I never run a "slurry" - mixture of cleaner and water through my machine in the cleaning/rinsing process. I always try to get the job done with as little moisture as possible - but not cutting any corners either. Try to never soak the carpeting - it will get down past the carpet into the insulation below and it is harder to remove when its that deep. You have to decide when to stop by looking at how the carpet looks, and how dry it is. The more you pull up and out, the more dirt comes with it. This will also tell you when there is little to no moisture coming up through the tool. You can feel the top of the metal tool get cooler as the extracted water is pulled out of carpet. I use the TuffShine Tire Cleaning brush which is the perfect size and shape for most everything, and brush the lightly sprayed product in, go turn on the Extractor, key it up to make sure its spraying hot water, and spray and extract. I will then spray the APC+ and/or 303 product on the carpeted area/s, and perhaps a little more on any stains. My method is to really vacuum the carpets/mats a long time to get as much embedded dirt out while it is dry and hopefully easy to pull out. I use CHEMSPEC Biodegradable Crystal DeFoamer powder just a little in the tanks, mixed with water, and have never had foaming issues. It is very low foaming, cleans very well, rinses easily, and leaves a nice clean scent.Īnother very good carpet cleaner, stain remover is 303 Cleaner & Spot Remover for Carpet/Upholstery. Women with spills and stains from kids in the seats.ĭo you use a antifoam spray in your recovery tank? Ill be using straight water in my machine, but most probably pretreat.Īlso any advice you guys can give me on carpet cleaners or pretreatments etc.I like to use Meguiars APC+ for carpet or cloth seat cleaning. People cutting grass for a living and having embedded dirt in the seating.
Ive had some guys and girls come in with cloth seats. I frequently find carpets that were shampooed and not even rinsed well, so the Extractor is much better at eliminating all that extra dirty soap embedded in there too.Ĭongratulations on your future purchase ! Hope it all works out for you !ĭan FYeah, that was mainly the reason I got it. Nothing like a "clean smell" inside a vehicle that only comes from getting as much dirt out as possible. Just getting as much embedded dirt out of carpets as possible totally changes the way a vehicle looks and smells. It is that good at pulling dirt out of carpets.Īnd another thing it does extremely well is to extract cloth covered seats, if you get those occasionally. I have NEVER seen anything but dark brown to black water when I drain my Recovery Tank.
The motor on my HP60 is also the 3-stage. There are lots of Extractors out there, and I found this particular model to be the best fit for my needs. When I went out to buy an Extractor, the biggest concerns I had were the ability to do great work quickly and thoroughly, and reliability. Tools for the machine, I am assuming you will want a carpeting tool and another one to get between the seats and the console, etc., are going to be a couple hundred bucks extra, I think.
If you live in CA, the Mytee company is in SoCal. I also have a Mytee (HP60 Spyder) for over 5 years and it has totally changed the way carpets/carpeted mats, big rubber trunk mats, etc., come clean so much better and easier for my Shop.Īll of the motors in the machine are easily accessible, and in all the years I have been hammering this machine, it has never failed me. Higher water lift will always be better than lower water lift. Higher pressure will always work better in this scenario that lower pressure. Hot water will always clean better/easier than cold water.
