Hi folks done a bit of dry fusion cleaning recently with some good results . So I decided to test it against my jag so I cleaned my lounge on Sunday with df it looked good and smelt good and the pads didn't look that dirty . I cleaned it again on the Wednesday with the jag and got 1and a half buckets of dirty water . I think we have a clear winner :)
-
thats always going to be the case with hwe v padding
-
Now go back on sunday and do again with the jag bet the waters still dirty :)
-
Not a fair comparison in my eyes...
-
The difference being DF rearranges the dirt and HWE removes it 8)

You got far too much time on your hands ;D

I'm not gonna bite tonight Simon .... sorry :P
;D

Len you are correct and Simon you are also correct. And yes it is a fair the challenge was to see what would leave my lounge cleaner and you can't argue with the facts . If I was to clean it again this Sunday with jag and get more dirt out would it not show that the df was even further away from the required result. Del ;)

No it will show you water will go dirty flushed through a carpet and your machine no matter how many times you clean it ;D
-
I find DF great for putting right office tiles that have be badly cleaned with HWE ;D
For the record, I use both - probably HWE more than DF. It just depends on the type of job
It's horses for courses (but you knew that already).

That's based on experience, is it, Phil? ;D
-
Why not put both systems together with your clean and get the very best results?

Shaun that's what Chemdry used to do hwe followed by a rotary to dry it off.

No Simon but water passing through a carpet being sucked back up through the wand ,hose and machine will never look clean and whe flushing chems out.
Get a bath wash your hair then unplug and get out then do the same again straight after water will look dirty ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
No it won't ;D
-
ok a bowl of water ;D
-
In the showers the boys always ask Simon to pick up the soap ;D

if you tell customers that, they'll not bother getting thier carpets cleaned and put down that plastic wood flooring instead :P
-
Not surprised by results, but do the same on low profile carpet tiles and your far more likely to have to return if you HWE it.

At a commercial where there are 3 floors, I brought Jaguar 6.6 down from boardroom floor to see if I could rinse a stubborn stain from carpet tiles ...... it hardly made a difference and practically ripped tile off adhesive ..... even with the glide on it :o
Each carpet has it's own best way of being cleaned ;)

Hi Guys
I'm using heated bonneting all weekend but know that I am not removing as much dirt but on office carpets it often looks better.
Sunday's job is a very dirty commercial where they do not allow HWE from bad experiences but it is because it is so dirty that HWE has failed in the past, with operators getting the carpets too wet.
I will leave it nice and even but not particularly clean ;)
Cheers
Doug

Faced with large areas of commercial floor to clean... HWE just isnt practical or cost effective!
No one is looking for perfection, just clean looking carpets...
Domestic... no there is a different story!

hiya - may I ask you if you have tried Shockwave with yr jaguar (http://www.worldofclean.co.uk/shockwave.html)? does it really work on heavily soiled carpet ?
Ive got my jag 6.6 for two months now - and really happy with everything . However, sometimes I'm straggling with really dirty areas and I thought to get some shockwave - but not sure how to prespray it ? !
Shall I use a hand sprayer or is it ok to mix the shockwave in my jaguar and use the wand to prespray ?
I'm a bit worried as the shockwave is powder and may not dilute properly - so it can damage the pump ?!
any advise will be appreciate
regards S

Shockwave is a PRESPRAY and should not be used in tank as it has to be rinsed out thoroughly.

I should book a short course - as quite confused with all these chemicals .
First the prespray and then cleaning solution ? plus a clean water rinse ? quite a hard job
I used to do it in a short version : ) mostly without prespray and and even without a rinse : )
lol live and learn

Plain water and Acid or 1 or the other ???
-
both . acidic rinse in the water .

If you want to be a splash and dash merchant buy some cheap detergent, chuck it in the tank, slosh it on the carpet , half suck it out, grab your money and run- fast.
If you want to be a proper carpet cleaner, buy the right stuff, learn how to use it, do a proper job and build a customer base.
It is not difficult - I did it.

Trevor please can you stop telling everyone trade secrets !

something like that - However thats what I 've learned over the years from my ex employer - who is a 'professional' carpet cleaner in NE London . We usually did carpets for tenants / letting agents . Everyone was happy lol
What do you use to apply the prespray - a hand sprayer ? I thought to DIY a simple tank with a Shurflo pump - and a sprayer wand.
My last question do you always prespray or just the really dirty / soiled carpets ?
thx

Strah... if you are serious about carpet cleaning then i would suggest you invest in some training instead of trying to learn the basics on here...
