Different methods of carpet cleaning.
There are many different methods in carpet cleaning. Here at Rotovac we have over 80 years of combined carpet cleaning experience using almost every different carpet cleaning method imaginable. Whether it's rotary jet extraction, hot water extration, dry extraction, or just vacuuming we have professional equipment for you. The most popular carpet cleaning methods are explained below.
Rotary Jet Extraction: Uses a detergent that is sprayed onto the carpet through rotating spray jets via the pump in your portable extractor or truck mount and is sucked up via a vauum slot in your wand or Rotovac Powerwand. The vacuum slots also rotate following the spray jets thus maximizing solution recovery and dry times and motor is mounted inside of your portable extractor or truck mount. As with almost all of our products you will have multiple choices of different pumps and vacuum motors for your equipment.
Hot Water Extraction: Uses a detergent that is sprayed onto the carpet via the pump in your portable extractor or truck mount and is sucked up via a vauum slot in your wand or Rotovac Powerwand. The vacuum motor is mounted inside of your portable extractor or truck mount. As with almost all of our products you will have multiple choices of different pumps and vacuum motors for your equipment.
Dry Extraction: Dry extraction uses a solvent instead of water to clean carpets with a lower degree of moisture. This method is great for maintenance cleanings and environments such as hospitals and casinos which can't afford wet carpets. The downside of this method is that if the carpet is very soiled, this method doesn't flush and clean as well.
Different types of carpet cleaning machines.
SELF CONTAINED CARPET EXTRACTION MACHINE: SAME PRINCIPLE AS A EXTRACTOR BUT HAS A BUILT IN BRUSH THAT SCRUBS THE CARPET BETWEEN PUTTING THE SOLUTION DOWN AND VACUUMING IT UP. THIS SYSTEM IS GREAT FOR LARGE OPEN COMMERCIAL AREAS.
HOT WATER / STEAM EXTRACTION RESTORATION: THE Ideal WAY to thoroughly clean A CARPET. THIS IS A TWO STEP PROGRAM DESIGNED TO DEEP CLEAN THE CARPET. 1) PRESPRAY CARPET WITH A GOOD PRESPRAY OR USE A NON-RESIDUE SHAMPOO IN A SHAMPOO TANK. AGITATE CARPET WITH A ROTARY BUFFER WITH A CARPET BRUSH. THIS LOOSENS UP THE DIRT THAT IS ON THE TOP AND DEEP IN THE CARPET. LET THE CHEMICAL SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES TO ACTUALLY BREAK UP THE DIRT AFTER YOU SCRUB. 2) EXTRACT THE CARPET WITH A GOOD EXTRACTION CLEANER (LIKE THE CHEMSPEC 90) OR USE A RINSING AGENT (LIKE TEXTILE RINSE FROM CHEMSPEC OR RINSE OUT FROM CELLO). THE RINSING AID WILL FLUSH OUT ALL CHEMICALS AND DIRT FROM STEP 1 AND FROM PREVIOUS CLEANINGS.
BONNET CLEANING: BONNETS ARE MADE OF SYNTHETIC, NATURAL OR A COMBINATION OF BOTH MATERIALS. BONNETS ARE ROUND PADS THAT GO UNDER STANDARD SPEED FLOOR BUFFERS. THE BONNETS USE FRICTION TO PULL DIRT FROM THE TOP OF THE CARPET FIBERS. THIS IS A GOOD SYSTEM WHEN CLEANING A CARPET FREQUENTLY, WHEN THE CARPET NEEDS TO BE DRY SHORTLY AFTER CLEANING OR WHEN A BROWNING PROBLEM OCCURS. HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT A DEEP CLEANING METHOD. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CARPET BE SPRAYED WITH THE DETERGENT THEN BUFFED WITH A DRY BONNET, WHEN THE BONNET GETS DIRTY FLIP IT OVER OR USE ANOTHER ONE.
ROTARY BRUSH OR DRY FOAM: USES A FOAMING SHAMPOO THAT MAY DRY TO A LIGHT POWDER OR CRYSTAL. THE SHAMPOO IS APPLIED WITH A BRUSH AND A STANDARD SPEED FLOOR MACHINE, THE BRUSH GENERATES FOAM AS IT SPINS OR A SPECIALIZED MACHINE THAT GENERATES FOAM BEFORE GETTING AGITATED WITH A BRUSH. THIS SYSTEM IS LIKELY TO LEAVE THE CARPET WITH A STICKY RESIDUE IF NOT USED PROPERLY.
NOTE: ALWAYS VACUUM CARPET THOROUGHLY BEFORE CLEANING, IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND SAVE YOUR EXTRACTOR.

WHAT DO CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US:
Just want to thank you all. I ordered a Stinger a few months ago, and it
is wonderful. But my thanks is to the gentleman I ordered it from. He
took the time to ask me what I was using the machine for and talked me
out of the machine I wanted, which would have been more money, so I am
very impressed with your company. You see he was right and I would have
been stuck with a machine that was not right for me. This is good
business and you now have a customer for life. Thanks L. J. Florida

Neil, everything is going great. We are wrapping up our first year in
the truck mounted carpet cleaning business, in a large part because of you and the
guys in your facility. Both of us spread your good name in the N. East as
much as possible. I can't say enough about the way we were welcomed and the
service we received while in your home city. Once again thank you and we will
keep in touch. T& Pl Whitesboro, NY

I appreciated your patience with me as a newcomer - most important you did not push me to buy a higher price model that I didn't need - you could of sold me a higher price model and taken advantage of my ignorance . You didn't and that's a rare thing these days. As a result I hope to be a long term loyal customer .
Many Thanks P. L. Maine
