Professional Carpet Cleaning Guide – Dealing with Heavy Grease Contamination

Important Note:

When treating carpets contaminated with grease or oily residues, multiple applications of pre-spray and repeated mechanical scrubbing may be required prior to rinse extraction. Always assess the level of soiling before proceeding.

Step 1: Prepare the Pre-Spray Solution

• Mix WS Upholstery & Fine Fabric Pre-Spray at a ratio of 250ml per litre of water.

Step 2: Apply the Pre-Spray

• Apply a heavy, even coat of the mixed WS Upholstery & Fine Fabric Pre-Spray to the carpet surface using overlapping passes to ensure complete coverage.

• Allow the pre-spray to dwell for approximately 15 minutes to break down grease, oil, and embedded soils.

Tip:
Avoid allowing the pre-spray to dry during dwell time. Lightly mist additional solution if required to maintain dampness.

Step 3: Agitation

• After dwell time, use mechanical scrubbing equipment such as a counter-rotating brush (CRB) or rotary machine to thoroughly agitate the carpet fibres.

• For severe grease build-up, apply additional pre-spray and repeat the scrubbing process until the contamination is adequately loosened.

Step 4: Rinse Extraction

• Prepare your rinse solution by mixing WS Stain Repel Rinse at a ratio of 30ml per 10 litres of clean water in the extraction machine’s solution tank.

• Proceed to rinse extract the carpet, ensuring all residues and contaminants are removed.

• Use slow, even passes to prevent over-wetting and promote thorough rinsing.

Step 5: Finishing and Drying

• Once extraction is complete, groom the carpet pile to restore texture and appearance.
