The
Sandia Sniper 6 gallon extractor is unheated, for use in several different cleaning situations. When cleaning indoors, an unheated machine can do all of the regular maintenance of routine, scheduled cleaning. Heated water will definitely speed up the cleaning process, but normal tap water will do just fine for your typical maintenance cleaning. For residential environments, we recommend cleaning your carpets every 3 to 6 months. If you are able to add hot tap water when cleaning, this machine will clean just as well as our
heated carpet extractors, but it will save you money by not having to invest in a more expensive heated extractor.

All of our
cold water carpet cleaning machines are great maintenance cleaners, but if you have some really heavily soiled carpets, it might be best to use one of our heated extractors. This 6 gallon extractor is also great for cleaning upholstery in your home, as well as your cars when adding one of our
upholstery cleaning tools. Again, using hot tap water will greatly increase the cleaning time of this machine when cleaning heavily soiled areas, but for routine maintenance, any degree water will work just fine.
