Are you trying to argue with me or agree, because I said "not to mention the many other earlier mentioned reasons.".  That one specifically being mentioned like 10 times. Also the grandi groomer is great for cheap ass carpet because it does not pull at the nap like some of the thicker heavy groomers out there, that are too hard on the fiber.]]> Wed, 11 Apr 2007 21:51:11 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3438&PID=103728&title=do-you-rake#103728 <![CDATA[Do you rake : found this on a web site.

the only reason you need, it looks good! customer appreciates it. Get a grandi groom much easier on you and the carpet than harder older groomers. I can groom 2000sqft in 5 min. another thing many many people like the way it looks so nice they want to know where to buy one, and if you have a few to resale... any way you get the point. not to mention the many other earlier mentioned reasons.]]> Tue, 10 Apr 2007 00:35:06 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3438&PID=103460&title=do-you-rake#103460 <![CDATA[Do you rake : Pre-raking is to distribute the...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3438&PID=87487&title=do-you-rake#87487 Author: Ninja-wand

Pre-raking is to distribute the Prespray. Post-Raking is mainly for distributing Protectors and take out wand marks. Again, It does minimal or close to nill for increase drying ( I should know, I tested on my own damn carpet). Nuff said! Done! Lets all move on!!

Ok, so that answers my question.  May affect the long-term performance.  Don't see how raking would have any thing to do with performance any ways.  Has noting to do with drying. If the carpet if vacuumed after would remove any cleaning marks.  So only advantage I'm seeing is for protectors (which I do) as far as a purpose other then cosmetic.  So it would be worth while to use the time to rake and spend more time cleaning, or at the next job.  My point is not being lazy if something makes a difference on the carpet getting cleaner I'll do it, but if it has no effect on getting cleaner carpet is a waste of time.  Like if you spray air freshener after you done.  May smell nice and clean but has no effect on cleaning.

Un-groomed carpet in entry, pivot and high traffic areas could cause consumers to question the carpet’s performance (matting and crushing), or it might contribute to uneven wear in matted areas.

Grooming is essential for removing rotary swirls or wand marks in carpet. Moreover, grooming is essential for uniform distribution of carpet protectors or other post-cleaning additives when called for during finalizing procedures.

For this reason, grooming is included in the principles of cleaning. Also, it is essential on longer-pile designs, not only for appearance sake but also for proper drying.

Just do it right and stop looking for steps to to get out of.

Post-Raking the carpet may take out the wand marks...But, it does minimal to help with drying. Test out for yourself.
