$3495 usd. Worth every penny if you have the right work for it.

Between the machine, pads (a boat load- 36 microfibre, 24 Gladiator, and 12 Gorilla), a case of encap juice (4 gallons), 2 cases of TOPS spotter (8 gallons total), a pint of red relief, a pint of rust remover, and exchange, I paid almost 8 K. (Canuck dollars of course).....

BUT, I bet I make 5 times that back, just with the initial investment...

You can get Ironman pads from Bonnet Pro Canada but I have yet to find a Canadian source for Microfiber pads.

I just got off the phone with a real "Nice Lady" I cleaned the entire house on Friday. White carpet filled with piss. Renters moved in minutes after I was done. Got a call from the owner today yelling at me that carpet looks worse than ever. UGH. I'm going back tomorrow to encap it. I told this lady it was bad but she insisted it be cleaned. Good grief. I took pics of the carpet after I was done cleaning. It looked great with the exception of the furniture stains and wear. There were some red stains also but she didn't want to pay to remove those.

Just send her the pics and call it done.

I did, but as typical, the renter threw me under the bus. I'm sure there may be some wicking. She was complaining that where the carpet hits the tile it is all dark brown. I'm thinking there was dirt in the crevice that wicked up. I had to dig out some mud from that area. Nothing I can't fix. Her attitude just pissed me off.

That's why I took pics after I was done. I had a feeling that the renters would complain about something. They always do. The carpet was in bad shape before I cleaned it and looked great when finished. I think the home owner is absentee. We did everything through email and phone.

I hate those jobs where the renter is moving in just after cleaning. Makes it hard to tell what may have wicked up and what's new sometimes.

The annoying thing is that this carpet needed hours of urine work. It would have been expensive and time consuming. not having the option to do my normal flushing, I upped the acid rinse and hit every spot with my USR (Swimming pool peroxide diluted down to 9:1).

Desk Jockey · Feb 28, 2021

They tracked it up getting on it before it was dry, of course it looks worse. You're getting used but just hit it with your Vibe, won't take long at all.

The worst part is, the renter used to work for ChemDry years ago and is a know it all.

That was where the problem started. Mr Knowitall complained to the landlord

The first words out of his mouth to me were, "Are you going to use an RX-20?"

Should have told him no you're going to use a Zipper Spinner.

Make a video of you loading it into your van.

Head pivots, so I put handle in upright position. Tilt back on wheels lifting the bottom of the head onto the back of the trailer. Tilt handle up and forward. Once level with the trailer, pivot wheels onto trailer.

Pure physics, no lifting the whole unit, which I did to clean a boxing ring and MMA mat.
Not terribly fun, but not terribly painful either. I'll be 59 in May, if I can do it...

Damon, the renter likely wants NEW carpet. You're probably not going to win.

Key word: “Trailer”
So, Swani and I are not the only “trailer hacks”

After sleeping on it for the night I think what I'm going to do is use my edging tool to clean out all the mud from the crevice where the carpet butts up to the tile. Then clean the edge again normally. IT's hard to clean against booby traps.

I'm just assuming this is the issue. I haven't been back yet to see what's going on.

) vs. end user not happy.
