How to choose a Carpet Extractor

Choosing a carpet extractor is never easy with so many choices available. There are dozens of manufactures, each having several choices within their family. Proper floor care is essential for a carpet to be well maintained and that all starts with having a good vacuum cleaner and having the carpets cleaned annually at minimum. Most carpets are designed to hide the soils in the fibers of the carpet and vacuuming will only remove a portion of that soil. A carpet needs a carpet extractor to thoroughly cleanse the rug and maintain its life.

With so many choices you’ll first need to ask yourself how often you’ll be using the carpet extractor? If you’ll be using the extractor only periodically then typically a small 3 gallon or less will do. If you’ll be using an extractor for business use and larger carpeted area’s you’ll definitely appreciate having a larger unit. Larger units allow you to have less down time changing the water and more time cleaning the desired area.

Cleaning carpets is also much easier with heated extractors. Heated extractors do cost more and require a bit more machine maintenance, though the heat can sometimes help make the job much easier. If you’re cleaning buildings with heavy traffic areas a heated extractor can help make the extraction of deep soils that much easier. Carpets that are cleaned often and are being pre-treated can sometimes be cleaned ok with a cold water carpet extractor.

Your last concern when choosing the best carpet extractor should be the types of tools you’ll want. There are many carpet extractors that are fully bundled like the Mytee Contractor Specials. The Mytee 2000CS and Mytee 2001CS come fully equipped with hoses and wand. The Mytee 2000cs is a cold water extractor and the Mytee 2001CS is a hot water carpet extractor. The additional tools that some may require would be an upholstery tool to clean furniture and also possibly a crevice tool for corners that have built up dirt. In conclusion, make sure you determine all the tasks and frequency of tasks you’ll be looking to perform when choosing the best carpet extractor.
