Nasty Carpet Before and After Shots
We have an area of carpet that gets a massive amount of traffic and never stays clean so I gave up on in about a year ago so that we could put our Enzyme Stain & Odor Remover and our top secret hot water carpet extractor formula to the test. This past weekend it was time to see if we could bring this section of carpet back to life. I really enjoyed using the carpet extractor and I`m very happy results!

Wow.......
I`ve got a bottle of the carpet and upholstery cleaner coming tomorrow. Here`s to hoping it`s quite good! If I had an extractor I`d probably be begging for a sample lol
Re: Nasty Carpet Before and After Shots
We are trying out a NEW Extractor formula ... the carpets look new and no sign of stains after a pre-treat of Enzyme :ph34r: ... if you have an extractor, you might want to send Dwayne a message ;)
Many thanks to Jeff (JSFM35X) for his help with the extractor :)

oh you make me want to buy an extractor now after this post of those results
Re: Nasty Carpet Before and After Shots
That is very impressive. Did you guys only pre-treat and extract, or was there scrubbing involved?
Either way great job. I need to order more Poorboys stuff. Let us see some nasty car interior results too. Got any auto carpet 50/50 shots?r

Surprised you don`t have one with all the business you are always posting. Would pay for itself in no time. Although most of those Mopars don`t look like daily drivers, so guessing interiors aren`t too bad.
Re: Nasty Carpet Before and After Shots
The Skunk and The Heat Wave seem to be a good combo!! That looks good, Dwayne!!
I wonder how that would work in the Little Green Machine? :thinking

Thanks .. they were only sprayed and then extracted ... scrubbing :rofl have you seen a picture of us lately? :D
Neither of us detail vehicles other than our own any longer, so finding a good auto shot would be a bit hard to find .. i`m sure we will find a tester to do a few shots for us ;)
Re: Nasty Carpet Before and After Shots
Scrubbing!! haha.. I`m with you on that one, Poorboy.

well, problem is I don`t want to have to take on the nasty jobs...and that`s what I`d have to do if I had an extractor
I generally don`t even do much interior work
I`ve had great results by hand with Enzyme and their carpet cleaner at a few diff dilutions and a little elbow grease!
Re: Nasty Carpet Before and After Shots
Messaged Dwayne, I would love to test a sample, of course I`d need 32oz because I am doing the worst van that I have ever seen, next week. 140K miles of kid hauling...... hasn`t been clean in years.

lol .. the only Nasty vehicle I have to deal with is my wife`s, but since the mini-van days are over I also do spot work, but the extractor sure does a nice job :)

I wonder how it would compare to the Jeep I picked up a year ago. Not sure it`s EVER been cleaned (by prior owner). And I have 100k on you :)

I`ve found if you quote a really high price they will usually not book the interior with you :)
and if they say yes,, well... insert foot into mouth, lol and buy respirator mask and more gloves!

I`m sure the extractor played a huge role in the results that I was able to achieve. It sprays at 250 psi and gets the water really hot. Using hot water only barely did any cleaning but magic started happening when I added the extractor formula and it only took 1oz per gallon.
