Just had my first job cleaning wool carpets . Used a fine fabric upholstery pre spray and Prochem's All Fiber Deep Clean as a rinse. The carpet was a light tan shag very lightly soiled but there were urine spots that only showed up when I used my black light. No odor.
I reduced the pressure to about 200 psi, tem at 190 and did wet passes only on the backstroke and used lots of dry passes ( kind of like I do Olefin) and immediately put dryers into every room I cleaned.By the time I was leaving the carpet was almost dry.
It turned out very nice but I might have gotten lucky. Could some of you veterans give me a few pointers that will help me with wool carpets? Like what pre sprays and what rinses work best? This carpet was pretty clean to begin with but what if I had a lighter color carpet with stains? On regular jobs I like to use Oxy Plus and Citrus pro ( even though I have been told that using the Citrus pro is not a good idea on Olefin but that it is sometimes necessary when it's really bad). So if I have a wool carpet that's in bad shape, what would be the best way to go about it?
