A carpet shampooer / scrubbing machine utilizes a soft shampoo brush attached to is scrubbing motor that thoroughly combs and scrubs a carpets’ fibers, reaching its backing. This action paired with a Hi-Foam Carpet Shampoo detergent, lifts all the dirt embedded and stains easily.
A carpet extractor does not agitate, but relies on its water jet spray to dig up the dirt and stains while removing them in one action with it’s built in vacuum cleaner. It is not able to reach and clean the backing of the carpet but can be used on mattresses and upholsteries. It too acts as a back up wet & dry vacuum cleaner.
