I've been experimenting with different carpet cleaning chemicals,I found a combo that works well for me. But can I use ONR in an extractor?

It happens sometimes that there is a prior damage to the floor boards, but the people who rent the apartment are not warae of it. Can you try and contact the people who lived there before you moved in and ask them about the condition of the carpets and floors. It would help you a lot. ]]> Wed, 05 Oct 2011 09:34:27 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6742&PID=164394&title=carpet-cleaning-damage#164394 <![CDATA[Carpet Cleaning Damage : sekagreyt22 wrote: As much...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6742&PID=164206&title=carpet-cleaning-damage#164206 Author: John L

True... Why would you use a high pH on a lightly soiled carpet? You wouldn't.
Did you get your deposit back?

If the carpet is wool, the wrong chemical used can change its colour easily. I would say the tenant used the wrong soap/chemical on the carpet..

I must not have made that clear.  I was using my TM on a berber with an enzyme and degreaser pre-spray.  The landlord called me after her renter used a rental porty on the carpets.  Beats me why the color was faded when I arrived, but cleaning it professionally didn't help, so it wasn't soap residue.  Assuming the landlord isn't making up the fact that the carpets were fine before the renters tried cleaning them, I'm just taking a stab in the dark figuring the concentration of the soap in the porty her renters used might be what wrecked the color in the carpet.  But then I've never tried cleaning carpets with a Rug Doctor myself.  Just heard the horror stories.  I'm sure we've all been called in many times after someone tried a rental porty.

It would appear to me from reading these two posts the neither of you know squat about carpet cleaning other than what you read on the instruction sheet that came with either your machine or the chemical jug.Guitar

As much as possible, use the mildest cleaning products available in the market on your carpet. Use only harsher ones with stubborn stains and certain spillages. Mild carpet shampoos are still always the best solution.

I just cleaned the carpets in a rental unit where the renters used some kind of portable on them (probably Rug Dr, lots of places rent them here).  There were these big areas where the carpet was lighter colored. I figured it had left areas of soap residue and that it might rinse out.  Not happening.  Carpet looked about the same when I was finished.  Seems to me the porty must have done a crappy job of mixing the soap and ended up spewing out concentrated solution on certain areas.  Kind of like pouring the soap on your clothes before the washer fills up with water.  You get bleach marks.  Needless to say, the owner was none to happy and will demand that her renters don't use rental portys.  Nothing but trouble.
