Carpet Care: Power Of Low-Moisture Extraction

Company Website

Gary Harrison, owner of MNR Carpet Cleaning in Nashville, Tenn., likes to do product research online. When recently looking for a hot-water extractor, he happened to visit the U.S. Products’ Web site and saw a machine that caught his eye — the new SOLUS low-moisture extractor. The more he read about this machine, the more eager he was to visit his local distributor and give it a test run.

“The SOLUS is powerful, I noticed that right away,” says Harrison. “And it makes a real difference in the performance. With instantly heated, 212-degree Fahrenheit solution and adjustable 500 psi, the SOLUS’ multistage vacuum motors can remove deeply embedded soils that most other machines can’t touch.”

Some SOLUS machines now even have an optional preheat system. This uses the machine’s in-line heater to keep water at 125 degrees F to help maintain the heat at more constant temperatures. The heat helps improve the effectiveness of the cleaning solution so performance is enhanced.

And the SOLUS is even more effective when combined with the new Evolution wand. This wand is totally redesigned to make it more effective than conventional wands.

“How it was explained to me is that the airflow through the Evolution is smooth and more efficient than other wands,” says Harrison. “It noticeably boosts efficiency and water recovery and helped the SOLUS earn the GOLD from the Carpet and Rug Institute’s Seal of Approval program.”

The powerful SOLUS and the Evolution have a secondary benefit as well. According to Harrison, carpets dry much faster using the SOLUS.

“And they look great,” says Harrison. “Everything about this machine is top-notch, just what I expect from U.S. Products.”
