Another problem with using too much water for cleaning carpets is that carpets take long to dry. For carpet cleaners using high amounts of water, drying time can be as long as 24 hours, depending on the humidity and temperature. Using minimal water to clean carpets reduces drying times to four to six hours. This prevents growth of molds, fungi, bacteria, and pests. Damp upholstery also causes bad odor. With quick drying times, the risk of odor is reduced, as well.
Heated carpet cleaners are the most effective carpet cleaning solution. They use high temperatures to remove stains and odors from carpets. However, low flow carpet cleaners do not need to not use hot water for effectiveness. The XTreme Power® XPC-9200 is a non-heated carpet cleaner with low flow technology, which facilitates faster drying. The powerful vacuum extraction (150-inch water lift and air flow of 200 cfm) capability also helps in cutting down drying time. A dual jet carpet cleaner wand offers more cleaning power.
In addition, Daimer® offers eco-friendly cleaning chemicals for added cleaning power. By adding the Eco-Green® Carpet Care & Upholstery Cleaner to your carpet extractor, you can boost the cleaning power of both heated and non-heated machines. Daimer® also suggests pre-spraying carpets with this Eco-Green® solution before applying a carpet cleaner for maximum efficiency.
