I totally agree with cory here been using vlm for years done the truck mount bullshit got sick of browning an callbacks get rid of all the carpet chemicals peroxide ammonia will do away better job for you get a plant based prespray try it what have u got to lose wicking browning an callbacks an you will make way more money as well
Good content man....personally I started in the 90s w what was known as dry carpet cleaning (crbs)for a long time was all i knew...then got experience in TM hwe....so I've worked w both methods...n both have their place depending on circumstances. But yea had I spent thousands n thousands of $$ on a TM (which I didn't or wouldn't) I guess I would be mad at all the vlmers haha..in any case...I do believe vlm is very effective and when done properly can be a stand alone service....I have serviced accounts for 15-20 years doing vlm as a stand alone and has been very effective 💯💯💯
You are certainly right about steam cleaning, causing carpet wicking. Was at a school job many yrs ago. Steam cleaned a carpet, was in a day care room .Next day came back,all the dirt stains came back to top of carpet. Tried all day over over again with portable .Was young didnt know anything about VLM cleaning. Did some research asked a few old timers. Came back with sprayer, rotary machine, carpet brush and bonnets. Was totally sold on Vlm cleaning after that. Now i know from these videos about peroxide and ammonia mixtures with prespray and spotting. Really helps me alot thank you.
Wish I knew about this stuff yrs ago. Would of saved me alot of money on chemicals. Whole industry is a rip off. From store chemicals to expensive portables and truck mounts. Keep cost down, can be flexible about prices being charged to customers. Plus time being saved on jobs. All the little time saved, adds up end of day. So can fit more jobs in. What your sharing is a wealth of info, for new people starting their own company's up. Or somebody just cleaning their own carpets saving money. See this same mindset in whole floor care industry,in grout cleaning and strip and wax jobs. Pricey machines expensive chemicals. I've seen sales reps of these company's, give major kick backs, for sales to businesses and facility directors what they spend a yr on budgets. Just to keep buying their products. Some guy in office of a major company, has no clue about what to order. Then being told by sales reps what to buy. Then normal average Joe on job has to use it. When he knows there is a better smarter way.
From a DIY'er, thank you greatly. Definitely a problem that's hard to find definitive answers for, online. Must have watched 10 of your videos tonight. Now subscribed. Good luck to you.
Tim Paddy Thanks I am glad I was able to help. I try to offer answers to questions people haven’t really thought to ask. I upload daily. Plenty of good people reach out. 🙏
You are absolutely 💯 👌 I am getting back into the carpet and upholstery cleaning and I am going all low moisture i have a few friends with big trucks mount and I nicely tell them that I clean fibers not carpets
TheCleanist It is mixed rather strong. It is not the ordinary mix. It can be done on vacant homes. Ammonia is too strong for most people to work with. I have a tolerance for it.
Generally I use a plant based detergent and peroxide together as a prespray. I can boost it several different ways if needed. Most spotting is done with peroxide or ammonia straight.
@@CarpetMuscleTV good to know. I have my first job this week. The job has a lot of pet stains, I was thinking of using carpet details as a pre spray and 20 volume as a spot cleaner.
@@hookedonponics74 Add peroxide to the prespray too. When you arrive go to all of the pet stains and treat them first with peroxide before you prespray. This will give the peroxide extra time to bleach out the urine in the bad areas

Thank you for the lessons I got my oreck last week. I'm still saving to buy more equipment so I can start my own business in 2021
looks like a LOT of work... bending over, kneeling, hand scrubbing edge by edge, etc... they wouldn't have been able to pay me enough lol..
Nice work again Corey! - how many parts ammonia to hydrogen peroxide to water in your spotter? Thank you!

hey Corey how much do you charge for filtration line removal?
You are absolutely 💯 👌 I am getting back into the carpet and upholstery cleaning and I am going all low moisture i have a few friends with big trucks mount and I nicely tell them that I clean fibers not carpets
I appreciate you watching. Hopefully I can be of some help to you in your endeavor.
Thanks Corey
@@CarpetMuscleTV thanks brother and watch you video on mixing the cleaning products and I wrote it down
Wow
.
.
looks good, how strong is the mixture? just got my oreck today !
TheCleanist It is mixed rather strong. It is not the ordinary mix. It can be done on vacant homes. Ammonia is too strong for most people to work with. I have a tolerance for it.
Thanks for this video, been thinking of getting into the business. Do you use the ammonia and 20 volume peroxide as a pre spray ?
Generally I use a plant based detergent and peroxide together as a prespray. I can boost it several different ways if needed. Most spotting is done with peroxide or ammonia straight.

@@CarpetMuscleTV also, thank you. Like your videos and appreciate the experience you are sharing.
@@hookedonponics74 Add peroxide to the prespray too. When you arrive go to all of the pet stains and treat them first with peroxide before you prespray. This will give the peroxide extra time to bleach out the urine in the bad areas
@@CarpetMuscleTV will do. Thank you so much.
Nice job Corey
👍🏼
Did you mix the ammonia and the 20 volume with water?
An if you did how much did you put of each thing?
Martinez Orbital carpet cleaning Pure ammonia only. No mixing. Ammonia and heat. 👍👍
CarpetMuscleTV thank you for the info. I can see it takes the dark spot out of the carpet I like this a lot 👍
