Low moisture cleaning
August 1st 2003

The Host von Schrader Esprit provides low moisture upholstery cleaning and is suitable for use in the home, in offices where chairs and fabric covered office dividers need cleaning, and in areas such as automotive resale and the aviation industry. The Esprits built-in vacuum removes surface dirt. A low foam detergent is generated within the machine and applied to the fabric. Counter-rotating brushes provide agitation so that the detergent works effectively, loosening imbedded soils and spills. Finally, the powerful vacuum removes the dirty detergent together with the embedded soil and other residues. As the cleaning detergent is applied as a very low moisture foam, drying times are fast and there is no requirement for other drying aids, such as heaters or blowers. Fabric is left in an almost ready-to-use state. There is said to be no danger of over-wetting, eliminating potential damage to fabrics and fillings. The brushes that agitate the foam counter-rotate so that there is no distortion to the fabric weave. The company claims that fine fabrics and leather can be cleaned with confidence. Single or multiple seating can be cleaned in situ and very quickly. The company points out that the residential and commercial market for upholstery cleaning is expanding rapidly and claims that any professional cleaner who can offer this service will be able to demonstrate extra value to their customers in the public or private sector.
