I love the Dry Fusion system but you can't clean all types of carpet on it - sisal/seagrass is impossible and it would be downright dangerous to try it (then again you can't HWE them either).

In theory you can use DF to clean Flotex but it's a pain and I personally don't even bother.

But those types of carpet surely represent much less than 5% of the total carpets out there.

Berber shouldn't be a problem at all -  a soft woollen pad, which is lubricated by the DF prespray, is nowhere near as abrasive as people walking across the carpet or dragging furniture across it etc.

I would concur with a number of experienced posters on this thread having just completed a four storey town house with what looks like an identical carpet.  Much as my stair extraction technique has improved I still undercharged big time for that job after all those treads and risers.  Still, you live and learn.

To the OP:  The pile on the carpet you didn't work on has been flattened through normal use.  The bonneting of the DF machine has merely raised the pile on a number of the loops which, in all likelihood, have been lifted or pulled at some point in the carpet's life and would return to flat after a short period of normal use.

Re. Mr Callinan's posts, I can't see any criticism of DF anywhere by the OP.  He came asking for advice, which he received, some of which was from DF themselves.  If someone were to take the time and read the OP's posts you can see that he enjoys and has had considerable success in using the system.

Just a few thoughts.

Have you tried one of those concrete rollers the ones they use to flatten lawn............only a thought!! 

[james roffey]

I have used my sebo on these and i thought it was the best vacuum to use on these loop pile carpets as they trap the dirt more, in fact i can remember reading that these type of carpets should be "vacced to death" as part of a thorough clean

Ive cleaned a few berbers and they are hard wearing carpets but very delicate at the same time.  this is going to sound ridiculous but when cleaning berbers I use a microsplitter and a soft bristled hand brush.

then its a case of getting down on your hands and knees and gently agitating the carpet by hand.  I know it doesnt look great but my sebo duo nearly killed one of these the first time I did it (luckily I tested on a spare bit first) and ever since i charge accordingly.

I tell the customers that it has to be done by hand and it will take longer.  Extract with hot water and the results are pretty good.

Why not use a plastic one filled with water, guaranteed no damage   

[Bob Allen]

... until the stopper comes loose, then you've got a flood extraction job on your hands!!!

[Claude Fenner]

If you have done the same job as you always do then there's no point worrying worry. Do you think it can be rectified by using hot steam say from a powerful truck mount or has the pile actually untwisted? From the photo it looks like some of the pile has risen and some not.

Any feed back from Shaun re visit

[Phil @ Extreme Clean]

Not been yet Len the customer has been away but they rang me yesterday asking if someone was going cause it's a mess so i phoned DF and Shaun is Coming Monday after dinner so i will let you know his view but personally i think i will have to replace even if he thinks its the carpet, it still wasn't like that before i started so no getting out of it
