Hi Chaps,
Went to do a quote today and the lady has 3 rooms she wants cleaning but they are all sea grass. I use a extraction machine so assume it will be a non starter? Can you advise the best way to clean seagrass carpets if any don't want to lose the job but may have no choice. She told me she has already phoned around and has been told they wouldn't do it
Thanks
Rich

you need a host machine to rub the dry compound into the carpet ,but results are not normally very good in my opinion .Leave well alone

Went to do a job few weeks ago - 2 flights of stairs, one landing and 2 bedrooms in this stuff.

The only carpet I did was the one in the attic - too hot!

What sort of condition is the carpet in?  If it's OK, then a dry compound clean preceded with a fine mist of microsplitter may well come up trumps.

When filthy, I have extracted these before but to be honest if you were going to attempt it, a twin vac porty is out of the question.  You need much better vac performance, like a triple vac machine or a truckmount, both run with the pump turned right down so you get a high vac to water ratio.

Obviously not in the training manual, but works if you know what you're doing.

I extracted a sisal carpet once without realising what it was.  Never did it any harm, looked beautiful when it was finished and I've extracted it twice since

There's a guy in Scotland that uses his drycleaning machine and hot solvent cleans them at a cost.
