Title: Hard to clean carpet
Post by: the red carpet on October 17, 2006, 08:50:21 pm: Iv just finished work at 8pm >:(
Iv been working away at this carpet for hours and it just wont come clean, in the end i said i would have to stop as its to late and come back in a couple days to finish.

Its was a state to start with and it is better but it needs something else the traffic areas and stairs are still really grubby and theres a few marks left.

So im looking for a good pre-spray to attack it with next time, something with some real power, so what do you recomend???

Its a nylon or polypropelene carpet. I was thinking of trying "Craftex Champion"

I know that its not just wear and that the dirt will come out, because were iv spoted some paint and make-up using (pog) it has left bright clean patches everywere.

Heavy concentration of Bliz with hot water,prespray agitated with a heavy machine like an envirodri, you will see a massive difference before you even extract.

Prochem Ultrapac Renovate.

Very good on Carbon deposits , well worth keeping on your van.

I reckon I use 5 l every 3 years so hardly expensive.

Cheers

Doug

Post by: the red carpet on October 19, 2006, 08:57:19 pm: Ended up using Chemspec enz-all with ultimate master as a rinse, and it came up a treat :D

Anyone know if i can use the enz-all on wool as well without problems? and is the ultimate master a suitable rinse or should i have just used water?
