Industrial carpet cleaners are popular for a wide array of different carpet cleaning applications. Capable of cleaning carpets in restaurants, hotels, stores, shopping malls, real estate facilities, residential buildings, industrial areas, and a wide array of other businesses, these industrial carpet shampoo machines are highly versatile. However, this versatility is further expanded by the machines' ability to clean both upholstery and vehicle interiors.

Carpet Cleaners & Auto Detailing - A Perfect Match

As one of the premier pieces of auto detailing equipment, or car washing equipment, a carpet cleaning extractor can be purchased with a highly useful four-inch upholstery wand designed for the small nooks and crannies characteristic of vehicle interiors.

Aside from the addition of this upholstery wand, carpet auto detailing equipment works much the same way as a standard carpet cleaning extractor. First, the carpets and upholstery within the vehicle must be pre-sprayed. We suggest using a green carpet cleaning solution for maximum effectiveness and safety for the environment, the car, and the user. Then the operator injects additional solution and water into the carpet and upholstery and agitates with the upholstery tool. Using the upholster wand, the operator extracts dirt residues, water, and solution. This highly effective carpet cleaning process is used by top car wash business professionals in the industry.

Features to Consider for Vehicle Upholstery Cleaning

The carpet and upholstery cleaning process for vehicles must be relatively short, in reference to the drying time. That is, vehicles have limited air flow in the interiors, making it difficult for interior carpets and upholstery to dry if left too damp. Conventional carpet shampoo machines that soak carpets and require drying times up to 24 hours are simply unfeasible for auto detailing applications. For such jobs, low-flow machines are imperative. This new, advanced technology ensures maximum cleaning efficiency while limiting the water flow to greatly reduce drying times.

Heat is another factor to consider, as the use of high hot water temperatures in carpet cleaning significantly increases the cleaning power of the machine and the speed of the process. In general, carpets and upholstery within vehicles can withstand the demands placed on fabrics by high temperatures. Thus, a carpet cleaner with temperatures up to 210°F can be used to provide the most thorough results. For lighter applications, non-heated machines are available.

Auto detailing does not simply involve the cleaning of interior components. Exterior cleaning is an integral aspect in car detailing. As such, it is important to purchase from a reputable supplier offering a wide range of car cleaning options, from steam car wash pressure washers to carpet extractors, and a wide range of green cleaning products.
