Carpet cleaners are classified as either non-heated or heated. For unmatched cleaning power, purchase heated industrial carpet extractors. Depending on the model and supplier, these carpet cleaning machines can attain steam temperatures up to 210°F. This super-hot steam dissolves tough dirt, stubborn stains, dust mites, and allergens. Quality carpet shampooers work exceptionally well at sanitizing carpets and in removing odors.

One main factor that determines the cleaning power of commercial carpet extractors is the pressure level. The pressure levels of carpet cleaning machines are measured in psi (pounds per square inch). For regular upholstery maintenance and carpet cleaning jobs in commercial environments, choose carpet cleaners with lower pressure levels, in the range of 50 psi to 150 psi. To tackle tough cleaning applications in industrial settings, industrial carpet extractors with pressure levels of 500 psi are preferable.

Commercial carpet extractors also feature high capacity solution and recovery tanks that enable operators to clean for extended periods of time. Top-grade carpet shampooers are also available with a variety of attachments to meet the cleaning requirements of different surfaces. Attachments are available for carpets, upholstery, stairs, and even hard surfaces. Top systems can also be used with a 4-nozzle squeegee wand, enabling the machine to clean hard surfaces such as tiles, marble, concrete, and ceramic.

Powerful, versatile commercial carpet cleaners are the best cleaning machines for professional cleaning services and commercial and industrial businesses.
