Hi Guys

I'm using heated bonneting all weekend but know that I am not removing as much dirt but on office carpets it often looks better.

Sunday's job is a very dirty commercial where they do not allow HWE from bad experiences but it is because it is so dirty that HWE has failed in the past, with operators getting the carpets too wet.

I will leave it nice and even but not particularly clean

Cheers

Doug

Faced with large areas of commercial floor to clean... HWE just isnt practical or cost effective!
No one is looking for perfection, just clean looking carpets...

Domestic... no there is a different story!

Hi folks done a bit of dry fusion cleaning recently with some good results . So I decided to test it against my jag so I cleaned my lounge on Sunday with df it looked good and smelt good and the pads didn't look that dirty . I cleaned it again on the Wednesday with the jag and got 1and a half buckets of dirty water . I think we have a clear winner 

hiya  -  may  I  ask you if you have tried Shockwave with yr jaguar (http://www.worldofclean.co.uk/shockwave.html)?  does it really  work on heavily soiled carpet ?

Ive got my  jag 6.6   for  two months  now  -  and  really happy  with everything .  However,  sometimes I'm straggling   with really dirty  areas  and  I  thought  to  get  some  shockwave  - but  not sure  how  to prespray it ?  !

Shall I  use  a hand  sprayer or  is it  ok   to mix the  shockwave in my  jaguar  and use the wand  to prespray ?

I'm  a bit worried as  the shockwave is  powder and may not  dilute properly -  so it can damage the pump ?! 

any  advise will be  appreciate

regards  S

Shockwave is a PRESPRAY and should not be used in tank as it has to be rinsed out thoroughly.

I  should book  a  short  course  -   as  quite  confused with all these  chemicals  .

First  the prespray  and  then  cleaning solution ?  plus a  clean  water  rinse ?  quite  a hard  job 

I  used  to  do  it  in a  short  version : )  mostly without  prespray and  and even  without  a rinse : )

lol  live and  learn

If you want to be a splash and dash merchant buy some cheap detergent, chuck it in the tank, slosh it on the carpet , half suck it out, grab your money and run- fast.

If you want to be a proper carpet cleaner, buy the right stuff, learn how to use it, do a proper job and build a customer base.
It is not difficult - I did it.

something like  that  -  However  thats  what  I 've  learned over  the  years from my  ex employer -  who  is  a 'professional' carpet  cleaner  in  NE London .    We  usually did  carpets  for  tenants /  letting  agents .    Everyone  was  happy lol

What do  you  use  to apply the  prespray  -  a hand  sprayer ?   I  thought to  DIY  a simple  tank with  a  Shurflo pump - and  a sprayer  wand. 

My last  question   do  you  always prespray  or  just the really dirty / soiled carpets ?

thx

Strah... if you are serious about carpet cleaning then i would suggest you invest in some training instead of trying to learn the basics on here...
