Professional Carpet Cleaning Guide – Very Low Maintenance (VLM) Carpets Equipment Required: Slow-speed rotary floor cleaner or orbital machine, and an agitation/zebra pad.
Step 1: Prepare Pre-Spray Solution
Mix High Power VLM Pre-Spray at 15ml 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 and deodorise the carpet.
Step 3: Mechanical Agitation
Spray your pad with High Power VLM Pre-Spray.
Make slow, overlapping passes using your rotary or orbital machine over the pre-sprayed area.
Tip: This step not only deodorises the carpet but also applies a protective film to help prevent re-soiling.
Step 4: 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
