Hi Carpet cleaning Gurus out there.... good customer whose upholstery I have cleaned and just viewed nxt stuff on ground floor also asked me about her carpet. Its  a light backgound Axy look, but deffo B/W.. I have had a bad experience in the past with one of these and certainly dont intend to use my T/M hwe to clean the lounge and stairs to 1st floor.
Have advised carpet may pull on edges whatever way its cleaned . I have texatherm gear, but im thinking this may even put down too much moisture?
Whats the foolproof way to clean ,and not claim on my insurance .... Thanks Simon

check all edges  are well fitted to gripper rods and you should be fine we clean a lot of these as they are quiet common we always hwe them followed by turbo dryers also check if there is a join as these can pull
away if not a good join.

Thanks for your reply, have you had any shrink on you...and if gripper not good, do you walk away... Ive had well fixed gripper pull out, and then impossible for fitter to r-e stretch back on. do you prespay and agitate, and interested on type of machine you use for extraction. Thanks Simon.

Its a no brainer...walk away. Why put yourself under pressure.

How bad is it? Bonneting can give results.

I just use the truckmount, turn the heat up really high, turn down the pressure and use good wand technique. I also use the wand to dry vac all the clean areas and only wet clean the traffic lanes which need it.

 Belgian Wilton’s can be a risk but I haven’t shrunk one on 20 yrs and the only one I have  relaxed and strtched 4 days later.  I could walk away from them but how does at help the customers? It might be a BW but to the customer  it still needs cleaning

If you have Texatherm system then that’s ideal
Lightly prespray advanced cleaner in 2 or 3 mt sections  then bonnet using neutraliser  and then turbo dry

Should come up great
