Carpet Cleaners For Hire.

Carpet Cleaners For Hire.

Where Ever You Find Carpet Cleaners For Hire, Always Think  DISCOUNTS!

 

This tactic is very available to everyone. Unfortunately though, few people are aware of it. To explain it more for you in detail, I’ll give you an example.

Many years ago in my business, I used a machine hire company who had carpet cleaner machines for hire. I was just getting started with my carpet cleaning service. I had only a carpet soil extraction machine at the time. Many of my customers wanted me to do carpet maintenance. But I did not have a carpet buffing machine, hence, I used a machine hire shop.

Now the main element in this example is this; I got 30% discount on the price of the carpet cleaner machine hire. You think about that, 30% discount! At the time, I think the carpet cleaning machine hire was priced at £24 per day. £80 per week and about £130 per month.

Now, I used the carpet buffer machine a lot. In fact I was hiring almost every week, sometimes even for a whole month. The good news in this example is the savings I accounted. Lets say for this example I hired the carpet buffer machine every quarter, total price without discounts £400  every 3 months. But now, take a look at my carpet cleaning machine discount savings, – it was £120!

Simply Ask For Your Carpet Cleaning Machine Hire Discounts.

All you need to do to get up to 30% discount yourself, is ask! You see, these machine hire shops want your business. They don’t want you going off some place else for cheaper carpet cleaning machine hire, they want you to hire a carpet cleaning machine from them and regularly too.

How you can do it, is like this.

You frequent the machine hire shop at least two or three times to hire a carpet cleaner machine. But do make absolutely certain that the cleaning machine you hire is right for you. If the hire shop has a variety of carpet cleaning machines available to you, that’s even better.

After you’ve hired a machine a couple of times, next time you frequent the hire shop, just simply ask for a discount. They may ask ‘are you a tradesman?’ Be honest. Tell them if you are and if your not, tell them. Of course it does make things easier if you are a tradesman, but don’t worry about it. You may well not be a tradesman, but you are serious about hiring a carpet cleaner machine regularly. Tell them that you are serious. Tell them you’ll hire a carpet machine from them a couple of times a year at least.

 

Get Acquainted With Staff, Be Friendly With Friendly Staff, Particularly The Shop Manager

 

Don’t rush into this idea too quickly. Make certain that they are getting to know you at the hire shop first. If after you’ve asked for your discount, they have flatly refused you, consider moving on. The reason I say this is because 30% discount on a carpet cleaner machine hire is very useful. If you use the same hire shop for 10 years 2 times per year, that’s a hefty amount of money.

Give this idea a go. You’ve got nothing to loose and a substantial amount of money to gain. Simply, ask for it.

Is Cleaning A Carpet Difficult?

Is Carpet Cleaning Difficult?

The Answer To The Question Above Is YES, Carpet Cleaning Can Be Difficult.

 

I’m not saying that you should never do your own carpet cleaning. I am saying that carpet cleaning only becomes difficult if you don’t know how to clean a carpet.

It’s not enough to just hire a carpet cleaning machine and get stuck in. That will leave you with a poor carpet cleaning result, a bad back, and a wet for days carpet, not to mention a rapid re-spoiling problem. Another angle on the difficulty in cleaning your own carpets is time.

If you hire a carpet cleaning machine for the day, If you don’t know how to clean a carpet and you want to clean 4 rooms or more, you’ll rush cleaning. When you rush cleaning a carpet, it’s very likely that you’ll end up with a mess on your hands.

 

Allocate At Least 3 Hours When Your Doing One Room Of Carpet Cleaning, It Won’t Be Too Difficult To Clean A Carpet Then.

You must never clean your carpets without assessing how much time you’ve got. If the kids are home from school at 3.00pm and your just getting started cleaning your carpets at 11.00am, you’ll be carpet cleaning when the kids want their tea.

So that I’m not laboriously trying to tell you about how difficult it is to clean your carpets yourself, here’s the good news.

Start off by just carpet cleaning one and only one room. If you want to do more rooms, you can. But focus on the day to simply just carpet clean one room, your lounge, dining room, or a bedroom maybe. Allow at least three hours for carpet cleaning from start to finish to get that one room carpet cleaned. Do it that way and carpet cleaning won’t be too difficult.

 

I Promise, Carpet Cleaning Is Not Difficult If You Don’t Rush. Take Your Time, Especially While Your Learning.

 

I’m suggesting you carpet clean only one room, because this will build your confidence. After you get to know what’s involved in carpet cleaning a room, you can then consider doing more rooms. But do get into the carpet cleaning know first. You can learn by cleaning a single solitary room first.

Now, suddenly, we have time! Because time is of the essence when we are just learning. You may have done your own carpet cleaning several times before. That’s fine if you have. My guess is though, you’ve never used the DIY methods I’m showing to you on this blog. This is probably a brand new method for you to learn.

Faithfully follow the carpet cleaning techniques. Use the tools and the suggested solutions, then you’ll see a great result. This is not a race and should never be thought of in that way. Time is so important when your learning. By concentrating on carpet cleaning just one room, the chances of your kids getting their tea on time is a reality.

Remember, one room only and increase your confidence first, see your carpet cleaning results.

Next time your carpets need cleaning, clean a couple of rooms, it’s not too difficult. Always remember that you must allow time for this cleaning work. As you improve and you over come the carpet cleaning difficulties by getting familiar with how this method works, then, do more of your rooms.

DIY Carpet Cleaning Costs

 

DIY Carpet Cleaning Costs.

The Real Cost Of Keeping Carpets Ship Shape Clean

 

If you decide that you’d like to try my methods for cleaning your carpets, that’s great. But what about the carpet cleaning cost’s involved? Isn’t it expensive using professional solutions and tools? And what products exactly would be needed?

If you are hell bent on using the methods for carpet cleaning which I have outlined, you’ll save £££!

Here’s why,,,

Once you have the few low cost tools and solutions, your carpet cleaning costs are almost complete. You can pick up the essentials tools and solutions in your town for probably under £70. From then on, you need only hire a carpet cleaning machine which again you get for less than £30 for 24 hours.

Ideal DIY carpet cleaner
A great little machine for carpet cleaning.

Or, have you thought about buying a machine new or used? E bay is a great place to start looking for a good carpet cleaner machine. You don’t want anything super special, just something simple and cheap will clean your carpets.

I have a service which I offer to my subscribers, its called equipment scout. I just help get subscribers the tools and solutions and a machine. Sometimes I offer it FREE and other times I make a small charge. Go here if you are interested in my “equipment scout“service.

So let’s say for instance that you are sure you want clean carpets 24/7. You have 3 rooms that you want to do every 6-8 months. Therefore, your initial costs for carpet cleaning tools and solutions is approximately £70. The tools and solutions will last you almost for a decade. Your only ongoing outlay is for the machine. You work it out. £30 machine hire costs or less, 4 times over 3 years that’s just £120 for 3 rooms cleaned every 8 months over 3 years. Works out at £40 per year, that’s just £13.30 per room per year. Cheaper than carpet re-placements, I’m sure you would agree.

Professional Carpet Cleaning Costs Can Hit The Roof.

My normal charges for this outlined type of carpet cleaning work was £76 for one room cleaned. £81 for 2 rooms and £117 for 3 rooms. You try getting a professional carpet cleaner in to do 3 rooms for under £100. You could find one, but I’m not sure what the quality of work would be like.

So why not do it yourself. As you can see from these figures, you’ll save a bundle and your carpets will always look good and clean too. At just £13 per room per year, over 5 years cleaning, your carpet cleaning cost’s is just £66.5 per room. But without cleaning, you’ll probably be thinking about replacing your carpets within a few years. It makes good sense to clean and it makes good sense to clean them yourself.

Rug doctor machine
Rug doctor

You may like to use the Rug Doctor machine.

For just £22.00 plus your carpet cleaning chemicals, you can hire the rug doctor for 24 hours. Personally I prefer to carpet clean using a wand tool. But my preferred method isn’t right for everyone.

Lots of people have used the rug doctor and many seem to give it praise. I have not used this machine myself. But that doesn’t mean you must never use it.

You can get the rug doctor machines almost every where now. Or at least in every supermarket. Don’t be afraid to give it a go. But if it doesn’t measure up, then please do revert back to my teachings. I personally like to encourage people to use the wand type carpet cleaning with pre-spray and brush agitation.

 

The carpet cleaning methods which I have described on this site for you are top notch. You’ll always get a great and lasting result.

level of appearanceLastly, you’ll want to keep your carpets, they’ll be too good to replace. Remember, carpet cleaning costs is just £13 per room per year. In 5 years, cleaning every 6-8 months you’ll have great looking carpets that will last for many more years to come.

 

That’s mathematically it from me for now,

Take care and clean well.

 

 

 

Vacuum Clean Carpet

 Best Way To Vacuum Clean Your Carpets.

Here’s How You Pick Up More Than Double The Soils From Your Carpet Vacuum Cleaning.

 

I would like to show you here how to vacuum clean your carpets. But the problem is that your unlikely to use this method, but it is the best. Here’s how to improve your vacuum cleaning.

First thing we do is, we put the vacuum cleaner aside for a minute. Place your hand flat onto your carpet surface, then stroke your carpet across in all four directions, left to right, right to left, up and down. You’ll feel which way your carpet pile flows. There is a rough way when your stroke your carpet and there’s a smooth way.

What we are looking for is the rough way. We want to know which way your carpet pile flows. Remember, it’s the rough way we are looking for. Once you’ve found which way your carpet pile flows, then turn to your vacuum cleaner.

Check Out Here, How Your Vacuum Cleaner Works

 

On the underside of your machine there is a brush that rotates. The brush spins forward. Having this in mind, we think of the flow of your carpet pile. Remember the rough way. We want the brush on the underside of the vacuum cleaner to raise your carpet pile. So, if we vacuum clean WITH the flow of your carpet pile, then in all respects, we are flattening the pile down with the rotating brush. Soils get buried doing it this way and they become difficult to vacuum out.

On the other hand, if we work with your vacuum cleaner against the flow of the carpet pile, then we are raising the pile with the turning brush. Now the soils in your carpet can easily be vacuum cleaned out. We are in effect raising the carpet pile for the vacuum to follow and thus vacuum cleaning the soils from the raised pile. Can you see how this works?

 

Use This Soil Sucking Method Every Time You Vacuum Clean Your Carpets

 

Now, I don’t expect you to always vacuum clean your carpets against the carpet pile flow. That would be too difficult for most people. But if you keep this method in mind constantly while vacuum cleaning, knowing which way your pile flows, then you will pick up much more soil.

Another great method is to pull your machine slowly towards yourself. The slower you can pull it, the more soils you will pick up. So please remember, work with your vacuum cleaner raising your carpet pile for the vacuum to pull out soils. Work slower with your vacuum cleaner and pull out even more soils.

This carpet vacuum cleaning method works with cylindrical vacuum cleaners too. Rather than pulling the floor tool in any old direction across your carpets. Instead push the tool into the carpet pile. Doing this, your raising the pile pushing into it and the vacuum will follow. Simply feel which way your carpet pile is set. You can do that with your hand. Just stroke your hand across your carpet and feel which way the pile flows.

That’s all I’ve got for you on this post. Please leave a comment and let me know what you’d like me to cover next. I am eager to help you more. You may well like to view, ‘benefits of carpet cleaning‘ a post all about carpets and carpet cleaning benefits.

How Often Should Carpets Be Cleaned.

How Often Should Carpet Be Cleaned?

Recommended By The National Carpet Cleaners Association. (NCCA)

Clean Carpets At Least Every 8 Months.

If your following along with my suggestions, you are probably considering doing your own carpet cleaning. The benefits of DIY carpet cleaning are huge.

Let’s say for instance you have 4 people living in your home — Mum and Dad and two Children. Not forgetting your pet Dog. Can you imagine for a minute the lapse between 8 month carpet cleanings. Imagine the daily bombardment on your carpeting, it really can be quit extensive. Your carpets would wear out rapidly with the foot traffic alone.

Then you’ve got spillages and droppings. Also, dust mites accumulating every day. Bacteria growth and all sorts of other contaminants living and breading in our carpets. This is why we must clean our carpets at least every 8 months. This is how often carpets should be cleaned.

 

Why Not Keep Your Carpets Ship Shape Clean Yourself.

 

If you aim to clean your carpets every 8 months. This will prevent build up of bacteria. But as we do have special occasions that bring us visitors to our homes. Like kids parties, weddings, Christmas ext,,, you may decide that clean carpets are necessary for these special occasions.

A quick look at your rooms will help you decide whether or not to clean the carpet. After all 4 people and a Dog can quickly soil your carpets during any 8 month period. So how I would do the carpet cleaning is, I would stick to the 8 month intervals. But for special occasions, I would consider cleaning the rooms you’ll be using. Of course, in some instances, your carpets may well be fine (no visible soil) So you skip cleaning if your happy with the look of your rooms.

If you are one of my existing customers, you should have your own tools, solutions and easy access to a hire machine. Or, you have your own machine. Owning your own equipment simplifies your carpet cleaning activities and reduces your costs. For instance, if your hiring a machine and you’ve got your own tools and solutions, then a simple phone call or a web site order gets you a hire machine.

Expect Complements When People See Your Nicely Cleaned Carpets. “It Looks Like A New Carpet” Is A Common One.

 

If you do clean your carpets for your special occasions, then simply return back to the 8 month cleaning interval. Very quickly, you’ll get to know what your doing. Your carpet cleaning will become much easier and faster each time you do it. But please don’t rush your carpet cleaning too much, that will tire you out. Just go easy every time. You’ll enjoy carpet cleaning as you become more proficient at it.

To re-cap — How often should carpet be cleaned? Carpet cleaning at least every 8 months is recommended by the National Carpet Cleaners Association. Following this advise will help evade health risks and keep your carpets maintained. However, special occasions can be catered for by cleaning carpeted rooms you’ll be using (if soil is visible) After cleaning for a special occasion, revert back to your 8 month intervals. Repeat this process ongoing.

I’m making suggestions here, these ideas are not set in stone. But this gives you some idea as to how often you should clean your carpets. Many circumstances will differ, but the above example can be used as your guide.

Carpet Cleaning Brush

 

Always Use A Carpet Cleaning Brush.

I Discovered How Important A Simple Carpet Brush Was To My Business. Here’s What Happened To Me…

 

I remember one lady customer who invited me in to clean her lounge carpet. I set to work and got the job done within 1 1/2 hours. I charged £25. That night, after tea, off I went to the pub to get drunk! But one thing I remember so well about that particular job, was how I drenched the carpet. I simply just went over and over and over it again and again with the machine to remove visible soils.

The carpet got so wet, my guess is that it took at least two days to dry! Now the lesson in this story is about one tool which is The Carpet Cleaning Brush. If  I’d have had this one tool on that particular day when I drenched the ladies carpet, then things would have been better. If I’m honest, I did not even know that a carpet brush was available in those days. So who suffered? Well, everyone involved really. From the customer to the customers family, to me and my business.

 

One Day I Spotted This Brush For Carpet Cleaning At My Suppliers Store. I Was Immediately Overcome By What Was Missing In My Business.

 

I kind of knew intuitively how this cleaning brush would help me with cleaning carpets. Within a week I purchased a carpet pile brush and some pre-spray solution too.

My work resumed as normal, apart from one major fact. Suddenly, my carpet cleaning results shot through the roof!

carpet cleaning brush
Carpet cleaning brush for agitating pre-spray solution into carpets.

I started getting absolutely magical carpet cleaning results and from much less effort too. This was not only good for my business but my customers too. It was like everything just turned around over night.

Very quickly, I started getting tons of referral work. I was regularly asked back to do a re-clean months later. It was a complete turn around for my business.

For the small cost of one of these carpet brushes, you can get exceptionally good carpet cleaning results yourself. It requires a bit of work to use the brush, but you simply go easy. Just do a small section at a time, about 4ft square.

Go here, how to use a carpet cleaning brush.

No other brush will be suitable for cleaning carpet in the same way. The Carpet Pile Brush pictured above was built for the job. If you try to use any other brush, the chances are that you’ll either break the brush or you won’t get the same great carpet cleaning results. You must use the right kind of brush. The term for it is “Carpet Pile Brush“.

One Of Your Local Janitorial Supplies Stores Will Probably Sell You A Carpet Pile Brush.

 

But some suppliers may not stock it. Therefore you have to keep trying in order to get one. In the UK, probably 60% of all janitorial supplies stores will stock these brushes. But over seas, it may well be another matter.

Carpet cleaning tools and solutions available below.

You’ll also need a pre-spray solution and a rinse solution in the extraction machine. The pre-spray solution is sprayed onto your carpet first using a pressure sprayer. Then you simply use your brush to agitate the pre-sprayed solution into your carpet pile. Then you rinse through with a good rinse solution in the extraction machine. Job Done!

If you don’t buy here, you must search for the cleaning brush and eventually you’ll find it. The Brush comes as just the head. You need to attach a normal brush pole onto it, but its easy. Anyone can attach a brush pole onto then head of a brush.

Do check out this vital tool. It will absolutely turn your carpet cleaning around. You get zero over wetting, you get a concentrated cleaning action, fast drying, and a thorough and lasting clean right down deep into the pile of your carpets.

Check out The Carpet Brush and put it to use in your home. It will probably last you for ever. So you only need to buy one. Then your carpet cleaning efforts and results will never be the same again ever.

Remember, pre-spray first, brush agitate with your brush, lastly rinse through using a carpet cleaner machine.

Thanks for now,

For Exceptionally Clean Carpets, You Will Need To Pre-Spray And Brush-In This Fantastic Carpet Cleaner Solution.

 

I know, that if you’re reading this post, the likely hood of you being serious about keeping your carpets clean is high. But just having a desire for cleaner carpets is sometimes not what gets them clean.

 

Multi-Pro Is A Powerful Solution Which Is Pre-Sprayed Onto Carpets FIRST.

 

Without Multi-Pro carpet cleaner pre-spray, you will probably be creating a cleaning related problem for yourself. If carpets are not cleaned properly, then you can get all sorts of problems.

  • Over wetting
  • Slow drying
  • Dull looking carpets
  • Re-soiling
  • Shrinking

and many more other cleaning related problems.

3 litre carpet sprayer and multi pro fluid cleaning fluid
Carpet sprayer and Multi pro. (Prochem)

In order to avoid such mishaps when cleaning your carpets, this pre-spray solution which I am recommending to you is pretty crucial. (There are many other carpet cleaning pre-spray solutions you can use) You need one that will clean your carpets thoroughly. You see, most carpet pre-spray solutions will actually clean your carpets before you even approach them with a machine.

Like so many people who have a go themselves, cleaning a carpet with just a machine is not the answer. The machine you use for cleaning should be looked upon as a rinsing machine and not a cleaning machine. Most DIY’rs soak carpets trying to remove heavy soils using just the machine.

This is the best carpet cleaner solution (Multi-Pro). It does all the cleaning work for you first. Then you switch on your machine and simply rinse out the pre-sprayed solution which has pre-cleaned your carpet for you. But this process does not take place without effort. Multi Pro needs to be brush agitated into your carpet pile for it to loosen, dissolve and separate soils from your carpet fibers.

 

Two Solutions Interact And Cause A Cleaning Action.

Best carpet rinsing solution

A rinse solution is used in the extraction machine which works in combination with the Multi Pro. The two solutions together create a cleaning effect. The rinse solution works by attracting the soils which you have loosened, separated and dissolved with your pre-spay. As you rinse your carpets through with the machine, the soils are more prone to be extracted because they are no longer matted in your carpet fibers. The soils are loose and are much easier to extract with any machine.

 

Carpet Pile Brush

 

Essential Carpet Brush For Agitating Pre-Spray Solution
You should never be without A Carpet Brush.

You simply must use a suitable carpet cleaning brush which you can only get from a suitable cleaning supplies store. This procedure will help you to keep your carpets cleaner and for much longer too. You’ll get zero over wetting and as a result, you’ll notice that your carpets dry bright and healthy. Too much water in your carpets make them dry dull and they become unhealthy as a result.

 

The best carpet cleaner solution is Multi-pro pre-spray. This method pound for pound cleans carpets better than any other system available to the DIY market today.

 

In fact, not a lot of people know about this pre-spray method. The majority just use an extraction machine, which means that their carpet will require cleaning more often. And generally, they have sick carpets because too much water has been used to shift stubborn soil.

Don’t be in the same category of the machine be all and end all group.

Also, last point, — you should never use a carpet cleaning machine without knowing how. So many people simply have no clue about how to operate a soil extraction carpet cleaning machine. See this post on this blog carpet steam cleaner hire. The post will show you a special technique for using a soil extraction carpet cleaning machine. Please don’t race out and get stuck into cleaning your carpets without first reading the post. I’ll tell you exactly how to operate a soil extraction machine so you get substantially better results.

You’ll be the pro because you’ll know exactly what your doing. Please refer to the above blog post, it’s on this site, for more important info.

Carpet Steam Cleaner Hire

Hire A Carpet Steam Cleaner.

Really Clean You’re Carpets Using Much Less Effort, Here’s How.

.

The fastest and simplest way to hire a carpet steam cleaner is two fold. Either way, you’ll get what you want, and you can compare a few prices as well. Most carpet steam cleaner hire machines for diy carpet cleaning are much the same. You can visit any number of hire shops in your local area and each carpet steam cleaner will be very similar in most ways.

The secret when your looking to hire a machine is to obviously get one that suits your needs. You can usually choose from an upright machine, (like a rug doctor) or a wand type carpet cleaner.

I don’t want to bear any prejudice about which diy machine you should choose, but I will tell you the benefits of each one. I am referring to a soil extraction machine while using the term steam cleaner. Most people use the term steam cleaner when referring to the soil extraction cleaner.

1/ Using An Upright Carpet Steam Cleaner Hire Machine.

carpet steam cleaner hire, upright machine
Upright carpet steam cleaner machine.

These type of carpet cleaning machines often come with a wand tool attachment. So you actually get both types of machine in one. You get a hand tool (remember to ask for it) with the machine for stair cleaning, carpet edges, stain and spot cleaning

The idea of the upright steam cleaner machine is that it can easily be pulled across your carpet. You simply just add your cleaning solution and you pull the whole machine across your carpet slowly in order for it to clean. Because you are actually pulling the machine, the weight of it needs to be low as you would struggle pulling a heavy machine filled with cleaning solution.

Because of how most upright hire machines work, the whole thing is compact. You get less cleaning solution in the machine for you to pull it across your carpets easier. But the good thing about these upright steam cleaning hire machines is that you get a rotating brush on the underside.

As the brush spins, it will loosen and separate carpet soils and the solution spray and vacuum will rinse and steam wash your carpets as you pull the machine across the carpet. This type of carpet steam cleaning machine is designed for easier cleaning. It requires nothing more than pulling the whole thing across your carpets slowly.

 

2/ For Optimum Results Hire A Carpet Steam Cleaner With A Wand Tool.

It Offers Precision Carpet Cleaning.

carpet steam cleaner hire, wand type machine.
Wand type carpet steam cleaner.

You’ve probably seen these types of hire machines used before. Very rarely will you see a professional carpet cleaning technician use anything but this type of steam cleaning machine. There are many advantages to this type of hire machine. But there are dis-vantages too.

The main reason why these machines are used by the pro’s is because there is a better and more precise way to control them. You get an accurate solution spray which you can use more precisely. For instance, say you have an area where you sit. There is soiling visible around where you rest your feet. By using the wand type carpet steam cleaner machine, you can clean these areas with much more precision.

The wand tool is not heavy, like pulling the upright steam carpet cleaner is. See this post about he small carpet steam cleaner. The soiled areas can be cleaned more easily using the wand type carpet cleaning machine.

 

Note: Use A Carpet Steam Cleaner Hire Machine With The Professional Techniques On This Site.

 

My guess is that if you fail to use the right carpet cleaning technique, you’ll over wet your carpet using this type of machine. Going over a soiled area re-repeatedly will drench your carpets.

However, my own personal opinion as far as which machine is best, either the upright carpet steam cleaner machine or the carpet steam cleaner with a wand tool is this;

You can actually fill up the wand type carpet cleaning machine because your not pulling it across your carpets. The only part of the machine which you are using is the wand tool. This is obviously easier, as dragging a heavy solution filled machine across your carpets can be strenuous work.

Something else I’d like to mention is this;

The wand type carpet cleaner machine will clean more carpet using one full solution tank. Were as, the upright cleaner will need to be re-filled before it does the same amount of carpet cleaning and as thoroughly too.

My own choice if asked, I would recommend that you hire a carpet steam cleaner with the wand type carpet cleaning. You want to do a room all in one go. You don’t want to be stopping and starting to fill the machine with cleaning solution.

Here’s How Professionals Use A Carpet Wand Tool.

The carpet wand tool has a front and back where it rests on your carpet. To prevent over wetting,  you raise your wand tool up high when your bringing the tool back towards yourself (solution trigger spray on) Then, stop after 1 foot and release your trigger spray. Then lower your wand tool to thigh height and push the tool forward over your cleaned area. So, it’s raise your wand tool high bringing it back towards yourself with the trigger spray pressed. After 1 foot, release the trigger spray, lower the wand tool to about thigh height then push forward across your cleaned area.

The reason why carpet steam cleaning with a wand tool must be done this way is because, if you look at the wand tool, you will see a front and a back edge where it meets your carpet. If you was to simply push and pull the wand tool across your carpets, then there would likely be zero air flow through the wand tool. What I mean is, that the air flow will carry the sucked out solution up through the wand tool and into the extraction machine recovery tank.

The air flow is created by raising and lowering the floor wand tool. The air rushes in through the back end of the tool while your pulling it towards your self (raised.)

When you lower the tool, the air rushes in the front of the tool and sucks up access solution into the recover tank.

Anyhow, that’s how to use a carpet wand tool. Follow these instructions and the likely hood of you over-wetting your carpets is dramatically reduced.

I’m referring carpet steam cleaning as soil extraction cleaning. Most people, even pro’s and customers alike refer to it as the same thing.  But I’m not telling you too much here. You may well like to visit this blog for additional reading — https://www.carpetcleaner-hire.co.uk/blog/.
