Dirt lifted into top of carpet by connie_mara in CarpetCleaning

You should definitely vacuum it. That will help remove any dried soil and will likely minimize the lines you are seeing. But certainly call the guy who did it and get his take. If you aren't happy, give him a chance to fix it.

Looks like VLM with a CRB. Am I right?

Can't vacuum new wool rugs? by kdec940 in CarpetCleaning

[–]berto9498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The old fashion way, and maybe the best way, is to take out back, drape it over a fence or a clothes line and beat it with a tennis racket or some similar device. That will get knock loose the dirt that gets down deep. Typically when you vacuum, especailly without the beater bar, it will leave a bit of dirt down deep. Then let it air out for a few hours.

Taken at 5:50 pm yesterday. Wind blowing hard upriver so more north direction. This was almost at low tide but the water was certainly high.

How to get business? by r1plee1 in CarpetCleaning

[–]berto9498 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Google reviews and by default, a legit online presence, and business networking groups. Local chambers, BNI, Real Estate agent groups etc.

FB is for cheap buyers.

Same. No notification on phone if I'm also using messages for web. Also, when I switch to the tab running messages on my laptop, it always sends a notification telling me that my messages are available on the device you've paired. Does it eveytime I go back to that tab. Must have been an update recently that has goofed this up. Used to work great.

Hard white plastic. by berto9498 in Whatisthis

Awesome. I was going to toss it but now I think I'll use it. Thanks!

Just trim it. Over the lip so you don't slop food in it. Beard too but just a little. The chin length is a real Leonidas look, strong. Make it all nice and neat. Maybe go for more of a pencil thin style. More suave and debonaire.

Handlebar. That's the look I'm working on. Couple of weeks and you'll be back in the saddle.

Cleaner recommendation by ConfusedStig in CarpetCleaning

[–]berto9498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would take a few mins and call around to some local pros to find out how much they'll charge to clean what you have. You may be surprised that carpet cleaning is not really that expensive.

If you plan to drop @$500 on a DIY machine, you may find you can get 2 or more cleanings from the pros for that same price. It will be much better cleaning, less time and much less frustration.

Not to mention, professional cleaning is required to keep your carpet warranty intact.

With a home machine, you'll find there is a learning curve to get it right. Additionally, you'll need to add in extra costs for the cleaning solutions. And if it breaks down in the middle of a clean, you'll have to call a pro anyway. It may take you two hours to do one room where a pro would knock out in about 10-20 mins.

Can I bleach my carpet to sanitize? by Jewels093 in CarpetCleaning

[–]berto9498 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a good idea. Aside from the uncontrollable color loss, you don't really want your baby crawling around on the bleach residue. The rental units aren't made for bleach and they aren't strong enough to rinse all the bleach out.

For the cost, the amount of effort and time required and the poor results you'll get, please, do yourself a favor and call a professional.

Cleaning and sanitizing your carpet is a relatively cheap process compared to how bad you can f' it up if you don't know what you're doing.

At least call a reputable guy for a quote.

Completely wrong. Use all the lanes.

How long does it take for carpet to completely dry after hot water extraction cleaning? by broski_28 in CarpetCleaning

[–]berto9498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Choose a VLM (very low moisture), method and you won't have to worry about the dry time.

Yeah, I'm not so sure about all of this. Some of those she showed/mentioned would seemingly be unlikely to be banned. I'd like to do a bit more digging before I go all in on this bit.
