degrade and breakdown. Regular periodic cleaning has been demonstrated to extend the life of commercial carpets up to 100%.

7. Hot Water - Reduces The Amount of Cleaning Agents That Have to Be Used to Clean Soiled Carpets. The key cleaning solution with a truck mounted system is Hot Water. Truck mounted systems have the capability to create cleaning solution temperatures that reduce the amount of cleaning solution needed to clean the carpet. Cleaning temperatures above 130 degrees at the carpet can only be maintained by a truck mount. These temperatures dissolve many types of soiling and actually reduce the levels of biological contamination in the carpeting. These sanitizing temperatures actually reduce the needed amount of cleaning solution, especially when compared to other cleaning methods. Some so called dry cleaning methods often depend upon harsh cleaning chemicals and strong solvents, even to clean lightly soiled carpets. Hotter cleaning solution temperatures also allow a carpet to dry faster.

8. Stays Cleaner Longer - The Lowest Residue Carpet Cleaning System Available. Truck mounted equipment has been demonstrated and tested to remove up to 97% of all soiling and cleaning solution residue following cleaning. We leave a carpet closer to the condition it was when it was new than any other system. Hot solution pressures remove more soiling, while powerful vacuum systems extract and remove this soiling and the cleaning solutions.

9. Environment Friendly - Exhaust Emissions Meet Strict Government Standards. Truck mounted cleaning equipment meets and exceeds strict 1998 Government Exhaust Emission Standards for industrial equipment. Electrical equipment that is brought into your home to employ other methods of carpet cleaning run up your electrical bill.
