The Hydro-Force CX-15 rotary carpet cleaning tool is a crossover wand that bridges the gap between a standard cleaning wand and a heavy electric rotary machine. Running on 400 to 800 PSI from a portable or truckmount, its twin jets spin to make over 4,000 cleaning passes per minute, attacking carpet fibers from every direction for a deeper, more uniform clean than a back-and-forth wand stroke.
Because the CX-15 agitates from every angle rather than relying on a single push-and-pull stroke, it lifts soil that a flat wand leaves behind, and the enclosed spinning head holds overspray down so adjacent walls and baseboards stay clean. Technicians reach for it on whole-house jobs and restaurant dining rooms where speed and a fast dry time keep the schedule moving and let furniture go back sooner. The two included spray bars let one tool flex between gentle residential work and aggressive commercial cleaning simply by switching bars and adjusting pressure. With a ceramic Mosmatic swivel and a POM glide engineered for smooth travel, the CX-15 keeps moving easily across the carpet face, and at 20 pounds it spares the operator the fatigue and wall damage that come with wrestling a full-size electric rotary up stairs and around furniture.

Frequently asked questions
What pressure does the CX-15 need?
It needs a minimum of 400 PSI and a maximum of 800 PSI. A 500 PSI portable with heat, such as a dual 3-stage MX3-500H, supplies plenty of pressure and heat to run it well.
What is the difference between the two spray bars?
The residential bar uses a wider fan pattern angled for faster rotation at lower pressure. The commercial bar uses a narrow fan pattern angled to run up to 800 PSI for blasting clean greasy, heavily soiled restaurant carpet.
Does it leave carpet drier than a wand?
Yes. The Hydro-Glide design at the recovery opening improves water removal, so carpets come out cleaner and drier than typical wand or rotary-machine cleaning.
Can I use it on stairs and upper floors?
At 20 lbs it is light enough to carry upstairs easily, and because there is no rotary rocking action it will not ding walls or knock over fixtures the way a heavy electric rotary can.
