The WATER CLAW Sub-Surface Spot Lifter also uses the same performance technology and construction style of the Flood Tool, but in a compact hand-held design that has fast become an industry standard for thoroughly removing contaminants deposited in carpet backing and pad. Watch through the clear acrylic top as contaminants are flushed up, out and away. The perfect tool for removing liquid spills or pet urine that have penetrated the carpet pad.
Many of my competitors, who have made substantial financial investments in what are called a "truck mount" carpet cleaning units, have made claims in their advertising and web sites that these types of carpet cleaning units are the only way to get a carpet truly cleaned. I submit the following information to substantiate the reason why I do not believe that is an accurate claim.
The following quote was from Shaw industries , the world's largest tufted carpet manufacturer.

"What cleaning system should you use? Shaw
recommends the hot water extraction system.

Research indicates that the hot water extraction system provides the best capability for cleaning. This system is commonly referred to as "steam cleaning," although no steam is actually generated. The process consists of spraying a solution of water and detergent into the carpet pile and recovering the water and soil with a powerful vacuum into a holding tank. This can be done from a truck-mounted unit outside the home with only the hose and wand brought inside or by a portable system brought into the home." |
The following is a quote from Ms. Connie B D'Imperio, president of a carpet dying business, with over twenty years experience in research and development related to the carpet industry.
"The fact is that the only way to truly get your carpet clean is the "hot water, deep cleaning, extraction process". And, using (except in extremely dirty, high traffic areas) a high quality, low suds, neutral pH surfactant which is correctly measured, applied and then super extracted, will result in the best possible cleaning results. Residentially, it should only have to be done once every year or two- if done properly! Unless you are one of the unfortunate people who bought Berber in the last few years. (Read about Berber and why you shouldn't buy it)
The key to the right equipment for the job is strictly the technician's ability to operate it correctly using the right chemicals in the right proportion. Too little or too much or the wrong cleaning chemicals will result in residue left in the carpet or dirt that doesn't release from the carpet or worse yet, over-wetting.
And, please don't let anyone talk you into using a "power head" brush method (this untwists the fibers and causes fiber loss) or a "bonnet" system on your carpet (this "polishes" the tops of the fibers, but pushes the dirt and residue deep into the bottom of the carpet).
Caution: Don't hire a carpet cleaner that claims that he "dry-cleans", it simply isn't true. They are very successful at selling their services, but not at "cleaning" carpet. There are two types of carpet "dry cleaning" processes and they each have serious problems that no carpet owner would tolerate if the facts were known.
Type 2 is actually "dry". Another granule product that can be described as microscopic corn-cob like substance and again is hygroscopic (collects moisture), breeding bacteria, mildew and odors in the bottom of your carpet and is very difficult to remove from the carpet. Your carpet may also appear to have "dandruff" after vacuuming.
As far as equipment goes, believe it or not, a top quality portable machine, in the hands of a qualified operator, does a far better job than any truck-mounted unit. But, whether you choose "wet" or "dry" processes, the equipment is secondary to the proper application of pre-spotting treatments and the accurate analysis of the stains before any cleaning takes place."
