Hi all,

i am doing 1200 meters of carpet tiles sunday which are heavily stained with coffee. Presprays i have are powerburst, Enzall, traffic clean, fusion8............... i was going to go with enzall ? so

Pre vac

Pre spray with ............

Agitate with rotary and carpet brush

Extract with portable and use acid rinse

i have 2 teams of 2 and 2 sets of all the above equipment, plus one person spare (making prespray, rinse, coffee etc!) i am hoping i will be done in 5 hours

[justin brown]

anyone?!!  : i have never used enzall before but i heard its great on commercial carpets with coffee stains? I normally use powerburst but was thinking of giving enzall a try but wanted your opinions before i decide??

[Phil @ Extreme Clean]

get yaself a rotary or 2 gotta be alot easier and quicker i do a cafe carpet with carpet tiles and using my df apart from a few stains ere n there 95% are gone you must be charging good money or earning little using 2 teams.

[justin brown]

i am using 2 rotary machines with a nylon carpet brush to agitate..............and yes, it will be a nice earner. i dont work on for nowt, esp on sundays
!!

[Phil @ Extreme Clean]

i meant using the rotary to do the cleaning thats all i use and get excellent results no need for an extraction.

  I wouldn't bother with hwe, go with bonneting. Done some offices today, used spm mixed with some oxybrite. All coffee stains removed without using anything else.

Don't hwe tiles here, cimex does it

cheers guys,

i am rubbish at bonnet mopping (tried before and pretty much nothing came out?)!!!After you prespray and agitate do you just go over with a bonnet? I am using high alkaline so need to put an acidic rinse through, how would i do that with a bonnet (dip it in f&F?) Sorry for my ignorance but totally clueless when it comes to bonnets!!

[Jamie Pearson]

If would use Chemspec Rotobrite 2.

2 guys could do that work with 2 rotary machines in that timescale.

How do I know? We did it this morning.

[Phil @ Extreme Clean]

You just use a different chemical that doesn't need rinsing i use Dry Fusion but you need to be licenced with them to get there chemicals but there are plenty others on the market. just give a very good vacuum then prespray then dip your bonnet pad in made up solution wring out and away you go.

[Jamie Pearson]

You dont even need to do the wringing thing with certain systems.

My preference is to put fresh product down with a sprayer or from the solution tank.
Or sprayed from the solution tank by the machine if you have the right model.

If you use a true encapsulation product there is no requirement to absorb the soil.

You just need to agitate.
