Carpet Washers

Capacity is measured in litres (l). Carpet cleaners have both clean and dirty water capacities as the water is separated during use. The clean water tank holds the clean water that is used to clean the carpet. The dirty water tank holds the water and dirt particles taken up from the carpet. The clean water capacity is often larger than the dirty water capacity, as dirt particles from the wash fill up space in the dirty water compartment.

The larger the tank size, the larger the area you can clean without having to change the water.

The width of the carpet cleaner determines how much of the floor will be cleaned as you use it. Wider machines mean that more of the carpet will be cleaned with each sweep, so it will take less time to clean the room.

Some machines also allow you to clean all the way up to the skirting board, so you can clean your room edge-to-edge.

Many carpet washers come with tools and attachments which allow you to clean other items such as stairs and upholstery. Accessories can include hoses, nozzles and brushes that make cleaning your carpets easier as you can get to hard to reach places or scrub stubborn stains. Brushes can be used for cleaning upholstery, dealing with stained spots and shampooing carpet pile.
