AQUACLEAN 18FLX
Smart Solutions™ DCM Dual Cleaning Mode technology is available on the AquaClean 16XP and 18FLX models. Smart Solutions™ DCM is the Smart Solution for fast dry times, reducing the cost to clean, increasing productivity and is environmentally friendly.
Engaging the low moisture/high productivity maintenance mode redirects the solution flow to the low moisture nozzle that sprays on the brush. Less chemical and water is used extending the time between dump and refill cycles and gets traffic back on the carpet faster.
Switching to deep restorative cleaning is just as easy. In this mode, increases moisture and aggressive brush agitation is used to help loosen tough soils in the front of the facility and in traffic lanes.
The Advance AquaClean 16XP and 18FLX increase productivity and drive down the cost to clean by combining carpet extraction and spotting/upholstery cleaning in one machine with the integrated upholstery tool and hoses. An optional hard floor kit converts the AquaClean in to a 16 inch or 18 in auto scrubber for hard floor cleaning.
The Advanced AquaClean 18FLX features a flip over handle resulting in dual operating modes. The 18FLX can be operated as either a traditional pull back machine or it can be instantly converted into a ergonomic walk behind carpet extractor
