Do you a 28 '' Vacuum ???

Have you ever tried the WORX Sprayer ???

If I was still HWE I would be using the WORX

They are reasonable priced and last a long time

You need 2-3 batteries just in case but one battery usually lasts all day, and you need to charge at the end of the day, but still worth it

Adding a Multi Sprayer Wand to WORX and teejet makes it the BEST Sprayer for VLM or HWE. My opinion

I have different wands with different Teejets for every situation I run into

I mostly use 8002 or 8003 but have 8004 8006 for big rooms so I can move faster or for trashed carpet when I need to put more solution down

love my worx, first I got one of the crappy IBS for when doing VLM, crapped out, quickly, and no support ; got several Worx cheap, online auction, now use for pre-spray HWE as well

Too bad ya can't do the challenge, its pretty straightforward. This is how the carpet looks today. I would divide it into 3 spaces. The challenge is the top 2. The bottom right had 5qts of transmission oil spill on it. It can be made to look presentable but will never come completely clean. During the challenge i will clean it but the challenge is the upper part by the bench. The carpet is not tacked down and there's a blue tarp underneath as a barrier. So the carpet cal be rolled back to record exactly how much dirt and moisture i really push thru when i "soak the crap outa it and push all that dirt down into the pad". Im going to have to clean it over the Christmas holiday cus im tired of looking at it. You need to update your profile it says your in Utah. That would've only been an 800 or so mile trip.

This is the first message board I've been on. I need to update.

I have done challenges before.

My Rules.

The carpet needs a pad under it . carpet needs to be at least 3 years old.

You need to clean it like you would any other job . So how many steam passes would you normally make before you move on .

And the most IMPORTANT thing is we judge it the next day- after it's been clean, and if possible the next month?


And you can use any chemical you want. your normal stuff.



The next day is when, VLM SHINES!!!!

This is the carpet, the last time i cleaned it 1.5 years of use and after replacing 2 complete frontends and a 4 wheel brake job. I first presprayed with firestorm and hydrogen peroxide. It was then cleaned and dried using emulsifier and an rx20. Then followed up with all fiber rinse and rinsing and drying with a 16"4 jet weighted drag wand as i do (with the exception of different presprays) on every carpet i clean. I got 100 oz of silver valued at this moment at 5,739.00 saying you can't out clean me, a 71 year old man with a homemade machine on this carpet using vlm period. The first pictures are to show you that im not using any process that i don't do on every job regardless of how clean or soiled the are when i start. All carpets are first presprayed then cleaned and dried with rx20 and then rinsed and dried with a drag wand. As a vlm'er you could say i double soak the crap outa them. And proudly so since 1977!

There are no your rules. You wanta make rules put up 100 oz silver too. The golden rule is, " He who has the gold shall make the rules " its simple get your side cleaner than mine you win.

I think ( I know) my PEX 500 would do it, don't you

Give me 175, a portable and I’ll clean anything
