I believe thats the technical name of the smoothe cotton with a pattern on it.  Was asked to clean one today and it turned out like crap.  Whats the magic touch on this. 


I just used my stair/uph tool that came with my machine at 300 psi.  I run a dry slurry through my system. 




ps remember take it easy on me I only been around for a few months.  Trying to learn from the masters.

Did you prespray it? Try a little agitation on your prespray with a soft brush

A horse hair brush and shampoo can make a difference, still a pain to clean

What type of prespray do you recommend? 

During my call backs today I talked to her and she was happy.  Said it dried quickly and had no complaints.  Guess they look better after drying than when still damp.

That maybe so depending on the jet size. If it is suitable for upholstery the jet is too small for carpet and vise versa. There is a world of difference between a stair tool and an upholstery tool.

Polished, sort of shiny cotton? Sounds like you're talking about Chintz. That stuff often looks way better after it dries.

The reason the air and solution control is there is for upholstery cleaning not stair cleaning. Go buy a frigin stair tool?
