Chemspec vs restaurant carpet
« on: September 25, 2013, 06:44:23 pm »
Thought i would share today's job with you all...

Indian restaurant with a red synthetic carpet, lots of greasy food spillages and black traffic lanes around where the tables were.
Pre sprayed tap hot Enzall and also used some powerburst i had left over to spot the bad areas, anyway i decided to use one of the zebra pads supplied my Restormate...
At this stage the carpet began to look much better...  ;)

This pad is excellent and provided just the right amount of agitation, previous visits i had been using a shampoo brush and it seemed to take forever.

After a good 15 mins i extracted using my Enforcer with the V2 fitted, added some Chemspec F90 to the tank for good measure, with steady slow strokes the soils and grease lifted with no problems, finally i chucked a couple if litres of releaseit DS2 into my rotary and with a thick microfibre bonnet i padded the carpet.
Without a doubt using  a small amount of Releaseit further brightened the carpet and bonneting helped to dry it....

This carpet gets cleaned every 3 months and today it looked fantastic

Hey, John Kelly recommended these saying everyone is raving about them who have used them.  I ordered some, haven't used them, but will be soon.  Videos are great mate. Well done.

Cheers Darren

I would recommend these pads to anyone who carries out encapping or agitating pre sprays, the videos dont actually show the results that well but all i can say is the carpet actually started to look really good during the agitation stage.

You don't need to go as agressive as a green nylon floor pad. A light colour like white/red/tan or a carpet specific agitation pad would be better.

It's worth trying some Chemspec enzyme carpet shampoo on restaurant carpets.

On wool rinsing is required because of the digestion but on synthetics it can save a lot of time.
