The Certified Pile Brush is a very heavy duty vacuum that weighs 67 lbs used for removing deeply embedded dry soil from carpet. The machine cost $1700 but looks to be able to withstand an atom bomb.
My commercial business is growing and have discovered that the majority of the first time clients have not only waited far too long to hire me but also I discover a $59 vacuum cleaner setting in the corner. My question is: Has anyone used one of these machines or heard from someone that has? I feel it would be a great tool for these dirt empacted carpets. I believe Jim Dicky & Barry Lowenthow own one. If one of you guys read this, please reply.Never heard of it but have used a dyson before. Talk about “suck”. That thing will suck the concrete off the bottom of the padding bro. A customer had the dyson mentioned above and I tried it out just out of curiousity and the damn thing almost ate the carpet. If there is a snag on the carpet or loose fibers; I would recommend to customers be careful of these dyson suckers. Sorry can’t help you on the pile brush issue.

NOT SURE I WOULD WANT TO PAY 1800.00 FOR AN 80LB VACCUUM CLEANER
I’ve heard of these before. Seen them listed as “Pile Lifters” or something like that before. You would have to clean A LOT of commercial carpet in order to justify the purchase in my opinion.
It comes with a “vegetable brush”? I’m from Nebraska and like meat, are there other options? Like a t-bone brush? What is a vegetable brush? Are the bristles made of broccoli?
they finally found a good use for broccolli!!!!!!! Thank goodness
If one goes to EBay and puts in Pile Brush you might find one for sale a lot cheaper…I did and spent less than $150 I was patient). It is a powerful tool and I have used a few times. It does work…others in the co have and have more experience than I do with one. I have yet to charge for its use however.
It is CRI approved.
I have never heard of such.
It is my understanding the “Dry Clean” people use this machine before they put down the “pixie dust” and vacuum it up. I had a client tell me the fella in my area has done a great job with this method but had to cut back due to lack of work. I think it is harder to sell the Dry Clean method than our low moisture for sure. This machine is an absolute brute though.
I find commercial carpet to be poly for the most part…why use this type for this type (no pile) of carpet ?
I have never used a pile lifter, but if I found one for the right price I would take it for sure. From what I remember about them they are really good for comercial carpet. It will get 10x more dirt out of the carpet then a regular conquest. Just like the Buffer more weight is a good thing. The brushes are much bigger and all bristles. I am venturing into more traditional comercial accounts and it is on my santa list.
