Here’s The Definite DON’TS When Cleaning Carpets With A Soil Extraction Machine.
Some people tend to think that if you put bucket loads of water through the extraction machine and into your carpets, this cleans them good. Going backwards and forwards with the machine, with the solution spray ‘on permanently’ will over wet your carpets. When you come to a soiled area, the norm would be to blast the area with gallons of water from your carpet cleaning machine. This is a dreadful sin and this should be completely eliminated from your future carpet cleaning technique.
The logic behind this sort of saturation is to penetrate soils with cleaning solution hoping that the soils will loosen and eventually extract. They won’t! Because the soil gets soaked and seeps down into the carpet pile. Days later when the carpet dries, the soils will be back and black on the carpet surface. Foot traffic squelches the soil up from the pile base making it re-surface and so re-soil.
If I can transfer any thought to you at this point regarding how to clean carpet, it would be this one. Never over-wet a carpet while cleaning with a soil extraction machine.
