Title: Heat on Wool Carpet
Post by: Ben Lugg on November 11, 2009, 09:15:02 pm

Hi Guys

Got a job to clean a light coloured 80/20 mix carpet. 
Medium soiling with some staining. 
The inline heater to my steempro machine is not adjustable.
Do you think it would be okay to use this kind of heat on a 80% wool carpet?
I haven't had the inline heater for very long and only used it on synthetic carpets so far - with great results.
Thanks in advance!

Ben

Hi Ben!

If you are using the right pre-spray and allowing for dwell time, there should be no problem extracting with hot water from a premises. Most household systems now will give you 40-50 degrees and that will be sufficeint.

The machine is an extractor machine and you are dealing with medium soiling!

Regards

Gary
