Your cleaning detergent is absolutely splendid, and all your videos are a great help. Thank you for all you're doing because it really helps to refine our skills to perform the services to our clients efficiently.
I'm not a carpet cleaner yet but each client for me would cause me to do whatever it requires to get everything out as possible no matter how many passes because@the end of The job they will say well done again Top job then they will transfer those $$$ into my account and I can sleep soundly knowing my clients appreciate my due diligence of work to service them well.
This is the industry's dirty little secret. As a fresh hire it took me a week to start asking the big questions. What is clean? Clean is when the customer doesnt phone back. Its small buisness with zero regulatory board and zero quality assurance. The only enforcement that buisness owners answer to are BBB and labor boards, there is no technolgy to assure sanitation or proper application of chemicals, and thourough doesnt equate to profitable so its a breeding ground for crooks and it all rolls downhill to new techs who are pressured to chase that next job or finish early because a 1 truck operation calls for 100% of the work for a fraction of the pie, so techs get the rest of the pie by working less and trashing equipment or not moving couches. Imagine going to work and not feeling pressured to be a crook because anyone with integrity is just passing through in this industry.
I work for the popular yellow van Carpet cleaning company I think everyone knows who I'm referring to I wish we trained like this we leave carpet wet for days after cleaning and tell the customer that's normal😕
I worked for them in the mid 80's. Back then their quality was high and I learned what I had been doing wrong at the previous company I worked for. Nowadays their reputation is not so great.
Not doing dry strokes is highly detrimental in my state where we have extremely high humidity. Careless, production oriented carpet cleaners and cleaners who don't understand or care about their equipment capability seem to be the motive behind "no dry strokes."
Benjamin Bennett agree. High or low humidity plays a large part in the drying process. Regardless of environmental conditions, ample clean/rinse and double the amount dry strokes will make a dramatic difference.
OnePass cleaning what a joke. I guess I’m not part of the industry I do several several passes of both wet and then several passes dry dry because it’s a eclipse 500 psi portable extractor. And usually it takes 7 hours to dry. Also depends on the make up of the carpet fibers I do overlapping also half of the wand. Good video. Also when I dry vacuum because I have a portable carpet extractor. I dry vacuum I go north south east and west and then diagonally. Why not. YOU did a great video.
Thanks Rob for telling it how it is. I am so sick of my competitor saying how much they charge which is soo BS. Most guys out there are so un educated that they bring the prices down so much. I laugh at people who say they charge $1 square foot and do 7 houses? How ???? After seeing some of them, majority don't vacuum , spot treat, prespray and know the difference what an acid rinse can do. The other day I went to purchase some equipment and I joke with a competitor, I said " that its going to take me 3 houses to pay for that". Funny they tell me I must be doing something wrong.
I am not too familiar with your products I ordered your pre spray the one that is spiked. What would be a good rinse. I'm cleaning a lot of dirty polyesters. Thank you.
Kimnbarry Couch thanks. I am sure you will be very pleased. We make 4 rinses. 2 liquid and 2 powder. With the Spiked I prefer the acidic powder or liquid. And remember, it doesn’t take much as all of our products are usually double the concentration of standard industry products.
Rug spa cleaning demonstrates how wall to wall carpet is never throghly dusted(vacuumed) or rinsed. The biggest complaint h.w.e. cleaners get is long dry times. Most h.w.e. cleaners deny that a problems exist with h.w.e..
Good video Rob! Now was it one of your techs that asked you this question 🤣 jk. One critique though, I think you needed 2 cameras for this video. One of the close up shots and one to get the full body. The close ups took away from what you were trying to show in my opinion.
Joseph Pais actually we have been discussing getting a second camera. However for free RUclips videos we might not use it. On school training videos that we are updating this year we definitely will.
You are not doing it properly best way is as soon as you pass the imaginary line then do a dry stroke the same line you cleaned this is how they teach at IICRC so best to do a dry pass as soon as you clean the line
ali Hapali 2 dry to each wet pass and more depending on fiber and soil type, soil levels and atmospheric conditions. The IICRC is old school, www.tmfacademy.com is new school.

Summery:
Never do one pass cleaning.
Alsways do 1 wet pass and two dry passes.
Correct. Repeat if not clean as much as necessary.
What to do if the carpet is really soiled? With black dust
Great training video. Thanks.

J.C. In the short run BS wins. In the long run quality always wins. 🥇
@@TruckMountForums Keep up the good work, your a hard worker.....

Kimnbarry Couch however on very oily polyesters I would use RSF Alkaline Neutralizing Rinse. 8oz in 5g mix tank metered @2-3gph will cut polys fast!

TruckMountForums for sure. Can’t be perfect on something that’s free although we all try to be right? :)
I’ve got a new video coming end this month. Look forward to you and the cleaning s-bags review. 😁
