There are many advantages to the SETT method and rarely needing to put the blocks under furniture is one of them.

Thank you, when you know, you know. I use stabilized CLo2 and saturate the area feeding it from the Rotary. I allow it to dwell for at least 15 minutes and then either extract with my portable or use dry pads. I have never had a call back when dealing with urine this way, but I do not run into this problem too often. I use bulk stabilized Clo2 I purchase from beckart.com

Knowing the fibre type is rarely important as the majority of broadloom carpet is synthetic anyway. Occasionally we will come across wool carpet but most of the modern products we clean with are neutral or close and are safe on wool anyway but be sure of the product you use and its ph rating and be careful with peroxide on wool. The greater concern is for area rugs as they can be wool or cotton or viscose or blends that can be problematic. If you are unsure how to identify a wool broadloom one thing you can do is go to a carpet store and take a look at one and if possible even take a Sample to refer to. Wool carpets will usually shed and will have a distinctive wet sheep smell when wet and if you do a burn test will have an ash that remains rather than melt.

Yes, thank you.

I think you are correct.

I use them more than any other fibre pad, they are very good.

RotoSETT makes it easy!

Thanks for sharing!!

The ph is 10.1

I put a stainless bolt through the tank making sure it was a tight fit so it will not leak and the light has a mounting bracket the bolt attaches to.

This light is different than the other lights I have used in the past but today I put a frosted lens over it so hopefully it will tone down some of the glare.

I used the Multibrush for a few years over 20 years ago and used them a lot and while they certainly work there are some things to consider. The Multibrush is intended for use on commercial carpet and the brushes are quite stiff and some residential carpet will not tolerate this. The bristles will tend to collect and hold fibres and dirt and are very hard to clean and if you go from one job to another without cleaning the bristles they can transfer the soil into the next job and stain the carpet of it is a lighter one. I determined that the Multibrush was not worth the hassle of cleaning it and replaced them with fibre]pads and found they work better, are very inexpensive and are easy to clean or just replace as needed. I will occasionally use a brush but I have a soft bristle brush rather than a stiff one but for me the Multibrush is not something I consider as a viable option.

They are out there though and we have to deal with these things sometimes.

Yes, sometimes we have to fold'em and walk away.

What I find works quite well is to boil water and you it slowly on the wax and use a wet vac to suck it up as it melts.

@@OxyDryCarpetCleaningKelowna thank you so much! I do have a steamer but I was worried about using a vacuum to suck it out, but that sounds like what I'll do!

@@mcguycurtdome2569 The steamer would work but would be very slow.

Thank you, I did try the Dirt Nappers years ago and decided they were just not right for me.

I have a few pad drivers and most of them have the Malish Instaloc grip which is similar to the Centaur pad driver. I have never had an issue with pad drivers on a rotary messing up the pads and I have never had the spikes penetrate through so I do not think it is a concern.

Boiling water and a towel or suction

Yes, this carpet was dirty, but cleaned very well with the ULM/SETT method.

Thank you, I am glad you enjoy them.

Shark seems to make good quality vacuums, I do recommend them to my customers.

The newest Shark Powerdetect is a monster. It has 1400 watts. My Hushtone 13inch has been sitting in my car for a couple days now since picking it up from home Depot. I need to go to the mall one of these days, we have an outlet somewhere I can use. I'm homeless right now because of a restraining order. My car is super dirty I'm thinking about starting a carpet cleaning business or a car detailing one. I make money doing doordash and instacart in LA lol... I hope the Hushtone will be strong at the hose too since I intend to use it to clean my car. I bought a gym mat and am going to put the car's floor mats on the floor and vaccume it like that with the Hushtone. Hopefully it works well. Oxy you live in Canada right?​@@OxyDryCarpetCleaningKelowna

@@OxyDryCarpetCleaningKelowna as a matter of fact I think I deserve some compensation for how much I recommend shark products 😂😂

Yes. so easy with the SETT method.

I always pre vacuum as it is the proper procedure to correct carpet cleaning. I ask people to move ornaments and breakables, plants and smaller items. I tell them to leave the bigger items such as couches where they normally sit. I move them if needed or asked as long as it is safe to do so and I normally do not move beds but in some cases I will. We only charge for the area cleaned so if a bed is not moved the area under it is not charged for as we charge by the sq ft.

Thank you.

I second this question! 💪

I keep them wet till I am ready to wash them and I have a front load washer and I use Procyon in the machine

You’ve created a warm environment where we can all learn from each other. It’s a good group of individuals that have a passion for excellence. The group and your channel opened my eyes to a lot of new things that I was not aware of. Keep learning and growing as always!🙏👍

@@bmcarpetcleaningandfloorca4410 We do this together and together we all succeed.

VonSchrader.com. But they may be out of business now

Thank you, it’s a delight to use.

@@OxyDryCarpetCleaningKelowna it looks like it lol!

Yes, either one is a good option in some instances

The focus and intent of this channel is to educate and inform and even entertain carpet cleaners or those who want to be carpet cleaners. I am not interested in growing the numbers simply for the sake of numbers.Those who benefit from this content will find it and will tell other likeminded people to come and watch.

Knowing the history is interesting and give perspective on where we are today.

It is amazing to think this is how it all began and we have certainly improved so much in chemistry, pad choices and technique. We are no longer "bonnet" cleaning, now it is the SETT method.

thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it

Definitely, we want the moisture on the carpet to be drawn into the pad through capillary action and the agitation of the pad and wet is drawn toward the dry.

You are welcome, I expect most of the new guys do not know some of the history so I was glad to be able to share this and it adds context to where we are today. The other reason I wanted to do this is to show how primitive the beginnings were with the clumsy bucket dunk method and its inability to precisely control the amount of solution used and how it contrasts with what we are doing now. I still have never heard anyone explain where the term "bonnet" came from to describe the mop, but I guess it is at least better than calling it a "mop". If a new term to describe the mop had not been created perhaps today it would be called Rotary mop cleaning!

@@OxyDryCarpetCleaningKelowna LOL! ya, that does sound bad, Rotary mop cleaning. SETT does have a more "professional" ring to it!

@@ProCleanersCarpetCleaning Indeed!
