Yeah, I've had a few ask me to clean with water only. I politely tell them to go elsewhere ]]> Thu, 08 Nov 2007 01:06:28 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4335&PID=126484&title=petg-carpets#126484 <![CDATA[PETG Carpets : cmaster wrote:Unfortunately,...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4335&PID=126473&title=petg-carpets#126473 Author: duckcountry

Yeah, I have one customer who is convinced she is allergic to everything.  She has me back 3 times a year to clean her carpet with a Rotovac and straight hot water.  Looks like crap as the oily dirt keeps building up.  I want her husband to take her away from 2 days and have me over to do the job right with Green chemicals.  If I rinse it and then do it again with nothing but hot water everybody should be happy.

"Built in obsolescence"  is the  phrase used in the auto parts trade years ago.   The more PETG carpets you can specialize in doing, the more service contracts you can sell I think.

I warned him about that too.   When it does I hope he sees me as more credible.  And I sure hope I get to clean it again. <GRIN>]]> Wed, 07 Nov 2007 03:37:25 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4335&PID=126361&title=petg-carpets#126361 <![CDATA[PETG Carpets : It will resoil quickly ]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4335&PID=126358&title=petg-carpets#126358 Author: cmaster

I cleaned it with regular chemicals.  Had to use a Rotovac in a few spots.  Cleaned up quick.  It was green, fairly clean and 6 years old.  No kids but 2 well behaved dogs.  They were happy and I was too.]]> Tue, 06 Nov 2007 23:51:49 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4335&PID=126325&title=petg-carpets#126325 <![CDATA[PETG Carpets : Gasoline and a match ]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4335&PID=125369&title=petg-carpets#125369 Author: cmaster

That is what has me worried.  There is too great a chance of damage to the carpet by cleaning it.  I might just go Green highly diluted and hope the combination of a wand and rotovac only one the worse areas gets the job done.

I know I am going to hate that job.

Then again, I have carpet shampoo and an old Hild.  Might go with the old way of cleaning polyester and just shampoo the turd.
