Yesterday I gave it a try. It worked well. I also tried not doing it on some other spots doing the normal pretreat. On those areas I was padding with cotton pads. Those spots came back which brings me to my question.

Is it recommended to do the dry scrub techique right off the bat, or do you come back for the ones that come back. There is a time factor here.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Good question. although i have no input with regard to the actual question, I have "missed the mark" so to speak when dealing with spots...often.

I have given this area much thought...so I am anxious to see the replies.

Until then, I have begun to try and "see" if a spot will wick...you know, someway try to know by any and all tell-tell marks or colors.

so far, I suck. BUT I have gotten this: If the "spot" has a "color" that says beer or coke or coffee...or hot dip...then i go ahead and do the Rick shuffle (yes, I actually do a little jig dance)....I am obviously doing to do some spots that won't wick anyway....but my final results are shooting sky high.

I do it right off the get go. No need to come back over it again.
It took some practice but you have to use the dry scrub with the juice that's on the pads already. Don't add more juice. So far works every time.

I agree with Joe, I use minimal on the pad, if it does come back, extremely rare I use 50/50 mix and lightly mist and hit with dry pad.

I usually tackle them right off as part of my prep work. I would then come back over them with some strong concentrated encapp juice with the normal cleaning for any remaining soil that i may have left.


I will be doing a resident this week with some expensive carpet. Its the kind that causes the cimex to glide over the top of the tufts. The carpet is level loop but is about 3/4 inches long (knapp) Last time i did it, I did it with the cimex and it kinda seemed like it was only addressing the surface of the knapp. Any suggestions? I was wondering if any experienced this kind of carpet with the OP and which will you use prefferably Mex or OP?




Thanks

A sign of the times!

If its Frieze carpet or also refrred to around here as California Shag looks similar to 1970'2 carpet be careful if you OP cotton pads I think are to aggressive and less expensive carpet may bloom. I only use microfibr pads when doing them. Most of the time I HWE in fact did a condo yesterday white and HWE it

Large loops? Berber? I did one with the iCapsol. Matted and dirty. Looked ok after scrubbing. Told the customer vacuum next day and be prepared to be amazed. Called the next day. customer said it looked like it had a shot of Viagra. Erect and clean.
