Mytee Extractors For Professional Auto Detail Shops

Understanding the Many Types of Mytee Extractors

Mytee is a famed brand name in the carpet extractor space. The inherent quality of their products has a lot to do with this, yet their diverse lineup of extractors- offering a specific extractor for just about any job- is another key driver of their success. You can safely divide the Mytee extractor lineup into three major categories- light duty, medium duty, and heavy duty. Here are a few popular models for each type.

Light Duty Extractor

The light duty extractors from Mytee are the most maneuverable of the three primary types. A light, compact option such as the S-300 Tempo Spotter Extractor includes specifications such as a 1-gallon tank capacity, a 2-stage vacuum motor, and a 55 PSI pump. Ideally, these light duty extractors are used by low volume detailing shops, mobile detailers, and any shop which is working with limited space. It will easily handle light detailing tasks, quick cleanups, and spot cleaning.

Medium Duty Extractors

Move one step up the power and size ladder and you'll find a medium duty Mytee extractor. A good example of this kind of extractor would be the HP90 Stingray Heated Extractor. This extractor touts a 5 gallon tank capacity, 120 PSI pump, 1200-watt heater, and a 3-stage vacuum motor. It's best to go for a medium duty extractor such as this if you're seeking serious power and longevity, along with usable portability and a reasonable footprint. A model such as this can handle spot cleaning tasks yet also is capable enough for a full detailing job.

Heavy Duty Extractors

Last on the list would be the largest, most powerful extractors- the heavy duty lineup. The LTD3 speedster LTD Extractor is a good example. Offering a huge 11 gallon tank capacity, this cleaner also provides access to a 500 PSI pump, 1600-watt heater, and dual 3-stage vacuum motors. The most intense, demanding jobs can be accomplished with this heavy duty unit. The high levels of power and heating will help you comfortably tackle grime, dirt, restorations, and stains. While it does afford some mobility, it isn't the best choice if you plan to move around a lot for your detailing duties.

Rotary Extractors

A bonus category of Mytee extractors would be their lineup of rotary extractors. These are for specific use cases, notably cleaning rugs and carpeting. Certain buses and RVs which use carpeted floors are also a possible use case. Rotary extractors function in a similar manner to pressure washing surface cleaners in that they have a large circle-shaped cleaning head with a wide cleaning path. These specialty carpet cleaners use solution jets, vacuum glides, and agitating brushes on the cleaning head that spin rapidly to clean carpet quickly and effectively. A good example would be the T-REX-JR Rotary Extractor featuring a 12" spinning head.

Heated vs Non-Heated Extractor

One of many decisions to be made when choosing an extractor is heated vs. non-heated. Each have their own merits, which we're happy to breakdown for you.

Heated Extractor

• Heated extractors use an internal heating element to raise the temperature of the cleaning solution, allowing it to break down dirt, grease, and stubborn stains more effectively
• The increased cleaning power is especially valuable for auto detailers who encounter heavily soiled carpets or need to remove tough contaminants from upholstery and vehicle interiors
• Many professionals choose heated extractors for deep cleaning and stain removal

Non-Heated Extractor

• Non-heated extractors offer cleaning performance for lighter jobs while typically being lighter, more portable, and faster to set up
• Non-heated units are often preferred for spot treatments, routine maintenance, or use on heat-sensitive fabrics

Since each detailing business has unique requirements, understanding the differences between these two extractor types ensures you select the right tool for any cleaning challenge. Moreover, both heated and non-heated Mytee models uphold the brand’s reputation for reliability and performance, giving users confidence regardless of their choice.

Mytee Extractors: Maintenance and Trouble Shooting

Regular maintenance is essential for keeping your Mytee carpet extractor running at peak performance and extending its service life. So what can you do to ensure peak performance over the long haul? Here are a few ideas:

• Always empty and rinse the recovery tank after each job to prevent debris buildup and foul odors, while routinely checking and cleaning filters assures consistent suction power
• It is important to inspect hoses and electrical cords for any signs of wear or damage before each use, since this reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns during demanding auto detailing tasks
• Descaling the machine’s internal components according to the manufacturer’s recommendations helps maintain heating efficiency and prevents mineral deposits in heated models
• If a problem arises—such as loss of suction, power issues, or leaks—start troubleshooting by confirming that all connections and seals are intact and that no blockages are present in the hoses or spray tips
• For persistent issues, consulting the user manual or contacting Mytee customer support can provide detailed instructions and solutions specific to your model

By maintaining a regular schedule for upkeep and addressing issues as soon as they occur, auto detailing professionals and cleaning professionals can rely on their Mytee extractors for efficient, trouble-free operation job after job.
