Frequently asked questions
1. What advantages does a CRB machine offer over traditional carpet cleaning tools?
A CRB delivers exceptional agitation and fibre lift, allowing you to remove embedded soil, pet hair, and debris that vacuums and wands simply don’t reach. It improves pre-treatment penetration, speeds up cleaning time, and enhances final results. Professionals use CRBs to stand out from competitors and hit higher cleaning standards with less effort.
2. Can a CRB be used for more than just carpet cleaning?
Absolutely, today’s CRB units are versatile multi-surface machines. You can use them for carpet agitation, encapsulation cleaning, tile and grout scrubbing, and even rejuvenating tired traffic lanes. Many technicians rely on CRB systems for upholstery, rugs, and hard flooring when paired with the right brushes and collection trays.
3. Do I still need a truckmount or portable extractor if I buy a CRB?
A CRB doesn’t replace your extraction system, it enhances it. Think of it as the tool that unlocks maximum soil removal before extraction, leading to cleaner carpets, faster drying, and higher customer satisfaction. Many pros use CRBs to shorten job times, increase cleaning power, and add encapsulation cleaning as an extra revenue stream.
4. How do I choose the right brushes and accessories for my CRB?
Different surfaces and fibre types respond best to tailored brush settings. Stiffer brushes excel in commercial carpets and tougher fibres, while gentler options protect wool and delicate textiles. If you serve a mix of residential, commercial, or restoration jobs, we can recommend the ideal brush set and trays based on your primary service areas.
5. How much maintenance does a CRB need, and is it easy to service?
CRBs are built to run reliably for years with simple routine care. Regular cleaning of brushes, bearings, and collection trays keeps performance consistent, and belts and gears are straightforward to maintain or replace. We supply parts and support, so your machine stays operating at peak power and you avoid unexpected downtime.
