Carpet Cleaning Productivity Rate
Whittaker’s Innovative Low-Moisture Smart Care® System
There are several factors that are taken into consideration when determining the productivity rate and cost of carpet cleaning. Equipment type, frequency of cleanings, traffic to the carpeted area, size of the carpeted area, and more need to be considered when making carpet cleaning and maintenance decisions.
Third-party studies have verified Smart Care® production rates that are 5-6 times faster than conventional bonnet cleaning methods. The Carpet and Rug Institute has certified many of our systems through independent testing. The worker production rate for open areas with our 25″ Smart Care® TRIO is 20,000 sq. ft./hour. The Whittaker Smart Care® System is designed to optimize labor and simplify cleanliness outcomes with minimal disruption.
We created two easy-to-use online calculators to compare our Smart Care® TWIN and TRIO productivity rates to other systems and to calculate your cost savings using our program. Enter information-specific information (like your square footage and labor rates) and use interactive sliders to see how our Whittaker Clean program can save you money.

Cleaning productivity rates are calculated on a light soil load in unobstructed areas. Rates will change based on varying soil conditions, carpet construction, and area types.
