the problem with steam is that you never get the down deep dirt hense the wickbacks.
There is tons of soil embedded into the backing.
op you don't even come close to that dirt ...just off the top cleaning...like a hair cut alittle off the top...
See, I disagree with you, if you knew how many times I posted on the BBS that I was going to be in a cleaners town and asked if they had any bad spots for me to try to fix for them, funny thing is, on the BBS they all said NO, yet when I got to their homes, usually they had from 2-5 suck spots at different clients places. So far I took care of ALL those problems, usually the problem was wickbacks, they "thought" padding dry cleaned so I wouldn't get wickbacks, I SHOWED them that is NOT TRUE, I dug down and got dirt out they COULDN"T flush out, pad after pad of filth, once the pads lightened up, I told them they wouldn't see any more wickbacks, guess what? They didn't.

Padman can change his pads often because he's the pad importer any paying a fraction of what the hacks in Toronto pay for their pads...thats why they show up on the job with 1 pad LOL.
I met a guy in Toronto who drove all the way to Alabama to buy a machine & pads. How bad is it when you have to drive 20 hours one way to buy diapers?
I also seen a guy with an OP machine using red buffer pads hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I wonder who taught him that trick?

I just did the Ground floor of a Sears store VLM.... I would never truckmount it... it looked great. They where so happy...I was happy I got paid... but in my heart I know that it could have looked better if I rinsed it... but I didn't want to take the chance... it would have taken to long to dry and the wickbacks would have been a killer...
Padman you missed my point.....padding looks great but it's not truly clean and the carpet doesn't look as clean and as bright as it could...
the problem with steam is that you never get the down deep dirt hense the wickbacks.
There is tons of soil embedded into the backing.
op you don't even come close to that dirt ...just off the top cleaning...like a hair cut alittle off the top...
if you can't agree with that padman you know sh*t about cleaning.
This is the straight up truth

Ok kiddies, settle down...
truth is that both forms of cleaning are valid and oddly you are both right - in the right situation. I use both forms and in conjunction with each other, you'll perform miracles. the point both of you are missing however is not how it appears directly after cleaning, but how it looks and performs after drying, in particular 1 - 2 months AFTER the fact. That will provide all the proof you need and will stop any further argument. Mr Steamed-up, I have jobs that I have struggled with my U-Beaut T/M to clean and are a walk in the park that stay cleaner longer after encapping and the carpet has improved over subsequent cleans! By the same token Padman, I have jobs that I prefer to steam clean as they're jobs that padding is just too awkward and time-consuming to do, particularly in heavy spill situations on wool carpets; it just won't cut the mustard! But when you have a truly trashed carpet, nothing beats extraction then encapsulation cleaning. Both forms of cleaning are valid, it's a shame some people can't see past their own noses! |

10 out of 10 times it will look better why???
there is dirty and chemicals left on fiber that need to be rinsed.
so don't come with your bull try to make a guy look like an idiot.
If you knew anything about cleaning and not just your one version of...you would know the truth.
OPEN YOUR EYES... you can't because you don't have enough experience with different types of cleaning, your living in a world with rose colored glasses.

Admit what? I would put what I do up against what you do any day of the week. And NO I haven't seen your work. But I have gone up against so many guys in my travels, and surprised so many, that I doubt you would be any different. Do NOT mistake that for arrogance, it is just what I have experienced over and over.

Padman you know the truth.... IF you want to go around fooling these good people...I question your ability to get carpet really clean. OP is a "look clean" machine
admit it!

It looks to me like you might just be afraid some noob with an OP will take over YOUR work. Then you say get a cimex which removes NOTHING... you are a piece of work Steamer, but I have my doubts to your cleaning knowledge.

If you are a noob to carpet cleaning...PLEASE PLEASE don't buy an op machine and think that you are truly getting anything clean. trust me it's only a topwipe.... no dirt is being removed...
don't listen to padmans bull...
pictures will never show the true state of the carpet...
OP should never be used on cut pile residential carpet IMO
for commercial cleaning you need a million pads to do a good job...GET A CIMEX op is just CRAP

Don't know what your problem was, wasn't there, but if you were spreading dirt evenly, then you should NEVER be a padder.
Neither method gets it totally clean it is a gravity fed medium.
However, in the life of a carpet I can make it "look" better, STAY looking better for more of the time they own it than HWE ever could, so "even though I disagree with you" you think HWE is cleaner, I think most any customer would prefer it looking cleaner, lasting longer EVEN if you their cleaner thinks that is not true.

it's just like a bum... you wipe wipe wipe... it is never really clean
most don't change the pads as offten as it should be... so they just keep spreading the dirt...
I would say a 10 by 10 area would need at least 10 pads and still would never be truly clean...
a picture never truly shows whats there... I know you love to use pictures Paddaddy
one swipe with HWE and you'd see it is still really really dirty
