Where does your crew lose time?

Small delays reduce how much work gets finished during every shift.

Crews lose time walking back for supplies, refilling tanks, moving equipment and waiting for carpet to dry before the next area can be cleaned.

Across a shift, lost minutes reduce finished square footage and crew productivity.

Here’s how to get that time back. Focus on four areas:
• Cut wasted steps
• Shorten training
• Measure finished square footage
• Reduce physical work that doesn’t improve cleaning

Track where crews walk, wait, refill, repeat or reposition.

Then improve the process and choose equipment that helps crews finish more space in less time.

You know your crews can cover more. Here’s where to find the lost time, and how to get it back.

Better cleaning starts with better portability.

Give crews the access, pressure and heat to clean more spaces.

Offices, smaller buildings and tight stairways can be difficult to clean with larger extraction equipment.

The Cobra MAX 500H brings full-strength extraction into those areas in a more portable machine.

Crews can adjust pressure from 50 to 500 PSI, use heated extraction and work longer with a 10-gallon tank — all in a machine built to move more easily through tighter spaces.

That means better access to the areas crews need to clean, with the power to

Move easily between rooms. Reach tighter spaces. Deliver the cleaning power each job requires.

Still dragging the line?

Large facilities expose the limits of short hose runs.

Every equipment move costs time.
Crews stop cleaning, reposition the extractor and reset the hose.

The Pegasus Platinum 1350 extends hose reach up to 150 feet, so crews can cover more area before moving the machine.

That added reach helps professional cleaning teams work more efficiently in hospitality, medical, residential, retail, food service and other large facilities with demanding hard-surface cleaning needs. Building service contractors can cover more area with fewer equipment moves.

For distributors, the Pegasus Platinum 1350 adds a portable high-performance option for customers who need extended reach on larger commercial jobs.

One cord or two? It depends on the job.

Available power.
Cleaning demands.
How often crews need to move.

Dual-cord extractors bring more power, heat, and recovery.

The right extractor lets crews work with the power available and still deliver the performance the job demands.

U.S. Products builds both single- and dual-cord systems for more facilities and more types of work.

One cord or two, the goal is the same: finish more jobs and grow the business.

Built for coverage. And built for speed.

When crews have thousands of square feet of carpet ahead of them, every pass counts.

The Sharp Shooter 13-inch wand helps crews cover more surface, recover more water on the first pass, and move smoothly through long cleaning jobs.

Engineered airflow increases suction and lift across the full cleaning path. More water comes out. Surfaces dry faster. The lightweight composite glide keeps the wand moving smoothly as the square footage adds up.

And the Sharp Shooter is built strong in the USA to do it again tomorrow. And the day after that.

A powder-coated 6061-T6 aluminum tube, stainless-steel manifold, and 13-inch cleaning path give crews the durability and coverage professional work demands.

Cover more. Recover more. Keep moving.
