Product details
Powr-Flite lists this at 18 inches as a carpet groomer tool. It is a Grandi Groom rake with a wood handle, the manual kind pushed through the pile by hand rather than a powered groomer. Raking stands crushed pile back up, works out visible traffic lanes, and leaves a uniform nap across the whole room once the job is finished.
Carpet cleaning crews use the same rake before extraction too, working spotters or dry compound down through the fibers so the treatment reaches soil sitting at the base of the pile rather than just the tips. Grooming after the fact speeds drying too, since standing the pile back up lets air move through it instead of across a flattened, matted surface. A rake reaches corners and edges a rotary groomer cannot get close to, which is why most crews carry both rather than relying on one tool alone.
Servicing this tool amounts to nothing more than keeping the wood handle dry between jobs so it does not swell, crack or warp, which is why crews tend to keep one permanently on the van and pick up a spare to leave at the shop. A rake this size also stores easily on a shelf or door hook between jobs, unlike bulkier powered groomers.
