PREPARING THE CARPET FOR EXTRACTION
Pre-Vacuum the Carpet
Whether you instruct the customer to pre-vacuum or you offer it as part of your service,
proper vacuuming will make your job easier with superior end results. The more time
spent removing loose particulate soil, the easier it will be to remove the oily soil stuck to
the fibers.
Pretreat the Carpet
This process of applying traffic lane type chemicals to the carpet (whether by sprayer or
rotary scrubber) is essential prior to extraction with your truckmount.
By applying cleaning agents to the carpet and letting them dwell 10-20 minutes prior to
rinsing, you allow the product to dissolve and emulsify the oily, sticky binders holding the
soil to the fiber. This will allow more soil to be removed in one or two cleaning passes and
help prevent overwetting.
Remember the solution coming out of your cleaning tool is only in contact with the carpet
fiber for a few seconds. Relying on the rinse detergent to do the majority of the cleaning
will result in overly long dry times and excess detergent residue left in the carpet.
HydraMaster recommends the use of our pre-sprays:
Fastbreak™
for residential carpet
and
Blitz™
for commercial carpet needs.
RINSE AND RECOVER
Whether you are using a wand or a rotary extraction tool, you should clean an area
approximately 3 ft. x 3 ft. with the solution valve open then immediately go over that area
with vacuum only to remove any excess moisture.
Olefin fiber is becoming more popular, particularly in commercial installations. The
process mentioned above can leave excessive residual moisture because olefin
fibers will not absorb any of the cleaning solution. You must only apply solution
during the backward stroke of the wand so it can be immediately captured by the
vacuum head. RX20 users should follow each pass with a dry pass. Failure to
follow this procedure will cause solution to flow to the back of the carpet along
with some of the soil. This, along with any soil imbedded in the backing, will be
wicked to the surface of the fibers as the carpet dries.
HydraMaster recommends the following rinse aids: Alkaline -
Hydra-Dri Powder™
or
Hydra-CleanLiquid™.
Acid -
Clear Water Rinse™.
