Need help cleaing carpet w/o carpet cleaner

[00GREENMACHINE]

I have a lady that wants to get the inside carpets cleaned in her surburban and I told her about 40 bucks. I have a new 5hp ridge shop vac, I have plenty of apc and I have some folex. What would you do to clean the carpet. I need some good results. I also can get some oxy clean. Can you really get out all the stains. She has already told me up front there are a bunch of stains. :w00t:

Yes it is very possible to get out all the stains.

Vaccum
Spray on APC and folex, more concentrated on heavier stains,
Pour on some oxy with the hottest water you can find, let stand for 5 mins
Agitate
Extract with shop vac, a couple times may be needed

That is how I do carpets, and it rarely lets me down, or actually it never has!

** caution! Do not put hot oxy into a spray bottle and spray on. The pressure will explode your bottle. Its best to scoop the oxy onto the carpets with a cup from the bucket. **

OXY : 1 scoop per gallon - 2 gallons is usually sufficient
APC : 10:1
Folex : straight

Who needs an expensive extractor when a ghetto shop vac works just as good. Great Post GREG

Hey, if your wet vac has a vacuum lift of 102" and a 60 psi piston pump like a portable extractor, then you`re fine. If not, regardless of how much you vacuum, you are leaving residue behind that you do not see. Despite looking clean, it`s still there. What happens next is, when the person gets in with wet feet from the rain or snow, the remaining Oxy or APC residue reacts with the water from their feet a makes the carpet dirty at faster rate than if it was all extracted.

When you have carpeting cleaned in your house, the professionals use an extractor (not to mention the horror stories they told me regarding some of their customers using Oxy clean which is really a bleaching agent). So naturally, when you have the carpeting cleaned in your car (like your home), you hope (or rather expect) the professional uses an extractor.

Again, it boils down to using the right tool for the job. You choose not to. That`s your right. You aplaud Greg Cavi. I do too. Given that he is in high school, I don`t expect him to own an extractor since he is not a professional. But please refrain from making the obvious false comparisons between an extractor and a vacuum.

Your continued foolish obstinance only soldifies your ignorance in regards to proper, professional detailing methods and passing it off as acceptable. Maybe it`s me, but if I saw the carpet cleaning professional working on my area rug under the coffee table with Oxy Clean and a wet vac, before I make him pack up and leave my home, I`d ask him why he was using a ghetto shop vac instead of the proper carpet extractor tool to clean my rug.

Furthermore, please, on behalf of all DC members, re-size your images and post some new pictures instead of the same old interiors.

I`m sorry each time I have to school you like a petulant infant, but if you would not egg me on, or other members for that matter, your presence would be somewhat palatable.

Guess what, I already helped Spilchy get his account working and deactivated the StickyPinky account and everything is already taken care of.

You, on the other hand, have been banned twice recently on Autopia and now you are going to be banned on Detail City. Your cocky, arrogant, "above the rules" attitude and extra large photos that make me have to side scroll are really getting on my nerves and I am now going to ask you to leave Detail City.

The Fuzz says that you must be banned!
