Title: Scrubba on carpet tiles!!
Post by: maxcarpets on October 27, 2006, 08:41:48 pm

Hi All,

Heard a story today of a guy using an Extracta scrubba on carpet tiles( not sure of the backing ), it warped all the tiles and he ended up with a floating floor!. I've used one myself on carpet tiles this has never happened to me. Anyone no why?

when i had one it was the weapon of choice of hugea tiles, never had a problem even if they were not stuck down.

It probably just means the tiles weren't glued down and the backing swelled during cleaning - they should go back down within 24 hours.

Truckmount and as hot as i want  .its because of the black marks every where but it could be just drinks that have being spilt and its the sugar from that Is to much heat going to make the tiles come unstuck and turn up at the edges
