Carpet Shampoo

[imported_PaPaHoFF1]

What is your favorite carpet shampoo and why?

Does an extractor remove the necessity of a shampoo?

Could you use regular carpet shampoo's on cars without any problems?



I am going to save up for an extractor and a steamer but they are real expensive heh but Id rather save for a good one than buy a cheapo.

Woolite and water has been a winner for me. No complaints.

LGCM means the Little Green Cleaning Machine from Bissell?



That thing is soo cheap i figured it didnt work that good but all I hear it great results from it. Currently im using my Sister's $600 Dollar Carpet Cleaning Vacum but I just bring it Ouside and use attachments. Its got brushes the spin as you eiher ly down or suck up the liquid, it a very nice machine.

Folex + my 6.5HP shop vac has proved itself in some tough staining for myself.

you guys who use woolite, what ratio with water do you use to clean the carpets? And how are you guys applying it, with a scrub brush and scrubing till its clean, then rinsing with warm water then using a shop vac and sucking up all the excess water?

For regular woolite, I use it 10:1 at the most because it tends to foam and hide defects/stains which turn up later during the drying process. For high efficiency, I use it 20:1 on light jobs and 15:1 on heavier jobs with great results.
