Title: Dynamall or Revive It confidence
Post by: Graham Airey on June 17, 2014, 07:59:17 pm: Got a real dirty Belgian Wilton to clean in a Pub soon, i have always used Solutions Fusion Clean for low moisture in the past which is great on not so heavily soiled carpets but falls short on the the more heavily soiled ones, so i was thinking of using something different.

I'm looking for different opinions on the above products, also would Fusion Clean mixed with some Chemspec heavy duty soil lifter be a good approach ???

the trouble is leaving it dwell in the carprt, if its left to penetrate the backing you will get shrinkage

Post by: Robin Ray on June 18, 2014, 10:54:21 pm: I have never had any problems with shrinkage but thinking about belgium wiltons reminds me of training at ashbys some time back, Derek Ashby said that wiltons are unlikely to shrink as the pile is so tightly packed in the backing, its axminsters which can be a problem. Any form of cleaning though that over wets to that degree though surely cant be right..

Post by: oliver collins on June 19, 2014, 07:36:02 am: The water doesn't get absorbed by the fibre ie unlike wool.
In a man made Wilton the solution runs down the fibers reaching the cotton backing that's what makes it srink !

Post by: Robin Ray on June 21, 2014, 05:06:58 pm: Its not necessarily what I think.

Thats what he said, if you know him well..

Ask him..

Any case i have no axe to grind, over wetting any carpet isnt a good idea.
