Right Pre-Spray cleaners + Right Technic + Right Equipment = Amazing Results. Thanks Mark.

[@MarkSaiger]

Hassan I would be nothing without you! Everyone, meet my amazing chemist who has helped our family for years as we have come up with crazy ideas! 😊❤️ Thank you for everything!

[@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 😊👍

[@paulwatsonLN]

I agree, it makes a difference...I call is "scrubbing'.

[@MarkSaiger]

Thank you so much for being here with us! So glad you are enjoying the channel and content. I have a few videos where I have used both methods, but not much on comparing each other side by side. I have done testing and I feel I can clean very well with either method. There are times one is faster over the other and that is a reason for the decision between either. I'm not sure if you have caught my one video cleaning a pretty nasty carpet at a manufacturing plant with VLM only. I really was surprised at what I was able to do. I was on one of my road tours and they reached out to me to see if I wanted a challenge...Of course sometimes I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed...LOL. But I'm so happy they contacted me, because I learned that I can do A LOT with VLM cleaning.

[@johnwilliams8818]

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 😁👍

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

[@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. 😊👍

[@chey7TH]

I want to learn how to do this so bad. But i have no idea where to get started, what machines to use besides a dang good vacuum cleaner. What steam vac thing? What are they even really called? Do i use chemicals? Do i absolutely need a car for this? Oh god so many questions.

[@MarkSaiger]

Good Day and what a great question(s). I would suggest to keep watching cleaning videos yet but also, you might be able to set up sometime to meet a cleaning company and see first hand the process. To answer some of your questions here. First I want to say, ladies can clean carpet too. It can be a physical and sometimes difficult job, but our daughter (Aron's Wife) was one of our lead techs for a number of years. We had a glimpse of here cleaning in part 3 of our recent 3 part cleaning series videos at a bar restaurant. Also, we have some lady cleaners following us here on the channel too. Depending where you are located, I might have know of someone who you could meet and see the equipment and process. They might even invite you to do a ride a long . A vacuum will be needed, but you will also see there are quite a few cleaners in our industry who do not pre-vacuum. We do feel it is important in many instances though. What we use for the Steam Cleaning is also known as Hot Water Extraction is a Trucmounted cleaning machine. We use Butler Truckmounts which run off the van motors. Some Truckmounts have a separate motor and are called a slide in unit being independent from needing the van motor to operate. There are also portable carpet cleaning machines. They are smaller and would run off and electric outlet. All these machines, there are many different designs. I will say, some can be better than others and each cleaner makes a decision some time based on what they can afford or what a local dealer will sell and service. There is cleaning chemistry involved. All the products being used in our videos are our Saiger's Sauce Products we have developed over the years. There are others out there as well. Learning the chemistry can be beneficial as it can help your cleaning to be more successful. Hopefully, my channel does help to address some of these questions at times. I don't go to in depth in chemistry, but will touch on it at times. For transporting the equipment and getting to job sites, you will need transportation. Having your own vehicle for this would be best, but I do know of a carpet cleaner friend with sight problems in Australia, who has taxi's take him and his equipment from job to job. He's quite the character also. 😁👍. There are also other cleaning methods called Low Moisture Cleaning that you will see on my channel in the VLM Playlist. This is another option for some as their cleaning method. It takes less equipment and in many situations even a more preferred cleaning method. We incorporate all methods of cleaning ourselves. I hope this helped to touch a little bit of your questions. We sure are glad you are here with us, and look forward to helping you with your questions....and really glad you are here enjoying our videos. 😊❤

[@shawnsturgeon1014]

Them carpets are looking good! Cool music too btw. I just started my business this year and I’m having problems getting customers. I have flyers coming, running a sale for new customers. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 😊

[@MarkSaiger]

Welcome to the industry 😊👍. The flyers will help get your name around. If you can start by cleaning for family and friends and they start telling more friends, this can help get you some business. We don't pay for advertising on Facebook, but use Facebook as a positive marketing tool. Again, getting people to share posts or even comment on posts can help. It's not easy starting businesses new, but the rewards can be an awesome feeling when things start to click. We are in a smaller community, so we can be seen well. And keeping the vans and equipment clean and good looking also is huge we feel. Travel routes that people can see you. Networking in your community at community functions and having business cards ready to hand out when people ask what you do can be a help. I'm not sure where you live and size of your community but every place can vary on what might work. I would suggest not to base your advertising just around price as then it's more difficult to find those good clients who will truly value you and your work and what you are truly worth. Confidentiality price your work to be profitable, cover your expenses and also be able to grow and me able to update and replace equipment later on. I have a video I did on pricing a few years ago I will also find and link here to if can be of help

[@MarkSaiger]

Mark thank you buddy. I am near Cincinnati, Ohio. I have almost 20 years experience doing hard surface floors and 10 years doing carpet cleaning. Through the years working for big companies I’ve received a lot of positive feedback on my work. So this year I decided to take the ball and run with it. I still have some things to do to be legit, I need business license and a website. Thank you for your help, I will watch your video.

I wanna know this…. How long do I go with my own carpet til I give up? I have four kids and it’s so hard to keep the carpets clean… I’ll wash them three times in a day and the water is still bad. Are you supposed to go til the water is clear?? Help!

[@MarkSaiger]

Hi Kate and thanks for being here. Unfortunately, most home or rental units are not that powerful. Regular weekly vaccuming can help a lot. But if you are cleaning yourselve, a good prespray sprayed down will help a lot. Then extract with your carpet cleaning unit. If you have a portable do the same. Sometimes carpet will be tough to clean with certain carpets. We can help you out though www.Saigers.com

[@katesstoreshelforganizinga5753]

@@MarkSaiger Thank you for clearing that up! I vacuum at LEAST once a day, often more due to my toddler making big messes all over the house.... I have a home carpet shampooer (it wasn't more than $200 or so) and I feel like I'll go over the same area again and again with solution and super-hot water and the water never seems to go clear. It drives me mad, lol..... and sure, I'd love to have you clean my carpets but I'm in Virginia!

[@andrewschrotenboer9445]

Very impressive! Got any good suggestions for old set in coffee stains? Tried several things, but they keep coming back.

[@MarkSaiger]

Thank you! For coffee stains and reoccurring stains we will use a peroxide based product. We don't usually have constant wick back problems on those stains if we just mist on something like our Harvard Chemical Just Like Magic. It's a 9.9 percent peroxide with a few other things in the formula to help. If it still keeps coming back there is some sort of cleaning residue sometimes that might need water claw Flushing, but I have hardly used a water claw in years for subsurface extraction. Here is a video on what we do if it can help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/inWllImAfMebrtEsi=gyznT1_ELkGAjysX

I have a lovely cream wool carpet with big ole wine red stains on it - they seem like they will never come off.. is it worth chucking it and replacing or is there still hope?

[@MarkSaiger]

Wool being a natural fiber can absorb permanent stains. It really takes a specialty rug shop to try and have it removed and they can still be permanent. Red is even more difficult to remove if a number of attempts to remove the red have taken place. So then it also comes down to how much is the rug truly worth to have a high end rug shop attempt to fix it 😊

[@angelap1981]

@@MarkSaiger Thanks Mark, yes, it'll probably need to be a synthetic "wool effect" carpet next time - and no red wine in the living room!

[@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. 😊

[@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.

It was really close to that. They could not get the renters out. Took a court order and Sheriff... And quite some time to get them out.

[@freedomofreligion3248]

How do I get this kind of result? Are there others who clean to this stsndard? Not that I've ever seen! Kind of disheartening...

For us it's a combination of chemistry and equipment. But also I could get this results with other equipment too. Just might take me a bit longer. Are you a cleaner also?

[@danahicks9479]

Can I put vinegar in my clean water tank for rinsing carpet in my portable carpet cleaning machine

[@MarkSaiger]

This is a great question. I would honestly not do that. Vinegar is very acidic, and if course quite smelly. You would be better off to purchase a gallon of actual carpet cleaning rinse over vinegar. But another thing to keep in mind is the store bought carpet cleaning machines rinse is specially built for those units. A lot of store bought units don't have the proper seals in motors and such to handle more than the rinse they make for those units. Other cleaners run through the units can destroy the pumps. Thank you for this question. Hopefully it can also help others 😊

Idc how many times yoy clean the carpet your self white/ light carpet stains easy. I had a Bissell proheat 2x and my carpets where still stained. That's why you always go for wood or a dark carpet.

[@Panapanan15]

I even had the no shoes rule in my house.

[@MarkSaiger]

We have a no shoes rule in our house too. I have light creme colored nylon carpet currently that's about 15 years old. We are installing white nylon carpet this year. It's actually easier to clean and maintain for us. Dark carpet can show a number of other soils but if people take off shoes, vaccum at least weekly and even wipe up a spill right away, any carpet can stay cleaner. Obviously, this Carpet in the video, they didn't apply any of that 😅

[@Panapanan15]

@@MarkSaiger I'm not sure what type of carpet I had but my husband and I vowed never to live in a house with carpet again. And when we bought our house it has hardwood flooring. I'm glad your carpet is working out for you. You also have some pretty expensive equipment to keep it clean. I just had my Bissell and the old peroxide, iron, and towel trick.

[@MarkSaiger]

@@Panapanan15 hardwood is great. We have in our home multiple types of surfaces. I actually have allergies and there have been some studies showing how soft goods in a home with regular maintenance can help keep them from being as air born. Surfaces of course need that regular vaccuming and service. Doing that is like replacing your furnace filter. Keeps things fresh. But so many do not do the maintenance and everything is an allergy trap 😁😅. I really appreciate you sharing your experience here. Thank you so much for being here with us 😊

Did you use a carpet cleaner or Carpet extractor?

It is truly unfortunate that people value other things over taking care of their home. There had been children in this home which really makes me concerned. 😕.

And it was a miracle how well some of them did despite their home situation

Most of these businesses are owner operators. There might be some of the large restoration type business models that have investment opportunities, but not many of them will specialize like we do in the carpet cleaning field. They become more of a business model of how to make money
