Basic Method
for Cleaning |
Thousands of tiny Air Cells, masses of air surrounded by a microscopically thin sandwich of detergent, water and more detergent, are gently scrubbed into the carpet. These Air-Cells create a unique cleaning environment, containing 90% air and only 10% detergent and water, that overcomes gravity to hold soil in suspension for immediate extraction. |
|
High pressure jets spray a solution of hot water and detergent into the carpet to loosen the soil. Some of the cleaning solution and soil are then extracted by means of a built-in suction method. |
| Drying Time |
1 hour |

24+ hours |
| Environmentally safe? |

- Very little water is used.
- Machines are easily transported in a small hybrid car.
- Green Seal Certified.

- Requires many gallons of water to clean a carpet.
- Most require trucks to transport equipment and idle during cleaning.
