CleanFreak Commercial Carpet Spot Cleaning Machine w/ 4" Plastic Hand Tool - 3 Gallons - SAN-CF-3

CleanFreak Commercial Carpet Spot Cleaning Machine w/ 4" Plastic Hand Tool - 3 Gallons - SAN-CF-3

With this CleanFreak commercial carpet spot cleaning machine, we've truly combined the maximum amount of cleaning power with affordability. The 3 gallon solution tank, 55 PSI pump, and 2-stage vac motor ultimately give you the power to spot-clean any carpet and remove stains that are not permanently set. We offer a  step-by-step stain removal instructions guide for in-depth directions on how to clean and remove specific stains. You can safely and efficiently move this commercial carpet spot cleaner with the slide-out handle and rear wheels. It only weighs 21 pounds when empty, but when full, you're approaching 50 pounds, so the wheels make it extremely easy to wheel around.

After you're done dumping the recovered solution from the lift-off recovery tank, you can spin off the top cap and rinse out the inside of the tank. Make sure to do this while the tank is removed from the base unit otherwise, you could pour water down into the vacuum motor. Once the tank is thoroughly cleaned out return it to the base unit, and leave the top cap off. This will allow the tank to dry out and prevent it from developing serious odors.

This non-heated model is the little brother to our heated carpet spot cleaner, which can be found in our full line of carpet spotters. Both of these models are extremely effective in removing stains from small areas. If you're looking to do some larger area cleaning, we have our box extractors and auto detailing/upholstery cleaning machines available as well.
