I felt that in my own knee!

[@MarkSaiger]

It was a doozie. I just had another surgery on that knee 7 weeks ago to remove a bunch of scar tissue. It's a bit better now, but it really got messed up with the first knee replacmemt... That fell out right away. Not a good moment. The cement never bonded with the bone 😬🙄

[@lindaconner3236]

South Texas here. 68yrs young. In my day.. if you didn't do it yourself.. then there was Stanley or Rainbow carpet cleaners. Rainbow won hands down. I always called them. Quick, clean, and light clean smell left behind. Oh.. did l mention that I cleaned homes for a living?? Housekeeper. Loved my job. Nothing like looking around as you left & thinking, "wow.. l did that !! 😊

[@MarkSaiger]

That's Awesome! Thank you for being here with us. I'm 62 now, But I have a knee that is only 2 years old...LOL. Unfortunately, I have to have surgery on it again in 6 days. Will be down another 6 weeks they are telling me. The first knee fell out right away 3 years ago when the cement didn't hold and didn't bond with the bones. I still like cleaning and hope this next surgery to remove a bunch of scar tissue helps things out! 😊

[@sumyungai1]

I love that you do many multiple passes over the carpet. After watching other videos, I would request my carpet cleaner to take multiple “rinsing” passes”. I hate the cleaned carpet residue I’ve come across in some properties. Makes it feel just as dirty as original. You already take care of that. Thank you!

[@MarkSaiger]

Thank you! There are sometimes you don't need multiple passes with our wand set ups. We have larger jets and pretty good suction to accompany the entire set up balance. Also with the window in the wand head we can keep an eye on soils being removed.... But we do a lot of double pass (or some areas more) passes and followed up with dry passes to remove not just moisture, but more suspended soils. Something I have grown up doing for years 😊👍

Then we ask them to try and learn what we feel is important as a teacher, but yet there is so much negativity going on at home... It's just really amazing how well kids can do and so sad. The older I get and reflect on this... It really hits home how much kids endure, and how immature the "adults" can be.

What influenced your decision on Workhorse vacuum verses Sanitaire etc? Is the Workhorse direct air?

[@MarkSaiger]

We had seen them in action and bought one to try. It was pulling so much debris out on so many of our jobs we decided to buy for each van. It's been really good on belts vs sanitare. We went through one belt that caught something and smoked the belt. I also like a dirt container vs bag because the container will get dumped after (or even during) every job so I know it has a chance of being an effective vaccum especially with employees (even though there is only 3 of us) I'm not sure about the motor. It is in line with the suction and filtered before hitting the motor so I'm gonna guess it could be direct air, but I'm truly guessing as I type this.

[@josieshepherd2483]

Is it better to have solution in carpet cleaner or just pre treat with it and water only in machine?

[@MarkSaiger]

You definitely will get better results with a prespray ahead of extraction vs running a cleaning solution only in the system. Especially in cases like this.

[@josieshepherd2483]

@MarkSaiger is it okay to just spray a spot treatment pre treat all over then just use water in the machine to do my house or do I need to use a carpet shampoo and spray it all over instead? Do you know if a shampoo is different then a pretreatment carpet spray spot remover?

[@MarkSaiger]

​@@josieshepherd2483a spotter is possibly going to be a different formula than a prespray. A shampoo can sometimes be some similar formula as a prespray cleaner. A lot of store bought units or even rental units they make their product to go through the machine. It's usually a mild Alkaline cleaner. I have not experimented with it as a prespray but you might be able to use it as a prespray applied with a pump up garden Sprayer then rinse with water or even the formula also in the machine. You could get a prespray such as our Saiger's Sauce 1 or 10 Below and prespray then rinse with the formula they have for their machines. That could give you good results. A shampoo is sometimes the same as a rinse or prespray when they call it a shampoo for their machines. I've been planning to look into doing a video buying a homeowners machine and showing how to clean with it. That could happen yet this Fall or winter.

I need some advice - products to use etc. please ❤❤❤❤ . Dealing with similar carpet . I have tried to do regular carpet scrubber and have even added steam with my regular steam mop that the head comes off . Is there no hope for me without this commercial equipment or hiring someone?

[@MarkSaiger]

It depends on the soil level. Unfortunately, it's hard to beat a $50,000 to $150,000 cleaning unit and the tools. But I would maybe suggest if you wanted to try. If you purchase a self contained cleaning unit from say Walmart or similar (such as Hoover or Bissell) I would maybe suggest having you try something like our Saiger's Sauce 1. Easy to use and good punch. Mix it up as 2 ounces (a 2 ounce scoop is on our containers). Apply it with a pump up pressure sprayer (such as a one gallon garden sprayer with wand). Apply liberally, maybe even use a clean deck brush or clean shop broom to agitate as needed, or even that mop with some stream to activate) Rinse with the cleaning machine and only use the product in the machine they provide. It's a mild cleaning agent that won't harm the carpet cleaner pump. Our products are stronger and the pumps are not built for commercial cleaning agents. Extract at least a couple of times with wet cleaning passes, then dry pass extract. I would apply a fan to help speed dry. Spot removal stains are a different animal and I could help address those stains also if needed. Let me know if this is of any help and I wish you success. Also, if you let me know your location, I might be able to find a local cleaner I might know. www.saigers.com

From a property manager's POV? That carpet was from the early 90s and the renters didn't bother to clean it once over many years. We'd call that property owner a "Slum Lord" because that carpet and padding needed to be ripped out and replaced. the carpet can come out looking nice and clean... But that padding underneath is going to be saturated with dirt that will wick right back out in a couple months making the carpet look nasty again. 🤢🤮 That's one of the problems with "Wall 2 Wall" back then the padding was recycled fabric and foam... You did an EXCELLENT job! Just that the owners should have replaced that. We need a rug spa to pull out W2W deep clean it like the area rugs and install it over new padding... 🤣

[@MarkSaiger]

Totally agree actually! They were on some time line to get next group in of course. This was the biggest rescue of this carpet this time 😁👍

[@johnwilliams8818]

I bet after you finished they had someone come in and paint over all those dirty walls too 🤣 I have to say though I was digging that Zipper!

[@redcrimson1028]

Great video mark. I've got my own steam cleaning buisness as well. Question though? Whats your thought on the rotovac vaccum scrub wand? Think its better thsn the zipper?

[@MarkSaiger]

Thank you and welcome to the channel 😊. We prefer the Zipper Wand overall for what we use it for. The rotary wand you are talking about would have done a good job on this job also. It does have some weaknesses unfortunately in durability I have come across such as hitting a transition strip or heat register grate accidentally, the gears will usually break. But it can clean well. Also, a person needs to be careful not to leave permanent swirls in the carpet. So grooming after us important we feel and also being careful not to use it on certain carpets it could leave those permanent swirls. Where are you located if I might ask? And thanks again for being here and your comments 😊

[@redcrimson1028]

@MarkSaiger thanks for your honest comment. I'm located in Virginia sir, what about you? What do you think about the ninja? Is that better than the rotovac? What's the best portable cleaning machine to use?

[@MarkSaiger]

​@@redcrimson1028 we are in Northern Minnesota. Grand Rapids, MN. The Ninja has a really good history of being good. I'm not sure how it is these days. I know JonDon has done a portable that has been really good. Their Prospector series. One of their 500 psi has 3 different vaccum options. And also has heat. I have not played around with portables for quite sometime and since the Pandemic, there were a lot of changes with portables. Some of those changes were not very good for the industry, but I'm hoping things are making a change for the better. 😊

Mark, love your videos. Just a home owner not a pro cleaner, so would you ever consider doing a video using your products (Code Red, Deep Blue, Lymezyme, etc.) with a homeowner grade machine (BISSELL Big Green or Rug Doctor) as a how you’d clean a home with that sort of setup?

[@MarkSaiger]

I really like this idea and might go buy a home owners machine and do a series on this Thank you for the idea! In the meantime, I do have a video using a small portable to clean my place in Florida. Let me get you that video and post here for you 😊

Here is that video. Any home machine or rental will be similar to this kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZfRhnSXaLOlbs0

Do to mind if I ask what you charge per area or per square ft for carpets like this.

[@MarkSaiger]

We have always charged by the square foot. More of a common practice in the upper Midwest. We are currently 50 cents per Sq foot in 2022 and beginning 2023.

@@Dankcatvacs sorry about that. This was our Saiger's Sauce Code Red and with our Harvard Chemical G-Force Booster which is a liquid soy Booster. For rinse we use our Saiger's Deep Blue All Purpose - All Fiber Rinse. You will see that combo on a lot of our Super Greasy restaurant jobs too 😊

[@jaykhalifaali2300]

Mark I love your fun happy attitude, it's really nice 😊 I have two questions, is the zipper ss spinner vlm, hwe or something different altogether? And when would you use a wand, vs rotovac, vs zipper on residential? How do you decide what's best

[@MarkSaiger]

Thanks Jay! The Zippers are hot water extraction tools. They are really good at flushing things out, but have incredible recovery and drying capabilities. They are really made for cleaning large commercial areas, but we have been using them also on large residential (or trashed 😉) when we see they will be a time saver. They can be twice as fast as a wand in the right hands also and quite possibly 4 times or more faster than a rotary such as the Rotovac. The Rotovac type rotatories can get a different type of direct fiber agitation, but we rarely use our Rotovacs anymore. We have seen in some cases also permanent damage from a Rotovac extractor especially on commercial carpet with some people having to even replace carpets in buildings they used the unit on. We tend to use Conway Devastator swivel head wands, Zippers, CRB's and even the Trinity for VLM. The Trinity even though be low moisture and rotary style has the correct speed so as not to hurt or tip bloom carpet fiber. We keep experimenting also to see what else we can discover and always willing to share our experiences. 😊👍

Do you have the vacuum listed in equipment list don’t see it but I am exhausted. It’s two in the morning but I can’t stop watching. 😝🤪 do you think it’s the best vacuum on the market

[@MarkSaiger]

I will have to add to my list. It's the Cleartrak Workhorse. It's a great vaccum for us as carpet cleaners. We really like them. Some others out there are cheaper such as the Shark Lift away. But we do like our workhorse vaccums currently. cleartrak.com/

Do you find that the Zipper loses air movement the more you keep it on the carpet, sort of like the Rotovac does? I also have the butler and the suction is so great with the Rotovac, that I notice I have to let it breath once in a while to spin up the air movement again.

[@MarkSaiger]

I know what you are describing. The Zipper has a bit of side vaccum slot happening. It doesn't lock down like a Rotovac or unglided wand. But saying that also there is more vaccum available when not on the carpet like other wands and such. Any tool we pull off the carpet or a fiber does allow for greater velocity and air movement
