Hi, thanks encapman for your reply. It makes sense to give the chemical enough dwell time something which I really hadn't been doing.
Another 'question' for you.
I just did a house with 3 bedrooms that had cream plush pile wool carpet. As you walked into the rooms they had very greyish to black marks across the carpet. Their were also some stains throughout.
This was what i did:
*I pre vacuumed going over room twice
*Then used different spot and stain removal trying to blot out what I could.
*I went over room with Orbot machine with fibre plus pad, spraying continually one pass - using Releassit DS clean, then back over without spray.
*After completing room like this, put super Zorb pad on and went back and forth over room.
* Raked room with carpet rake.
When I come back to vacant house the next day I noticed the room/s had a greyish colour to them in cream carpet.I post vacuumed all the rooms but still there was that slight grey colour.
I realise now that what i had done,when I had used the super sorb pad I had picked up the dirt where the heavily tracked areas and spread it throughout the carpet.
Next time I come across this sort of heavily soiled carpet should i concentrate on putting minimal spray on heavily soiled tracks and agitate with semi dry pad from other areas then go over with separate super sorb pad? As you may have picked up on I am very much novice at this.
