The Hydro-Force Brush Pro MH170 is a 17-inch counter-rotating brush (CRB) machine built for commercial carpet cleaners and restoration pros who need a machine that runs all day without babying. Twin brushes spin at 380 RPM to lift soil from every side of the carpet fiber, making it a fast, low-moisture tool for encapsulation cleaning, interim maintenance and hard-surface scrubbing.
A counter-rotating brush machine is increasingly the centerpiece of a low-moisture maintenance program because it cleans without soaking the carpet, so floors are walk-on-ready in a fraction of the time of hot-water extraction. The 17-inch MH170 is the size most commercial cleaners standardize on: wide enough to move quickly down hallways and open offices, but still maneuverable around cubicles and furniture. Because the brushes lift soil from deep in the pile to the surface, the MH170 also works as a pre-grooming step ahead of extraction on heavily soiled accounts, and the same machine doubles as a hard-surface and grout scrubber so a crew can carry one tool instead of two.
