Steady on there Jim,you and Simon are gonna have a right fall
Out if ya ain`t careful. ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
This `thread`takes me back longer than I care to remember when
At one of the NCCA training courses,Haig Abajian gave a `demo`
On how to clean carpets and rugs.
He simply laid the rug out on solid floor,put a cold water hose pipe
Under it,turned on the water and with a floor squeegee kept squeegee
Ing until the water ran clean……..Simples……… :o
That’s the only way ya can clean. :-\
Things must have moved on a `tad`since those days. ;D ;D ;D

Jim,
Just questioning the need for 3,000 psi, that's all, no need to get on your high horse. ;D

Jim,

I and a few lads have just returned from a friends rug plant in Northern Ireland, we pit washed plenty of rugs and your right his centrifuge made it so easy from soaking out the pit to touch dry in 4 minutes.

He also used his power washer on a flat weave.

No idea, mate, a pretty penny I'll bet, but gets the job done.

Ten and half grand if i remember correctly. Silly money for a spinny thing!! Good investment if you do a large amount of rugs regular.

Well since my original post was highly debated (wasn't ment to be) i'll throw in another... Does it really matter if you dont get every grain of dirt/soil out of the rug?  :-\ I mean the customer is non the wiser what process you've put the rug through. There is going to be no visable difference what so ever.

I find a thorough hwe clean is more than adequate on most rug cleaning issues. I only saturate when there's pet urine issues.

Making the likes of a rug badger and certrifuge's very expenive peices of kit that you could probably do with out?
