CRB or Cimex (commercial carpet cleaning)

[Spurlington]

Ive had a guy do a CRB demo about 2 weeks ago and then had another guy do a Cimex demo last night. I was totally amazed at how much easier carpet cleaning could be. I have a large commercial account that Ill be using one or the other on. (may need 2 machines)

What machine would you people prefer and why .. thanks !!

Cimex is the King of Shampoo.

The CRB comes in handy to help prep b4 the King

And is the King of Travertine and matted piles

Both in other words

Both will clean fine but the Cimex is high production.

With its weight a planetary rotation it cleans on all sides of the fiber with no torque pulling you side to side.

If convenience is a factor then the CRB is lightweight enough for one man to easily load and unload. The Cimex is a tank, it takes two men to unload.

 

[Spurlington]

I was thinking Cimex too .. would you use brushes or pads? Would also like to use this on tile n grout.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Pads. You have a variety of choices of aggressiveness. Standard or more aggressive gray or BBC with the brown power strip.

The soft brushes work good to prep rugs.

Unless you're in your 70's & use extension ramps, then it's just so easy.

I load and unload it by myself....... No sissy ramps, just my toothpick arms.....

I also used to be ten foot tall & bulletproof.

Then one day, you'll find you also have a back. -

Slopes are so much easier to handle.

I have both machines and the Cimex hands down is the better machine.
Just get a ramp to load.

Ya, I usually get the slopes to load it for me too.

I got kicked out of the Army because I wouldn't park the tank on a slope..........


Easy, take it easy...... I'm almost half slant eye myself....

Delia, my Wife, & our youngest Son, Rodel, just read both of your messages and both want to come to the 'states next time I go & meet you.

Her Father was a Captain in the Philippine Police Force & had all his kids go to martial arts schools.

Here's a pic of Rodel to think about.

Just sayin'



Actually, they never saw this post, so carry on.

I've come across a few slopes in my time as well.

 

[Cleanworks]

Their coming to help load the Cimex, Right.

Shhh, Ron.

I would say both for sure.....
The CRB for prep on large and small jobs, but some jobs can be done with just the CRB. Depends on how well the carpets are maintained and the size of the job.
I absolutely love it for tile and grout cleaning too. You will find that there are so many uses for the CRB so you should get it for your truck, not just this one account.

For the large commercial job I would use both....CRB It first to pull the particulates out, but then follow with the Cimex for scrubbing transferring the soils.
Time is money and the Cimex will save you a lot of time.

CRB?
Really....what market are you in? I'll roll in with a few Cimex's and take it from you.

 

[Kellie Hiler]

I had a few accounts that were maintained monthly. Very light foot traffic. Small areas, too small to bother with bringing out the Cimex, One in particular that we couldn't pull hoses through security doors because it was a financial institution, so a CRB would have been perfect for them. I actually did demo a CRB on one of those particular jobs and it worked beautifully.
@regarossa did a fine job on that crazy cat lady carpet with just the CRB..... So yes I have become somewhat of a believer in the power of that machine as a standalone for VLM cleaning in certain conditions .

Kellie...KELLIE....its ok to be wrong.

 

[Kellie Hiler]
