hi guys
have hot water extraction machine walk behind with brusher bar.

would this be wise to use on flotex carpet ?

im concerned of over wetting ? and also the pile lifting right afterwards?

havent looked at yet but know from pass threads this isnt necessarily an easy clean.

any help out there?

i asked this question before i used my df on a flotex carpet and done ok allthough people say flooding them is the best option

I was told flood and scrub and extract and I did and it
worked.

Don't worry about over wetting a flotex

hi you did this with a walk behind portable extractor - and how did you lift pile after?

[Tony Gill Carpet Smart]

You don't set pile on flotex

Hi Guys

All the nylon fibres in Flotex are perpendicular to the base, that is they stick straight uo.

This gives a massive resistance and any pad system is likely to struggle and it won't do the motor much good.

As for a walk behind it will depend on the resistance, but could be an issue.

Cheers
