I've just ordered a replacement HWE portable (upgrading).
I've never used a magma heater before (or any form of rinse tank heating, apart from hot tap water).

Does 'steam cleaning' make much of an improvement with soil extraction/stain removal (on carpets)?

Hi Dave,
Heat makes a huge difference, especially when cleaning very dirty or stained carpets.

Very nice

No such thing as "steam cleaning" David. You mean hot water extraction

And as Simon says, yes, heat makes a difference, as you're about to find out.

I'm sure that Neil from barnsley has some videos on fb of him using a magma heater.

Hi David

In my experience hot tap water is enough for most domestic jobs but on pub jobs with blacktop we always get the the water as hot as possible to produce steam and it makes a massive difference.

Hi Rog,

Absolutely great thanks - Dave Altomstone also managed to flush out the 'dye bleed' that I'd caused on my earlier attempt at cleaning it (HWE).  It's surprising, with the right attitude, and knowledge, how much you can achieve in this area (rugs).  The rug was on its way to the skip, but Sue's now put it back in the dining room :-)

I definitely owe Dave a favour.

[Doctor Carpet (Ret'd)]

Really pleased to hear that.

It must have given you great confidence for when you are now cleaning other clients rugs in the future.

I have the same set up David and yes Magma does make a difference, as Adrian says its HWE though not "Steam" still can get pretty hot, must get round to making some video's.

Steam makes a massive difference to pub/resturant carpet i find.
The cleaning results can be the same but the dirt i find is removed alot faster.

The video below is from a resturant with thick blacktop in places, put the steam on and it started to come off very quickly.

Only down fall is that in domestic job you will get very hot very fast so bring spare shirts and baby wipes 
nothin worse than going to next job stinking lol

Wow... I've never marketed to pubs and restaurants before - I will now 

[davep]

I have been rinsing with cold water for the last 7 months. Not had any problems at all or missed the heat.

Saying that I've done no greasy restaurants.

Dave here's some photos completed using a magma .

If you up your prices and don't do commercial you shouldn't need one but it does speed jobs up

[davep]

I had lots of heat for 5 years but still don't notice any difference in the clean.

[Simon Gerrard]

Time to go to Specsavers, Dave.

Simon ... Dave is now in the 21st century... unlike some dinosaurs on here..
