I like the no frills straight to the point video.

[@InsaneOil]

I also like to keep things to the point

[@GT3.6]

Very informative video. I like how you broke it all down by price. I’ve been looking for this stuff myself and I’ve found the diy kits are $200+

Did you connected to a hot water source? Appreciate your input 👌 Ty

[@InsaneOil]

I did not, but it could easily be done.

Great video! Thank you for posting this.

[@InsaneOil]

Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated.

Is that a grateful dead song?

How do you dry the hose? For those without an air compressor. Can drain the water easy enough but don't want mildew or anything inside the hose.

[@InsaneOil]

I disconnect the hose, drain out as much as I can and then let it air dry. If you don't have a air compressor, you could always run the shop vac and have it pull air through the hoses.

As a professional carpet cleaner there’s a couple things that doesn’t make me feel warm. -for proper sanitisation and better drying a hot water extraction is always preferred to kill any odour causing bacteria’s and any germs that otherwise would continue to thrive -carpet will for the most part want to stay inside a certain ph to keep it from feeling “crunchy” per se and also to stop some colours from bleeding, using an alkaline cleaner and not following through with an acid to neutralise the fibres can backfire -depending on the fibres different water pressure will be desired to prevent cellulosic browning and without a pressure regulator this just isn’t a viable option I’m not here to say this isn’t a great way to also get a clean out of upholstery and carpet but in the things I’ve mentioned it may be wise to do a little research and see what will fit your scope of work the best.

I agree with you that this machine does not meet the specs of an "actual" professional machine. Rather, it is a more affordable alternative for a home owner to clean their vehicle without having to spend a lot of money or take it to a professional.

Could you use this to clean a Persian rug?

[@InsaneOil]

If the rug is expensive, I would recommend taking it to a professional. If the rug is not expensive, yes it could be used to clean it.
