Title: portable machines which companies are good?
Post by: Dean payne on June 03, 2012, 03:58:36 pm

I'm doing window cleaning and want to add an extra service of carpet cleaning so researching it, I was wondering if portable machines are any good? Or must you get truck mount? Many thanks for any help and advice.

Hi Dean,depends on your budget really,you could probably pick up a prochem for about 500 with a low psi but it will do a job for you,or you can can really spend lots and get what you pay for.

So it would produce a professional finish then and do the job, but would take longer if not as powerful as a newer more expensive one? Cheers.
