Tips on Using a Home Or Rental Carpet Cleaning Machine
So these are some tips to help you get the best results with your home or rental carpet cleaning adventure.
First I have to say I understand why some people think quality carpet cleaning is to expensive, people do the addition but never the subtraction.
(I'm not talking about these unethical bait and switch companies the use illegal tactics to get in your home,You know the ones that advertise $5.
00 or $12.
00 per room and never intend on honoring these prices and if you don't fall for the scam you get sub par cleaning which gives our industry a black eye and not to mention is illegal.
Did I already mention that?) I use a $80,000 unit and only give up front pricing my reputation is everything and give a 100% guarantee, it cost a lot of money to run a high quality carpet cleaning business.
Well enough about that lets get to the tips.
First of all the number 1 reason carpet cleaning is not very successful is because of over-wetting.
So before you start up your carpet cleaning machine grab your vacuum and empty the soil (VERY IMPORTANT).
Did you know that 79% of dry particulate soil can be removed with your vacuum.
So vacuum like crazy this will make your wet cleaning so much more successful.
Next don't use so much water just 1 or 2 wet strokes and 3 or 4 dry strokes.
Next problem is quick re-soiling this because carpet and soil is an acid and your cleaner is alkaline.
This why it cleans so well but if you just leave your carpet in this state it will just attract soil back to the carpet.
You must neutralize the carpet.
How? For home cleaners i recommend 4 or 5 drops of white vinegar to a cup of water put it in a spray bottle and mist it over your cleaned areas.
Please do not use to much vinegar because it will stink so just 4 or 5 drops per cup this will bring the water down to the acid level and you carpets wont re-soil so fast.
Next Air-flow.
Use ceiling fans and osculating fans this will cut your dry-time in half.
Open some windows if possible and DO NOT turn up the heat unless you like living in a sauna and your carpet will never dry.
If you ever have any question contact me we are a education based company.
The reason people have to clean their home so much is because most of the retail cleaners are designed to clean very well but not designed to stay clean.
this keeps you using their products and spending your hard earned money when its just not necessary.
