Certified
Pile Lifter
from Bane-Clene®
A must for those concerned with total carpet care
Recommended by leading carpet manufacturers, the Certified® Pile Brush removes the deeply embedded dry particulate matter from the carpet while helping groom the nap, eliminate traffic patterns and prolong the life of carpet and rugs.
The 1998 Building Service Contractors Association International Carpet Guide says "The pile brush type vacuum will remove deeply embedded soil, and open up a nap more than a regular, lightweight vacuum. Usually, a pile brush machine will be used weekly on traffic lanes, monthly on all of the carpeted areas, and always just before any cleaning process. The pile brush vacuum is a dual-purpose machine because it is used both to maintain commercial carpet and to clean".
CRI-approved for commercial-grade carpet to improve IAQ throughout a facility, enhance performance of cleaning products, break up and remove deeply embedded soil and add life to commercial or residential carpet
Shaw Industries says, "Using a pile lifter in traffic lanes just prior to cleaning will remove the deeply embedded soil and open up the pile so the hot water extraction can be more effective. After using a pile lifter, the final step...will be less difficult."
By disconnecting the vacuum motor and using the nylon brush, the Pile Lifter can be used to agitate snf work in prespray into extremely soiled carpet for greater effectiveness!

Directions:
1. The Pile Brush is ready for use after removal from carton and adjusting the height of the handle to suit the operator.
2. To operate most effectively, always start in a corner of the area to be pile brushed facing the lay of the pile. Except for shag carpet, and a few other decorator carpets, all carpet is constructed so that the pile will lay slightly in one direction.
3. Run the Pile Brush forward one or two steps and pull back over the same area. The Pile Brush action is complete on the back stroke, against the lay of the nap. Turn the unit sharply after completing the backstroke in the direction of the opposite wall, straighten brush when finished, replace inner bag if necessary, and empty sand trap.
