What is the difference between the CRB-Clean machines and the Austrian models?

CRB-Clean units provide the same CRB cleaning functionality at a more economical price point, making them an excellent choice for cleaners who want professional results without the cost of a premium machine. While they’re not built quite as heavy-duty as the Austrian models and may not have the same decades-long lifespan, they deliver strong agitation, reliable performance, and all the core functionality needed for residential cleaning and commercial use.

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option that still gets the job done well, CRB Clean models are a smart, cost-effective solution.

What surfaces and applications can the CRB handle?

  • Encapsulation (VLM) carpet cleaning
  • Dry compound cleaning
  • Pre-scrubbing before hot water extraction
  • Pile lifting and grooming
  • Deep dry soil removal using Renovator trays
  • Certain hard-surface scrubbing (with proper brushes and chemistry)

It’s a true multi-purpose machine for everyday professional work.

What size CRB should I choose?

  • CRB Clean-12 (12") / smaller units – best for tight residential spaces and stairs
  • CRB Clean-15 (15") – ideal all-around machine for residential plus small-to-medium commercial jobs
  • CRB Clean-20 (20") / larger units – best for large, open commercial areas

What brushes should I use, and when should I switch them?

You’ll receive standard blue brushes, which are excellent for most residential and commercial synthetic carpets. Optional brush types are available - see below for more detailed information.

How do Renovator trays improve my cleaning results?

Renovator trays attach to the front and back of the TM3 to capture sand, debris, hair, and dry soil removed by the brushes.

Benefits include:

  • Massive dry soil removal before chemistry is applied
  • Better encapsulation results
  • Cleaner traffic lanes
  • Improved carpet appearance and longevity

You’ll often be shocked by how much material the trays catch.

Is the CRB easy to learn and operate?

Yes, the CRB is known for being:

  • Very simple to operate
  • Easy to train employees on
  • Reliable due to minimal electronics
  • Quick to set up, break down, and clean

With the included BONUS eBook, even new cleaners can master the CRB process quickly.

How does the CRB fit into VLM and encapsulation cleaning?

The CRB is one of the most effective machines for VLM cleaning:

  • CRB agitation evenly works encap detergent into fibers
  • Soil is suspended, encapsulated, and removed with post-vacuuming
  • Renovator trays pull dry soil out before wet cleaning
  • Results are fast-drying and ideal for commercial maintenance
  • It’s perfect for offering “dry in under an hour” services.

How does the CRB fit into traditional hot water extraction cleaning?

CRB machines are invaluable add-on for truck mount and other HWE cleaners.

  • The superior agitation created by the dual cylinder brushes makes it the perfect pre-scrubbing tool.
  • In addition you can also use it to pile lift and groom the carpet to enhance the looks and help the carpet to dry quicker.

When will my order ship out?
