The Hydro-Force SX-15 (AW105) is the 15-inch hard surface tile cleaning tool that high-volume commercial and tile-and-grout specialists choose when the work is large open floor areas - hotel lobbies, restaurant kitchens, gym locker rooms, supermarket checkout zones, and any tile floor where the production rate has to keep up with the square footage.
Built for
Tile-and-grout cleaning specialists running production work on large open floors. The 15-inch face cuts cleaning time roughly in half compared to a 12-inch spinner and dramatically against a wand alone, which is the difference between a 4-hour job and a 6-hour job on a typical commercial floor.
Restoration contractors on post-flood, water-damage, and post-construction tile cleanup. The SX-15 is sized for the large open floors that follow water events in hotels, schools, and commercial buildings.
Janitorial and facility maintenance teams on quarterly or annual deep tile-and-grout cleaning rotations. The 15-inch footprint is the right size for the hallways, locker rooms, and food-service kitchens that anchor a maintenance program.
15-inch high-pressure rotary head
Internal high-pressure jets spin the cleaning head at high RPM, agitating soil out of grout lines and the textured surface of porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone tile. The 15-inch face covers more square footage per pass than smaller heads while still being maneuverable enough for the corner and edge work that finishes the job.
Compatibility
Tool only - the SX-15 is sold as the cleaning head and ships separately from the extractor. It connects to portable carpet extractors and truck-mount systems running 200 to 1500 PSI working pressure with vacuum recovery sized for hard-surface work.

Frequently asked questions
What size extractor do I need?
The SX-15 works with extractors producing 200 to 1500 PSI. Higher pressure produces faster, more aggressive cleaning. The dual three-stage vacuum motor portables and most truck-mount systems are well-matched.
How is the SX-15 different from the SX-7?
The SX-15 is the 15-inch large-floor head. The SX-7 is the 7-inch detail and corner head. Tile-and-grout specialists who work both production-floor and detail jobs typically own both - they cover different parts of the same job.
What surfaces can it clean?
Ceramic and porcelain tile, natural stone (with appropriate cleaning chemistry), vinyl, sealed concrete, and grout. Not for unsealed natural stone or surfaces that can be damaged by high-pressure water.
Is the tool a complete unit?
The AW105 is the cleaning head only. It connects to your existing carpet extractor or truck-mount system. We stock the connecting hoses, vacuum couplings, and high-pressure quick-connect fittings as separate accessories.
