Yesterday I cleaned a living room carpet. Light cream Nylon about 8 years old, with dog pee spots and some traffic wear. Other than that it was in OK shape.
I pre sprayed with Attack which is a High PH Enzyme prespray. I didn't go really deep because i did not want to saturate the pad. Then I extracted with CTI Last Step ( acid rinse) and did lots of drying passes followed by grooming the carpet and immediately putting on two commercial dryers. In the past I have had to go back a few times on other similar carpets.
I wanted to avoid any problems but my customer tells me that quite a few of the spots have come back.
In the past I have gone back in to re-clean using Prochem Utra Pac followed by Prochem All Fiber Deep Clean rinse. That has worked.
But this time I was so careful trying to avoid having to come back, but still no luck.
What am I doing wrong?
These stains that came back are supposed to be brownish in color. I haven't seen them yet.
Is there a stain remover for that that I don't have to extract?
On some stains I have used Groom Solutions Liquid Browning and Coffee Free which is Beta bisulfate. Smells nasty and the instructions say to rinse it out, but I have left it in and there is just a white powder left that can be vacuumed up. Worked OK.
The other thing is Stain magic. Sometimes it works, but CTI says that it can take between 1 and 8 hours for the full effect. And that I should extract it. That would mean I would have to come back yet another time. Have you guys used it without extracting it?
I know weird things can happen so I just want to check here to see what you guys think.
I don't have a rotary yet so that is out at this time for me.
I get really irritated when I see a problem coming and I do my best to take all the right steps and it doesn't help.
