ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for cleaning carpet tiles is disclosed. The apparatus which accomplishes the present method includes a machine having a frame structure, a loading station connected to the frame structure and adapted for receiving a carpet tile, and an unloading station connected to the frame structure and adapted for allowing removal of a carpet tile from the machine. Infeed rollers are provided a cleaning compartment of the machine for continuously propelling a carpet tile from the loading station and over a nozzle bank which subjects the pile side of the carpet tile to a cleaning fluid spray. A scrubbing roller then scrubs the pile side of the carpet tile, and the carpet tile is next propelled over rinsing nozzles which rinse the cleaning fluid therefrom. After passing over the rinsing nozzles, the carpet tile is propelled from the cleaning compartment and to the unloading station by outfeed rollers which both squeeze excess fluid from the carpet tile and move the carpet tile over a vacuum slot which vacuums residual fluid therefrom.
