CARPET STEAM CLEANERS

Our carpet steam cleaning machines are portable, easy to operate, powerful commercial grade units for professional results. The cleaning wand will deep clean your carpets by performing 2 cleaning actions at once. A mixture of water and special cleaning solution is sprayed into the nap, separating dirt and grime from carpet fibers while powerful suction vacuums it all away. A hand tool is also provided for cleaning your furniture and stairs or even your car upholstery and carpeting.

CARPET SHAMPOOERS

Our carpet shampooing machines are highly portable, smooth operating, double rotary brush commercial grade units. These machines perform 2 cleaning actions at once. A mixture of water and shampoo is dispensed onto the carpet while rotating brushes create suds. Shampoo suds combined with rotating brushes, gently loosens dirt and grime, separating it from carpet fibers to be vacuumed up when dry.

DRYING TIME

Drying time will vary with both carpet steam cleaners and shampooers from 4 to 24 hours (about 8 hours is standard) depending on the type of carpet fiber, thickness of nap and weather conditions. Drying time can also be shortened with carpet steam cleaners by controlling the amount of cleaning fluid dispensed and recovered and with carpet shampooers by controlling the amount of shampoo dispensed.

There is no need to reserve a rental machine. We have more than enough machines properly maintained, in perfect working condition, ready to go at all times. Your rental experience with Handy Andy's Quality Vacuum Cleaners will satisfy you in every way. Our staff is professional and courteous, and will be very helpful explaining setup and operation. Written instructions are also provided below. We will place the rental machine in your car and remove it when you return. You can expect our rental machines to do an excellent job.

Carpet Steam Cleaner Operating Instructions:

The machine has two tanks, one is fixed in place for clean water, the supply tank and the other tank is removable for dirty water, the recovery tank. Fill the fixed tank with 3 gallons of clean hot water from your faucet to a level three inches from the top. Follow the instructions on the bottle of our proffesional carpet steam cleaning solution for adding the proper amount of cleaning solution to obtain the desired strength reguired for the cleaning job. You may add between 1 an 3 ounces per gallon of our professional cleaning solution or 3, 6 or 9 ounces per tank full of clean water. The clean water supply tank holds 3 gallons of water. Add as litte as 3 ounces for lightly soiled carpets, 6 ounces for your average soiled carpets or as much as 9 ounces if the carpets are badly soiled or stained. The removable tank is left empty and will fill with dirty water sucked out of your carpets during cleaning.

There are two hoses, the large hose is the suction hose and the small hose is the spray hose. Push one end of the suction hose onto the dome cover on top of the removable tank and the other end onto the handle of the cleaning wand. Push the male coupling end of the spray hose into the female coupling on the front of the machine by pulling the coupling sleeve back, inserting the spray hose and letting the sleeve spring back to lock the hose in place. Push the female coupling end of the spray hose onto the male coupling of the spray trigger located on the handle of the cleaning wand.

Turn on the suction and pump switches located on the front of the machine. Place the cleaning wand on the carpet and while pulling backwards , squeeze the trigger to spray cleaning solution onto the carpet, then release the trigger and push forward. Clean back and forth overlapping the strokes and release cleaning solution as needed only on the backward stroke.

Watch the recovery tank as it fills during cleaning. Do not let it overflow. Stop the machine and remove the recovery tank and empty it when it fills to within three inches of the top.

When you have finished you may dispose of any remaining unused cleaning solution in the fixed tank by sucking it out with the suction hose into the recovery tank.

Upholstery Tool Operation:

The setup instructions are the same as above. Just substitute the upholstery nozzle for the cleaning wand and hook up the hoses the same way. Clean back and forth overlapping the strokes and release cleaning solution as needed only on the backward stroke.
