Prevac then you should always prespay to loosen
up (emulsify) the dryed in soils before extraction rinse..
And maybe some aggitation on the heavy soiled areas..
You can do it your way its a free Country but it wont
be AS CLEAN... Edited by John L - 05/October/2009 at 11:56am |

My mother (back in the day when we had wooven cotton carpet) would get down with a bucket of laundry detergent in water and a scrub brush to clean our carpet. Now the extractor is replacing my mother and her brush, but little has changed really in the past 60 years. Well, no phosphates due to algae bloom and it was powered laundry detergent in those days, but nope --- nothing has changed.
It should work. I would possibly try it on wool with woolite -- maybe! |

JohnL, what are you talking about pre spray for, there was no pre spray, just Tide in a 10 gallon extractor with softener and I cleaned the carpet, end of story. It's not complicated.

I found it, seventh generation makes liquid laundry soap - all their stuff is green - that is baby gentle and they have a fabric softener. I think I will apply the laundry soap with a showerfeed on the rotary and follow with the extractor containing fabric softener. Since this is white berber, I can easily tell if it is doing the job as well as you all report and I can watch for resoiling rates.

So you used it as a rinse agent? What did you use for a prespray?

I was the one cleaning with 1 capfull per 10 gallons of water, not nightrider . I was using a 10 gallon porty with a brush in front. I used that dilution to actually clean the carpet. The machine is only a 100 psi unit with a brush, that's it. Went over the area only once pulling back slowly, machine is 30 inches ( maybe smaller ) , trigger left open on the pump while I cleaned. Oh, I forgot I also put a capful of fabric softener with the Tide. Nightrider mentioned he did that in one of his posts, so I tried it. Went by the restaurant to get paid today and the carpet looked good, not sticky, and the owner happy. Gave me a free supper , then asked if I can clean his office for free next time I clean the place. lol

Wow, guess I’m going to have to try the Tide on a restaurant. Nightrider, I’m guessing you are just rinsing with one capful per 10 gallons of rinse water? Or, do you prespray? |

Glad to see you tried " Tide " out and gave it a chance to work its wonders as a cleaning agent. Yes, other detergents work equally as well ( look to see if it contains enzymes ) I prefer "Tide " because of its fragrance left behind after the job is done, the customers like it too. I did another 8 Chinese restaurants last week all with " Tide " and all with great results. My customers know I use " Tide " and I am not afraid to show off the container. Some laugh and don't believe it's "Tide " When I wash my hands with it and offer them some to take home to ask their wife.....they believe.....they believe more when they see the results of the carpet, some that don't use " Tide " at home are now switching over from what they are using now. I love the demo of washing my hands with it, and then I say " Do you think I would be washing my hands with a caustic carpet chemical " One guy took a capfull, put it into his sink, filled it with hot water and put all his kitchen rags to soak over night including his chefs apron. Not one has ever disputed the price because I use " Tide " . I even tell them to buy some in case of a coffee spill or whatever, and I tell them to suck it up with a shop vac for a quick fix.

Sorry , I didn't take any pictures, didn't even think of that. How do you post pictures here anyway . Next time I will take some pictures ( Have a Chinese place to do during the the week. Better than pictures, why not just try it for yourself, and see the results first hand. You will be able to see, feel, and smell the results ( can't do that with me posting a picture ) All I'm saying is that Tide works, maybe other detergents work well too, I don't know, but, for now Tide is my new commercial carpet cleaning chemical. Good-bye all the so called professional carpet cleaning chemicals.
