CGD cleaning question for everyone

[Lounge Lizards]

I see that you've put it in your last sentence................

"When I return I may go hydrox on the darker areas to be sure."

When doing offices, etc; I would always add Hydrox to the tank for those (coffee) spills, it saves a lot of call-backs.

I also ensure that I overlap my runs slightly to avoid any missed areas that may cause "streaking" or darker patches.

I have seen jobs where others have tried to save time and money by lining their machine up with the edge of the last run cleaned, then have a dirty line running down the carpet when it's dried.

Not saying this is what you have done, because I think as both you & Rick have alluded to, it's the way the pile lays as the Cimex rotates in a different direction on each run, no great problem.

One thing I do on plush pile, (not CGD), is after I have cleaned the carpet in the normal long wet run, I do my dry pass in a zig-zag pattern across the carpet, somewhat similar to how one would use a rotary.

This is only in relatively small offices such as travel agents that I do on a monthly basis. Management, staff & customers love the "sculptured" look and it's enabled me to schedule a regular clean more often because it looks so nice.



Hope this makes some sense & helps confirm your theory.




PS::: On really bad carpets, consider using Punch & the FiberPlus Max pads.

This will clean the carpet just that much better than the normal FiberPlus pads.
