No sales experience?
That’s OK. The Air Cell Extraction method of carpet cleaning sells itself...
"In our business, we only use Von Schrader equipment and products because our customers are always extremely pleased with our results and do not hesitate to provide referrals to us. This helps cut down on advertising expense."
—Larry Brewster
The Ultimate Cleaning System
"When I first started a couple of months ago I was skeptical about how well these machines would actually clean. Let me tell you I’ve had nothing but compliments and amazement from my customers! Now ALL of my work comes from mouth to mouth referrals, and I’m booked for the next three weeks!"

“Steam” Carpet Cleaning
Despite the name, this method of carpet cleaning uses no steam. Instead, steam cleaning requires that gallons of hot water be sprayed into carpet. In many cases, just half of the dirt bearing water is removed. The remaining water can result in soggy carpet, severe discoloration, mildew, shrinkage, and damaged padding and flooring. Plus drying time can run up to 24 hours — much longer than the average homeowner or business can afford to keep off the carpet.
Rotary Carpet Cleaning
This method of carpet cleaning scrubs a shampoo into the surface of the carpet using brushes. While rotary carpet cleaning does a fair job of cleaning the carpet surface, the deep-down dirt is untouched, or, worse yet, carried deeper into the carpet pile by the shampoo. Unfortunately, this method makes no effort to remove the shampoo and dirt. The carpet must be vacuumed later in a separate operation.
Only the Von Schrader Air Cell Extraction System™ safely and thoroughly cleans carpets on-location without using damaging amounts of liquid or scrubbing action.
The Von Schrader system applies dirt emulsifying cleaning bubbles (not gallons of water), brushes it all way down to the base of the carpet fiber using cylindrical brushes (unlike rotary brushes which merely clean the surface), and then floats the dirty bubbles before they can sink back down into the carpet or fiber. This simultaneous operation combined with air cell bubbles ensures that there’s no danger of shrinkage, dry-rot, browning or mildew. Plus, the carpet is dry often in less than just one hour because we control the moisture.

Steam or Hot Water Extraction Carpet Cleaning |
VonSchrader Air Cell Extraction™ Carpet Cleaning |
Rotary Brush Carpet Cleaning |
| Basic Method for Cleaning |
High pressure jets spray a solution of hot water and detergent into the carpet to loosen the soil. Some of the cleaning solution and soil are then extracted by means of a built-in suction method. |
Thousands of tiny Air Cells, masses of air surrounded by a microscopically thin sandwich of detergent, water and more detergent, are gently scrubbed into the carpet. These Air-Cells create a unique cleaning environment, containing 90% air and only 10% detergent and water, that overcomes gravity to hold soil in suspension for immediate extraction. |
A detergent is applied into the carpet pile with rotary brush machine. Extraction must be conducted with a separate wet vacuum pick-up system. |
