Hi there i actually work for a local council and specialise in deep cleaning of kitchens etc, a new thing to us is carpet cleaning which we did do just with a wand however we now have a larger extraction machine and the chemical we use is Nap Low Foam,however we are coming across problems when we leave the carpet is great but next day its all blochy and brown and really looks like its not been cleaned. I havent been on any courses and i am looking to go on one but in the meantime any ideas what this is? This just seem s to happen in schools when we do houses its ok.Posted by Shaun_Ashmore (Shaun_Ashmore), 11 February 2004
I really think a training course would be a great idea, are you cleaning the carpets or are your staff? the biggest problem with contract cleaners who use untrained staff is this type of problem, over wetting and the incorrect use or selection of chemicals.Very Dirty areas require specialist training and chemicals and then you can get the results your customer craves for.
Please don't take his a 'put down' it is a fool proof way of solving your problems and making your life a lot less stressful.

You will also save on man hours and chemicals so your investment in training would pay for itself and make you more succesful.Shaun

Based on your information, it sounds as though you may be losing seal on your vacuum, perhaps due to either the operator (?), or uneven flooring (?).Also, double check your vacuum (air-flow) and make sure there are no obstructions from the wand-to-the-machine vac filters.
That would be my suggestions, but ofcourse, you will solve this situation quickly..
Good Fortune to all;
