EASY DIY CARPET EXTRACTOR USING A SHOP VAC | RipClean Extractor Kit

[@rickyshaw3036]

Just a tip from a professional carpet and upholstery cleaner. Buy an internal jet upholstery tool. The external jet tool causes over wetting and you’ll get a lot of over spray. Where as with an internal jet all the water is enclosed inside the hand tool. Great video though man

[@OfficialXPage]

Can u send me a link please. To a great internal one. Was about to buy this one but I read your comment

[@kurlonemptage7457]

Can u help me not finding the tool

[@Mainbusfail]

Just to enhance the information you are providing Josh, what you are looking for when choosing a vac for extraction is the Water Lift spec - this is measured in Inches, the higher the value, the better results you will get when pulling from the surface whether smooth or carpet. CFMs are important, but in relation to the motors actual pulling power - focus on water lift. Hope this helps anyone out.

[@elic5355]

cfm and water lift do different things,cmf is basically how the vacuum allows your tool to grab the carpet/upholstery ,then the lift is the actual sucking up the water.

[@MelvinFernandez-dj1yy]

Any vacuum recommendations?

[@Mainbusfail]

yes, Advance is good, WAP/Alto works well. Stick with machines that have multi stage motors with bypass function. do not go with direct horsepower spec brands like rigid, shop vac etc.

[@Mainbusfail]

not really, cfm is volume of air based on area of suction squared to radius of the hose diameter. tool grab isn't even a term used in the real world.

[@elic5355]

@@Mainbusfail i was trying to make it simple. its totally different. i have had a extractor with 182 inches of lift and one with the same lift but 240 cfm. one is capable of about 15 feet of hose and one at about 200 feet. cfm allows the head of the tool pull/lock on/grab on fibers or fabric, then lift comes into play.

[@RobertN56]

Dude I seriously just bought the kit with the 50ft hose today, mainly to clean a dirty sofa and eventually with the cars, thanks for sharing a really good video...

[@Something2LookAt]

Really good info. You got me wanting to try this as a winter side hustle. I didn't know that the sprayer was just tap pressure. You make good videos!

[@imjoshv]

Thanks!

[@justintime4466]

Same, I thought it needed something more, and I also assumed that solution is injected and not just water. Now if I could make this a steam not just water, that would be great. Thanks @imjoshtv!

[@SpreadingKnowledgeVlogs]

Quick pro tip flip your Velcro’s over so they’re not fuzzy side out and picking up dirt left n right. Rubber bands are also a good option.

[@marshvelon569]

You can also comnect the waterline to your pressure washer via quick connect. Leave pressure washer off of course but use the running water from there. Just switch to pressure washer from there or vice versa

[@rafaelgonzalez2791]

Appreciate you mentioning the part of caring the proper filter I’ve been watching a lot of videos because I’ve been looking to get into the business and haven’t seen anyone be as detailed with tools on how to use and how to properly assemble for best use appreciate it 1000% keep up the videos

[@ctmautosalesllc1765]

josh you the man.. i have this on my list for a while now.. haven't made the purchase just waiting on your video review … thanks you so much for your help dude.. awesome content

[@imjoshv]

Glad I could help!

[@inejunta6569]

Tbh I just got a green scrub thing. A shop vac and two liters of water with laundry soap/bleach/dishsoap. And I soaked the interior and scrubbed then vacuumed it. It is like I used a steam cleaner. Perfectly clean no stain seats. I carefully filled the cup holders with water and scrubbed then sucked it up with the vaccum. Pretty impressed.

[@hipwaders55]

Hey Josh, kudos my detailing brother. 1/15/22 Home depot is running a web special on their 6 h.p. vacuum's and they are tossing in a car detail kit. i.e. hose crevice tool ect. Another thought on the water hook up, put an in line valve with a hose bib on the HOT side coming from your water heater...Bingo. If you have a sink in your garage or the hot water heater is parked in the back corner something real easy to pull off. Thanks again for the primo content

[@michaelstateler6081]

Can you attach the shop vac to a Mytee wand and just clean carpet with it?

[@audieconrad8995]

Josh, as a driveway detailer this attachment is exactly what I'm looking for! Fantastic video. Thank you. Shine on you crazy diamond!

[@dakotathompson9508]

I just made a system with this vac but with a full size carpet wand and my shower head for hot water. Works GREAT!

[@celindafuller8498]

What connector did you use from wet vac hose to the full size carpet wand? Did you get the kit he’s talking about? Does that connector fit on a full size wand?

[@Guineapalz]

I did buy the fitting to the shower head as well for hot water after seeing this comment thx 👍

[@cebasmb8250]

You forget one thing Josh! Get yourself a portable hot water tank connect it to the water in then connect that extractor solution hose to the portable hot water tank and Boom 💥 hot water.... I've been doing that for years gave that a try man!!!!

[@imjoshv]

Sweet ill check that out

[@Lance57H]

Which portable hot water tank do you use for this? I would be interested in getting one for my business.

[@wilfredogarcia6863]

where do you get one ?

[@JasonSantos-y1o]

Just curious what heater you’re talking about exactly, because I swear we can’t use hot water with this specific head attachment or I could be wrong

[@cebasmb8250]

@JasonSantos-y1o lol I won't do anything to the head. The only thing you need is a good solution hose that could handle hot water

[@wingnutbert9685]

Thanks for this. I'd use this for home carpet spot cleaning. FYI Suggestion: For your tank set-up you mentioned, and having not much pressure/flow. Perhaps try to parasite some of the shop vac exhaust air with hose. Run this into the top/lid of your tank. You'll want to play with air flow and/or some sort of vent on the tank so you don't have excess pressure build up and blow up your tank. Maybe a petcock pressure valve that vents at an appropriate psi. Or look into an rv water line pressure tank. They likely have a built in pressure release.

[@noradaly1]

Thank you 😊 much appreciated advice

[@Biggz1001]

What if u don’t want water ? I got a good steamer and spray method I just want get it up faster with a wider suction ?

Is it possible to hook it up to a pressure washer? If it's too much pressure, do you think it will work with it off?

[@Z_question]

For twenty dollars you can get a windshield wiper sprayer kit. It comes with a 1gal water tank with and electric pump built in they come with 10 feet or more rubber water hose made for use with chemicals and it comes with sprayer tips.

Hey Josh love the videos man have really made me more comfortable with the stuff I’m doing, I’m getting ready to order the ripclean extractor kit. I’ve always just did basic detailing but now I think I’m going to start expanding my options and see where it goes

[@eldareldar7174]

Water qualities differ. Is there any advantage to placing a water filter between the faucet and the hose?

[@angeryelephant]

Just the video I was waiting for. I built out the extractor system with the Mytee head and I'm waiting for the rip extractor to come next week. Great video !!

[@Franky.Freedom]

Your gonna love it I run it with the mytee

[@angeryelephant]

@@Franky.Freedom I'm looking forward to it!!

[@imjoshv]

Nice 👍

[@chrisw.7039]

Thank you for this video. This the option for me. I’m a beginner not a professional. Excellent mod imo. If you already have a shop vac this to me seems the most cost effective option over paying up to $200 for a separate portable extractor with less suction.

[@emo65170.]

I bought the kit based on your enthusiastic review. Subscribed!

[@pete6300]

Back in the day we would use the short pressure washing wand with a lower pressure nozzle. Point the nozzle toward the shop vac hose and basically pressure wash the dirt into the vacuum. 🤣😂🤣 if you were good with the angle it wouldn't soak the carpet or seat and would dry in a couple hours.

[@angelinareynolds492]

This was very informative! Thanks:) I'm thinking if I connect to the kitchen faucet I could get hot water during the extraction.

[@anthony1113]

Love this conversion…I have a possible upgrade option. What if you added a mini tankless water heater to the water system (like the ones under sinks). Amazon has one for$100 1500 watt. Would be a nice option if someone has a generator with power capability.

Hi Josh. Great video and thanks for all of the research and info that you've shared. Question...I mistakenly left my passenger rear windows partially down and it rained.

[@Richie5480]

Back in the day when I was cleaning carpets, I had an adapter that would connect to the kitchen sink, and use hot water, man that would clean anything.

[@Hp-gp8hd]

Just got mine rip clean kit looking forward to using it I got the 4 gallon with the 5hp motor. I also order the carpet cleaner from them too.

[@ddautodetailing]

Thanks for sharing this! I just might have to get one. Since most water heaters may be in the garage and have a hose connection, that could be a possibility for a hot water source. May need to turn the temperature down on the water heater though.

[@imjoshv]

Great idea!

[@DJracerTT03]

I was thinking the same thing however I would probably figure out some sort of prefilter because of the sediment that collects at the bottom of water heaters. If it were me...I would tap in to the line on the top of the water heater and this would eliminate the sediment issue...you also would want to make sure the rating on the hose could handle the heat because coming straight off the water heater is going to be much hotter than say at your kitchen sink due to the thermal loss from the distance of the faucet to the heater.

[@ikairaa]

Can I connect it to my pressure washer hose with the quick connect ?

[@marctrainor5595]

Man, what a great video. Talk about your "poor man's" extractor. This is it, and I have a possible idea of what you might be able to do to get some hot water going here. On my water heater, there is a spicket, just like a garden hose spicket. I'm wondering if I couldn't hook up the female part of the hose to that so you could have hot water. Of course, depending on how big your water heater is, you could run out of hot, hot water, but you'd still have water that's in the process of heating up. Just an idea here. Thanks again for the very informative video. Marc Trainor

[@beautybelq91]

I wonder if it would work with a smaller shop vac.

[@jontester8920]

I can't decide between a 5 house and 6 hp ridged shop vac. Just ordered the rip clean kit. Would a 6 hp ridged be too much suction when vacuuming?

Which Rigid vac would be better? The WD4070 or WD4080? Both 4gal, but one is 5hp and the other is rated at 6 peak HP with a top detachable blower (like the top of the one in video). Have been building my own DIY since 2019, buying parts here and there, but accidentally bought the Ripclean while half asleep this morning (didn’t know I was logged into my Shop account, when pressing the best button to figure out price after tax). So I guess I’m finally going for it. Just need a second vac. 5hp with a free detailing kit, or 6hp with a top blower. Can’t decide if 1HP makes much of a difference when it comes to suction
