Centrifuge
and wringer machines are used to extract water from carpets with a few key
differences.
Centrifuge
A rug
centrifuge is for rinsing and drying rugs that have just been cleaned. It
allows for water extraction from the rugs that isn’t normally possible. As a
result rugs get a better rinse after cleaning and dry faster than with a
hanging method. However, the rug centrifuge is mostly limited to synthetic
material and simple rugs. It is most commonly use for door mats.
There are
limitations to using the centrifuge. Namely it can’t be used for all rug types.
Delicate handmade rugs would be destroyed by the centrifuge force. It can
destroy rug pile as well and create thinning patches especially on old antique
rugs. It can also damage rug fringes in this way.
In addition, if dye bleeding occurs, the
effects will be amplified if the rug is in a centrifuge. The dye will penetrate
all the layers of the rug and cause unwanted damage. Overtime, dyes from
previous rugs can accumulate and cause discoloration on light coloured rugs.
Overall, it
a centrifuge is best for simple synthetic rugs.
Wringer
A wringer
is used to wring water out of rugs after they have been washed and rinsed.
Since its invention there isn’t a professional rug cleaning company who can do
without it. It can wring out water from most types of rugs except really
delicate ones. Its rollers can be adjusted to fit with the rug thickness which
prevents damage to the quality of the rug.
The only
draw backs are that it can’t get out as much water as a centrifuge. Therefore,
the rug may take a bit longer to dry. It can’t be used to rinse the rug.
It’s still
the most necessary commodity for professional carpet cleaning.
