Rider Sweepers
These machines range in size from 36” to 66”. They are battery or
internal combustion engine powered. The larger sized units are
most seen in warehouse or factory applications. Smaller sized
riders are being used in large carpeted areas. Best applications for
the smaller riders are entrance cleaning, small parking garages,
drive up areas and warehouses. Windsor products include:
Interim Cleaning Machines
The iCapsol system is used in conjunction with our iCapsol Carpet
Chemical which is based on encapsulation technology. The iCapsol
solution is mixed at 8 ounces per gallon and misted lightly over the
area to be cleaned. It is then agitated into the carpet pile with the
iCapsol machine. The solution comes in contact with the soils that
are stuck to the carpet fibers, pulls them from the fibers and holds
them in solution. Once the soils are held in solution the iCapsol Chemical dries
to a light, non-sticky crystal that is vacuumed out of the carpet at the next
scheduled vacuuming.
The entire process, from spraying the iCapsol chemical, to working it in, until it is
dry enough to vacuum, generally takes about 20 minutes. This process is a
great replacement for bonnet cleaning, which can leave heavy residues in the
carpet and cause damage to the carpet backing. Encapsulation extends the
period of time between restorative extraction processes. Windsor products
