Carpet brownout correction

Removing oxidized soap residue from carpet that has turned brown. This condition is called BROWNOUT. People often mistake this condition as a dirty carpet.

Mr. Higens was very nice and warm. I contacted him after watching his video and dispite me being in a different state he gave his honest opinion and provided suggestions. He was patient and kind and his passion for helping others was truly displayed during our conversation. Thank you so much. I would certainly recommend his services

Thank you Yanique for leaving such a nice comment. I hope your problem has been resolved.

[@berley1083]

thank you so much i was totally loosing my *** trying to clean my rug on the boat and the browning - you saved me !!!

[@pbakai182]

This was a REALLY good video demonstrating a REAL problem in a REAL home with REAL browning... The analogy of the apple vs carpet browning was very helpful too in order to help others understand the issue. I had a question: I'm finding it difficult to find a manufacturer/distributor near me that sells a product meant to neutralize carpet. Can I purchase a powder pH reducer meant for residential pools and make my own extraction/spray bottle solution for my last step? If so, would you just suggest mixing it in distilled water, or would you suggest adding anything else? Also, muriatic acid or sodium bisulphate? Thank you!!

[@howardredder3582]

In this video are you spraying something simulsr to vinegar with a ph of 2.....and then extracting on the backwards stroke? Does it really happen that fast? It doesnt have to sit on carpet for awhile first?

[@genakomrada8038]

Thanks for this info. Treated it yesterday and it got better but still there. Do you have to treat it more than once?

[@galvinSPORTS911]

Thank you Higgins. I think I used much too heavy of a solution to clean some heavily soiled floor mats in my mom’s Camry. She noted and complained of a much too dark carpets as if I “spread the dirt” however I knew I removed all of the dirt and stains. The light tan carpet oxidized to a dark brown! Trying this today

[@Embrxceyourdemons]

Did it work?

[@musafirpandir2740]

Hi Mr. Higens, can this logic be applied to my oxidized blue color carpet problem? I use the Sour Neutralizer but I dont think the color turned to its original color. How much do you mix vinegar (a-5% concentration?) with water? Appreciate your response. Best, Fadhil from Indonesia

[@melenelewis2955]

What is the carpet made of please.,..,is it natural fibre ? And how do you test the pH on the carpet please

[@MrRbazaar2]

Thanks for helping me out today, will update you on the final results.😅

[@rimasl.5645]

used on nylon carpet same discoloration, they looked good right after cleaning, set up air movers to dry faster, when they dry, looked the same discolored.

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Then there was still soap residue left in the carpet. Or old soap residue left over from a previous clean, perhaps?

[@benmukire4203]

what's the name of that machine he is using

[@221b-Maker-Street]

A professional extraction system - They cost a lot of money as they're usually hooked up to a compressor. They're not worth a domestic home buying one! But you might be able to hire one for a day, perhaps?

[@richardgordon245]

Like Magic..it is scary when you return to the job after the customer comes calling and you walk in can be overwhelming. ACTUALLY DID ON THIS WEEK .

[@MaryJane-HarleyHybrid]

Thank you!!!!

[@michaelneely4851]

Just a quick question. Is the carpet sitting on top of tile? If so, that's most likely the reason why you chemical is wicking up and browning out. Other then that great demo on taking care of brown out👍

[@TheBudgetYT]

Your carpet cleaning skills are better than your camera Skills!! 🤷‍♀️👍🏼

[@DragoChronicSmoker42]

This is what my rug keeps doing..only in certain spots though. So could you actually just use vinegar with water to remove the brown out of the carpet?

[@jo5712]

Mine too!! It’s brand new white carpet and I live in a rural area. Did you find a solution?

[@higenscarpetcleaning4388]

I have no idea what the yellow RX products. you can use and acidic all fiber rinse. are you a carpet cleaner?

[@alonzina999]

He did a good job, I'm going to try it.

[@AbeC116]

How do you get rid of the lines after cleaning the carpet?

[@higenscarpetcleaning4388]

lines in the carpet after cleaning can be an uneven clean, this can be caused by clogged spray jets on the cleaning wand. Lines can also be caused by improper cleaning technique. You can try re-cleaning and do more overlapping in your cleaning technique. There can be other causes as well. I hope this little tid bit of info is of some help to you. Thank you for your question.

[@nandosmith9927]

GREAT VIDEO!!!

[@mikehunt9597]

Well explained video job sorted happy customer

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Don't film your subject with the light behind him - filming 101! Your subject is in silhouette every time you point your camera at the window. Stand 'up wind' of him, over by the sofa.

[@robbiemorgan2591]

What rinse did you use?

[@higenscarpetcleaning4388]

robbie morgan Hi Robbie. I used an acidic Prince, a ProChem product. thank you for watching my video.

[@higenscarpetcleaning4388]

meant to say rince

[@robbiemorgan2591]

Did you use the Yellow Rx? I have a browning situation that I'm trying to correct. Thanks for your response. That carpet looked great after the rinse.

[@PabloDon27]

Fiber and fabric rinse?

[@higenscarpetcleaning4388]

If you are a home owner and are concerned about about your carpet then please go to my website at higenscarpetcleaning.com here you will find industry standards, or you can go to iicrc.org it is a good idea to know what procedures and products are be done and used on your carpet before you hire a cleaner.

[@jerryporter1194]

and by the way the carpet still looks like s*** the guy needs to go back to carpet cleaning school and figure out how to shampoo

[@PabloDon27]

shampoo lol you really think professional carpet cleaners shampoo, I bet you let someone rug doctor your carpets

[@221b-Maker-Street]

You seem nice. How deeply unhappy you must be; contented people don't leave such mean comments - get some help, 'Jerry' - you're not really angry about carpets are you, but something else...
