Is that what your local supplier is carrying?
I have not local supplier cause in Italy becouse no supplier imports these brands in Italy. I had to buy them via the internet from UK with more expensive costs.

They are all very good reputable manufacturers that have a very nice variety of products. You can also add Bridgepoint as well.
Don't over think it. You'll do fine with any of them.
Get the ones that are easiest to get.

Procyon and SS's One Earth line are also very nice green lines of products

Thanks for the answers!!!!

I hope to explain well my questions cause i am from Italy and my english is so bad. I am 37 years old and I wash oriental rugs for about 2 years. In these two years I have washed the carpets of customers with the extraction method:
-Vaccum
-Prespray
-Agitation with rotowash
-Extraction and rince with HWE
The results are not bad.

Now I am curious to wash carpets with a rotary machine and shampoo for oriental rugs. I have a small detail store of oriental rugs where I wash the oriental rugs while my small store is closed to the customers.
My big problem is I wash carpets on a small floor surface (11,48ft x 8,20ft). Unfortunately the surface where to wash the carpets is very small and i am surrounded by my new rugs to sell. I can not risk wetting and soiling the new oriental rugs.
I have seen this youtube video and water splashes are very few so i can try it


I've also seen other videos where they use too much water and for me it would be impossible.


It is possible to wash carpets with few splashes (as in the first video)?

Thanks
sorry for my bad english

No it's not possible to actually wash a rug with that little bit of water.. You can say you cleaned it, but people's definitions of a full wash is different..

If you have a lightly soiled rug and if it's a bleeder you can get away with a whipping a foam and sponge cleaning.. Moderately-heavily soiled you'd need to use more water to remove the soil stuck on the fibers after dusting..

With your small space limitations I'd just stick to what you've been doing til you can manage to get a bigger wash area where your not subject to getting your new rugs wet..

This is my opinion, take it with a grain of salt...

I might also suggest building a small wall around your wash area to help contain the splashing. A wall knee high could work.

Many years ago a change was made to formula 90 as a regulatory issue arose
We have changed the formulation back to the original after researching the issue
This was done over 15 years ago
