Whether it is your office or shop having a commercial-grade carpet cleaner can help maintain a clean environment. Commercial carpet cleaners come with a robust cleaning system that can help clean those pesky grime, dirt, and stains on your carpets. They not only help spruce up your office but also keep your workplace safe from health risks.
Carpet cleaners provide a deep wash and a thorough cleanse by spraying carpets with a water-and-formula solution before scrubbing, loosening, and removing embedded dirt from the carpet fibers, leaving you with fresh and clean carpets. Hygiene aside, regularly cleaning your carpets and upholstery extends their life and helps preempt costly repairs and replacements.
A clean environment also helps to reduce sick days among your employees and offers a workplace free from contaminants, fungi, dirt, dust, allergens, and other debris. Clean, well-organized, safe, and healthy environment consistently translates into employee productivity. It also helps boost that very important first impression for both visitors as well as customers. Dirty or stained carpets will create a poor impression of your business and can deter patronage from clients. This, as more people are becoming health conscious and are looking to avoid unnecessary risks to their health.
There are plenty of commercial-grade carpet cleaners in the market capable of undertaking the most challenging cleaning tasks. Below are some of our top picks for your consideration.

What to Look for When Buying a Commercial Carpet Cleaning Machine
Professional carpet cleaners are crucial for effective office maintenance as well as maintaining hygiene within the workplace. Carpet cleaners not only clean your carpets but also come in handy for cleaning upholstery as well as other items including company vehicles. They offer affordable, efficient, and convenient options for preserving your company equipment.
- Easy Operation: an ideal carpet cleaner should not cause many headaches to operate or require specialized training. The key here is to make cleaning a breeze without the need to manage too many moving parts. The ideal carpet cleaner is one that comes ready to assemble and does not require you to dedicate a whole day reading through the user manual to decipher how it operates.
- Capacity: A good carpet cleaner should come with two tanks: one for water and one for the cleaning solution. The machine should automatically mix the solution with water, clean your carpet, and then dry it. Large tanks can be great for big shops and offices and not require you to fill and discharge water and cleaning solutions frequently.
- Heating Unit: let’s face it no one wants to deal with a wet carpet. Your carpet cleaner should be able to dry your carpet and upholstery effectively and ward away that unpleasant wet stench. Heat also helps to increase reaction rates among cleaning chemicals, helping to dissolve, melt, and loosen soils for greater impact. Equally important is the pressure when it comes to chemicals or liquids, it helps spray the liquid across a large surface area.
- Accessories and length of the hose: Besides capacity, your carpet cleaner should come with accessories and a lengthy hose for easy cleaning. The accessories should help you perform a variety of cleaning tasks while your hose and caster should allow easy mobility and reach across rooms.
- Not too noisy: Loud machinery are a distraction in the workplace. Choose a carpet cleaner that does not make too much noise. For cleaners that emit sound over 80 decibels consider wearing hearing protection.
- Warranty: Like any investment, it is always wise to get a unit with a warranty. Despite the price tag of your carpet cleaner, it is still an investment. Look for products with warranties and solid customer service to extend the life of your commercial carpet cleaning machine.
