Vacuuming removes what sits on the carpet's surface. Extraction removes what is embedded in it.

That distinction matters for any commercial facility running carpet through heavy foot traffic, school hallways, healthcare waiting rooms, or office buildings. What a vacuum leaves behind- allergens, soil, residue, and buildup from months of use- does not go away on its own. It packs down deeper every time someone walks across it.

Walk-behind carpet extractors inject cleaning solution and pull it back out in the same pass, removing the embedded material. The results are different from what a vacuum can produce, and they are visible. Carpet extracted on a consistent schedule holds its appearance longer, supports better indoor air quality, and doesn't reach the point where replacement becomes the only option.

Equipment performance comes down to vacuum motor strength, pump pressure, water lift rating, and tank capacity. Undersized equipment on a large commercial space is one of the most common mistakes D&E Supply sees, along with over-wetting, skipping pre-treatment, and not extracting frequently enough.

D&E Supply breaks down what to look for in a walk-behind extractor, covers the most common mistakes, and outlines what the right machine can do for your facility.

As summer winds down, fleet vehicles carry the evidence of it: road dust, bug splatter, and months of grime that build up faster than any wash schedule can keep up with. Before fall weather turns and road salt season creeps back in, late summer is the right time to get ahead of it.

Betco CTW501 Car and Truck Wash is a concentrated liquid blend built for exactly that kind of workload. The formula combines synthetic detergents, emulsifiers, and wetting agents that loosen and float away dirt, grime, insects, and road film without the harsh film-forming soaps found in many general-purpose washes. Painted surfaces, windows, and chrome come out spotless and streak-free, and because the concentrate stretches further per gallon, a single case covers a lot of ground.

For fleets, dealerships, school bus operations, and any facility running a wash bay heading into the fall season, that combination of performance and value matters. You are not just washing a vehicle. You are protecting an asset that represents your business every time it pulls up to a job site, a school, or a customer's front door.

D&E Supply carries the full lineup of car and truck wash products, along with the wash bay equipment and accessories that complete the system. Supplying North Dakota and the Midwest since 1966.

Odor in a commercial facility is rarely just a smell. It is usually a sign that something upstream was not addressed, whether that is a floor drain, an under-maintained restroom, or a can liner left too long. As students and staff return to buildings this month and locker rooms, restrooms, and cafeterias see traffic pick up again, those problems tend to surface quickly.

The most effective approach treats the odor at the source rather than masking it with fragrance. That means targeting uric acid buildup around fixtures, keeping floor drains on a regular treatment schedule, and matching can liner change frequency to actual waste volume rather than a fixed routine that no longer fits.

We put together a full breakdown of what actually works for odor control in commercial facilities, including where to focus first and the most common mistakes that keep the problem coming back.
D&E Supply has helped North Dakota facilities manage odor and restroom care since 1966. Our team can help you build a program that gets ahead of the problem before back-to-school traffic makes it worse.

Late August and early September bring unpredictable weather in North Dakota, and every bit of rain or early moisture that gets tracked into an entryway turns into a slip-and-fall risk if the floor does not dry quickly.

The Betco FiberPro Air Mover is built to address exactly that. With three speed settings, three operating positions, and fan speeds up to 1,500 rpm from a 0.4 horsepower motor, it moves enough air to dry entryways, lobbies, and recently mopped or extracted floors well ahead of a standard dry time. The rugged roto-mold construction holds up to daily use, the stackable design keeps storage simple between uses, and two daisy-chain outlets let you run multiple units off a single connection for larger spaces.

Whether it is drying carpet after an extraction job or keeping a school entryway safe during a wet morning drop-off, having a reliable air mover on hand is a straightforward way to reduce liability and keep floors safer for everyone walking through.

D&E Supply carries the full Betco FiberPro equipment line for carpet and floor care. Supplying North Dakota and the Midwest since 1966.

As students and staff head back into buildings this month, daily floor maintenance becomes a bigger part of the routine again, and many facilities are also under pressure to meet sustainability goals without sacrificing performance.

Betco Green Earth Daily Floor Cleaner is formulated to do both. The neutral pH, low-foaming formula wets, emulsifies, and suspends soil from polished floor surfaces without dulling the finish underneath, which means your floors stay clean and keep their shine through a full academic year of heavy foot traffic. It is Green Seal certified and EcoLogo certified, all ingredients are readily biodegradable, and the formula is fragrance-free, which matters in facilities with scent-sensitive students, staff, or patients.

The super-concentrated FastDraw packaging also means a lower end-use cost per gallon, so meeting your sustainability standards does not have to mean stretching your supply budget beyond what is necessary.

D&E Supply's Clean Degrees program helps schools source cost-effective, dependable cleaning solutions like this one. Supplying North Dakota and the Midwest since 1966.

Empty dispensers, wasted paper, and constant roll changes are not just an inconvenience. In a high-traffic restroom, they turn into a steady stream of maintenance calls and complaints, and the labor cost of constantly refilling adds up fast.

The GP Pro Compact Quad 4-Roll Coreless Toilet Paper Dispenser is built to break that cycle. It holds up to 6,000 two-ply sheets, or 12,000 one-ply sheets, which means far fewer trips back to restock, even in schools, healthcare facilities, and office buildings with heavy daily traffic. The coreless design eliminates cardboard cores entirely, so facilities get closer to full paper usage instead of losing product to stub rolls and litter, and a reliable roll-advancing system keeps paper moving smoothly without the jamming or free-spinning that causes most user complaints.

The fully enclosed, hygienic housing protects unused rolls until the current one is completely used, and a key-lock system keeps supply secure in facilities where that matters. Manufactured by Georgia-Pacific Professional, the dispenser's compact footprint and clean black finish fit into almost any restroom layout without looking out of place.

D&E Supply carries the full GP Pro coreless dispensing lineup, along with compatible tissue rolls to keep it running. Supplying North Dakota and the Midwest since 1966.

Emptying a shop vacuum sounds like a small task until you are the one lifting a full 20-gallon tank overhead to dump it, over and over, across a full shift. That is where many back injuries and messes come from, and it is entirely avoidable with the right equipment.

The Betco Workman Tip and Pour Wet/Dry Vacuum is built around solving exactly that problem. Its innovative tip-and-pour design lets your team empty the tank without lifting or straining, and the built-in handle and transport wheels make moving it between job sites straightforward. A powerful 1.75-horsepower motor handles both wet and dry pickup, and the swivel-lock vacuum hose keeps the cord and hose from tangling mid-job.

The interchangeable head assembly and included tool kit mean that one unit can handle multiple cleanup scenarios, and an optional front-mount squeegee assembly further extends its use for facilities that need it.

For building service contractors managing multiple accounts and in-house maintenance teams handling everything from spills to seasonal deep cleans, equipment that reduces staff strain pays for itself through fewer injuries and faster turnaround.

D&E Supply carries the full Betco Workman equipment line. Supplying North Dakota and the Midwest since 1966.

Once a facility's floor space grows past what a walk-behind scrubber can handle efficiently, labor hours start piling up fast. A rider scrubber changes that equation, and the IPC Eagle CT80 is built to make the switch worthwhile.

A few features that stand out for larger facilities:
- A tight 72-inch turn radius that still maneuvers through narrow aisles, hallways, and cafeteria tables
- A 22-gallon water tank and 480-watt motor built for extended runs without constant refilling
- A 115AH AGM battery with an onboard charger delivering up to 2.5 hours of continuous run time
- Self-Leveling System technology that automatically adjusts brush pressure to the floor surface
- Theoretical productivity of more than 19,000 square feet per run, with Eco Select technology cutting water and energy use by up to 20 percent

Three preset operating programs allow an operator to start cleaning with a single button, and color-coded parts make daily maintenance checks straightforward for staff who are not equipment specialists.

For schools, warehouses, and large commercial buildings looking to cut cleaning time without cutting corners, this is the kind of equipment upgrade that pays for itself in labor hours saved.

D&E Supply carries a full line of rider and walk-behind scrubbers to match your facility's square footage. Supplying North Dakota and the Midwest since 1966.

Pallet wrap seems like a simple product until it fails mid-shipment and a load shifts on the truck. At that point, the few cents saved on a cheaper film cost a lot more in damaged product and rework.

Alpha Series HW Performance Plus hand stretch film is built to withstand real warehouse conditions. This blown film elongates 200 to 300 percent, which means it stretches to secure a load tightly without tearing, and it performs well across a wide range of equipment and load types. At 18 inches wide, 0.80 gauge, and 1,500 feet per roll, it is sized for standard hand-wrap applications in distribution centers, warehouses, and industrial facilities.

For operations shipping and storing palletized product regularly, whether that is oil and gas equipment, retail inventory, or industrial supplies, a stretch film that holds its integrity through handling and transport is not a minor detail. It is part of protecting the product itself.

D&E Supply carries a full range of stretch wrap gauges and sizes to match your specific application. Supplying North Dakota and the Midwest since 1966.

Can liners are among the most purchased items in any facility and among the most misunderstood. A liner that is too thin fails under the weight of the waste it is holding. A liner that is too heavy for the job costs more than it needs to. Getting the specification right is a small decision that adds up to real savings or real headaches over the course of a year.

A few things worth checking on your current program: high-density liners work well for food service, restrooms, and light office waste, while low-density liners hold up better against sharp edges and heavier loads. Gauge should match the actual weight and type of waste, not just habit or what has always been ordered. And liner size should be based on your container's height and circumference, not guesswork.

We put together a full breakdown of how to match liner type, gauge, and size to your facility's specific applications, including a framework for restrooms, break rooms, offices, healthcare, and industrial areas.

D&E Supply has been helping North Dakota facilities get the details right since 1966. Our team can review your current liner specifications and help you find the right fit.
