Post by: cleanimperial on March 04, 2007, 04:22:45 pm

I have a rug to clean on Tuesday the customer is not sure how much wool is in it we are a bit worried how to go about cleaning.It
has a 20 year gurantee so sounds expensive
we have a 400 psi ninja with in line heater should we turn the heater down any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Guys,

I tend to clean rugs with a 6 inch hand tool, this gives me more control .

If you are not sure always wet a little inconspicuous part and see how it absorbs the water.

Cheers

Doug

As when cleaning any rugs,try and get as much of the dry soil out first. This makes the wet cleaning much easier and effective. You can do this by using a vacuum cleaner with a beater bar on both the front and back of the rug. Put it on a sheet of polythene. You can even wack it on the back with a stick. You'll be amazed at how much dirt you will get out.

After this just clean it using a specific Wool detergent after doing any colour run tests first and you should have no problems.

Hi Alan

I have a 400 psi v2 ninja with standard hand tool from ashbys . Normally I use ashbys prespray which is ph 7. I think I will phone the customer tomorrow and ask if we can take it away to be cleaned. What do you think? 


Thanks every one for there help
