Anyone here dry clean (host, dry fusion, texatherm) residential carpets on a regular basis.  How do you deal with spots and stains?

Ive two cleaners near me who advertise 30mins dry time or no dry time and I often wonder do they actually use these systems all the time or when they arrive they tell the customer they need hwe because of...........................

Just wondering.

It is all I do , any stain that will not remove immediately will normally come out wiith OJ  if oil based or sod met.

[wynne jones]

Lots of guys are doing this because...

They have little outlay, they can charge low prices, they have little experience, but they know they are more likely to fck up with lots of water and most people don't know a good end result when they see it.

mark..cleaning a customers house before xmas(window cleaning)
carpet cleaner turns up and started cleaning house ..he was telling customers to keep windows open and it would 2-3 hours to dry or maybe abit longer depending on other factors..customer say your advertising says dry in 30 minutes..carpet cleaner says we cant use that machine on your carpets...and thats other side of b-fast ....still got that ninja    with no exhaust

I find applying lots of pre-spray to the stain then bonneting it deep into the carpet pile works just as well as actually removing it.

or if i can be bothered I get the spotting machine out of the van and extract it out

Dry cleaning sells itself, dry in 30 mins, no shrinkage etc etc not sure about no or little training, I think to get the best results you need to know how to use it to the best of its ability there is a knack to it.

Mike those cotton bonnet we had were the best marketing tool ever for LM and IMO it did extract the soil out, not sure about stain work though.
