I liked just for the “cleaner please”
Same 🤣🤣
T shirts good idea? 😂
“Cleaner please “ is crazy 😂
IKR? 😂
It's not "dry cleaning and wiping", VLM is low moisture. You still use water, you spray pretty heavily and scrub the fibers. You also don't turn the soil into mud so it wicks up as it drys.

VLM is an "incomplete clean" or "tip cleaning" at best. HWE works best according to sub floor, carpet construction, under layment and fiber length and type. Soil also factors in. There is a time for both but 95% time HWE is best for residential. Performing a "one" step process in a clients home is dishonest as you leave out several other key steps to proper and complete extraction. And just because someone has TM doesn't mean they are conscientious. However all things being equal HWE far exceeds VLM in completeness of clean, health and in extending fine furnishing life.
@@TruckMountForums Sorry dude, disagree. soil extraction transfer technology is fine for most residential work in my opinion (and more ideal in some situations). A more apt comparison than toilet paper and a shower would be wet wipes and a shower. I absolutely agree HWE is required for residential sometimes, if the carpets are truly trashed or you are using 6 pads before the soil stops coming for example. Normal carpets though? They can be cleaned and maintained very well with the VLM/SETT method. Its also a far more green solution which is important in places like California that are in drought. Another advantage is mobility, HWE isn't always possible in big cities where you cant park your truck or get hoses up to apartments that are several stories up. Also why is it one step? Its 6, Vacuum, Agitation, Pre-spray, Extraction, Vacuum, Groom. Finally as I pointed out before no wicking. I feel like you are using a strawman to describe SETT, it's being misrepresented to make it easier to attack.
@@Gr8Lokiwouldn’t agitation happen right after applying prespray as it’s still working?
@@DiamondSt8lows yeah, wrote the order wrong. My mistake.
I’ve always said “VLM is a great interim cleaner”, but it’s not a stand alone cleaner. It’s lazy, misleading and a short cutting of the uneducated public to make a quick buck.
Bro said "Cleaner Please" 😂❤
😂
I use both methods. Depends on the situation
There ya go. See this ruclips.net/video/s36QYNQFJvs/видео.html
Oh you did me a dirty! ha just kidding both methods have their place and I agree with that :)
Nate the great. Plenty work for around even for diaper spinners! 😄
Cleaner, please 🤣
😂
I appreciate this, I was wondering what the difference was.

I usually do hot water extraction first and then bonnet cleaning after.
Good stuff!
The true problem is, theres so many bad steam cleaners out there it makes people think its not a good method.
Yep. The equipment, no matter how good, is only as good as the operator.
Your high pressure steamer turns the soil to mud and plasters it down into the carpet. That's why stains return as the carpet wicks dry. But you already knew this.
Usually when it rains and turns soil to mud… it’s cold rain. I’ve never experienced pressurized steam from the heavens.
He's a complete business owner tho.. a carpet cleaning guru, do you clean carpets?
I am a carpet cleaner and this is simply not true. Steam cleaning will actually saturate the carpet and padding (mostly due to poor training) the carpet dries 4 months later *joke* and the wet padding along with the stain will surface again.
Low moisture cleans the carpet without saturating the padding, and in most cases cleans much MUCH better.
@@atlantakwikdry6654that’s a lie. That’s why u need a professional with proper training . Steam cleaning is the best way. I’ve cleaned behind other methods and carpet is ALWAYS still dirty.
@@atlantakwikdry6654truckmounts have the capability of cleaning at as low as 150psi while maintaining heat over 225°-300° and dry passes can be performed or a waleighted tool dry pass (zipper/bonzer) and if you have long dry times it's a operator malfunction and needs to be corrected immediately. I.I.C.R.C. there are levels to this
I use the buffer just to losse the dirt. Then i extract with a rug docktor.
Everyone starts somewhere.
I’m a vlm carpet cleaning company and our carpets look cleaner longer and look better than steam cleaning and unlike steam cleaning my carpets don’t look like 💩three months because you soaked the carpet pad pushing all that to surface and don’t get me started on all the Chems and soaps and detergents left behind but nice try guy but great sales tactic
Little inside info, I started off as a VLM cleaner and made the switch to HWE after trial, error and education. Then I became a dual method professional. Without going into the science for lack of space here I’ll address the fallacies you harped on. Define better. Either method can be performed wrong and suffer rapid re-soiling. Speaking of soaking, VLM lacks the flush and extraction capability for urine in padding. HWE does. Also having an array of chems allows a cleaner to address specifics. Lastly, those pointing fingers are usually worst offenders. And true to point your argument is laced with “sales tactics” that I used to use on clients and fellow professionals before I got educated. Limiting yourself only limits your success.
You got owned😂
@@KillJD lmao
Vlm is funny stuff.
@@TruckMountForumsthat’s great info. However with HWE carpets can sometime take up to 72hrs to dry. Moisture attracts and traps dust, dirt, pollen, dead skin and leaves them in the carpets. This is all made worse when you leave fans blowing over them to increase their drying rate.
With low moisture cleaning you don’t soak up the pad, only the carpet fibers.
Heat is also very damaging to the plastic in the carpets. It causes them to expand, then when you suck the life out of it, you cause everything to stretch and lose tension. This often leads to the development of air pockets.
I also forgot to mention that with the long drying period you often get mold and mildew growth in and underneath the pad.. I only use HWE if it is absolutely necessary and only in small areas. I use VLM for everything else.
Also make sure you are saying this is your opinion and not a scientific fact. Collaboration is always better then competition between businesses. It looks like you have an awesome set up and I hope you have a great 2024👍
If 70% of soil is dry than I wonder if the rest can be cleaned via VLM.
VLM only "tip cleans" but the contaminants like bacteria, sticky food and oils are still below and require HWE to properly remove. However VLM can be used an interim clean.
what is the machine you were using?
Owreck. 😁
Excellent video
Much appreciated.
Great video !cleaner please
Glad you liked it. And yes, cleaner please. 😆
does steam cleaning leaves water or droplets under the carpet?
The suction usually gets most of the moisture then you turn on fans or the Ac or both to lower humidity and it dries up fairly quick. Open doors if it's dry outside.
Not if its cleaned and dried properly. Many these days tale short cuts. A true professional never does.
Then how come VLM cleaners say stream is not the best especially for frequent cleaning and especially for commercial?

Nice. 😊
Much appreciated.
So many negative reviews here. His talking about hot water extraction not steam high pressure cleaning. I use this method for high piled carpets and heavily soiled carpets which encapsulation method doesn’t cut it. And he did mention encapsulation method is good for low piled carpets which I use for. Do your research and carpet cleaning course it will go a long way. Great video.
Good observation and thank you.
Truth
Truth stands up to the challengers. Thanks.
How do you like the TCS? Thinking of those while looking at the Prochem circa 94'
Great units and great people.
In a proper cleanin of anything u have to extract the dirt so extraction for me
Yes the definition of clean is "removing contamination" and that's where HWE (hot water extraction) excels by a wide margin that VLM is not capable of attaining.
💯
Much appreciated.
Have to disagree with him.
Its a free world but science and physics disagrees with you. Here is a video by a triple master cleaner/restorer/inspector who breaks it down...ruclips.net/video/s36QYNQFJvs/видео.html
I feel the VLM vs HWE teams are like the Flat Earth vs Globe teams.
Power scrubs
"Power scrubs" the tips of the fibers. Not good.
This guy preaches hot water extraction but as a dry carpet cleaning business owner Id say 40 percent of my jobs are after they do hot water extraction and it wicks back or comes back grey or smelling bad.
I "preach" what works best according to sub floor, carpet construction, under layment and fiber length and type. Soil also factors in.

I stand by what I said. Hot water extraction looks good for a day or two and then wicks back. Your just spreading everything around
@@derekd8142 your absolutely correct
@@derekd8142that’s not correct. HWE performed correctly is scientifically proven to be the best method. The definition of “clean” is the removal of contaminants. VLM spreads it around, pushes it deeper into the substrate and is only a tip cleaner at best. Now does that mean there is not a place for VLM in the industry? Of course there is, just not as a stand alone cleaner. It is a great interim cleaner, esp on CGD carpet. Just make sure it’s flushed out every 4th clean. It’s also good for the rare reoccurring stain or redo. It’s a great tool to have in the toolbox but using it as a stand alone cleaner is not only unprofessional but it’s also unethical in many cases.
what carpet is that?
It's traditional cut pile carpet.
Oh no you shot me down 😵 I'm ruined. 😉
Funny. But God made plenty dirt go around for us all. Even the 5.00 room hacks get some. 😉
Encapsulation and agitation during VLM (very low MOISTURE) capture cleaning. VLM cleans and deoders without taking a heavy toll on the life of the carpet.
Hi sir my name is aggrey from Nairobi Africa can you sponsor me with one washing carpet machine to start a business of washing I will be glad thank you
Generally African homes do not have carpet, no?
I wish a cleaner would lol
Or could lol.
Did he just say cleaner please 😳🤔
Yes.
This is utterly wrong.

Cleaner please 😂
😆
everyone w/o a bidet and uses only TP to wipe😂
Gotta be somewhere close to 80% of people in USA. Can't just wipe once and call it done 😂 you still got shit on your ass! Dry wipe wet wipe dry wipe or a similar combo gets the job done ✅
HWE flushes that dirty azz. 😆
😂 cleaner, please. This needs to be a shirt
Cleanuh please lol
😁
Is nobody going the mention that he still has shoes on?!!?!?!?
It's a demo not a cleaning. But I'll have a talk with him. 😆
Cleaner please lmao
😁
They both have their downsides.

Bull 💩. You don’t need all of that material to clean your carpet. Nice salesman’s tactics
Science and physics shows you're the real BS'r. Onlookers watch this ruclips.net/video/s36QYNQFJvs/видео.html
Bottom line is both methods have their advantages and disadvantages..but both can produce extremely good results..personally I prefer low moisture or the SETT method..but it’s all personal opinion…this clown is just trying to sell steam cleaners and truck mounts for more profit..try both methods see witch you prefer..don’t listen to this clown
By the way I was a carpet cleaner for about 2 years and then worked at a successful carpet cleaning supply store with 3 locations in California for 16 years until I retired I’ve seen people push certain methods and equipment to make more money..nothing wrong with that ..that’s business..but the truth is either of these methods and a few more will work very well if done properly and professionally..it’s certainly more the person doing it then what their doing it with
