Deep hygiene: a home free of bacteria And contaminants

Regular cleaning of your carpets is highly recommended at the intervals suggested by the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification), because they become highly contaminated with viruses and bacteria due to foot traffic, air conditioning dust, pet and human urine, food, grease, beverages, etc., putting the health of your family members at risk.

Choosing between a truck-mounted and a portable carpet cleaning service often comes down to a trade-off between raw power and accessibility.

While both systems use Hot Water Extraction (steam cleaning), truck-mounted units are generally considered the "gold standard" for deep cleaning, whereas portables are the essential choice for high-rise apartments or areas with limited parking.

Key Performance Differences

Feature

Truck-Mounted System

Portable Machine

Heat Output

Reaches 220°F–250°F; stays hot consistently.

Typically capped at 120°F–150°F; loses heat quickly.

Suction Power

3–5x stronger vacuum; extracts more water/dirt.

Lower suction; often leaves carpets damp for longer.

Water Pressure

400–1,200+ PSI for deep fiber flushing.

Usually 100–300 PSI; less agitation.

Drying Time

4–6 hours (due to high suction/heat).

Often 12–24 hours; higher risk of "wicking."

Power Source

Powered by the truck's engine (self-contained).

Plugs into your home's electrical outlets.

Detailed Comparison:
- Cleaning Depth & Sanitization: Truck mounts generate significantly higher heat, which is more effective at breaking down oils, killing bacteria, and dissolving stubborn stains. For every 18°F increase over 118°F, the chemical action of the cleaning solution effectively doubles.
- Convenience & Noise: * Truck Mounts: The noisy machinery stays outside in the van. Only the hoses and wand enter your home.
  - Portables: The entire machine is brought inside. It can be quite noisy and may exhaust humid air or odors directly into the room.
- Accessibility: This is where portables shine. If you live in a high-rise apartment (above the 3rd floor) or a building where a truck cannot park within 100–300 feet, a portable machine is often the only viable option.
- Maintenance of Your Home: Truck mounts have large recovery tanks, so they don't need to dump dirty water in your toilets or sinks. Portable technicians will typically need to use your bathtub or utility sink to fill the machine and your toilet to dispose of wastewater.
Which should you choose?
- Choose Truck-Mounted for single-family homes, ground-floor offices, or heavily soiled carpets where you want the fastest drying time and deepest possible clean.
- Choose Portable for high-rise apartments, security-restricted buildings, or small "spot" jobs where hose access is impossible.
