Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the CRB Clean-12 best suited for?
The CRB Clean-12 is perfect for cleaners who work a lot of residential jobs, stairs, apartments, and tight spaces. It’s also a great choice for companies that already have a larger CRB and want a lighter, more compact unit specifically for stairs, small rooms, and detail work.
How does the 12″ model compare to the 15″ and 20″ CRB Clean machines?
The 12″ is the most compact and easiest to handle, especially on stairs and in tight layouts. The 15″ is a great all-around size for mixed residential and commercial work, while the 20″ is best for big, open commercial areas. Many cleaners start with the 12″ or 15″ and add a larger unit later as their business grows.
What is the difference between CRB Clean machines and the Austrian models?
CRB Clean units deliver the same core CRB cleaning action—dual counter-rotating brushes, deep agitation, VLM compatibility—at a more economical price point. The Austrian machines are built heavier with a longer expected lifespan, while CRB Clean models are designed to give you strong performance and value, especially if you’re watching startup or expansion costs.
What cleaning methods can I use with the CRB Clean-12?
You can use it for encapsulation (VLM) cleaning, dry compound cleaning, pre-scrubbing before hot water extraction, pile lifting, grooming, and dry soil removal with the included trays. With the proper brushes and chemistry, it can also help on certain hard surfaces.
How fast do carpets dry when using this machine?
When paired with low-moisture or encapsulation detergents, the CRB Clean-12 uses significantly less water than traditional methods. In most VLM applications, carpets are typically dry in about an hour, making it ideal for homes, offices, and facilities that can’t be out of service for long.
Is the CRB Clean-12 easy to learn and maintain?
Yes. CRB machines are known for being simple to operate with minimal electronics. Training new technicians is straightforward, and everyday maintenance is as simple as removing and rinsing brushes, cleaning trays, and wiping down the machine.

Let customers speak for us
from 1495 reviewsI bought my Pro35 a few months ago and have been using it regularly ever since. Before this, I was relying on an Oreck Orbiter for all my agitation work — but that feels like ancient history now. The Pro35 is on a completely different level. It’s a top-tier machine and I honestly wouldn’t want to work without it. Easy to move around and built like a tank. Picked up the brown brushes and used em for some hard-floor cleaning, and the results were awesome.
I got the L2 sprayer and it works way better than I expected. It sprays smooth and steady, and the wand feels strong, not cheap. The wand is good quality. The upholstery hook up works great. Big thing is it works with batteries I already had on hand and lasts. Tired of those cheap battery sprayers that die after 20 minutes. Overall love it.
Just received the SM421AC, and it looks fantastic! It’s really powerful. I used it to clean the backyard floor. Initially, I used the Black Burnishing Pad, but later realized that a brush works better on the concrete surface. Next, I plan to use it to wax the house floors. I hope it works just as well.
I ordered two mop frames and received the package within the expected shipping timeframe. Unfortunately, one of the frames arrived damaged. I reached out to customer service, and they responded right away—very professional and helpful. They quickly arranged for a replacement, which arrived just a few days later. While the initial issue was disappointing, the prompt and efficient customer service made all the difference. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the company and would feel confident ordering from them again.
This is the best cleaning product I have ever used. Many others products I have used leave a film or build up and there were not cheap products.. not Lamanator Plus. I use a lot of there products from cleaners to mop and mop cloths. I love them all.
The complete home kit allowed me to finally get my laminate wood floor clean and it now looks better than its original condition. The instructions were clear and helpful. The products worked better than expected! Absolutely thrilled with how my floor turned out. It is worth putting in the time and effort to restore your flooring!
Your product has always been great. Infact it's the only solution that brings out the shine in our floors. Easy to use and produce results.
Great product for getting that buildup up off the floor, and leaves behind a beautiful floor. I am a Professional Homecleaner and recommend this product who work with floors, and for anyone, really, interested in making your floor shine!
Without this product, our floors would have needed to be replaced!!!!
