MUSTY SMELL

the best way to remove musty smell is using an air purifier and opening windows.

what the heck was your psi? Musty smell after a day? Pre existing condition comes to mind. Mold takes a few days.

and always remember to bring toilet paper in the van as some apartments don't have any.... lessons learned...

    yes, what that dude said is true. simply do not work for friends, unless they are paying you . I disagee with his solution since it happened to me.

you over wet and didn[t suck up enough so the pad got wet and stinky.

don't put any more liquid in there. get some fans and go borrow a dehumidfier. the fans will wick up the water from down below and the dehum will wring the water out of the air.

prob. three days dry time till no smell.

in the future, if you got a weak portable, bring a roto with bonnets
this will take more water outta the rug and dry it faster

Something else you can do it heat your water in a 5 gallon bucket first.

get a 1000 watt submersible heater.

put your prespray down and roto scrub the prespray into the rugs. this will loosen up the soil, the hot water will make it come cleaner, with less moisture, follow up with bonnet and roto , use fans. if you can afford an rx20 roto scrubber you can put a pad driver and pad on that and scrub and dry with the rx20 but do not clean with the rx and a portable.
the unit puts out too much water for a 100 psi (typical in portables)
machine to suck up much.

If you dont have it yet, get insurance.

someday you'll need to make a claim.

best,

two thumbs up on this post..

I think Hammy has a secret crush on Chris.

 Your right! Unfortunately I was in a market for many years that was full of ignorant cleaners. However I have to take offence when someone gives advice on how to answer the telephone.
