Vacuum Products
Vacuums are the most versatile product of all cleaning equipment. Every location you encounter will need vacuum products. The style of vacuum required depends on the application. Vacuuming should be done before any carpet cleaning is attempted.
Fan or Impeller Vacuums
Fan or impeller vacuums are the most common style of vacuum. Impeller vacuums use a fan attached to a high speed motor that creates air flow. Similar to a propeller, these fans spin at high speed and create suction. Impeller vacuums are not “true” vacuums, since no sealed containment bin is present. These units pick up the soil and force it into a containment bin. In most cases, the containment bin is a paper bag housed inside of a cloth shake-out bag. In some instances, the
collection bin is a dust cup collector that does not require a bag. This system is commonly referred to as a “dirty air system.” The dirt and debris passing directly through the impeller will damage it over a period of time. Impeller vacuums generally employ the use of a beater bar/brush combination. Over time, the beater bar can damage carpet by breaking off fibers. The filtration level on this style of vacuum is usually low because of the soil being forced through the collection bag. These vacuums make up a large percentage of all vacuums sold in the commercial market. The prices range from $130-$250 depending upon the make and model. These vacuums generally have a short life expectancy and require repeated maintenance. Common brands include Eureka Sanitaire, Oreck, Hoover, Panasonic and Royal. Windsor does not manufacture or promote this style of vacuum.
Single Motor Uprights
Single motor uprights use an electric motor that creates a vacuum and propels the brush roller. While only employing a single motor like an impeller style vacuum, these vacuums are considered “clean air systems” based on the soil never traveling through the vacuum motor. The air movement created is pulled through the containment bin or bag housing where the soil is collected in a disposable bag. The air
then exits the compartment through a filter system. There are many differentiation points on these units--some have automatic adjustments, lights that identify a full bag or clogs and many other features you will not find on the fan-style vacuum. Many of these units provide indoor air quality (IAQ) features with 99.6% filtration at .3-microns. These units will take a little more sales skill, but studies have shown that over 50% of the fan-style purchasers would buy this type unit over the existing fan model given the opportunity and the proper value explanation. The pricing varies significantly with features and benefits and range

Dual Motor Upright Vacuums
Considered the “work horse” model because of its durability, dual motor vacuums are for high usage applications. Dual motor vacuums are designed to run significant hours in a day and have high duty cycles. These units use an independent vacuum motor and a brush motor to keep performance high and failures low. This makes them more of an investment
when compared to single motor vacuums. These vacuums generally have a long life expectancy due to their simple reparability. Repairs can be more costly, but occur less frequently that lower priced vacuums. Like the single motor uprights, dual motor uprights are “clean air systems,” so soil never travels through the vacuum motor. Dual motor uprights are true vacuums. These vacuums employ a disposable paper bag and occasionally have a cloth bag option housed in the containment housing. Dual motor uprights are excellent choices in facilities that have heavy traffic and require years of service from their vacuums. Applications such as education, healthcare, large public facilities and hospitality are excellent fits. Anywhere you can sell value and longevity; this will be the vacuum of choice. This product requires more sales skill than any of the others since you are selling quality, productivity and longevity over price. The price point runs anywhere from $450-$900 depending upon manufacture and model. Common brands include Windsor, Advance, Clarke, NSS, and Tennant. Windsor products include:

Wide Area Vacuums
Any vacuum that employs a vacuum shoe of 20” and higher is considered a wide-area vacuum. Most models range from 24”-30”. Wide area vacuums operate on the same “clean air system” as dual motor uprights, only in a larger capacity. In most cases, these units will employ dual vacuum motors to compensate for the larger
opening. These units are designed to be used in large open areas of carpet or long hallways. Wide area vacuums can offer high filtration and increased productivity over uprights. Most wide area vacuums utilize a single brush-roller, some (including the NuWave) employ dual counter-rotating brush technology. Windsor products include:

Sweeper/Vacs
Over the past five years, sweeper/vacs have seen a steady increase in replacing cord electric wide area vacuums. This is based primarily on the tremendous increase in productivity with a sweeper/vac that is obtained by eliminating the cord and by utilizing battery power. Sweeper/vacs operate similar to impeller vacuums, except
Page 5
Equipment Basics Course

the soil and debris do not travel through the fan. The impeller in a sweeper/vac only creates a small amount of airflow that assists in collecting lighter dust and soil. The large main broom “sweeps” the soil and debris into a hopper. These machines can be used in outdoor or indoor applications, but never both with the same machine. These work well in environments where larger objects are being picked up. A movie theater would be a location that you might sell a sweeper. Areas that have hard floors and carpet floors that want a dual-purpose unit might be another. Sweeper/Vacs lack high quality filtration and are not true vacuums. The prices and styles vary greatly and range from $1000 for low-end sweepers to $6000 for very large ones. Brands include, Windsor, IPC Eagle, Tennant and Advance. Windsor products include:

Canister Vacuums
Canister vacuums employ a wand and hose connected to a “canister” that sets on the ground. In some models the vacuum head contains an electrically powered brush roller. In other models no brush roller or power is present. Canister vacuums have become a popular replacement for back pack style vacuums since they have
similar components. A canister vacuum can trail along with the user but do not have to be carried on the back. Many canister vacuums are quieter than their upright counterparts and are great to use in noise sensitive areas such as call centers and lobbies. Canister vacuums have better filtration than fan or impeller vacuums and therefore are preferable replacements to that style. Canister vacuums are considered “clean air systems” and are “true vacuums”. Pricing varies significantly from low 100’s up to $1000.

Back Pack Vacuums
Back pack vacuums have made a strong impact on the market in applications where quick vacuuming is a necessity. Back pack vacuums are essentially canister vacuums that the operator wears. They offer similar features and options as canister vacuums. This is the only style of cleaning
equipment an operator wears. Back packs utilize a single motor but the performance is not as high as a standard vacuum because it lacks brush agitation. Building service contractors represent the largest segment of end-users for this product. Prices range from $350-$700. Common brands include Windsor, ProTeam, Clarke, Advance, Tennant, and NSS.

Wet/Dry Vacuums
Wet/Dry vacuums are a very commonly used piece of equipment used primarily for wet pick up. It can be used for dry applications but a filter bag must be placed in the tank of the machine to prevent dust from being pulled into the vacuum motor. Wet/dry vacuums have increasingly become commodity products over the past 10 years. With
a large influx of consumer products into the market, the profitability of these units has dropped dramatically in the commercial segment. Virtually every facility has the need for a wet/dry vacuum. A bypass motor of 1.5 to 3 horsepower is the standard. The machine is traditionally used with a 2-bend wand and a squeegee floor tool. Front mount squeegee units are very effective for fast recovery of liquid. Inexpensive units designed for consumer use do not usually have a commercial bypass vacuum as part of the machine. They are rated to run 30 minutes a week versus 8 hours per day on a commercial wet/dry. Windsor products include:

Chariot iVac ATV 24 & 34
Recently, a new category was created by Windsor with the introduction of the Chariot Stand-Up riding vacuum cleaner. The unique feature of the iVac ATV is its’ ability to vacuum all types of surfaces, hard or soft, effectively and thoroughly. The Chariot ATV utilizes a specially
designed vacuumized brush deck that employs dual counter-rotating brushes and a vacuum tray to allow the ATV to vacuum virtually any surface. The 24” machine also comes standard with off-board cleaning feature that allows the operator to clean remote locations up to 20 feet from the machine. Each Chariot ATV is equipped with HEPA filtration as a standard feature. With production rates of 23,000-34,000 sq ft per hour respectively, the Chariot iVacs can outperform wide area vacuums, uprights and back packs.

Carpet Extractors
A carpet extractor utilizes hot or cold water, dispensed through spray jets directly onto the carpet. In most machines the carpet is agitated by a brush, and recovered by a vacuum system and deposited into a recovery tank. All this action is completed in a very short time resulting in a washing action to the carpet. Extraction is the most thorough way to preserve carpet life and appearance; however, it is also the most labor intensive method for carpet cleaning.
Spotters
A spotter extractor is designed to be lightweight and easily transported to the job site to remove spots from carpet before the spill turns into a stain. Spotters are designed to encourage cleaners to attend to spots and spills quickly. These units have relatively limited solution/recovery capacity (2 gallon) with lower than average psi (around 50 psi or lower.) The unit consists of a solution tank, recovery tank, vacuum motor and pump. Windsor products include:

Self-Contained
Self-contained extractors apply solution directly to the carpeted surface, agitate with a brush and recover dirty solution in a single pass. Self-contained extractors have a single cylindrical brush or dual brushes incorporated into the machine to increase cleaning power. Water lift and psi are not as high as portables as the brush agitation plays a larger role in the cleaning effectiveness.
Self-contained extractors can be either standard “pull backward” machines or “walk-behind” machines. Some machines may have the ability to be pushed or pulled. Brush width and solution/recovery capacity vary in sizes to accommodate the scope of the application. Windsor products include:

Truck Mount Units
Professional carpet cleaners utilize truck mount extractors in order to maximize portability, heat, high pressure, large recovery and high
productivity. These units allow professionals to travel from job to job quickly with minimal set up and tear down time. Building Service Contractors also purchase these units for their mobile floor crews. These machines are internal combustion powered for unlimited runtime with ultra high performance. Truck mount extractors are generally installed in vans designated specifically for this purpose or in some cases an enclosed trailer. The high psi incorporated with tremendous water recovery and heated water clean very effectively. The Windsor brand does not offer truck mount units, however the Prochem & C400 brands do.

Chariot iExtract
The Chariot iExtact has become the preferred the riding extractor in the industry today. The Chariot can clean areas of carpet that normally have to be cleaned using a wand due to its’ small footprint and tight turning radius. The Chariot allows operators the ability to deep extract for restorative cleaning, fast-tract for light cleaning and interim clean by changing jets and applying encapsulation
chemical. Dual vac shoes and dual vac motors ensure high recovery and faster dry times. Production rates from 9000-12,000 sq ft per hour, the iExtract cleans more than 1/3 more carpet per hour than traditional walk behind battery extractors.

Floor Machines
Floor machines are the workhorses of the cleaning industry. Standard speed floor machines were the very first commercial cleaning equipment ever manufactured. The simplicity of floor machines (they are often referred to as a motor on a stick) and their versatility allow them to clean everything from hard floors to tile to carpet. These machines are simply a motor spinning a pad or brush.
Standard Speed
These cord electric machines rotate at approximately 175 revolutions per minute (rpm) and are used for carpet pre-spray agitation, as well as sanding, stripping, scrubbing and polishing virtually all types of hard flooring. Ranging in size from 13” to 20” in diameter, these machines have rear wheels for transport
that are lifted when the machine is put to work. Operating floor machines can be one of the most difficult tasks a new cleaner has to learn. They employ tremendous torque when started and can be difficult to control for

High speed machines employ the use of specially coated pads that when spinning, “cut” the finish to create a smooth (shiny) surface. This dry process is called “burnishing”. Because of this higher speed
and friction, they are able to produce the “wet look” many facility managers prefer. High speed burnishers are available in cord electric, battery or propane models. Some burnishers have built in dust control systems that are able to contain the powder or dusting created by the high rpm’s of the machine. Windsor products include;

Auto-Scrubbers
An auto-scrubber is a specially designed machine that applies solution, scrubs the floor and recovers the solution in one pass. When auto-scrubbers are used by properly trained operators these machines can dramatically cut labor time and increase productivity. Auto-scrubbers are most commonly battery powered, with cleaning widths ranging from 17” up to 34” in the commercial market. Auto­scrubbers over 36” are usually considered industrial machines. Recently, the industry has seen an influx of “mini” auto scrubbers enter the market. These units are often cord electric machines ranging in size from 12” up to 17”. Productivity can be increased by up to 50% when using a battery machine vs. a corded machine. Scrubbing is accomplished by pads (most effective on flat surfaces) or brushes (most effective on uneven surfaces) which can be rotary or cylindrical.
Mini Auto Scrubbers
Mini auto-scrubbers produce the same quality cleaning results
as larger versions but can clean much smaller and confined areas. Areas of less than 5000 sq/ft are good choices for these machines. These units are excellent replacements for applications that would have been historically cleaned with a
mop and bucket. These units range in size from 12” to 16” and are usually cord electric operated. Mini auto-scrubbers are simple to operate and can be utilized by operators with little training. Windsor products include;

These scrubbers are utilized in a wide variety of applications. Rider scrubbers are available in sizes from 26”-36” In the past, rider scrubbers were used mainly in industrial applications, however, this has changed in recent years, as riders have gradually decreased in size. The machines are now also being
utilized in commercial applications. One of the changes in the product design is the capability of driving the rider through a standard 36” doorway, thus gaining access to multiple rooms in the facility. Benefits of riding are increased productivity, less operator fatigue, and employee morale. Operators also experience improved visibility and better turning radius. Rider scrubbers require intense training both on operation and maintenance issues. Applications for rider scrubbers include large education facilities, arenas, convention centers, large healthcare facilities or any facility with over 60,000 sq/ft of hard surface.

Sweepers
Sweepers are an important component of a solid flooring program. The primary function of a sweeper is to capture soil before it enters a facility. Once soil enters a facility the damage to flooring surfaces is a snowball effect. Sweepers can be either direct throw or overthrow. Direct throw sweepers utilize a main broom to sweep soils into a hopper much like a broom would sweep soil into a dust pan. Overthrow sweepers utilize a main broom that is designed to pick up debris, usually large debris, and carry it up and over the broom to dump it into a top fill container. Generally, direct throw sweepers work well on small soils and sand while overthrow sweepers work well on larger debris like paper and cigarette butts.

Manual Sweepers
These machines do the job that three or four individuals do with brooms. This category of equipment is classified as a manual push sweeper. The brushes in the unit are powered by pulleys off the back wheels. The main broom throws the debris into a hopper that is relatively small. These sweepers have no real dust control systems. No drive motors or vacuum motors. This
keeps the machine light on price and weight. The machine works best on rough surfaces like concrete or carpet. The sweeping path ranges from 26’” to 32”. Windsor products include:

These units range in sweeping path size from 24” to 36”. These units are available most commonly with battery power, however some manufacturers offer gas powered machine. Sweepers utilize a hopper for soil and debris collection, as the machines increase in size the hopper capacity increases as
well. Some of the machines have drive motors to propel them. Applications for these units include entrance cleaning and lighter duty outdoor areas. Warehouses and light manufacturing are also excellent applications. These units are now being used for both indoor hard and soft floors. Windsor products include:

Interim Cleaning Machines
The iCapsol system is used in conjunction with our iCapsol Carpet Chemical which is based on encapsulation technology. The iCapsol solution is mixed at 8 ounces per gallon and misted lightly over the area to be cleaned. It is then agitated into the carpet pile with the iCapsol machine. The solution comes in contact with the soils that
are stuck to the carpet fibers, pulls them from the fibers and holds them in solution. Once the soils are held in solution the iCapsol Chemical dries to a light, non-sticky crystal that is vacuumed out of the carpet at the next scheduled vacuuming.
The entire process, from spraying the iCapsol chemical, to working it in, until it is dry enough to vacuum, generally takes about 20 minutes. This process is a great replacement for bonnet cleaning, which can leave heavy residues in the carpet and cause damage to the carpet backing. Encapsulation extends the period of time between restorative extraction processes. Windsor products include:

Steam Cleaners
Steam Cleaners allow the user to clean without chemicals by harnessing the power of steam. Steam is generated in a boiler, applied to the surface with various tools where the soil can be easily wiped away. At 212 degrees steam is also considered an
excellent way to sanitize surfaces. Steamers can aid in eliminating beg bugs in a facility and removing annoying odors from upholstery. Steamers are also a vital tool in kitchen areas to sanitize food prep surfaces without chemicals and clean cooking equipment. Windsor’s product includes:
