Cimex 880 speed - New Look Clean - 01-07-2013
Hi all!!!
My name is Jason and I am a carpet cleaner in the UK
I have been looking into encapping and thought I would get some great advice on here from you guys in the know!!
I have been offered a Cimex machine at a good price but its the 880 speed one. Looking at old posts on here I see some do use it on carpets - can it be done safely and would I only be able to use it on tough commercial carpet or is it OK as an all rounder?
Also, what other cleaning can I do with that type of Cimex? Will it do patio`s, block driveways, stone and tile?
Thanks in advance
Jason

It's not really recommended. On a durable commercial grade loop carpet you could CAUTIOUSLY use the 880 rpm machine. But pay very close attention to the pile to make sure that you're not distorting the texture.
