Professional carpet cleaning starts with fibre inspection, suitable chemistry and controlled extraction, not with maximum water flow. This guide is for cleaners in Moscow, the Moscow Region and across Russia: how to prepare a carpet, choose a tool, work with Purezza Scirocco Siaflo 9 bar or Aquatec 17 bar and organize drying.

1. Inspect the carpet before cleaning
Check the backing, edges, seams, repaired areas and faded zones. Ask about the fibre composition, unknown stains and previous treatments. Apply a small amount of working solution to a hidden area and test colour transfer with a white towel. If the pile bleeds or the backing is unstable, agree on limitations before starting.

The tool should match carpet width, pile height and extractor output.
2. Prepare the surface and solution
- Dry vacuuming. Vacuum in two directions, including edges and areas under furniture.
- Pre-spray. Apply a thin, even layer and never mix products without checking compatibility.
- Spot treatment. Treat difficult marks locally and respect the product dwell time.
- Foam control. Use a defoamer when needed to reduce foam entering the recovery tank.
Extra solution does not make a carpet cleaner. It extends drying time and can move soil from the backing back into the pile. The Purezza extractor should rinse the material and recover solution, not flood the carpet.
3. How to choose a carpet extractor tool
Carpet tools differ by working width, pile contact and flow stability. A narrow tool is useful on stairs, corridors and around furniture; a wide tool reduces passes across open areas. Match the tool to hose diameter, nozzle, working pressure and vacuum of the selected Purezza version.
| Task | What matters | Practical choice |
|---|---|---|
| Office carpet | Large area and repeatable pace | Wide carpet tool and stable flow |
| High-pile carpet | Protect the pile and avoid soaking the backing | Moderate flow, slower movement and strong recovery |
| Stairs and narrow areas | Manoeuvrability and edge access | Compact tool of a suitable width |
| Heavy local soil | Pre-treatment matters more than pressure | Spot treatment and controlled passes |

4. Working with Purezza Scirocco on carpet
Both Purezza Scirocco versions provide 360 mbar vacuum and 15-litre recovery and 14-litre solution tanks. Siaflo is described as up to 9 bar at a 0.15 nozzle. The Aquatec card lists 15 bar, 250 PSI and 3.8 l/min; the website model name is “17 bar”. Confirm the current configuration before ordering.
| Parameter | Purezza Scirocco Siaflo 9 bar | Purezza Scirocco Aquatec 17 bar |
|---|---|---|
| Vacuum | 360 mbar | 360 mbar |
| Product-card delivery | Up to 9 bar at a 0.15 nozzle | 15 bar, 3.8 l/min |
| Tanks | 15 l recovery / 14 l solution | 15 l recovery / 14 l solution |
| When to choose | Carpets and regular mobile work with moderate flow | Higher workload and productive carpet tools |
Start with the minimum effective flow. Move the tool evenly, do not stop in one area and watch the recovery tank. Make one or two vacuum-only passes after the wet pass. On pile carpets, avoid rushing: extra water extends drying.
5. Drying carpet after extraction
Expose the carpet to air from several sides, do not fold it while wet and do not cover it with plastic. Maintain ventilation without rapidly over-cooling the material. For large areas or a busy schedule, use the U3DP Clean SU-290 drying unit, listed at 290 W, 3,200 m³/h and 5 kg.
Directed airflow completes the process after extraction.
6. Common carpet-cleaning mistakes
- No dry vacuuming, so loose soil becomes a slurry.
- Too much solution, which keeps the backing wet.
- One setting for every pile instead of a material-based mode.
- No vacuum-only recovery passes.
- No customer instructions about ventilation and return to use.

Can every carpet be cleaned with a Purezza extractor?
No. Check fibre composition, colourfastness and backing stability first. Unstable materials may require a low-moisture process.
Which Purezza version is better for carpet?
Siaflo suits regular work with controlled flow. Aquatec is useful for higher workload and productive carpet tools. Technique matters as much as pressure.
Why does a carpet dry slowly?
Over-wetting, no vacuum-only passes, poor airflow and a dense backing are common causes. Check flow and use directed drying.
Can the SU-290 be used after Purezza?
Yes, after extraction and recovery of free water. Position it securely and use a suitable 220 V circuit.
How should carpet cleaning be organized in a Moscow apartment?
Protect the floor, control water use, provide ventilation and explain the drying period before the customer uses the carpet.
