SYNTHETIC LOW MOISTURE CLEANING FOR RESTORATION GUIDE

Professional Carpet Cleaning Guide – Extreme Soiling on VLM or High-Performance Carpets

Equipment Required: Slow-speed rotary floor cleaner or orbital machine, agitation/zebra pad, and a microfibre bonnet.

Step 1: Prepare Pre-Spray Solution

• Mix High Performance Pre-Spray at 120ml per litre of water.

Step 2: Apply Pre-Spray

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

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

Step 3: Prepare Pad for Agitation

• Spray your pad with High Power WS Neutraliser (Acidic Rinse) at 120ml per litre, or soak the pad in a bucket mixture of the same solution.

Step 4: Mechanical Agitation

• Make slow, overlapping passes using your rotary or orbital machine over the pre-sprayed area.

• Use a shower feed tank to apply additional High Power WS Neutraliser (Acidic Rinse) as needed, allowing continuous cleaning without re-dipping the pad.

Step 5: Microfibre Bonnet Drying

• Follow up with a dry microfibre bonnet to remove excess dirt and moisture.

• Make slow, overlapping passes for a uniform finish.

Step 6: Chewing Gum Removal (Optional)

• For chewing gum, mix High Power VLM Pre-Spray at 50:50 (1 litre per 1 litre water).

• Apply as a spot treatment and gently lift the gum from underneath.

Note: The gum will release easily without the need for harsh solvents.
