We basically groom out wand marks.
Was raised that way and out of respect for our family we continue that but we just believe if we can get it to look more like the day it was installed the better.

What about commercial carpet, do you groom that? What about Cimex swirls? Asking for a friend? What about that 25,000 sq. ft. with the Cimex, you groom it?

On dense pile the swirls are going to be visible and yes we have to or risk that it will be unacceptable to the clients. We have the jumbo groomers that have two heads attached to one handle.
In general the vast majority is not groomed because the swirls do not show when dry.

When cleaning rugs in the shop, the final step before hanging to dry, is to groom and set the nap. Why would we treat the carpet in your home any differently? Having said that, on some of our empty rentals, we don't groom.

So, let me understand.Its always a good marketing move to admit the negative. "I clean to 90% of the industry standard. I don't groom BUT I give you diamonds."
At Chavez Resto & Hatchlings 10% of the total quality is the grooming?
No wonder you guys have to market like banshees
Hell. Give RA a bonus. Cause he ain't gonna see the wife & kids any time soon.

I think a groomed carpet has been professionally finished
If your not grooming make sure your wand lines look professional

Everyday is Saturday.
We only groom certain carpets, don’t think it a hack thing but heat setting the diamonds and jet heat streaking is hacking it out.

i think straight wand strokes looks better thn the diamond patterns. if you apply protector then a grandi brush or something like it should be used. it spreads the portector into the nap and helps it to dry faster.
you could go by the room and decide. a formal dining room is groomed. but family rooms and bedrooms are going to get foot traffic right away, so straight wand strokes makes it nice until that fades away. i've seen utube videos that show grooming but because it wasn't deep cleaned there is still dirt showing. that doesn't look as good as some diamonds in it.

res in good shape gets groomed
trashed chit doesn't
as long as wand strokes are straight/square to the world, they don't look "bad" to most.
when they're haphazard they look like a jumbled mess of ugliness
and if you're one that says your custys like the look of RE rotary swirls.....I question your or your custy's sanity......

I stopped grooming when I turned 75 so now they just get a really clean and dry carpet and most people ask how soon can I vacuum even after grooming. My advise is to wait a day and also clean the brush on your vacuum. Now that's for the home owners the renters say I don't have a vacuum . jz
