The Traditional Cleaning Wand is Hard Work
The Rotovac is an electric power scrubbing tool. Comparing the Rotovac to a manual wand is like comparing a skill saw to a hand saw. We have converted a back and forth manual task to a much more efficient rotary mechanized operation. Which makes more cleaning passes per minute than is possible with a regular scrub wand. In addition, the cleaning passes are from all directions rather than just back and forth. This is what produces better cleaning results for you.
The manual scrub wand is a good cleaning tool for cleaning lightly soiled carpet. When cleaning more heavily soiled carpet, the wand becomes a “beast of burden”. Cleaning results depend upon the strength, stamina and technique of the person working the wand. Cleaning heavily soiled carpets with a scrub wand is ‘hard labor.” The repetitive of scrubbing back and forth is extremely strenuous and fatiguing. An individual cannot scrub long enough to effectively clean your carpets.

Why Use a Truck Mount?
A portable machine simply does not have enough power to clean. A truck mounted system located in a van is a far superior system for cleaning carpets.
