What Is The Vortex ?
The Vortex Is The World's Most Powerful Carpet Cleaning Machine. The Vortex is an inventor's dream of a better carpet cleaning machine come true. The Vortex is the only mass produced mobile carpet cleaning and tile cleaning machine in the world capable of safely capturing wasted energy from its own engine exhaust to heat water. Additionally, the machine's high-torque, high-efficiency power plant allows three operators to clean from one machine simultaneously, while decreasing fuel consumption by over 40% and improving textile dry times by over 47%.
Brute Power. All major textile manufacturers are in agreement that “hot water extraction with maximum moisture and residue removal” is the right way to take care of their goods. This is where brute power comes into play. More vacuum means a better carpet cleaning, faster drying, faster cleaning, and much happier clients than our competition has. More vacuum means you can use more hot water in the carpet cleaning process* and still beat the competition hands down on carpet cleaning dry times. (Some Vortex owners have a "dry when we leave your home" policy with the help of carpet fans!)
There’s no two ways about it. The Vortex machine uses the largest, most powerful blower of any mass produced PTO cleaning machine in the world. From left to right the blower sizes are #3, #4, #5, and #6. The industry standard is a #4 size blower. The Vortex model 6008 uses a #6 blower, and the new Vortex 7000 HAT uses a much larger, high performance #6 blower.
*Vortex owners are able to provide a method of cleaning commonly referred to as an "On Location Carpet Washing Service" by increasing the amount of water used in the carpet cleaning process to double that of industry standard. The Vortex vacuum pump has more than enough power to recover the additional water and still provide significantly faster carpet cleaning dry times than the competition.
Carpet Cleaning We use The Vortex, The Worlds Most Powerful Carpet Cleaning Machine for its ability to clean carpets faster,dry them in half the time, use less fuel, clean more thoroughly and require less operator muscle than any other carpet cleaning machine in the world. Even with three operators cleaning carpet simultaneously, the Vortex will provide more vacuum and hot water than any other PTO carpet cleaning machine can produce running only one wand! There is so much vacuum on our Vortex that our clients are reporting carpet cleaning dry times of less than 90 minutes without the use of a carpet fan. When we are able to use carpet fans we can have your carpet nearly dry when we leave your home. With our Vortex we can run our cleaning wands with larger water jets than industry standard that apply almost double the amount of water to the carpet. (The industry standard is a "6 jetted" wand. Vortex owners are using "12 jetted" wands.) This allows us to provide a significantly more thorough, "Fast Dry, Carpet Cleaning" service to our clients, and still beat our competition hands down on carpet cleaning results and drying times.
Our multi stage cleaning process will guarantee your complete satisfaction
We begin by inspecting your carpet for its fiber content (Nylon, Olefin, Polyester etc.) so that we can choose the appropriate pretreatment and cleaning solution for your carpet and any spots, spills or damage that may require special attention. We will also inspect traffic paths for fiber wear or abrasion. After inspection we will be able to provide you some cleaning expectations. Now we can begin the cleaning process.We start the cleaning process by pretreating the carpet fibers with a preconditioning agent which will emulsify soils and general spots. A professional carpet groomer is often used to agitate the preconditioner to further emulsify stubborn soils from traffic paths and is dependent on the type and condition of the carpet. Using the most powerfully truckmounted hot water extraction system in production today, we thoroughly flush the carpet fibers with a neutralizing rinse agent which is immediately vacuumed out with the powerful suction of our state of the art machinery. We use a neutralizing rinse agent as apposed to a alkaline rinse used by many of our competitors. With this rinse the carpet fibers are PH balanced so there is no sticky residue left behind to cause rapid resoiling and it leaves the fibers softer and more pleasant to the touch.During the rinsing process if we come across any spots that do not respond to the precondition treatment, we will use one of our many specialty spot removal products to attempt removal. If a spot is removable we have the product to remove it. This includes in most instances urine, feces, blood, filtration soiling under doors, rust, yellowing etc. (red dye stains, furniture stains and stains caused by medicines are usually permanent).After the rinse is complete we will use high velocity air movers to assist in drying and we will use a professional carpet groomer so that the pile of the carpet is standing tall when we leave. Grooming also aids in distributing pockets of moisture and assists in the fast drying process as well.Ceramic and Porcelain Tile & Grout Cleaning & Sealing (sometimes referred to as hard surface cleaning) The Vortex is perfectly suited for tile and grout cleaning because the cleaning process is highly dependent on the machine's ability to produce very hot water and at very high water pressures (900 psi to 1700 psi). Without that hot water and high pressure. you'll find yourself using a lot of chemical and muscle to get the job done. No other cleaning machine in the world is better suited for hard surface cleaning. Some companies buy a Vortex strictly for hard surface cleaning and do not even use their Vortex to clean carpets.
We provide a 4 stage cleaning process. We begin by treating the grout lines with a acidic grout cleaner designed specifically for grout cleaning in the indoor environments. WARNING! (Some Uninformed, Uneducated, and sometimes downright Unscrupulous cleaners have been known to use muriatic acid and other very harsh acids which give off very strong fumes and often cause etching, burns, staining, dye migration etc. on surrounding metal, glass, stone, carpeting and any other adjoining surfaces.) With all tile and grout cleaning stainless steal appliances must be protected. After applying solution to grout line it is rinsed with our high pressure hard surface wand with 240 degree 900-1000 psi water leaving your grout looking like new again.Then we clean the entire floor a second time with a alkaline tile and stone cleaning product.This cleaning will do two things. First it will neutralize the acidic PH left behind by the first cleaning, if this step is skipped you run the risk of having your grout lines degrade over time becoming very soft and easily damaged. The alkaline cleaning will also break down greasy oily soils built up within the tiny pores in the tiles surface.Once the cleaning process is done we will fill in any grout cracks or missing grout with matching grout and recaulk any separation between walls and tile with a color and texture matched caulking which will allow some give along the walls preventing future separation.With all repairs completed and adequate drying time allowed (often time overnight) we will generously apply a high quality impregnating sealer to the grout lines only (ceramic and porcelain tile are not porous so sealing is not effective) unless you have a natural stone tile floor in which case the entire floor would be sealed.Upholstery And Fine Fabric Cleaning The process of cleaning synthetic upholstery fabrics is very similar to carpet cleaning. (Over 90% of upholstery cleaning is on synthetic textiles) Assuming that the operator has the proper education and chemistry training in place, the more hot water and vacuum he has available, the better and faster he can clean. The Vortex can easily run 12 upholstery tools simultaneously for commercial applications such as theaters stadium seating, restaurant dining chairs and booths or just 1 or 2 tools for residential applications.
