Advance’s Adphibian™ soft and hard-floor
machine is the answer for the multiple cleaning

Multi-Surface
Extractor–Scrubber

demands you face today. Demands like getting
maximum efficiency and flexibility from your
operators and your equipment. The Adphibian
enables cleaning staff to use one machine to
extract carpets and scrub hard floors.

With the touch of a button and a simple hose change, operators are

able to switch between using a full-functioning carpet extractor and a

full-functioning cylindrical scrubber in just 30 seconds. Even the special

antimicrobial brushes are designed to work on all surface types.

Detergent dispensing, perfected

The patented AXP™ Onboard Detergent Dispensing System controls

solution flow and lets the operator choose the perfect cleaning solution

for all floor surfaces. And the machine’s ease-of-use means fast

training and consistent cleaning performance by all of your operators.

The result? Time and equipment savings you can take to the bank.

Daily carpet cleaning has never been more efficient with Advance’s

patented LIFT

time, True cleaning). A unique indirect spray leaves carpets clean and

dry in less than 30 minutes while increasing per-tank productivity. For

heavily soiled areas, Adphibian’s Deep Treat™ prespray applies and

agitates detergent on the carpet surface. A push of a button allows

the same area to be extracted with clean water in deep-cleaning

extraction mode. In either mode, you can be sure carpets

will be cleaned to the highest industry standards

because Adphibian is the first machine of its kind

to be awarded the CRI Seal of Approval for both

low-moisture and deep-cleaning extraction.

Hard floors are clean and dry

Adphibian is the ideal answer for facilities with multiple floor surface

types. This hardworking machine delivers excellent performance

thanks to dual counter-rotating brushes for effective scrubbing and

a unique squeegee that provides 100 percent water pickup, leaving

floors clean, dry and safe for building occupants.

LIFT

™ low-moisture technology utilizes a patented

indirect spray feature that provides superior cleaning
while increasing per tank productivity and reducing
water consumption. Operators will experience faster
dry times and true cleaning with LIFT technology.

Air Quality: Carpets that dry within 30 minutes of extraction

reduce the risk of mold and other airborne allergens.

Safety: With low sound level and quick dry time, the

Adphibian is safe for daytime cleaning. 100 percent
water pickup on turns minimizes slip-and-fall accidents.

Sustainability: Dual counter-rotating brushes don’t

wear down carpet fibers as extensively as a vacuum
would, preserving the life of the carpet.

Environmental Impact: The AXP onboard detergent-dispensing
