I recently just switched to a portable cleaning unit for many reasons while cleaning the carpet in Charleston. This was a big move for me, but I wanted to review why I did this.
1. The portable has enough power to clean. I still have my 130 PSI and access to heat over 200 degrees. Anything more than that is overkill and can damage most carpet fibers.
2. Its way better for the environment! My truckmounts tend to be dirty and produce lots and lots of pollution.
3. More economical. By switching to portables from truck mounts we are able to save lots of money. We have passed that savings onto our customers and was able to lower our price per room by $10.
