That's why the dusting process, washing process is very important..... The centrifuge and Rug Sucker are merely tools to help get more of the water out... You will still get a better rinse at the end of it, if all the necessary steps are followed... You can half ass cleaning a rug, but the problems are more likely to show up.... To each there own...
I agree Nate.

I wish 2 feet of water would help. It's the ground water that needs to be replenished. Takes years to get back up the hill.

How do some of these big rug warehouses clean these....
Never seen one but I believe they have washing racks and continually wash and rinse with gallons of water...
Good concept but I believe you would do better with a zipper with continual rinsing...that being said I have always thought that the washing racks do better than tuckmount...

True, but I was mainly thinking about wool rugs, and the loose fibers that are a result of agitation, especially with a rotary.

Nonetheless, it's obvious advantage is in being a superior niche tool for rapid high volume flushing, especially when dealing with heavy urine contamination.

If pit washing rugs are lubricated and a proper rotary brush is used, it doesn't shed that much to make it a problem.. Heck even just a squeegee goes over some problem rugs can shed without agitation... I see some Nepalese, Tibetan and mostly machine made & tufted rugs that have shedding problems...

A three foot one retails for $360. Get the 3 foot and 6 foot together, that is called the Journeyman, for $1050 retail. (Not MB pricing) The 3 and 6 join together to make 9 feet. That handles a number of rugs for the entry level guy without a big investment to his operation. Guys and woman already in the rug business have already seen the value of having these in their arsenal. Some compare the ROI much better than a centrifuge. Elements like expense and production are parts of the equation for consideration.

Which company with a centrifuge would choose this over a pit/floor flushing? Probably none

Oddly, I know of several companies across the USA that have centrifuges that also acquired The Rug Sucker as part of the arsenal of tools they wanted in their shop. Why? Because there are tricks that can be done with The Rug Sucker. Also, if the Centrifuge is down for repairs, The Rug Sucker fills in. If a rug is too big for the centrifuge, The Rug Sucker can step in to accommodate with its ability to be extended in length by design.

Note: My company designs, builds and sells centrifuges. My Area Rug Cleaning Company owns such a centrifuge as well as The Rug Sucker 3 piece version. With this kit I have 18 feet to utilized. (Sections of 9' + 6'+ 3' = 18) My centrifuge is 14 feet and is fixed in length.

Are you requesting my registered patent number for the Horizontal Rug Wringing Centrifuge by Centrum Force? However, if you are asking for The Rug Sucker's, it is not mine and therefore I do not know the pending status or number. Joe Roberts is the inventor.

Its really no big deal, I just wanted something to read. :). If I thought of it, and patented it I would protect it just the same
