Professional Results from a rental machine!
In its simplest form, a carpet extractor puts down soapy water and then pulls it back up. Many extractors also offer some form of agitation (hopefully of the carpet, not the user). The results obtained depend on how well the machine does each of these things. Since it was designed for commercial use, the Riccar unit has a commercial quality pump and vacuum motor. These did an excellent job of spraying cleaning solution across the entire width of the machine and then of vacuuming up the solution to allow for fast drying. However, the biggest advantage of our machine seemed to come from the machine‘s brush agitator used to clean the carpet. It’s much like your upright vacuum brush roll and did wonders getting dirt out of the carpet. Both on the wall to wall plush carpets and thinner area rugs, the results were easy to see (even if you didn’t see the dirty water). |
