I am sure many of you have heard about chemdry, the carpet cleaning process where carpets dry in 1-2 hours vs 1-2 days...



I always have a problem returning a car to a client with dry carpets without using the heater, which causes the carpets to brown.



is there a tool, process that is similar to chemdry to be used in our line of work?
 
What kind of extractor are you using? Very rarely (damp rainy days) is the carpet not nearly dry when I am finished. You could use a foam cleaner, but I do not think you would get the same level of cleaning as an extractor.
 
mytee lite II - no matter how many times I vacuum/extract with no water, the carpets are still damp



I am talking about the more plush interiors, not ones like BMW with super short nap

I looked at the stats of your machine, and it is a little low on vacuum lift (85). That could be why you are not removing all the moisture. Just to note my Sensei has 130 inches of lift. Short of getting a new machine, you could use a dry MF to get up some of the residual moisture. The other option is to get a dryer that uses ambient air to dry rather than heated air.
 
These dryers are phenomenal. Set it in the vehicle after you're done working and keep one of the doors open a few inches to let air escape.

You can buy a new pump for this pump that will get 137" of lift. I think they run about 130$. I'm considering this option.

I will do some checking on this chem dry for cars. The creator is a client of mine, and the production facilities are in my town. I will talk with the powers that be about this.



Merry Christmas,

Pumps don't provide lift, they provide fluid delivery. The Mytee Lite uses a pretty week vacuum motor so you're able to run it off a single household (or generator) circuit. You can source an upgraded Lamb Motor for a couple hundred but powering it may be an issue.



I upgraded the pump in my 8070 Heated and threw my Heating Element for a loop.... the thing has been sitting, unused for almost a year. One day I will mod the whole thing and get some decent specs. They are a great size for us mobile guys.
 
I'll quote myself since my post seemed to be overlooked. Purchase an air mover like the one I have linked and you won't have problems drying an interior in a couple hours.

I've had ChemDry done in my house and was not impressed. They can claim whatever they want, but it took just as long to dry as steam cleaning. And I was less than impressed with the cleaning ability - I can do a better job with a rented Rug Doctor and a gallon of Folex. My mom tried ChemDry as well and had the same experience.
 
Whenever I detail a vehicle ,I always do the inside first. That way by the time I'm finished the mats and carpet are dry. This is of course in warm weather. Otherwise I put forth a greater effort not to get these areas to wet.
