Carpet Extractors
A carpet extractor utilizes hot or cold water, dispensed through spray jets directly
onto the carpet. In most machines the carpet is agitated by a brush, and
recovered by a vacuum system and deposited into a recovery tank. All this action
is completed in a very short time resulting in a washing action to the carpet.
Extraction is the most thorough way to preserve carpet life and appearance;
however, it is also the most labor intensive method for carpet cleaning.
Spotters
A spotter extractor is designed to be lightweight and easily
transported to the job site to remove spots from carpet before the
spill turns into a stain. Spotters are designed to encourage cleaners
to attend to spots and spills quickly. These units have relatively
limited solution/recovery capacity (2 gallon) with lower than average
psi (around 50 psi or lower.) The unit consists of a solution tank,
recovery tank, vacuum motor and pump. Windsor products include:
Windsor Spotter Extractors
• 2 gallon solution & recovery tanks
• Presto Deluxe comes with the standard hand tool
and the Double Dry hand tools for upholstery,
drapes, and cubicle partitions
• Upright wand and hand tool standard
• 14 psi pump delivers spotter to the surface of the
carpet pile and reduces wicking
• Recovery tank removes for easy cleaning
Portable (Box) Extractors
These machines depend on high psi (pounds per square inch) and
superior vacuum performance to clean carpet. They can also be fitted
with heating units to improve cleaning capability. These are designed to
be an adequate substitution for cleaners who normally utilize truck-
mount extractors. Solution/recovery capacity is much larger than most
extractors, yet are quite easily transported from site to site. This makes
the unit ideal for the contract cleaner. Portables are used in conjunction
with a wand (drag tool). This tool does not have brush agitation. The high psi and
heat do the job. Windsor products include:
Windsor Portable (Box) Extractors
• Productive cleaning power and versatility
• 13 gallon solution capacity, 11 gallon recovery tank
• Adjustable 0-500 psi spray pressure provides
versatility to clean delicate upholstery and the
power to clean the dirtiest carpet
