Engineering vs. Ad Claims

Engineering carpet cleaning systems to recover more than 95%* of the water used in the extraction process results in less residual matter to cause rapid resoiling. Bane-Clene's exclusive positive moisture control system means recovery can actually be monitored. The exact amount of water used and the exact amount recovered can be measured and compared. (95% of 100 gallons @ .09 GPM = 5 gallons left in the carpet) and that's a typical full day's production for one Bane-Clene® unit.**

Some equipment claiming 95% recovery may use 300 gallons of water or more in a typical day's cleaning. (95% of 300 @ 3.0 GPM = 15 gallons left in the carpet.) But most equipment has no way to actually monitor recovery since the recovered water is either pumped out onto the ground or into a drain. Some equipment hooks up to a faucet for water supply so there isn't a way to measure the water used either. (One manufacturer actually claims 7.0 GPM).

* Actual tests of Bane-Clene equipment have recovered as much as an amazing 97.3%.

** Normal production is 3000 to 5000 square feet depending on amount of soil..
