i have taken on the job of cleaning a very very dirty carpet. at first it looks as if the carpet has worn through, but it is black and caked in beer suger and malt. I have an ambasador and gotcha machines. i have tries extractsheild but it is still not removing the stains, any suggestions.

Not sure what your machine is, but the job seems like it needs Truck Mount power, most pubs do!
Portables and Pubs dont go together.
Cue abuse. :(

Now that would be a exselent demo for your Rug buster John.
With all the heat that guy kicks out it will make light work of the job!

ive seen abassador's and gotcha's and impo sorry but I dont think there man enough for the job, most pub's are fitted with good wool carpets and are likely too shrink with too much use of machines like these,
But the trick is here a good enzyme prespray and grease breaker booster, sparay agitate leave dwell and HWextract
But would have to agree word for word with Phil ;D ;D ;)

Hi
I cleaned a pub carpet with fine line with black top and a portable the custie was very happy with the result. I will say it would have been quicker with a truck mount

We used to clean dozens of carpets for Newcastle Breweries. They only had them cleaned when the environmental health officer told them to.
This was usually because of the black build up near the bar hatch. This is beer and dirt and can be removed, just takes a little effort. Enzyme pre-spray, do the less dirty parts of the carpet, return to the black parts, may need to do this a few times. You sometimes need to mix the pre-spray with really hot water to break the deposits down. These were all done with portables and airmovers to dry off. Truck mount would have done them in half the time.

The sort of money pub landlords want to pay would only warrant a henry or rug doctor! (IMO of course)

I had a regular Pub customer who pays £150.00 takes me 2 hours, now past on to Mr Dave Lee.

Good for you John. I wish the pub landlords around here were happy to pay such a fee.
