AquaClean
Carpet Extractors
®
CRI Seal of Approval Extractors in
Low-Moisture Mode.
Advance has a complete line of self-contained carpet extractors that
have received the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) Seal of Approval in
both low-moisture/high productivity and restorative modes.
The AquaClean® 16XP and 18FLX feature Advance’s patented Dual
Cleaning Mode (DCM) technology for fast dry times, reduced cost to
clean, increased productivity and environmental sustainability.
Indirect spray is used in the low moisture/high productivity mode
so less chemical and water are used. This extends dump and refill
intervals, while allowing the carpet to dry more quickly. Operating the
AquaClean in the CRI Seal of Approval low moisture mode is three
times more productive per tank compared with traditional commercial
extractors. Traffic can return to the carpet more quickly when cleaned
in low moisture mode.
The flip of a switch engages the deep cleaning restorative mode of the
AquaClean 16XP or 18FLX. Increased moisture and aggressive brush
agitation loosen tough soils from high traffic areas.
Ideal applications include:
• Commercial Office Space
• Retail and Malls
• Hospitality and Gaming
• Restaurants
• Government Facilities
• Healthcare
• Education
The AquaClean 16XP and 18FLX incorporate an onboard spotting and
upholstery tool and hose allowing the operator to multitask and clean
furniture at the same time as the carpet. And the optional, no tools
required, hard floor kit converts the AquaClean 16ST, 16XP, or 18FLX
to a 16 inch or 18 inch auto scrubber for hard floor cleaning.
The AquaClean 18FLX features a flip over handle, so they can
be operated as a traditional pull-back extractor or an ergonomic
walk-behind.
Advance also offers a basic model with fewer features:
the AquaClean 16ST.
