I hope he doesn't do domestics like this as well :o
-
hmmm slightly too wet then.... ;D
-
The telephone ringing was the Police - the carpet cleaning was criminal. ;D
That carpet looked as if it could be a Belgian Wilton??????
-
He’s got to be a trucky the noises is unbearable ::)
-
It's a dramatic video though for the ignorant customer.
Not that anyone other than bitching carpet cleaners watch Ytube videos of carpets being cleaned anyway. ;D

;D ;D
-
the heat he had at that flow he had a big truckmount.
did a good job of cleaning that carpet though!! ;) ;)
-
Click on other videos, shows a stool being Erm, cleaned :-X
-
Dave, I seen that too, it's the same flooding method, ;D
-
He probably thinks a dry stroke is masturbation without lubrication.

:o :o :o

if you watch the stool video you will see a very interesting point at 42 seconds.
he does a clean stroke without pulling the trigger and makes it as clean as when he does a wet stroke, this stool isn't as dirty as it looks, it look dark & dirty because it is already soaking wet.
but if you want to criticise this guy then put your own videos on YouTube...... at least he's stepped into the ring ;)
-
I've had vides on you tube for a few years, for what good its done, Don't mind stepping into the ring and I have done.
We all get flooding sometimes, but we then stop pulling the trigger and suck it up, leaving huge puddles there for 5 minutes it's clearly going to soak the backing and most likely the underlay too and would take days to dry and start to smell.
-
and you can criticise his video because like you say you put up your own videos,
but it can be a bit easy for some people to pull a guys viddeos apart when he is not here to defend himself,
-
Amazed your defending this sort of cleaning Mike.
Reading the above post looks like most are with me, that this is bad practice.
"pulling it apart" ::)
-
I wonder if he has a water claw :)
but if you want to criticise this guy then put your own videos on YouTube...... at least he's stepped into the ring ;)

Did you change your voice too? :P lol, it's actually not a bad video to be fair!
-
Fantastic bit of marketing and EVERYONE with a truckmount should have a video similar to this to show their customers.
Customer doesn't know that is bad cleaning, the person that believes this video is also the person that believes the QVC Steam Cleaner and Rug Doctor hype that is put out there.
Seriously, have a think, this is actually doing professional carpet cleaners a massive favour.
Did you see the power of that steam and the colour of that water? I want him around my house NOW.
-
To be fair some very heavily worn and very soiled carpets can react like that which is no different to the effect even a moderate pressure would have on a hard floor because is what the carpet has become, an impervious surface. The same effect happens on black top but, lessens as you break through the surface soil and remove the compacted soil from what remains of the carpet.
A brave video in my view.

Spot on Simon.
-
I thought the same as well, at first - but then he doesn't seem to go over it with a dry stroke at all, just leaves the water sitting there (although I watched on my phone so I may be wrong).
-
pretty simple really, if he gets calls from it then its a good video, if he doesn't its rubbish. either way i'm confident it wasn't meant to impress us b1tchy old f4rts. ;D
-
Well, after seeing the first few posts i was going to comment HOWEVER.....Simon beat me to what i was going to say.
-
It's clearly soaking in though.
-
blimey, that's twice in one year that I find myself agreeing with Simon :o
-
before I started prespraying and aggitating, on filthy pub carpets I would lift the wand from the floor and jet the area prior to cleaning to allow the tank chems and heat to do some of the work. On black top the carpet will not absorb the moisture. Have only watched first few seconds but as Simon says spraying filthy carpet like that is just like spraying a hard floor. The end result is the important thing. Would also like owen r 's ability to identify fibres from a substandard video as after 20 odd years in the flooring business, buying fitting, specifying and cleaning carpets, I still cannot identify wool from polypropylene on film.

If you play 'Simon Says' 50% of the time, a lot on here can learn quite a bit.
The other 50% ?? - well whatever ;) ;)
