SPECS
FAQ
CRB CLEAN FAQ
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 with 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 Clean machine machine do I need?
- CRB Clean 12 (12") – best for tight residential spaces and stairs
- CRB Clean 15 (15") – ideal for residential and small-to-medium commercial jobs
- CRB Clean 20 (20") – best for large, open commercial areas & big residential jobs
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 if you need softer, stiffer, or specialty brushes for different surfaces.
How do Renovator trays improve my cleaning results?
Renovator trays attach to the front and back of the TM4 to capture sand, debris, hair, and dry soil removed by the brushes.
Benefits include:
- Massive dry soil removal before chemistry is applied
- Cleaner traffic lanes
- Enhanced encapsulation results
- 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, it 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 it into VLM and encapsulation cleaning?
The CRB is one of the most effective machines for VLM cleaning:
- Dual brush agitation evenly works encap detergent into fibers
- Soil is suspended and removed with post-vacuuming
- Renovator trays remove dry soil before wet cleaning
- Fast-drying, ideal for commercial maintenance
- Perfect for offering “dry in under an hour” services
How does the CRB fit into traditional hot water extraction cleaning?
They are invaluable add-ons for truckmount and portable HWE cleaners.
- The superior agitation makes it the perfect pre-scrubbing tool
- You can also use it for pile lifting and grooming
- Improves appearance, drying time, and overall results
Is there an option for increased cleaning width?
Yes. With the optional tandem bar accessory, two units can be linked together for increased productivity on large-scale projects. (*Please note the CRB Clean 12 does not have this capability)

Let customers speak for us
from 186 reviewsWe received our Austrian crb and we're using since and it's a must have machine for every carpet cleaning business. Thanks for your fast shipment. You guys are awesome.
I got tired of underperforming machines marketed for residential use and purchased this unit because it was less than half the price of competitors with the same function/power. The unit arrived quickly and was easy to assemble. Day one I cleaned a wool lounge chair, mattress and two sofas and all came out looking good as new.
We've used this product for years when we started our services for VLM Carpet care. It's the best out there and the price is awesome with this company. Note, it does not ship from their office in Battle Creek. It ships from the manufacturer in South Carolina. No worries though, shipping was still lightning fast.
Awesome product! Thx for the Multi-Sprayer.
This is an amazing product! I had a ton of church pews to clean. This tool made it a snap!
Ps. I continue to love this product!
They were very prompt in responding to messages and getting shipping quotes (located outside of contiguous USA) Very good customer service. Highly Recommend.
Great service and on time deliveries
Highly recommend
I am a profesionnal carpet cleaner in Quebec Canada for many years.
I am very happy about my purchase and the good ans fast service I receive. Thank you so much because i save about $ 450.00 from the retail price in Canada. Will check to buy another one before spring.
I left a message requesting help with selecting CRB parts, and to verify repair methods. I was immediately contacted by a knowledgeable person who answered every question and totally made me feel like I mattered as a customer. I find that to be rare in recent years. Great service!
Great product to help work the Pre spray in for fantastic results.
I recieved my equipment in a timely matter. There was even a guy that reached out to me to make sure everything was going well withy order. I appreciate the great customer service
Great transaction. Great communication. I will do business with ya again when i get an OO this year.
Thanks
This machine is what every carpet cleaner should have in their toolbox. This is the best investment I have ever made, and I highly recommend it to fellow Carpet Cleaners.
I used this for the first time in a cottage bedroom, due to logistics and customer wanting immediate access to the room post clean. Vacuumed, pre sprayed and then scattered down the Dry Carpet Cleaning product. Thorough agitation using my CRB, followed by a clear up of the rest of my equipment back into the van, while the product worked its magic. Renovator trays on and collected up the dry compound, followed by a final vacuum and pile brush. Customer was delighted with the results "it looks like new". Happy customer, happy cleaner!
I absolutely love the machine. It's a huge step up from my sebo. But above all of that, the service I received from smart cleaning was world class and they went above and beyond to help me. Thanks guys!
