So for the good news, a recent customer wants me to come back and clean monthly, so overall it's a win.
Downside is that I'm not happy with the results. First, the areas around where the floormats normally sit still looked quite dirty... significant contrast between the two.
Second, spent a significant amount of time on spots throughout and while some faded significantly, almost none of them went away. All appeared to be standard drink spills and the like with the exception of one definite permanent marker stain.
Admittedly I wasn't using releasit chemicals, but my process went like this:
- 'Pre-vac" with Brush Encap
- Prespray visible spots
-spray entire carpet and 15 minute dwell
-Spray fiber plus pad
-Lowboy....
-lowboy with microbeast
It was CGD of a light tan color, 3500 sqft, I used 10 gallons of RTU solution mixed at the high ratio for the product (vacaway hot knife extreme), and it took me 4.5 hours.
Any idea where I might have went wrong? Not enough chemical? Wrong chemical? Wrong technique?
