In answer to your question, if you CRB the carpet before vaccing, then it losens a bit more of the dry dirt...... However if you have a good vac ie sebo, then it losens the dirt as vaccing anyhow, so mainly a waste of 20 mins if you do....

IMHO for what it is worth sort of thing.... so to speak.....

I recommend raking the vaccing slowly in 2 directions , disregard what you can see , as you will never see all the dust and grit , just vac it thoroughly.

well rycalshaw

was that worth the wait lamfao

stop it now Jason my ribs are aching with laughing

[jasonl]

Well I have seen a few on here "thoroughly vaccing" and ist seems some people have different definitions of the meaning thorough.

Using a 10 year old sebo  with smelly filters and vaccing a room in 10 minutes is not thorough.

[neil 47]

your right but , surely one of the other  5000 cc on here could of told him that , he waited 7 posts for you to say vac well , the lad was waiting for his lm guru to enlighten him into the holy land , and u said vac well.

ill help him   No 1   Vac well   Jason

[jasonl]

Dont overwet??


What formulas do you use for ensuring a carpet of x weight and soiling is not over wet?

[neil 47]

the same as you 

[Doug Holloway]

Hi guys

How about temerature x volume divided by the cube root of the surface tension?

Cheers

[neil 47]

yeah Doug

what about it

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Apart from the dry stage the wet stage (as Doug so eloquently pointed out) should be linear to the soiling but as you are drying the carpet as well as wetting it then it should not be a big problem, I find that bonnet cleaning is easy and easy to sell but you need to get someone to show you first to also add you will need a hwe to rinse out stains and certain products.

God it's good to be back!

Ps Jason shooting was 5 mins walk from where I was staying was only in there 2 days before
