Two different types of car detailing equipment are needed for effectively cleaning the interior and exterior of vehicles. For hard surfaces on the exterior of vehicles, pressure washers with a pressure level of 1500 psi or less are recommended. Softer surfaces, such as seats, carpets, and mats, require carpet cleaners.

The following are some tips to select the most suitable car detailing equipment for cleaning the interior of automobiles.

Which Machines to Choose
Carpet cleaners are the most suitable machines for cleaning the soft surfaces of automobile interiors. Seat upholstery and mats cannot withstand the high power output of pressure washers, and such excessive use of water would greatly increase drying times of carpets and upholstery.

Carpet cleaners, like the low flow systems in Daimer®'s XTreme Power® line, do not use excessive amounts of water to clean. Instead, the output temperature level, which ranges up to 210°F, helps loosen stains to make them easier to remove. Coupled with moderate pressure levels and high extraction capabilities, low flow carpet cleaners can remove a host of stains and residues on carpets, upholstery, and floor mats.

When using a carpet cleaner, a cleaning solution must first be sprayed onto the carpet and allowed to soak in. Daimer® offers Eco-Green® cleaning chemicals, such as Carpet Care & Upholstery Cleaner, that can be used along with your car detailing equipment for safe and effective cleaning of interiors.

Tips to Choose Carpet Cleaners
Carpet cleaners should be equipped with low flow technology. This technology limits the flow of output to the surface without reducing the cleaning efficiency of the machine. This advantage helps seats and carpets dry out quicker and reduces the risk of mold, odor, and germs from forming. In addition, car detailing equipment should have a specialized upholstery wand for reaching the small crevices of vehicle interiors.

Daimer®, a premier supplier of cleaning machines, offers quality carpet cleaners for auto detailing in its XTreme Power® series. For more information about car detailing equipment, visit www.daimer.com.

Car Detailing Equipment for Cleaning Carpets


Car detailing equipment from Daimer® includes machines for cleaning vehicle exterior surfaces and interiors. Among this equipment are steam cleaners, carpet cleaners, and pressure washers. Steam cleaners can clean the interiors only if it is confined to a small area, as in cleaning hard surfaces like the dashboard or spot cleaning carpets. These machines are ideal for spot cleaning stains, grease, and when equipped with the right technology, removing allergens, germs, and molds. Special anti-bacterial technologies help make this car detailing equipment ideal for eliminating food and beverage stains left behind on seats and rugs, eliminating up to 99.99% of bacteria, mold, and mildew.

To find the best car detailing equipment for carpet and upholstery cleaning, you need to assess your own requirements first. Daimer® sells steam cleaning equipment for commercial and industrial use, including the auto detailing industry.

Daimer®’s carpet cleaners are also ideal for cleaning vehicle interiors, though they are designed to extract virtually all stains, residues, and odors from car carpets and upholstery. XTreme Power® carpet cleaners by Daimer® are low flow machines using minimal water. This has many advantages.

The first advantage is reduced water consumption in areas with less water availability. Second, cleaning up after the car detailing process is easier. Third, you do not risk fines for breaking wastewater disposal rules. Fourth, water efficiency equates eco-friendliness, and this can enhance the reputation of your business and help attract more customers.

Minimal water use also has another benefit. It reduces drying time for the carpet and upholstery, particularly in the car interiors. Damp fabrics attract mold and germs. They can cause allergic reactions and disease. Low flow car detailing equipment eliminates this problem because the carpet dries in as little as two hours, with upholstery drying in as little as one hour. Unlike steam cleaners, carpet cleaners can wash entire carpets.

You can also use Daimer®’s specially formulated eco-friendly carpet cleaning chemical with XTreme Power® systems. This product is made from plant extracts and is fire-safe, non-toxic, and non-reactive except with dirt. Visit www.daimer.com to learn more about car detailing equipment from Daimer®.
