149° Heat
It’s simple: heat softens what cold water hardens. This cycle gently loosens stubborn stains like grease and coffee at the fiber level, allowing your detergent to clean more effectively. The result is a deeper clean for the things that need it most.
-
Pro Results
Heated extraction cleaning doesn’t just clean surfaces—it revives them. By deeply removing dirt from high-traffic areas, it helps carpets and upholstery look and feel well-cared-for, reflecting well on any professional environment.
-
Easy to Use
Maneuverability matters when cleaning—that’s why its compact size and light weight are so useful. You can easily guide it around furniture and into corners without strain.
-
Fast Drying
It’s built to leave things drier. The strong suction pulls out more moisture during cleaning, which means fabrics air-dry faster. In a busy home or workplace, that leads to less downtime and more convenience.

How long does it take for carpets and upholstery to dry after using the SM18H?
Dry times typically range from 1–4 hours depending on carpet thickness, humidity, airflow, and whether you pre-agitated the fibers.
Because the SM18H has strong vacuum recovery, it removes a high percentage of moisture, allowing faster dry times than many traditional extractors. Using air movers can speed it up even more.
How hot does the water get when using the heater?

With a 4.8-gallon clean water tank and 5.3-gallon dirty water tank, most users can clean an entire room, multiple upholstery pieces, or several vehicle interiors before refilling.
Run time depends on your spray rate, but most contractors refill every 20–40 minutes during continuous carpet cleaning.
Can I run the heater and vacuum on the same circuit?
