I would say thousand PSI for tile and I would say about $450 for carpet if you're pre-spring you can pre spray with about 600 PSI but to clean it I would turn the PSI down so there's not so much water on the carpet]]> Mon, 05 Jun 2017 19:55:31 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5975&PID=167183&title=psi-for-cleaning-carpet-tile#167183 <![CDATA[Psi for Cleaning Carpet & Tile : these guys are right.

these guys are right. I go around 300-500 for carpet and 750-1500 for tile. Upholstery around 100. By the way, I've cleaned grout and tile with a ninja and carpet wand before (with a lip) before. The high PSI is nice but the key is to get a good viper venom mixture or use power burst by Dynachem (or both) and scrub that grout out by hand. I have a hard brush that is attached to a long stick (like a carpet rake). Scrub that grout out really good, get on your hands and knees if you have to and you'll see the grout SPARKLE even before hitting it with the tile/grout wand.

When equipment breaks, there are two things you can do. Either repair it on site or improvise hehe. For me, walking away from a job is not an option in that case so I've figure out ways to do the best job under bad circumstances without losing the ticket (hence I realized that you really DON'T need the high pressure to get a good clean on tile/grout).

Hi guys new user here. I know this is an old thread but was wondering what psi would you recommend for cleaning concrete?]]> Sun, 17 Nov 2013 21:54:42 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5975&PID=166334&title=psi-for-cleaning-carpet-tile#166334 <![CDATA[Psi for Cleaning Carpet & Tile : 400 psi for carpet 900 for tile...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5975&PID=163780&title=psi-for-cleaning-carpet-tile#163780 Author: dmreed4311

Carpet 4 - 5 hundred PSI

Tile some guys use no pressure

I think it really depends on the type of carpet and soiling conditions. If you're cleaning lightly soiled carpet IMO you don't need 500psi i clean at around 250-350 on an average.]]> Thu, 13 Jan 2011 18:56:12 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5975&PID=162757&title=psi-for-cleaning-carpet-tile#162757 <![CDATA[Psi for Cleaning Carpet & Tile : I normally go with 350 psi for...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5975&PID=162751&title=psi-for-cleaning-carpet-tile#162751 Author: NJPSR
