Encapsulation carpet cleaning and commercial carpet care forum by Excellent-Supply.com & Releasit - MONTHLY PHOTO CONTEST

Two VLM jobs this week

Sat, 02 Mar 2019 04:05:10 +0000

Two jobs we did this week. The first job was a patch of carpet in a warehouse that had not been cleaned in 15 years. We used Punch as a pre-spray and cleaned it with DS2. We used a Trinity Spyder and a microfiber pad.

The 2nd job was a school we had just completed, the day before school opened up again a teacher spilled a coffee, we didn't have time for anything other than the CRB and Hydrox.

January 2019 Photo Contest - Randy Beckner

Fri, 01 Feb 2019 02:20:31 +0000

I am submitting 6 photos for the January 2019 photo contest.

A) Photo 1 shows a red food coloring stain. Bought Red Relief from Excellent Supply, applied Red Relief and used the steam iron and damp towel method. Went back to job later in the day and cleaned the carpet with 4 ozs of DS2 per gallon using my Cimex. Photo 2 show the same area the next day.

B) Photo 3 shows carpet tiles where to much adhesive was applied and it came back to the surface of the carpet. Presprayed 4 ozs of Punch to the adhesive and followed up with 6 ozs of DS2 using my Cimex. Photo 4 shows the results.

C) The last 2 photos are of a upholstered chair, photo 5 is before cleaning, photo 6 is 2 days later after cleaning. I sprayed a mixture of 10 ozs of Punch in 1 gal of water, applied with a battery sprayer. Then scrubbed the upholstery with a short nap horse hair brush. Final step was running 2 ozs of Punch through my extractor.

Thanks for looking! Love the products at Excellent Supply!

Here is pic of a recent restaurant job we did. It hadn't been clean in years. I started with Punch and CRB, mixed DS2 a little hot at 6oz/gal and did 1 wet pass/1 slow dry pass w/ overlap with the Cimex. Customer was very happy!

My name is Chris with QuickDry Pro Carpet Cleaning. I actually called Excellent Supply a few days ago to get some pointers on cleaning this house. The staff is always so helpful and I appreciate the help since I am still so green to this industry. This is the master bedroom and the dark area was a spot under their bed where the dog always laid. I sprayed quite a bit of punch on the area and let it dwell about 10 minutes. I then used my HOS Orbot Sprayborg with Hydrox and a MF Pad. The results were amazing and the customer was very pleased. They ended up overpaying what I quoted them they were so pleased.

Tile and Grout with Cimex and Firm Brushes

Wed, 29 Mar 2017 00:40:14 +0000

Just wanted to show results of Cimex Tile and Grout Job I did this weekend. Tile and grout had not been cleaned for over 10 years. It was dull dirty and looked nasty. Cimex was setup with Firm Brushes purchased at excellent supply. Just goes to show how versatile the Cimex can be at different jobs.
First photo is the before, second is after.

Oil Everywhere

Wed, 30 Nov 2016 23:59:34 +0000

So I had the huge challenge of cleaning an office in a mechanics garage. I told the customer it would look better but could not guarantee results but would look better.

So u used a CRB Punch and DS2 mixed a little stronger than I usually mix it.

I was not expecting to get the oil out completely but when I was finished I was shocked with the results. Even the customer was blown away.

Once again the photos don't do this justice. The darker areas are lighting effects from the windows etc. To the naked eye these carpet tiles came out looking close to like new.

October Winners

Tue, 01 Nov 2016 10:45:31 +0000

Well I'm gonna do something we don't normally do. In fact it is unprecedented. I am going to award 2 winners for October.

Why two winners? For one, the Photo Contest has been dry for the past few months, and there haven't been many submissions. And also because both submissions are equally amazing. Rich took a sample of carpet and destroyed it - and then he used Adsorb Ultra with Encap-Punch to bring it back to life. And Jose made a very impressive jump in appearance.

Beyond Cleanable!

Low moisture cleaning with Cimex!

So for October we have 2 winners!

This is wasn't a real life scenario and if it ever was I now know I can clean this. I copy and pasted this from my other post.

I thought that I would share my Excellent Supply experience with you all. My name is Rich Gallina and my company name is Orbi-Clean. I used Ultra Adsorb and Punch with the 15" BrushEncap CRB and Shark Vac.

Thank you to Dawes Septic and 44/55 Automotive. This is my test rug. I left it in Dawes Septic's office for a week and then right after dropped it off at 44/55 Automotive for about a week and a half. Obviously it was much more then real life soil and grease but I wanted excessive stinky, poopy, greasy and dirty at its worse. The only couple spots left were some burn marks from welding. Yes those can be fixed as well but that will be another post. Spotless, clean, fresh and dry and I picked the worse side!

Looks like we have a winner. The submission by Ades was also excellent, but this one takes the cake. Nice transformation from a filthy carpet to fully clean. Good job with Encap-HydrOx and the Microglide bonnet too.

Thanks for sharing

First Residential

Mon, 28 Mar 2016 02:26:48 +0000

My focus is commercial but I had a special request to do a residential job so thought I'd give it a try with my 175 and the MicroGlide bonnets I bought a while back. I used Hydrox due to so many stains and the light color carpeting. I surprised even myself with the results and the customer was thrilled.

Vario with DS 2

Sat, 05 Mar 2016 15:29:35 +0000

This is a really bad carpet, but traffic area in front of couch and recliner. Just thought i would give DS 2 and the Vario with a micro fiber pad.

Recent Restaurant Job

Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:25:11 +0000

This was from a restaurant job we completed last night. We pre vac'd then used Punch as prespray in traffic lanes and hit it with CRB to agitate. Then followed with a wet pass/dry pass with Cimex and DS2 solution mixed at 6 oz/gal. This is the FIRST true test for me using Releasit products but safe to say I'm a believer!! I had worried about the job to begin with as it was in pretty rough shape, but quickly those fears were put to rest! THANKS for a great product! Phil- Papa Bear Carpet Care

Nov 2015 Photo Entry

Wed, 02 Dec 2015 02:30:27 +0000

Hey Rick, I spoke with Tanoah earlier today. I expressed the problem I had signing on last night to submit my carpet cleaning photos. She suggested that once the sign on problem was resolved that I should send in my photos for consideration for November. I had to create a new user name/password and use another email address to resolve my issue.

So please find attached photos from some church cleaning jobs.

Photo 1 is of a church hallway during the cleaning. I used 4 OZ of DS2 per gallon and cleaned with cimex and fiberplus pads, 1 wet pass and 1 dry pass

Photo 2a is a sunday school class room before cleaning
Photo 2b is the same sunday school classroom after cleaning
I used 4 ozs of DS2 per gallon and cleaned with cimex and fiberplus pads, 1 wet pass and 1 dry pass

Photo 5b is the same church after the cleaning

First Paid Job

Sat, 01 Aug 2015 00:16:36 +0000

I landed my first paying carpet job with two locations of a large fast food franchise. I hope to get more locations and that this will lead to more carpet business.

You can see how dirty the carpet is by where the booth normally sits.

In progress with the Cimex:

I use the Releasit Gum Freeze spray on several areas of gum, which worked fantastically. I used a pre-spray of Punch 12oz/gallon; and cleaned it with DS2 6 oz/gallon.

Talk to the manager today and she said it smelled so fresh and clean this morning. They want me to clean the carpet monthly.

Feedback welcome on any technique issues you see from the photographs! Thanks!

Very dirty bar, before and after

Tue, 28 Jul 2015 02:50:37 +0000

First time post in the monthly contest. My name is Shane Bridges and I'm the owner of Heaven's Best Carpet Cleaning, LLC in Milledgeville, GA.

This is a very dirty bar that we clean quarterly. It has a full-time beer pong area which is the pic you can see with our Cimex in it. Mixed drinks, vomit, who knows what else! We've cleaned it 3 different ways. One with Fiber Plus Max pads, Punch prespray mixed at 12 oz/gallon, 10 minute dwell, then DS2. Second time with all Hydrox using the gray pads, and a third time with the Punch/DS2 combo with brushes. We alternate back and forth because the 2 different chemical combinations attack different stains. Hydrox is great with the drink spills and vomit. Punch/DS2 is great for the general grime tracked in every night. I was very impressed with the brushes.

The pics are taken right after cleaning. The customer does not want to pay for the gum to be removed so that's why you see so much of it. He's always very happy when we are finished.
