Some carpet cleaning equipment claiming 95% recovery of dirty water may use 300 gallons or more in a typical day's cleaning. (95% of 300 = 15 gallons left in the carpet.) But most equipment has no way to actually monitor recovery since the recovered water is either pumped out onto the ground or directly into a drain. Some hook up to a faucet for water supply so there isn't even a way to measure the amount of water used.
Engineering carpet cleaning systems to recover more than 95%* of the water used in the hot water extraction process means less residual matter, too. Even clean water will leave trace elements on the tip of the carpet fiber of any mineral or chemical content as it evaporates. Bane-Clene Systems use only 0.5 ounces of cleaning agent to a gallon of water.
Bane-Clene's exclusive positive moisture control system means recovery can be monitored by an operator. The exact amount of water used and the exact amount recovered is measured and can be compared. (95% of 100 = 5 gallons left in the carpet) and that's a full day's production of up to 8,000 Square Feet of carpet.
*Actual tests of Bane-Clene equipment have recovered as much as 97.3%.
