truckmount carpet cleaning: What is it?

Truckmount carpet cleaning is a mystery to a lot of people.  Many consumers do not know the difference between portable carpet cleaning and truckmount carpet cleaning. A truckmount carpet cleaner is a carpet cleaning machine that is mounted to the floor of a van.  It uses hot water extraction to clean carpet. Although we possess over 200 feet of hose, the van needs to be parked near the premises. The technician then connects the vacuum hose and solution line hose into the machine. The hoses are then brought the residence or building where a wand is connected to the end of the hoses.

the difference between portable and truckmount carpet cleaning

Truckmount Carpet Cleaning Power

Truckmount carpet cleaning is more powerful than portable carpet cleaning, even though portables have come a long way since Huck’s Carpet Cleaning began cleaning carpet. The reason truckmount carpet cleaning is more powerful is because the truckmount machines get their power from an engine, whereas portables use electrical sockets in your home.

Truckmount Water Pressure

Water pressure is the next difference between portable and a Truckmount carpet cleaning. In order for your carpets to be cleaned effectively, the cleaning solution must be rinsed out completely. If it is not, then the remaining solution will collect soil, causing your carpet to get dirty faster. A portable is usually capable of 125-150 PSI. A carpet should be rinsed at 300-400 PSI, which a Truckmount is more than capable of achieving; it can go as high as 3000 PSI. The higher PSI helps to agitate the fibers, spots, and oils and soil to better remove them all.

Truckmount Vacuum Power

Vacuum power is the next difference between the two machines. Truckmounts have much more power than portable machines. Even though truckmount carpet cleaners have higher water pressure, the vacuum is powerful enough to have most carpets completely dry in 4-6 hours or less. Portables Do Not have this capability. Most portables require overnight to be the recommended dry time.
Homeowners know that carpet cleaning isn’t just about prolonging the life of your carpet; it’s also about all the health risks that come along with dirty carpet. Carpet can absorb many dangerous allergens and carcinogens from the air outdoors, such as pollens, bacteria, cigarette smoke, car exhaust and hundreds of other chemicals. Regular carpet cleaning schedules will give you with a much healthier home.
