JohnL, what are you talking about pre spray for, there was no pre spray, just Tide in a 10 gallon extractor with softener and I cleaned the carpet, end of story. It's not complicated.

My mother (back in the day when we had wooven cotton carpet) would get down with a bucket of laundry detergent in water and a scrub brush to clean our carpet. Now the extractor is replacing my mother and her brush, but little has changed really in the past 60 years. Well, no phosphates due to algae bloom and it was powered laundry detergent in those days, but nope --- nothing has changed.
It should work. I would possibly try it on wool with woolite -- maybe! |

Prevac then you should always prespay to loosen
up (emulsify) the dryed in soils before extraction rinse..
And maybe some aggitation on the heavy soiled areas..
You can do it your way its a free Country but it wont
be AS CLEAN... Edited by John L - 05/October/2009 at 11:56am |

Oh alright JohnL, I understand now. This was an extremely dirty, grease filled restaurant carpet, every greek sause imaginable was ground into the fibres.When I arrived the busboys were sweeping up rice, chicken pieces, tooth picks, broken glass, name it and they were sweeping it. Then they moved all the tables and chairs to one side and I started to clean. Actually, you can say that I prespray because I tilt the machine up and make a wet pass then pull back with pump on and extract. My grandmother used to hang her carpet over the railing and beat the crap out of it, then hose it down and leave it there for 3 days to dry. That's only like 15 years ago.

Going to have to change the name of this forum to the Hack Board.
I have fired subs who use Tide for years.
Really easy to tell, the traffic lanes turn a unique colour of brown after a month.
If you are cleaning a hack carpet that is one thing, but a customer's expensive broadloom will be ruined.
Why do you think there is an old wive's tale about not cleaning a carpet until you have to???
Give your head a shake guys.
Residues, pH, changing the colourfastness to light and oxides of nitrogen are all major components of making a good carpet cleaning chemical.
Or go follow the Pied Piper of Hackness.

Also will be trying some other laundry products, trying to accomplish some other results.

I cleaned my wall to wall in the basement over the week-end, beige with rose prints. With underpadding and cleaned only once before in 3 years. Around pool table was a mess, looks beautiful now, same for in front of sofas, and fireplace. If you want to believe all the Non Science behind carpet products, go ahead, it's your money. I choose Tide, because it does a great job and it saves me money

That's great Mr. Slide, I'm sure your results will be the same as mine.
Lilniteridrhood, if I would clean an expensive broadloom with tide and the colour is Brown, what shade of brown will it turn after 1 month

JohnL, do you believe everything you see in a pic, I never used Tide before I read on here from nightrider that tide works, I tried it and for sure it works, why would I lie about that. If you want to see results, invest 5$ in a bottle of Tide and try it yourself, and you post some pics for us

Guess by the sound of things here that Ted will be dumping his supply of "Hide" and replaceing it with "Tide". Stranger things have happened right?

I tried tide yesterday, 20 litre pail of hot water, half a capfull of tide, used 5 litres as a prespray the rest went into the porty. Cleaned a section of my basement behind the bar and entrance hallway comming from garage. I am both surprised and impressed, thought you guys were fooling at first, this stuff is great . Going to finish up the chems I have from my supplier and go with the tide. It's tough out there to make money with carpet cleaning, with the high prices of chemicals and gas, tide is the way to go for me
