SYNTHETIC CARPET WITH GLOSS PAINT GUIDE

Note: This is a rescue method. Mineral solvents may cause delamination of the carpet backing or remove glued-down tufts.


Step 1: Pre-Cleaning

  • Pre-vacuum or brush off the carpet to remove loose dirt and debris.


Step 2: Prepare Pre-Spray Solution

  • Mix High Performance Pre-Spray at 250ml per litre of water.


Step 3: Apply Pre-Spray

  • Apply a liberal amount of pre-spray using overlapping passes.

  • Allow the solution to dwell for 15 minutes, during which it will break down soils and residues.


Step 4: Agitation (Optional)

  • Brush the pre-spray into the carpet using manual or mechanical methods if required.

  • This step is not always necessary, but can help with heavily soiled areas.


Step 5: Rinse Extraction

  • Prepare your rinse solution by mixing High Performance Rinse at 30ml per 10 litres of clean water.

  • Rinse extract the carpet slowly and methodically using your cleaning wand.

Tip: For every wet pass, follow with at least two dry passes.
On polypropylene and polyester carpets, zig-zagging or “shark’s teeth” will not permanently disrupt the pile, but for a professional finish, maintain a uniform pass pattern.


Step 6: Spot Treatment

  • Any remaining stains can be treated using a Solvent Spotter – Stain Remover.


Step 7: Deodorisation

  • High Performance Pre-Spray does not deodorise.

  • For odour control, a premium deodoriser can be added to the rinse tank or lightly sprayed over the carpet after extraction.
