How to clean carpet using a buffer machine

Carpet Cleaning

[@macekpavon9006]

An honest hard working man who takes great pride in his work and share it so others can learn. What an absolute LEGEND you are. Huge respect to you, sir.

[@davelucht2895]

What type or brand of spray do you use?

[@steviesells8]

Great video, where can I purchase the scrubber

[@Gottacacheemalll]

Great video , sir!! Quick question Why do you use a red pad instead of a bonnet pad. Just asking because I’ve always used bonnets pads. But it is always good to learn something new.

[@selenajohnson8244]

Omg I have an obsession with cleaning floors. We have nothing in my area like that... as I’m in my tristate. We have a couple of Stanley Steamer companies here and a lot of their reputations are tainted with theft of homes bad businesses. I would love to start a business here! I’m so serious, I would put everything I had on the line with the bet that this would be successful here

[@One-hx2rs]

Thanks for tips boss! Did what you said and it turned out great.

[@micksilva6028]

omg!! that is bad ass man!! i work in a hospital and i can't wait to do this on our carpets

Moses, I have been looking for a carpet solution for my low speed buffer. You have answered my questions and helped another floorman up his game. Thank you - Subbed and Liked also. Todd - PerfectFloor Service

Hey are these the same machines that can resurface a marble floor?

[@Mainbusfail]

@@dborulesyes, they make special drivers that you attach diamond abrasive plates to. Or you can rent grinders as well.

[@cowboybob993]

Thanks for the video

[@WildWillyRidesAgain]

Hey Man I appreciate this information. I was wondering do you suck up the detergent spray dirt mix with a shop vac or something after you scrubbed it with the machine? Thanks

[@primitiveweapons4649]

Thank you for this video! People need to see this!

[@algerae1984]

I would get chewed smooth out for doing this😂 and I'm not saying it doesn't work it's just I've never been taught this. I'm only familiar with the bonnet method

[@Beluel]

Keep it up bro good work

[@christianalfabite1796]

Is Not good use polisher brush not pads to clean a carpet.

[@tiffanyparks3306]

See them fringes💪🏾

[@enegue2226]

The red pad will not ruined the carpet?

[@Ceedeetunis]

It should be noted that red pads cannot be used on light colored carpets because it will bleed and ruin them. There are bonnet pads specific for this type of cleaning or just use neutral color pads. Great job though.

[@joshbroke8965]

I have been doing carpets for years and was told this is an improper way to clean a carpet. I was screamed at, thank you for proving me right once again my man.

[@kylehughes3654]

This method is approved by the IICRC. Encapping is cheaper, faster, and allows for much quicker use of the carpet. The IICRC recommends this as maintenance cleaning. Its great for in-between maintenance with HWE, as HWE is more expensive, more time consuming, and requires a much longer dry time. Each method has its place and purpose. Cheers!

[@k3digichaos]

My partner at work told me about this method. Thanks for posting this or I’d never know lol

[@BlockchainToTheFace]

I thought the whole point of encap was to leave a residue on carpet, so you can vacuum it up?

[@JennaWaldrop]

what spray did you use?

[@UAP22]

Just a light dusting he says!!😅😅 as he soaks the carpet. Just need a couple sprits' is all!! Not a saturation

[@JoseSanchez-xd1oz]

Thak you Moises, thanks for dhare, you do good job.

[@IntegrityCleaning]

great work! what a good tool to.o!

[@steviesells8]

So where does the dirt go, does the buffer extract aswell

[@joshriddle4797]

no you have to rent a extractor or vacuum it up

[@jasexavier]

Encapsulating cleaning chemicals bond to soils and dry to a loose powdery residue. Once the carpets are completely dry you can pick it up with an ordinary vacuum. Nothing is removed by the buffer, just broken free from the carpet fibers

[@poolboywillis1225]

Actually theres pads that extract called bonnets , microfiber etc that pad is for cleaning vinyl ,it will be fine for commercial badly trafficked carpet like that though the weage is in a very tight elbow loop

[@jasexavier]

@@poolboywillis1225 Bonnets do remove some soil, but encapsulation followed by vacuuming is far superior. Most carpet mills will not warranty carpet that has been bonnet cleaned, as testing has shown it doesn't remove sufficient soil to protect the fibers from abrasion. For light to moderate soil you can make a carpet look good with bonnets, and it's better than not cleaning at all, but encapsulation isn't really much more work and your carpet will last longer. You do want to do a hot water extraction every few encap cleanings though, to get rid of any build up residue.

[@fpvflyer4758]

This is excellent! May I ask, which 175 machine do you recommend? Also, you mentioned not to go with high speed. I'm new, can you please explain why? What would be a good use case for the high speed one? Do they have ones that have low and high speed? Thank you again!! 🙏🙏

[@masterbuilder6375]

Really great job man

[@mutzcleaningservices8153]

The red pad was to agitate...don't you need to use a bonnet to take out the soil?

[@fukaniggaup]

not when you use an encapsulant....when the carpet dries, the remaining soil dries inside a crystal (encapsulated) that can be vacuumed up

[@chrismccullough11]

Is there an actual brush type head for the floor buffer or would it be okay to use red pad then go back over it with a bonnet? Also you use a pre spray is there additional cleaners used or just the pre spray? Thanks

[@kalmado5837]

Haha nice idea..

[@terrellavery9]

So you don't get the soap up with an extractor?

[@re-newitcarpetcleaning2155]

HI we use a pre spray that dosent require extraction 👍🏾

[@terrellavery9]

@re-newitcarpetcleaning2155 thanks.

[@DLongRas47]

New sub i do this a work but been slowly getting my own equipment ..

[@joelgonzalez]

What kind of detergent did you use

[@luisbarajas6361]

Check out Encap Store

[@ellisbarry]

Could you use a white pad on that carpet?

[@re-newitcarpetcleaning2155]

Yes white pads work also, I prefer the red ones though

[@ellisbarry]

@@re-newitcarpetcleaning2155 thanks for responding. I have a job to do this week and I'll be using my 175 too.

[@bringdownthecabal6192]

No bonnet?

[@MrYega-zq7rz]

What happens if you use a high buffer like 1600 rpm?

[@kevinjohnson5210]

Moses do you ever bonnet the carpet with clean absorbent pads after scrubbing ?

[@michaelreinhard6374]

That's not a buffer it's a scrubber ok a buffer runs on its tips with pads to polish wax etc..

What about the 13 inch what attachments do I need ?

[@adrianjr.7292]

This is a good video, but this is what they call a quick fix. At some point the carpet will need to be extracted after this procedure with the low speed machine.

[@johnc8112]

What type of product do you use ?

[@josephlieberman3027]

Thank You..

[@cveer9133]

Hello, what buffer are you using.

[@TrendyBromando]

How to clean carpet with a buffer: step 1 throw away the buffer step 2 purchase titan 575

[@heroinmom153]

Good luck getting that around in a large building. The King Cobra is the ultimate extractor because of all of its use cases, and it's half the price of the Titan.

[@heroinmom153]

Plus, heat alone doesn't do much on heavily soiled and walked down surfaces. You need agitation in a lot of cases.

[@TrendyBromando]

@@heroinmom153 they make a wheel kit for the titan 575 now so you can bring it inside buildings and houses and stuff you need a couple people to help move it upstairs its kinda heavy

[@TrendyBromando]

@@heroinmom153 i still bring in the 575 inside even if the truck is right outside I can do 10 to 20ft hose runs and get even more suction 🥴

[@TrendyBromando]

@@heroinmom153 lol im talking about an 800lb gas powered truck mount that is only meant from van or trailer use and bringing it inside peoples houses 🤣

[@melwilson4802]

That's a slow speed swing machine for scrubbing. Not a buffer. Buffer's run at 1500-2000 rpm. Scrubbers run at 175rpm.

[@joshriddle4797]

no its a buffer you are talking about a high speed buffer or its burnisher highspeed are for gloss

[@orangecounty7144]

You talking about a High speed burnisher polisher

[@jasexavier]

Everyone has different names for all these things. These are called buffers, scrubbers, swing machines, low speed machines, 175s, etc. High speed machines are usually called burnishers, but some people call them buffers too. It makes some sense since buffers in other industries are usually high speed, but it's fairly uncommon in floor care since 175s have been called buffers since before high speed machines were around.

[@crankedup67]

Great video! What encapsulated solution are you using? Thanks

[@heroinmom153]

Instead of a red pad, have you used a bonnet? I find the ones with the green scrub stripes work best, and for heavily soiled areas, more water, then an extraction with a heated extractor.

[@Cookie_on_vr357]

That's how I do it...
