Carpet Cleaners Buyers Guide
Carpets play an important role in enhancing the interior of homes and commercial settings such as a hotels, restaurants, or offices. In order to make sure that carpets are not causing indoor air pollution from allergens (mold, mildew, dust mites, pollen, etc.), you need to clean them thoroughly and frequently.
Various
carpet cleaners and carpet cleaning machines are available on the market today, but carpet steam cleaners are the best as they use heat to deep clean your carpets; they kill mostly all allergens and microbes and help leave your carpet clean, fresh, and stain-free. Cleaning carpet with professional carpet cleaners and carpet cleaning equipment on a regular basis makes carpets last much longer as accumulation of
soil and dust is a major cause of reduced carpet life.
Homeowners who want to create professional carpet cleaning results as well as commercial cleaning contractors/janitors must buy high-quality carpet cleaners or carpet steam cleaners. Since carpet carpet cleaners and carpet cleaning machines last for years (provided they are of excellent quality), the investment is not made often. In order to help ensure you buy the right carpet cleaner or carpet steam cleaner, we suggest you conduct thorough market research and find out the highest-quality
carpet cleaners at competitive prices. Keep in mind, though, price should not be the major factor as quality can be negatively impacted.
This article is an attempt to help you in your research and evaluation so you can buy the best steam carpet cleaner available on the market.
What features to look for when evaluating carpet cleaners?
High-Quality Carpet Cleaners and Carpet Steam Cleaners
You must buy carpet cleaners that offer reliability by way of using the highest quality components -- commercial or residential. In order to check if the carpet cleaner is of good quality, check out user reviews and ratings. Read product literature to review carpet cleaner features and product specifications. Also, compare them with other carpet cleaners or carpet steam cleaners on the market.
Heating Options
Carpet steam cleaners with a built-in heating option are more efficient, effective, and greatly increase productivity and cleaning power. So check the type of heating option the carpet cleaner machine vendor offers you. Daimer's commercial carpet steam cleaners come with built-in, advanced heating systems.
Solution Tank and Recovery Tank Size
Go for a steam carpet cleaner with separate solution and recovery tanks. The sizes of the solution tank and the recovery tanks you need depend upon your cleaning requirements. Daimer's carpet steam cleaner XPH-5800T comes with a Solution Tank Capacity of 4.5 gallons and Recovery Tank Capacity of 4 gallons. However, our commercial model XPH-9300 has a Solution Tank Capacity of 17 gallons and Recovery Tank Capacity of 15 gallons. Typically, commercial cleaning applications require the use of
higher capacity carpet steam cleaners to maximize productivity and cleaning power to allow for faster, more effective carpet cleaning.
Temperature Control Technology
High temperature means greater cleaning power and efficiency. Higher temperature and pressure help take out the dirt, grim, grease and germs and leave the carpets healthy and clean. However, some delicate carpets or certain carpet fibers cannot tolerate high temperatures. To make sure the carpet cleaner can be used for delicate as well as not so delicate carpets, consider buying carpet steam cleaners with Temperature Control Technology. When using carpet steam cleaners never go beyond
temperatures 210°F to ensure carpet fiber safety.
With Daimer's carpet steam cleaners, you can protect your carpets by controlling the temperature according to the type of carpet fibers you need to clean. We offer you a wide range of residential and commercial carpet steam cleaners with outstanding performance. Take a look at some of our carpet cleaning machines models:
XTreme POWER ²® XPC-5700: Use warm or hot tap water in combination with biodegradable, green cleaning carpet cleaning chemicals. Simply spray the carpet cleaner solution onto the carpet prior to the use of the machince for fresher, cleaner carpets.
XPH5800T/ 5900i Commercial Carpet Steam Cleaner: This model offers a temperature up to 210°F and includes 2 powerful heating elements. You can get rid of most carpet stains including ketchup stains, wine spills, coffee spill, pet's urine, ink stains, and others with the use of a environmentally-safe carpet cleaning chemical.
XPC-9200 Carpet Cleaner: Has no built-in heat capability, which is fine for many wanting a rugged, reliable carpet cleaner without heat. Those who have wool carpet and other types which may be negatively affected by heat would be served very nicely with a system emitting unheated water. The temperature of the water emitted from the system is the same as that you placed into the water chamber.
XPC-9300 Carpet Steam Cleaner: Has a built-in heating system and allows you to adjust water temperature which helps to clean effectively and also protect natural carpet/upholstery fibers from high heat. For delicate carpets and rugs, you can operate the carpet cleaning machine without heat.
Carpet Steam Cleaner Pressure
Carpet cleaners with high temperature and pressure help to deep clean carpets. Go for a pressure range between 50-65 pounds per square inch (PSI) for residential and light commercial carpet cleaning jobs. Heat at a constant low pressure when applied to a surface can more easily penetrate carpet and help remove stains, and cleans more deeply by far than regular carpet cleaners with no high temperature capability. Higher-powered carpet steam cleaners can emit up to and over 300 psi, so make sure
you are buying carpet cleaners for your particular application.
Environmentally-Safe Carpet Cleaners

The Difference Between Carpet Steam Cleaners and Steam Cleaners
Functionality
A steam cleaner uses the power of steam to clean various types of surfaces. A carpet steam cleaner on the other hand uses a mixture of hot water and cleaning solution that penetrates in the carpet to deep clean and sanitize. Later the solution is extracted along with the dirt making the carpet cleaner and fresher. A carpet cleaner therefore does not use steam per se. If steam cleaners are used on carpets, they are mainly used to clean spots or areas rather than full carpet cleaning achieved only
by carpet cleaners or carpet steam cleaners.
Pressure
A carpet cleaner pressure range varies from 60 psi to 100 psi whereas a steam cleaner come with pressure range varying from 65psi to 150 psi. This is because of the difference in the types of cleaning jobs performed by each.
Applications
A carpet steam cleaner can be used to clean carpets, upholstery, upholstered furniture, partitions, and curtains. A steam cleaner on the other hand can be used on a variety of applications that include cleaning hardwood, vinyl, marble floors, tiles and grout kitchen appliances like microwave, coffee makers, refrigerators, and stoves, bathrooms stains, bathtub, ceramic tiles, faucets, floors, inside automobiles, tire wheels, inside engines, windows and mirrors and much more.
Temperature
A carpet steam cleaner can either have a built in heating system or can have no provision for built in heating. Temperatures can generally go only up to 210º F to ensure protection of carpet fibers. Temperature range in a steam cleaner on the other hand can go up to 360º F. This is because of the cleaning jobs steam cleaners perform. Steam cleaners are used to get rid of grease, oils, grout, etc.
Attachments
Carpet cleaners come with hoses and cleaning wands of various sizes. Steam cleaners on the other hand come with multiple attachments like triangular/round brushes, extension rods, steam scraper, plunger, steel brushes, steam squeegee for windows, etc.
Boiler and Recovery Chamber
