U.S. Products Multiple Surfaces, One Machine — Everyone Satisfied I If you think maintaining office carpet is tough, try cleaning the carpet in a 1,564-seat theatre. Just ask Alan Covel about the challenges of maintaining the theatreʼs carpets. As head of cleaning and maintenance for The Rosebud Theatre in Effingham, IL, he con-tends with spills, stains, walked-in grease and soil and much more from thousands of people. A year ago, when it became time to select a new machine to maintain the theatreʼs carpets, Alan knew there was only one machine that was up to the job — the King Cobra 1200 PRO from U.S. Products. The 1200 PRO is a dual-surface machine, meaning it can clean hard-sur-face floors as well as carpet. For hard-surface cleaning, the machine offers 1,200 pounds of pressure per square inch (PSI) for pressure washing hard-sur-face floors at a rate of 2.2 gallons per minute (GPM). For professional carpet and upholstery cleaning, the 1200 PRO has an adjustable 150-500 PSI pump and a 2,000-watt inline heater for instant 212-degree Fahrenheit heated water at the wand tip. The King Cobra 1200 PRO is gold-certi-fied by the Carpet and Rug Institute, the highest standard if its kind. The 1200 PRO also comes equipped with an onboard hose reel with 25 feet of high-pressure solution line and crush-proof vacuum hose for easy transport and quick setups. The standard auto-fill and auto-dump dramatically increases productivity with uninterrupted cleaning. Asked what he likes most about the 1200 PRO, Alan explains: The heating system for sure; itʼs a “burst of heat” right from the start, which makes using the machine much more effective on the carpet clean-ing side. The Smart Circuit System, which automatically locates separate circuits, eliminating blown circuits. The Turbo hard-sur-face floor tool that easily and effective-ly cleans in all directions. “We have almost an acre under the roof here and a lot of it is hard-surface flooring,” says Alan. “The floor attach-ment is perfect for quick and thorough cleaning of hard-sur-face floors, and it means one machine can do two jobs, a cost-savings to boot.” Alan did not have to checkout a lot of machines before he selected the 1200 PRO. At one time, he was a janitorial distributor, so he already knew many of the machines on the market. “I talked it over with my boss and told him the only machine I really wanted was the 1200 PRO,” he states. “The more my boss heard about the 1200 PRO, [the more] he was sold, too, and said, ʻLetʼs get it.ʼ” CM Circle Product Information no. 154 This information was provided by U.S. Products as part of a paid advertisement.
