dry fusion question.
« on: October 05, 2004, 09:28:47 pm »
Hi all,
I have commercial carpet to clean for a friend of mine.

the carpet is new but has been walked on by contractors leaving a trail of dirt.

It has been scotchguarded and i have been asked whether cleaning with dry fusion will remove this.

I of course know that dry fusion will provide stainblocker anyway, but will cleaning remove the original and replace with new or will it not move the original .

hope this is not to confusing.

Ian

My understanding ,Ian, is that Dry Fusion will be fine on top of another flourocarbon protector. Give Dry Fusion a call tomorrow if you are still not confident.

Even given a worst case scenario, you could always clean with Dry Fusion but miss out the final stage of heat curing the protector, as you will already do on barrier mats.

Safe and happy cleaning:)

thanks for your input ken,

have emailed dry fusion without reply yet.

I agree with you about the heat, but does activator not need the heat to work to its full potential.

I think I will clean as normal but at a lower setting on thermostat.

thanks again.

You should still be using heat with your Dry Fusion machine at the appropriate setting for the particular carpet. The stage you would miss out is the flipping of the pad onto the dry side to cure the protector if you were uncertain. Personally, I would clean the carpet, dry and cure the protector in the usual way.

I suspect you didn't recieve a reply from the Dry Fusion UK office because they were away on a weekend "Jolly" down in London ;)

Safe and happy cleaning:)
