hey guys
been reading alot of things around here and very informative stuff. was wondering when you go to a house that has alot of black filtration along all the walls what do you do? i know sometimes it comes out but if you get to close to the wall you damage the baseboards. do you get on your hands and knees to clean it,,, or is there a good chem which will take this out?
i have tried filter out but that just ends up foaming and i lose vacuum power
or do you simply tell the custy IT WONT ALL COME OUT
just wondering anyone else have any tricks of the trade to tell eachother which would help in the long run?

A good fsr and some agitation will usually lighten it. Charge extra. It's labour intense -------------

If it's a light color carpet forget it, it might lighten a bit, otherwise I agree with Cmaster. ------------- Could somebody just clean my carpets! |

check to see how tight the carpet is. if possible restretch it out you usually only need a inch or so. forget the scrubbing and all tha manual bs and just get rid of it once and for all. ------------- Just My opinion |

| I've had success with filtration lines with a prespray of Traffic Slam and Citrusolve. Sometimes they won't come out all the way, but they look alot better. Either way it takes a lot of extra agitation and they're a real pia. |

You tell the customer the guy who put down the carpet didn't put a large enough quarter round , sell her an 1&1/2 inch quarter round and charge for installation...................you guys will never make money , it's not all about carpet cleaning...................it's about being creatiive

That's very creative. In a couple of years you can nail more quarter round on top of that cuz the lines will come back along the new edge -------------

unless you properly seal the air spaces it will continue. After all it is air movement that is creating the filtration lines in the first place. may moons ago people would shut doors in parts of the house they did not want to heat. In the spring if the carpet was a light colour they would have a filtratiion line under the door. there would also be lines under the closet doors. That to me is a selling point of carpet. If the carpet was not filtering all those contaminates out of the air you would be breathing them in. Your carpet must be cleaned to remove all thos contaminates to make your home healther. If you had hardwood or laminates you would already have all that black in you and your child's lungs. so what is more healther?? I myself don't waste time on filtration lines ?? ------------- Just My opinion |
