Restaurant carpet suggestions.

[steamron]

I've been doing this carpet for year's, sad part is that they always wait way to long between cleanings.

This carpet was installed during the height of COVID. It's in a brewery/restaurant. The last time I did the restaurant part of this place I posted questions, I thought Cimexing would work, didn't really budge it. I tried cranking up the prespray and pressure. I had a little movement or luck, but it would have taken tons of time and water.

What worked was a 175 machine scrubbing at the same time we were applying prespray (enzyme, not regular prespray). We were using a lot, had to soak the area while scrubbing. Then extracted with the zipper wand.

I need to go at it again and I don't want to bust my ass.
Here is a pic of a walkway into the restroom. The pics don't truly show the extent of it.
I was thinking maybe using the Cimex with more aggressive pads and put the prespray in the tank. I have to find the pads.

Suggestions please,

A worn green pad/ 175 eats the gunk right up

It’s the way to do it with the Cimex. UPE or similar in the tank with gray pads. Extract. That would be the Desk Jockey, Chevaz way.

Go to excellent-supply.com and go to their videos. I believe there’s a video there that describes cleaning restaurant carpets with a Cimex. If you can’t find the video, just call them. They have a two part process, if my memory serves. Two different chemicals. I do remember using it once and was shocked at how well it worked! I have a restaurant that is in the waning days of the life of its carpets. I’ve just started having problems with cleaning it. I think I’ll try the Excellent Supply process on it followed by extraction.

Holy Cow! I mean pig!

Try Citrazov by Harvard. Scrub in with the Cimex, extract with the Zipper. Citrazov is a high pH product with enzymes and oxy. Designed for greasy soil.

Sometimes there are customers you let go for someone else to worry about

I thought Saiger said dont mix enzymes with oxy?

 

[hogjowl]

I’ve always heard that too but there’s several idiots on the Soap Daddy page that swear by it. I still don’t do it because they’re idiots.

Looks normal to me . Citri solve and some hot water .

There's a difference between synthetic enzymes and live bacteria that generates enzymes. There are several products on the market with oxy and synthetic enzymes. All high pH presprays.

500,

500,

Next time go to 650-700. Don’t worry about damaging the carpet. There’s no pad underneath and it needs more pressure to remove that crap. I think water pressure is part of the A in TACT

I agree; I had one like this. We set the price and the frequency of cleaning. After a while, they try to find excuses for not staying on schedule. I let it slide once, but when it happened a few times later, it became apparent that they don't take their carpet maintenance seriously, so I let them go.

We just cleaned a restaurant and I did a HWE/VLM combo. During the first step of HWE I was experimenting with different high PH presprays and the results were actually amazing. Prochem Ultra Pac Extreme agitated with a worn blue pad cut through everything like warm butter. There were products that I tried that wouldn't even make a dent in the grease. I followed up with Excellent Supply Encap Punch. No wicking, carpet looked like new.

Well considering Saigers code red has powdered 02 and enzymes,

Im guessing he meant liquid peroxide and Enzymes the difference is pH powdered and liquid two different beast.
