If you live in a fully or partially carpeted house, maintaining its cleanliness is a constant struggle. If you have children or pets, the task can become even more difficult. Carpet cleaning truck mounts are the most effective way to remove stains and odors and keep them from reappearing for a longer period of time.  A truck mounted equipment is a high powered machine that is capable of steam cleaning virtually all types of carpets (plush, industrial, Berber), but also area rugs, throw rugs, sofas, and automobiles and tile.  You can’t beat the power or the heat and the almost endless water supply of a truck mounted equipment.   A legitimate carpet cleaning service will employ the use of a truck-mounted cleaning system. These units consist of a large tank and an attached hose. The hose is used to suck water, dirt and debris from the carpet and transport it to the tank. Anything less than a truck-mounted unit may be no more effective than a typical vacuum cleaner.

Advantages of Truck Mounts:

  • Since all the solution tanks, cleaning products and waste tanks are mounted on the vehicle, there is no need for an exterior power or water source to carry out the cleaning process.
  • Truck mount carpet cleaning is a water-based vacuum-extraction cleaning system that is more powerful and can be more effective than solvent-based methods.
  • Carpet should be rinsed at 500 or more PSI, which a Truck Mount is more than capable of achieving and more.  The higher PSI helps to agitate the fibers, spots, and oils, and soil to remove them better.
  • Hotter the  water, higher water pressure and better vacuum suction all mean a MUCH BETTER overall clean.
  • Great for tile and grout cleaning.

Advantages of Portable Equipment:

  • May reach more places than a truck mount.  Like a high rise condo on a very high floor that has no access from a garage where a truck mounts cannot reach.
  • Due to its compactness, light weight, and easy to move around unlike conventional carpet cleaners.

     

    Both are very effective in cleaning your carpets and your everyday household items.  It’s just a preference on what you prefer. But the most effective equipment when it comes to removing heavy soiling is the truck mounted equipment. The cleaning is unbeatable.
