Local carpet shop I've previously done work for has recommended me to a customer who has alot of coir carpet that needs cleaning. Not wanting to disappoint I've said I will visit and see what kind of results I can get.
Never tried cleaning before but from what I can find on here, recommened way to clean seems to be

1. Vacuum throughly
2. Light Presray
3. Agitate & dwell
4. Dry cleaning compound
5. Agitate & dwell
6. Vacuum throughly

This sound about right???
Anyone got anymore tips??? Apart from walk away
What presray would you recommend.....Gold???

Thanks
Paul

Hi

Dry Compound on a coir carpet is a nightmare, it get stuck inbetween the fibres and won't come out. Also you get so much loose hair from them it clogs up your vac

I would say 'No thank you'.

Hi Guys

I have just had an enquiry for a flat in Fulham, same problem, two CC's have already walked.

I told him chances of getting anyone to clean it are small.

I blame that House Doctor woman on channel 5 for all this type of stuff.

The idea was that it was cheap and make your house look good to sell, not a good long term option.

Of course now it's become popular and it's not that cheap.

Jet wash?

cut it into small enough pieces , this will enable easy placement into washing machine.

Pre spray with coconut milk 14min dwell time then I’m with Pete but not in situ.

Getting a strong message here - Avoid like the plague

Surely there is a good method to clean these???
See other company websites claiming their dry clean method has effective results. 
What do they use???

It really depends on customers expectations,it's ok claiming effective results actually achieving them is a different matter.

Hi Guys

As below most walk as visually they usually look no better. They dont like water. I have had not bad results with
bonnets and low moisture using m/s, just clarify with customer what to expect with the end result.

I have tried charly pads.....not a good result

Spencer you need to use cotton bonnets as they absorb quicker

A few years ago I used high foaming shampoo with a very soft shampoo brush (worn) mixed shampoo and put in tank and rotary cleaned, it made a good difference but had to be very careful with the water.

Once cleaned one for someone who was desperate. Signed a disclaimer saying it would shrink, but he was happy as would be replacing
Kids had had a party. wet cleaned a treat, came up beautifully, and only shrunk 5 inches all around the room. But he was a satisfied customer as he knew what to expect.
