What can I do with greasy carpet at entrances to doors leading into kitchen. I did one the other night, the carpet looked great except for these areas. I'm going back Wed. night to extract those two areas. Overall, the owner (who owns four other restaurants) was very pleased and understood those areas would probably not clean up quite as well as the rest of the carpet. Should I have extracted those areas first, then encapped? All suggestions will be appreciated!

My favorite way to address this is to use the Cimex to work in my favorite extraction prespray. The Cimex will really work the prespray in and break it up and then extract it first. then follow up with Cimex and just a little stronger solution of Releasit. this has always worked for me.

Thank you, sir. That's kinda what I was thinking. I appreciate the advice.

yep, what Rick says.
Also if this is a VLM job, dont be afraid to pad extract the oily spots with absorbent cotton pads and a rotary.
then cimex/encap right over it.
It not VLM mandatory, agitate and extract.

Good luck.

We prescrub with the Cimex and appropriate prespray and than extract with truckmount. Would never attempt to VLM this type of cleaning situation, simply from a labor and the results expected. Prescrub and HWE only for best results.

WE clean several restaurants on a monthly schedule.
we mostly clean restaurants and daycares.

we always scrub in the prespray using a rotary with a brush or a pad, some times I use a Mist and Brush. WE follow up by using the Steamin Demon to extract.
Any areas that are suspect will be followed up by post padding.

so far only one call back by using this method

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. The areas away from the greasy spots encapped real nice. I am going back tonite to extract the areas by the 2 entrances (or is that exits?) to (or from) the kitchen! Thanks again.
