Title: Which is the best spotting machine
Post by: William McCafferty on November 27, 2011, 12:59:57 pm

At the moment I am getting loads of work removing spots and stains in apartment blocks, although I do get too clean the whole block the management company now seems to just want me to do a quick spot and stain treatment when they appear and to do a complete clean every year or so.

At the moment I either use a prochem powermax or ashbys diamondback which takes more time setting up than it does cleaning, so I'm on the look out for a spotting machine, I would be grateful for your input on this

Hi Alan

I did think of this machine along with the Prochem Bravo, most of the blocks I do are 3 storey, anything higher normally has a lift.

Do you think the Cfr would be capable of being carried up this high.

I've a Numatic CTD-570-2 which I bought as our main carpet cleaner before knowing anything about carpet cleaning.

It still gets used regularly on small jobs as I can be in and out in as much time as it takes to set the main machine up.  It's in use tomorrow in a couple of plots.

It always does a great job but I wouldn't want to use it on a large room.

The Karcher Puzzi's are  good for spotting and are very light

I use a Prochem Bravo for all my small stain removal jobs and find it excellent.  I would certainly highly recommend it.   :D

I also have an Ashbys power brush, but to get this to work I would need to make up a male/female connector, where could I get the reducer screw from, and do you think the powerbrush would work with a spotter machine
