Carpet Cleaning Vacuums South Africa
The Santoemma range of professional carpet cleaning includes the widest range of machines and accessories on the market, suitable for the professional cleaning of carpeted areas. Reliability and robustness characterise the whole range. Santoemma have developed unique systems and adopted special technologies, allowing you to get the best cleaning results and the maximum performance.
High Waterlift technology
The drying time of carpet after cleaning highly depends on the vacuum strength. Specially designed high waterlift vacuum motors have been developed for Santoemma machines, allowing them to get up to 50% higher waterlift than standard carpet extractors. This results in an extremely shorter drying time than with normal carpet extractors. Your carpet can be completely dry within 1 hour. Not only is the drying time reduced, but also a better cleaning result is obtained, since the extra solution extracted from carpet fibers contains extra dirt removed from the carpet. The same residual dirty solution, if left evaporating on the carpet as it normally is, would leave the carpet a lot dirtier.
Injection-extraction system with mechanical brushing action
With the injection-extraction system, a solution of water and chemical is sprayed into the carpet's fibres and immediately vacuumed. The solution and the dirt removed are recovered inside the machine. The result is improved with the mechanical action of a rotating brush, which allows it to remove dirt from the base of carpet fibres, for a complete cleaning of each fibre. No residual dirt will re-emerge on the carpet surface a few days after cleaning.
Instant hot water system
In carpet and textile cleaning, the result can be improved by using a hot solution, instead of a room temperature solution. Specific tests show that cleaning carpet with just 10°C more can give the same result as cleaning twice. Santoemma's instant heating system allows you to get hot water immediately after switching the machine on. It isnt necessary to wait until the whole solution tank gets warm, like you do with some hot water machines on the market.
Carpet pre-spraying
Sanotemma carpet cleaning
A pre-spray of a chemical solution on a carpet is usually recommended before starting to clean, in order to facilitate the detachment of dirt from carpet fibres. This helps you to get a better cleaning result and to accelerate the machine cleaning operation. Pre-spray is normally performed using special pre-sprayer devices, either manual or electric.
Santoemma has developed a patented pre-spray system, allowing you to pre-spray with the same extraction machine used for cleaning, providing a controlled and the optimal chemical concentration. The operator does not have to use a dedicated device. He can pre-spray surfaces quickly, thanks to the machine pump's high performance, and can rely on a high autonomy, for the complete machine's tank capacity. The time wasted due to frequent refilling of portable pre-sprayers is therefore eliminated.
Automatic chemical dosing
The solution of water and chemical is normally obtained adding chemical to the solution tank. To get the correct concentration, it is necessary to calculate the quantity of chemical to be added, according to the solution tank capacity. After cleaning, the residual solution in the tank is normally wasted. Santoemma have developed a patented system to perform an automatic dosing of chemical during carpet cleaning, with many advantages.
Carpet rinsing to remove chemical residuals
After cleaning the carpet with chemical, it is recommended to rinse the surface, in order to remove sticky residuals of chemical and dirt. The rinsing phase, though important, is seldom performed because of the time it requires. For Santoemma models equipped with the SMARTKIT system, it is possible to rinse the carpet, simply by turning a lever. Therefore no chemical is wasted and time is saved. Rinsing the carpet at the end of the cleaning process will make it dirty as slowly as when it was new.
Regular or restoration deep-cleaning
Most of Santoemma's machines are able to work in regular or in deep cleaning mode, according to the dirt degree and to the time from last cleaning. For a regular clean, the minimum waterflow is sprayed on the carpet, while for a deep-clean, a powerful flow is sprayed, to completely clean very dirty carpets.
Carpet blowing after cleaning
A powerful blower (ST810) can be used after cleaning, accelerating the evaporation of residual humidity from carpet. Carpet will dry even faster.
The right machine for each area: BOX or SELF CONTAINED machines
Box extractors are composed by machine body, hoses and an external wand used to spray and vacuum carpet. An optional Power brush wand can be used instead of the normal wand. By adding special extras, a Santoemma box extractor can be transformed in a "Professional carpet cleaning set", which combines all the cleaning factors in an optimal way, giving incomparable cleaning results. We supply the Sabrina Maxi and Serena Silent machines
Self contained machines incorporate the cleaning unit below the machine body. The operator moves the machine on the carpet surface, cleaning parallel stripes of carpet, with higher performances in terms of meters² cleaned per hour. External tools can be used as well, to clean hard-to-reach areas. WE supply the Elite-Silent machine
