New Equipment

Wow, we purchased new cleaning equipment in December of 2010. This is just another example of how serious we are about providing our customers with the best cleaning possible.

We've been watching cleaning equipment technology improve over the years. In February of 2010 we attended a cleaning equipment expo in Phoenix. There, we were able experiment and compare the latest technology from several cleaning companies. The one that impressed us the most was built by Sapphire Scientific. We began doing our homework and studying the innovative systems they build. Finally in November, we visited the manufacturing facilities to test between two systems they build. In December we made the decision to purchase the Sapphire Scientific 454 Big Block cleaning console. It was installed in the van on December 23, 2010.

There are two notable improvements our customers will really appreciate:

The first is how much drying time has been reduced. Keep in mind these dry time comparisions are during the cold month of January while we've had a lot of snowy, cold weather. With our previous equipment, the drying time averaged 8 hours in the winter months. The new equipment has reduced the drying time to under 2 hours! That's impressive! We can't wait to see how fast floors will dry during the summer months (probably about 1 hour or less).

The second improvement is how much cleaner we are able to get carpet, tile and grout. With the new technology we have greater control of pressures, temperature and vacuum on the equipment. We can customize the equipment performance for every cleaning task we encounter. That flexibility, combined with the new advancements in cleaning solutions, just help us achieve stellar results.

Another really neat feature of the new equipment concerns it's reduced impact on the environment. Instead of using diesel fuel to heat the cleaning solution, this new SS454 uses a heat exchange/capture feature that is brand new to the industry. This new technology is so efficient that the new SS454 allows us to run two cleaning stations at the same time and still maintain all the pressure, heat and vacuum to achieve superior cleaning.

The new equipment also has dual wand capability which allows us to offer reduced cleaning times for those who have larger homes. It's exciting, because now we finish large cleaning jobs in half the time and experience faster drying too. It's just another one of those win-win situations we all love.
