A common question we get asked a lot is “what professionals use to clean carpet?”
The answer is although very simple, it still requires a little understanding of the business.
When cleaning carpets, the professional is cleaning them to earn money. So, it is not just to get the customer’s carpet cleaned, but also to make money while doing it.
There are a lot of equipment that will do good quality work. But, if the time it takes for you to clean with it is not fast enough, you will not make money or enough money.
Here is where machines that do quality work, but do it faster come into play.
Here are some features you should look for when you are selecting such machines.
Auto-fill and auto-dump
With auto-fill and auto-dump the carpet cleaning equipment takes less labor. Because, the filling and emptying of the tanks is automatic. Especially if you use your machine to do tile and grout cleaning, the tanks empty and fill up so fast that you will have to employ a full time worker just to keep them full or emptied.
Powerful vacuum that will clean from your truck
If the machine has good vacuums, then you can clean from your truck. You don’t need to take the machine out. You simply attach the vacuum and solution hose to the machine and clean with it. This also further reduces your cleaning time.
Heat
Like when you wash your dishes and turn on the hot water, the dishes are cleaned instantly or at least a lot faster if they were being cleaned without heat. The same is true for the carpet and tile/grout. It’s almost instant. Not only does it decrease your cleaning time, but also the quality of your cleaning also goes up.
Now, there maybe other things that might be important as well. None as important as the above when it also involves you making more money in less time.
