Orbital Carpet Cleaner for home or professional use
A quick and very easy carpet
cleaning system, ideal for cleaning low profile carpet and carpet tiles.
Vacuum the carpet first, ideally with an upright vacuum cleaner (for best
results), spray the carpet with Microsplit and also spray a 17" carpet pad (12
supplied with the machine) and simply "buff" the carpet. Normally only one
pass is required to achieve excellent results. An easy way to clean most
carpets (including wool), and usually requiring only an hour drying
time. The machine looks similar to a 17" rotary floor polisher,
however due to its orbital motion it is very easy to use and does not require
any special training or technique. Dirt and
virtually all spots are drawn into the pad on contact, usually
one pass is sufficient to thoroughly clean even the dirtiest carpet. Carpets are
left looking and smelling great. One pad will clean up to 30 square metres and
must then be washed in a standard washing machine (no need to use washing powder). We supply sufficient pads to work all day.

THERMADRY Carpet Cleaner - unbelievable results with minimal effort and a
chemical cost of just 0.07p per square metre
Thermadry
is the latest carpet cleaning technology from Craftex. A quick and easy
way to clean most carpets (including wool), and usually requiring only an hour drying
time. The machine looks similar to a 17" rotary floor polisher and is fitted
with an integral heater. To clean a carpet with Thermadry, simply vacuum the
carpet first, preferably with an upright vacuum cleaner, and then pre-spray the carpet with a neutral cleaning solution called
Microsplit. Select a 17" Thermadry carpet cleaning pad and spray the
pad with Catalyst, ready for use. Attach the pad to the base of the Thermadry machine and start buffing as if you
are cleaning a hard floor. The integral heater raises the
temperature of the pad to approximately 80 degrees Centigrade. Dirt and
virtually any stains and spots are drawn into the pad on contact, usually
one pass is sufficient to thoroughly clean even the dirtiest carpet. Carpets are
left looking and smelling great. One pad will clean up to 30 square metres and
can then be washed in a standard washing machine (no need to use washing powder). We supply sufficient pads to work all day.
The Thermadry is easily capable of cleaning over 1000
square metres of carpet in 8 hours. Microsplit and Catalyst Thermadry carpet cleaning solution
available on sale or return. Thermadry machine hire rates include
12 pads and a 6 litre pre-spray pump:
1 DAY £60.00 EXTRA
DAY £30.00 WEEK £175.00
Additional 17" pads are available for hire @ £1.25 each per day.
Stair Cleaner
Clean stairs the easy way - use your vacuum first, then
spray the stairs with our Microsplit carpet cleaner
chemical. The stair cleaner uses an 8" carpet cleaning pad to 'buff' the
treads in one or two passes. It is very quick and easy, just let the stair
carpet dry and it's ready for use. Supplied with 3 x 8" pads, which should be washed in a washing machine
(no need to use washing powder) prior to returning to our shop. Prior to hiring, check
whether your choice of carpet cleaning machine above includes a stair tool
already, you may not need to hire this tool separately. It is especially
useful for commercial carpets, in conjunction with the Host Freestyle and Thermadry machines.
