Thanks a million for the advice!! This just all makes so much sense even if I have little experience with carpet cleaning. I just know its right bc Its common sense when you wash something with soap, you need to rinse the soap out after

I am a carpet cleaning technician I do recommend using a low pH rinse with a boosting agent that is a low pH that will not leave a horrible residue in order to get all of the water residue and soap residue you must do a lot of dry passes also make sure you pre-treat stains before going over any of your spots with the machine Always vacuum first before doing any deep carpet extraction and pre-treat stains first as well When doing wet passes and dry passes make sure to go over it slow until all water and residue is removed

Hi I used too much detergent. What should i do?

I’ve had a carpet cleaner for years and love to clean my carpets before I have company around, visitors are always so impressed by how clean my house smells, definitely recommend!

I was on a large film production set awhile back after the shoot was over. The professional carpet cleaners came by The carpet was wall to wall over 1000 sq.f they did exactly that vacuum vacuumed then sprayed the whole carpet with a garden sprayer then did the same hot water pass and then sucked the water out. Then came the fans. The next morning the 30 years carpet looked fantastic. Excellent video. Thanks for sharing Cheers 🇨🇦

I like how I watched this AFTER I already cleaned my carpet with a rental. Not only did I add soap to the tank but I never did just a dry suction pass. Guess I will do it the right way next time. Thank you.

Thank you!! It is gonna be my first time I rent a carpet cleaning machine. I going to spray the liquid solution first and then just hot water and finally dry pass!

Thank-you :-) I rented a Britex form the Woolworths down the road and used your tips. The carpets have come up so good and didn't need the defoamer. Glad I saw your video first.

I don't usually comment on videos but this was a-mazing! Thank you for putting these instructions together, really appreciate it!

thank you, gonna give it a go this week on carpeting in a condo we bought from some senior citizens. unsure as to the age of the carpet but it is very dirty. We will try to clean before we replacing it if necessary. fingers crossed we can get a few more years out of this carpet for less money than it will cost to replace. enjoyed your video and will use your methods. thanks again and PEACE.

Fantastic video. I purchased a Bissell vacuum cleaner and followed these instructions. 👍👍👍👍

Excellent advice. I never paid attention to when my pro came to do my carpet that they sprayed the carpet first then used their steam cleaner but that is what they did and I am doing mine in two days because he is all booked up for the holidays and I need to clean it now, so Rug Doctor it is and hope it works.

WOW that was very useful information, I've been doing wrong all this time. Now armed with the right way to accomplish a good cleaning from a professional, thank you sir.

I do this but just slightly different. I use a pre spray carpet cleaner on all the stained areas. Let it sit for around 15 to 20 minutes. Then I use my commercial grade carpet cleaner, which we know is more durable, has 2 motors, one for the brushes and one for the suction but still isn't a "true" commercial grade unit to clean the carpet. The first go around, I use hot water and detergent but only 1/2 what they call for. After all, I have that pre spray on too. Then I go over one more time but use only cold water. This is to extract any soap residue as your 100% correct that soap attracts dirt! If your doing this, you need to go slow!!! It may have great suction but still nothing compared to the true industrial units. Finally, when you vacuum, again go slow! I've used Bissel, Shark, and Dyson. But the bagless vacuums don't have as much suction as a bagged vacuum cleaner. I use a Riccar where the bags collect 99.99% of dust, dirt, and other micro things. In 3 homes I've owned, both brand new and used, after 1 year or less the carpet had to be restreched. It really has suction. And you'll get your carpets cleaner if you vacuum like your using a carpet cleaner. In all reality, most vacuums are similar in nature. But people tend to vacuum way too fast! Anyway, it works for me. Like any job, the preparation is what usually takes the longest. Great video!!!

This is a great video. I really like how he teaches you step by step.

Whoa. Cool. Thx and logical. I bought a rug doctor about four years ago and it still in the box in the garage. Now I can drag it out and figure out what I'm doing. These are good tips. And it's much more logical which generally good tips are meant to be. Peace and blessings. Gail in Central Florida October 26, 2020. If you haven't voted folks vote. Your carpet may depend on it.

Thanks for watching Jen. I hate seeing people get ripped off by these big corporations. As a professional carpet cleaner I end up coming in after the excessive soap has been added to the carpet. It literally takes 15 to 20 mins to extract all the soap the person left behind. People are often shocked when I ask them if they tried cleaning it themselves. They look horrified as if I was some sort of clairvoyant. This is the reason for the video. Glad I could help.

Frank Atwood makes sense....not only probably costs more to keep the carpet clean.....but all that soap being left behind can't be too good for the skin of babies, and younger kids etc....no matter how much I try to discourage him from it, I know my little brother practically lives on our carpet...playing around and when he plays videos games etc..... that could probably be irritating and/or drying to ones skin.

Well now that just makes sense! Glad I saw this prior to renting.

Or how much water/soap would you use for a bedroom area? 2) How long should I set aside for drying time? We need to leave the apartment right after we are done with this so can I leave it wet or wait for it to dry?

For some reason it wont let me respond to your question. You can use a number of different soaps. Carpet cleaning is chemistry. Soluble and non-soluble. Your simply matching the PH of the soil in order to remove it. You need only three things soap, heat, and agitation. If your missing one double up on the other two. Yes you need water too...

Great video! Thank You!

So glad i saw this first! Thanks!

Thank you! I'll try this tomorrow. I wonder if I can make my own shampoo with products like resolve and the best products usually used for laundry, but since most companies are against this, I wonder if it's still possible to do so. Let me know if you can :)

Wow, glad I came across this. I plan on renting a carpet cleaner and most say to use the cleaner in the machine. I will try the diluted spray bottle technique since I am pretty sure it will work. I have a 12'X7' area rug I wish to clean. I've had it for 18 years and have never given it a really good cleaning. I thought of buying a new rug, but I have this really weird cat, who for some reason loves to lick the carpet. So, I have all of these small spots of clean carpet, all over the rug, just from my crazy cat licking the carpet. LOL. So I am sure that your method should do the job. Plus I am a little concerned for my cat, the less cleaner I need to use should be better for my nutty cat, because I know she will continue licking the carpet even after it's clean. I'll come back and let ya know how it turned out. Thanks again!!

I hope that's the information I needed? I purchased a home and was told that the carpets had been "professionally cleaned". I believe this to be an untrue statement from the realtor! The master bedroom has a very strong odor of urine from the previous owner, an elderly person whom may of had a problem with incontinence. I hope I can deluge the carpet with white vinegar, letting it seep in, then using the vacuum from a Rug Dr rental unit to remove the liquid.

@FrankAtwood

Cat Walker Vinegar will only mask the smell. You need to have the carpeting untucked and examine the damage. If it is really bad just get rid of the carpet. Several bottles of urine begone will only dent the surface. If it's bad animals will still use it. Hope this helps.

May not be the carpet cleaners fault if he is not told the nature of the staining. Many people will hire a professional carpet cleaner and just tell them to "clean the carpet' and want the cheapest price. If not told the nature of the staining or agreeing to a low price before asking to put in a lot of work to get the best result this is the end result.

Great video. Can you please educate us about detergents and chemicals as well

The soap the rug doctor sells has brighteners in it. It bends the UV light to make the carpet appear cleaner. It yellows the carpeting over time. It is highly discouraged by Shaw Industries the largest carpet manufacturer in the world. I get my soap from a carpet cleaning store in Austin, Texas. It is synthetic like most modern soaps and PH balanced for routine cleaning. They also sell heavier PH soaps for restaurant grease etc. As for use, less is more...i dilute an 8oz cup into 1 gallon of soap.

So glad I saw this video, thanks for posting! One question - in order to reach areas too small for the entire machine (such as behind a toilet) can the upholstery attachment be used instead? Thanks! :)
