Carpet Steam Cleaners – For Spot Cleaning in Restaurants

Anti-Bacterial Portable Steam Cleaner
Many restaurant owners are faced with countless customers each day. Because of such high traffic in the area, it is common to see food and beverage stains on rugs, carpets, and seat upholstery. Most employees take great care in dusting, mopping and disinfecting in the area. We also pay extra attention to disposing trash daily before it starts stinking. However, because it is not always as easy to immediately clean up spills, they are wiped up with a rag as best as possible and then left. Cleaning carpets and making sure they are stain free can help a restaurant attract customers and give them a positive impact. This is why carpet steam cleaners from a reputable supplier such as Daimer® are perfect for spot cleaning carpets, rugs, and upholstery.

Unlike commercial carpet steam cleaner that are designed for maintaining large stretches of carpets, carpet steam cleaners can be used to spot clean spills and stains. For example, the KleenJet® 1000CVP from Daimer® offers several advantages – rugged construction, excellent performance, guaranteed reliability, absolute safety, and easy portability.

The KleenJet® 1000CVP features pressure levels of 105 psi and steam temperatures of 349°F. It is important to make sure the area being cleaned can withstand such high temperature levels before cleaning. It is important to pre-treat the carpet with a cleaning solution, such as the Eco-Green® Carpet Care & Upholstery Cleaner from Daimer®, to ensure easy removal of dirt and stains.

Carpet steam cleaning machines such as the 1000CVP can also be used for a variety of other tasks. Included with this machine is Daimer®’s ATIS® anti-bacterial technology proven to eliminate more than 99 percent of germs and bacteria on the surface. This feature is especially useful for disinfecting countertops and tables, defrosting freezers, sanitizing bathrooms, and even trash bins.

Many of Daimer®’s carpet steam cleaners, including the 1000CVP, feature vacuum extraction to simultaneously extract the dirty liquid residue during cleaning. Without this feature, the operator must manually wipe up the liquid or use a separate machine.

Carpet Steam Cleaners—Is a Heated Machine Really Necessary?

Portable Carpet Cleaner Extractor
One of the biggest dilemmas buyers face when looking for carpet cleaning equipment, is whether to buy heated or non-heated carpet steam cleaners. To make the right decision, you need to know about the carpets you will be handling along with the advantages and disadvantages of heated machines over non-heated carpet cleaners are.

Daimer®, a major supplier of carpet cleaning equipment, offers carpet steam cleaners with heating elements that can reach temperature levels up to 210°F. High temperature breaks down dirt, which is then extracted from the carpet by the machine. It is important to have carpet steamers with powerful vacuum extraction for maximum effectiveness.

Daimer®’s cold water machines, such as the XTreme Power® XPC-9200 have no heating devices. These carpet cleaning machines are ideal for commercial users who plan to clean delicate rugs or carpets with only light layers of dust and dirt.

Tips to Use Carpet Steam Cleaners for Auto Detailing


Carpet steam cleaners are commonly used for cleaning the interiors of vehicles, such as carpets, mats, and seat upholstery. These soft surfaces cannot withstand the high output pressure of pressure washers, while dry vapor steam cleaners do not provide sufficient pressure levels to maintain adequate carpet cleaning power. The high temperatures of vapor steam cleaners, up to 386°F, may also damage carpet fibers. That makes carpet steam cleaners, with temperatures topping out at 210°F, the most suitable machines for interior vehicle cleaning.

The following are some tips to purchase and use such machines for auto detailing.

Buy Quality Machines

Purchasing a quality machine may initially cost more up front, but will limit the repair costs needed over time. A poor quality machine will not effectively get the job done. Good quality carpet steam cleaners contain built-in heating elements, which can raise the output temperature up to 210°F within a few minutes. This provides heightened cleaning power without damaging automotive carpets.

Daimer®, a leading supplier of cleaning products, offers high-quality carpet cleaning machines in their XTreme Power® series. One such machine, the XTreme Power® XPH-5900IU, offers temperature levels up to 210°F and pressure levels of 100 psi. This model also contains multiple heating elements for rapid heating and maximum efficiency.

Low Moisture Technology

Carpet cleaning machines equipped with this technology are ideal for auto detailing. The advantage of these machines is that they do not leave the surfaces excessively wet. While carpets can take as little as two hours to dry, upholstery can dry usually within one hour.

Special Accessories

Daimer® offers powerful, low-flow carpet steam cleaners with special wands and other accessories for auto detailing. Take, for instance, the upholstery wand. These wands can reach the remote corners and sides of seats, which cannot be accessed by ordinary wands. These accessories make auto detailing more efficient and faster.

Importance of HEPA Filters in Carpet Steam Cleaners


Carpet steam cleaners, with the added advantage of HEPA filters, are helpful in eliminating dirt and allergens from the air. These filters have become an integral part of the vacuums attached to these machines. Without a HEPA filter, small dirt particles and allergens escape into the air while vacuuming.

What Are HEPA Filters?

HEPA is the acronym for High-Efficiency Particulate Air. HEPA filters are vastly more efficient than ordinary filters in extracting dust particles. These filters can absorb very small particles that normally escape ordinary filters. To understand their effectiveness, HEPA filters can absorb particles as small as 3 microns.

This feature makes best carpet steam cleaners with HEPA filters suitable for cleaning hospitals, elder care homes, and day cares. Spot cleaning carpets and mattresses with these machines regularly will keep diseases, such as asthma and allergies, from becoming severe. Users do have to make sure that the filters in their machines are genuine HEPA filters.

How HEPA Filters Help Carpet Steam Cleaners

These machines remove the dirt and impurities present on surfaces through the vacuum attached to the machine. If the vacuum does not have a HEPA filter, the majority of dust particles will not be extracted. Such dust particles that remain on the surface reduce the effectiveness of carpet steam cleaners.

Daimer®, a leading distributor of cleaning products, provides carpet steam cleaners equipped with genuine HEPA filters. For further details about these and other cleaning products, visit www.daimer.com.

Removing Odors with Carpet Steam Cleaners


Carpet steam cleaners are not your conventional steam cleaners. These machines allow the operator to use the added advantage of hot water to eliminate tough, stubborn stains on carpets. Unlike normal steam cleaners, which use vapor steam at temperatures up to 330°F and incapable of cleaning entire carpeted areas, these machines generate hot water up to 210°F to clean full carpets.

How They Work

Carpet steam cleaner machines use water or a cleaning solution and heat the mixture to a maximum temperature of 210°F. This mixture is then injected onto the carpet surface. Ideally, the surface has been pre-treated with a cleaning solution before hot water is applied.

After injecting water into the carpet, a special wand attached to the machine is used to agitate the carpet surface. This brings dirt residues to the surface, where the machine then extracts them.

How They Remove Odor

Since carpet steam cleaners provide a higher temperature output than ordinary non-heated carpet cleaners, they clean far more efficiently. These machines are equipped with a heating element and can consistently deliver heat to the carpet surface. The heat is effective in removing substances that cause foul odors from the carpet surfaces.

Ordinary, non-heated carpet cleaners can use hot water if the user heats the water before placing it into the machine. However, the output temperature of the water cools with use, decreasing the machine’s cleaning capability. This is not a problem with carpet steam cleaners, and these machines are therefore more effective for removing odor-causing substances.

For best results, select machines from Daimer®, a trustworthy supplier of cleaning products. For more details about carpet steam cleaners from the company, visit www.daimer.com.

Carpet Steam Cleaners for Commercial Cleaning Jobs

Carpet steam cleaners use very high hot water temperatures to remove dirt and stains. These machines are indispensable for a commercial carpet cleaning contractor. Instead of manual scrubbing, you can now run the wand of carpet steam cleaners over the carpet to eliminate stains, splotches, and odors.

The XTreme Power® XPH-5900i by Daimer® is one of the best carpet steam cleaners for commercial applications. This machine can heat water to 210°F. Hot water can remove stains and grease faster, because heat severs the bond between the carpet fiber and dirt, and between dirt molecules. You can now dissolve stains much easier than when using cold water and hard scrubbing.

For more effective cleaning, use Daimer®’s specially formulated Eco-Green® Carpet Care & Upholstery Cleaner with the carpet steam cleaner machines. Apply the solution to the carpet and wait a few minutes to allow the solution to dwell. Then use the carpet wand to inject hot water spray and additional detergent into the carpet. Use the steel tipped carpet cleaning wand to agitate the carpet and extract all residues, water, and remaining detergent. This method can also be used for removing paint, wax, grease, food stains, and other stubborn dirt.

Eco-Green® Carpet Care & Upholstery Cleaner is perfectly safe to use on carpets and it will not harm the user. This green chemical is biodegradable and serves to protect carpets from future stains and dirt. Composed of Micro-Blasting® molecules, the solution reacts with dirt molecules, emulsifying them in water and crystallizing them for easy extraction.

Benefits of Choosing Dual Function Carpet Steam Cleaners

When you are faced with two entirely different cleaning tasks like deep cleaning your carpets and maintaining your tile and grout floor, the obvious solution is to purchase two cleaning machines — a carpet cleaner and a hard floor cleaner. However, you no longer have to make two purchases thanks to advanced carpet steam cleaners from Daimer® that enable you to accomplish both these tasks with one machine.

The XTreme Power® series of carpet steam cleaners from Daimer® offers the perfect solution if you are on the lookout for a single machine capable of maintaining carpets as well as clean hard surfaces.

The powerful heating system in these carpet steam cleaners is capable of attaining temperatures up to 150ºF. Higher temperatures naturally imply more effective carpet cleaning than traditional non-heated carpet cleaning machines.

With pressure levels of 100 psi, carpet steam cleaners like the XTreme Power® XPH-5810CH can simultaneously perform cleaning and extraction functions on a range of hard surfaces such as concrete, tiles, marble, VCT, linoleum, and vinyl. Due to low pressure levels, these carpet cleaners are excellent for those cleaning applications that do not require the high pressure levels of pressure cleaners. A notable attachment that comes along with the XTreme Power® XPH-5810CH is the 4 jet wand tool. This versatile tool enables you to clean hard floors in living rooms, bathrooms, balconies, kitchens, and walkways.
