Carpet Cleaners: Carpets and Upholstery are Clean Down to the Fiber Ends.
Carpets in public buildings, hotels, restaurants, offices, and stores are subjected to daily wear and tear from the public. Our Kärcher carpet cleaners have proven themselves in this regard for deep cleaning. They operate by injection-extraction and are also known as scrubber-vacs, spray-vacs, or injector-extractors. The cleaning solution (water and detergent) is sprayed under pressure onto the carpet, the dirt is dissolved, and vacuumed up directly. Thanks to the unparalleled suction performance and the low moisture content of the residue left by Kärcher carpet cleaners, carpets can be walked on shortly after cleaning. This method is also ideal for occasional cleaning thanks to iCapsol technology. Kärcher carpet cleaners can also clean upholstery and car seats. They can even be used for cleaning tiled floors, if combined with the appropriate accessories.
Which Spray Extraction Processes Does Kärcher Offer?
Depending on the degree of contamination, available time, and material, spray extraction machines are used in different methods.
1-Step Cleaning
In pure, single-stage spray extraction, the cleaning solution, consisting of water and cleaning detergent, is sprayed under pressure into the floor covering using the spray extraction machine's spray nozzle. At the same time, the loosened dirt is vacuumed away again as a dirty solution using the machine's suction nozzle in the same step. This method is used for both base and interim carpet cleaning, as well as for deep upholstery cleaning.
2-Step Cleaning
In the two-step process, the cleaning solution is applied section by section using a spray extraction machine or a pressure sprayer. After the solution has taken effect, the soiled solution is rinsed out again using the spray extraction machine and clean water. This process is particularly suitable for deep cleaning heavily soiled carpets or upholstery.
Combination Methods
Here, the carpet is wet-shampooed using a cleaning detergent and a single-disc machine. The treated area is then thoroughly rinsed with clean water using the spray extraction process. This cleaning method is not suitable for upholstery.
Which Textiles Can Be Treated with Kärcher Carpet Cleaners?
All textile coverings whose substrates, adhesives, or fixings are both colorfast and resistant to moisture and solvents are suitable. You should test whether this is the case in an inconspicuous area, such as the underside of an armchair or the carpet under a cabinet. However, only decide whether the carpet cleaner is suitable for your project once everything is dry again. You should also check beforehand that the carpet backing and backing materials do not shrink or bleed. Absorbent, usually foamed backing materials lead to longer drying times. The visible surface must, of course, be colorfast and made of suitable fiber types.
iCapsol Technology
Kärcher developed iCapsol Encapsulation Technology specifically for uncomplicated and effective intermediate cleaning. It penetrates the dirt, loosens it deep within the fabric fibers, encapsulates it, and then thoroughly removes it.
