Carpet Cleaner: Deep fibre cleanliness for carpets and upholstery.

Carpeted floors in public buildings, hotels and restaurants, offices or in retail stores are heavily used due to public traffic every day. Here, our Kärcher Carpet Cleaners have proven their worth for deep cleaning. They work with spray extraction and are also known as wet vacuum cleaners, spray vacuum cleaners or Puzzi. In this process, water is sprayed under pressure into a coating, the dirt is dissolved and immediately vacuumed up again as a dirty solution. Thanks to the unsurpassed suction result and the low residual moisture of the Kärcher Carpet Cleaners, carpeted areas can be walked on again soon. In conjunction with iCapsol technology, this method is also perfect for intermediate cleaning. Upholstery and car seats also become deep fibre clean with Kärcher Carpet Cleaners. With appropriate accessories, they can even be used for tile cleaning.

Kärcher spray extraction devices can be used in different methods.

What spray extraction methods does Kärcher offer?

Depending on the degree of soiling, available time, and material, spray extraction devices are used in different methods.

Single-stage cleaning

In the pure, single-stage spray extraction process, the cleaning solution, consisting of water and detergent, is sprayed into the coating under pressure using the spray nozzle of the spray extraction machine. Simultaneously, the dissolved dirt is immediately vacuumed up in the same step with the suction nozzle of the device as a dirty solution. This method is used in both basic and interim carpet cleaning, as well as in the deep cleaning of upholstery.

Two-stage cleaning

In the two-stage process, the cleaning solution is applied section by section in the first step using the spray extraction machine or a pressure sprayer. After allowing it to work, the dirty solution is rinsed out with the spray extraction machine and clear water. This method is particularly suitable for deep cleaning, especially for heavily soiled fitted carpets or upholstery.

Combination methods

Here, the carpet is wet-shampooed with a cleaning agent and a single-disc machine. Afterwards, the treated area is thoroughly rinsed with clear water using the spray extraction method. This cleaning method is not suitable for upholstery.

Which textiles can be treated with Kärcher carpet cleaner?

All textile coverings are suitable, whose substrates, adhesives or fixatives are both colourfast and resistant to moisture and solvents. You should test whether this is the case in an inconspicuous place, e.g. on the underside of a chair or the carpet under a cupboard. However, only decide whether the carpet cleaner is suitable for your project when everything is dry again. You should also check beforehand whether the carpet backing and carrier materials neither shrink nor bleed colour. Absorbent, usually foamed carrier materials lead to longer drying times. Of course, the visible surface must be colourfast and consist of suitable fibre types.
