Got a job in a couple of weeks for an entrance reception at a large clients offices.
Carpet is really soiled and is contract L/P tiles. i usually machine scrub this type of carpet with a fine (white) pad and then extract for maximum results.
Anyone use a better idea, got 5 commercials on the same weekend so trying to make the best of available time without compromising on standards.
Cheers

loop pile tiles as you know can be hard work ??? but imo the best way to tackle the job is to hwe, then go over with a roary,just even it all out, but with out seeing the carpet in question,this is a stab in the dark,as they say :)

Hi Scott
Presuming you don't possess Dry Fusion, Texatherm or Super Pad Charly.
Pre vac to the highest standard possible with a good (preferably two motor eg Sebo BS36) upright vacuum cleaner. Pre-spray with your prefered micro splitting solution. Agitate the trafficed/ soiled areas with your white pad and plain water rinse with your hwe. For the lighter soiled areas just bonnet pad with your cotton bonnets. This should halve your time on the wand but still maintain your standards.
If you use conventional detergents you'll need 2 sprayers with different chemicals as required, plus a detergent or acidic rinse in your hwe.
With the different processes all happening at the same time, you should be able to work effectively in a two or preferably 3 man team ie 1 on pre vac and machine fill, 1 trained technician on the wand, and one on pre-spray and rotary scrub/bonnet.
Safe and happy cleaning :)
