Xtreme Power ® HSC 17300

When it comes to getting certain surfaces really clean, you need to invest in the right kind of hard surface cleaners. Just like carpets and upholstery have their own unique cleaning problems and needs, so do hard surfaces. In the case of porous surfaces like brick or concrete, dirt, grease and other kinds of deposits can not only adhere to the surface - they can also sink right into the material, as well. This can make things like grease and oil stains especially hard to remove. Ideally, hard surface cleaners should be versatile but durable enough to tackle even the toughest industrial cleaning jobs.

The XTreme Power ® HSC 17300 from Daimer ® can handle a number of different cleaning jobs. It operates as a heated hard surface cleaner, offering a powerful cleaning solution to remove stubborn stains like grease and other industrial deposits. Added to the heat factor is a 19" spinner head for more effective cleaning power. If you’d like to tackle hard surfaces which require a smaller spinner head, a 9" spinner head is also available. These hard surface cleaners are also mobile and work at a temperature of up to 220º F.

These hard surface cleaners can also be used as sludge extractors, steam pressure washers and a wall cleaning system. When operating in steam mode, the machine can reach temperatures of up to 330º F.

Laminate - Care and Maintenance

Laminate flooring brings the beauty of a natural wood floor and the easy
maintenance of a resilient floor together so you can have the style you
want and the carefree maintenance you need. While laminate flooring is
remarkably durable, there is of course no such thing as an indestructible
flooring material. By observing the following precautions, you can expect
years of beauty from your laminate floor.

For general cleaning, use a dust mop or wipe occasionally with a damp
cotton or cloth mop. If heavier cleaning is needed, an occasional damp
mopping with a mild cleaning product is suggested. Do not use soap or
detergent-based cleaners, wax-based products, or any type of polish as
they leave a dull, filmy residue. Do not flood your floor with water.

To help eliminate fine particles of dirt and grit that act like sandpaper and
will scratch any floor, vacuum or sweep daily. The vacuum head must be
a felt or brush type. Be certain that the wheels of the vacuum are clean
and do not damage the finish. DO NOT USE A VACUUM WITH A BEATER
BAR HEAD.

Remove spills promptly using a soft cloth and cleaning products
recommended by the manufacturer. Be sure to keep pet nails trimmed
and paws clean and free of dirt and gravel that may scratch your floor.

Place protective pads beneath furniture legs, tables, and other easily
movable furniture to reduce scratches. Replace plastic casters on chairs
with rubber wheels, and lift rather than slide heavy objects across
the floor.

Remove shoes with spiked or damaged heels before walking on the
floor. Spiked or stiletto high-heel shoes may cause damage to laminate
floors due to the extremely high compressive force they generate. Such
footwear can produce dynamic loads in excess of 1000 pounds per
square inch, even when worn by someone of slight or average build.

As added protection, use dirt-trapping walk-off mats at all exterior doors
to help keep sand, dirt, and grit off your laminate floor.

How to Care For & Maintain Your Carpet

A regular maintenance program extends the life of the original appearance
of your carpet. Today’s carpet fibers are designed to hide dirt and reflect
light and have the ability to resist soiling and stains. However, the lack of
apparent soiling does not eliminate the necessity of regular cleaning.†

You will need to vacuum your heavy traffic areas, such as hallways, stairs,
and exterior entryways at least twice a week. Vacuum less heavily used areas
weekly. For best results, use a vacuum cleaner with a beater bar or rotating
brush and with a strong enough airflow to penetrate to the carpet backing.

Carpet with thick loop pile construction, particularly wool and wool blend
styles, may be sensitive to brushing or rubbing of the pile surface
and may become fuzzy. For these products, and those styles with
a combination thick or thin or cable yarn, a suction-only vacuum is
recommended or a vacuum with an adjustable brush lifted away from
the carpet so it does not agitate the pile. A vacuum with a beater bar or
rotating brush can be tested for excessive fuzzing in an inconspicuous
location before regular use.

Most dry soil has razor-like edges that abrade carpet fibers, causing light
to reflect differently and give carpet a dull appearance. Soil can damage
the fibers permanently if allowed to remain in the pile.

No matter how often you vacuum, your carpet will still need heavy-duty
cleaning from time to time. We would be glad to advise you
about which cleaning method is best for your particular carpet. Hot water
extraction, either alone or in combination with cleaning, is required to
maintain most warranties.* Some styles, however, must be cleaned in other
ways. Be sure to check with your Carpet One Floor & Home® retailer for
the recommended cleaning method for your particular carpet. A trained
professional should perform this service at least every 18-24 months to
refresh the texture and rejuvenate the fibers in your carpet.† Have
the cleaning professionals come to your home for a visual inspection,
and obtain a written agreement before the work is started. You must
retain your receipts for proof of maintenance service should a warranty
claim arise.
