Depressing!

[GCCLee]

Ever have one that no matter what cocktail you throw at it, just won't cooperate.

2br Townhouse, Frize Carpet (sucks)
Any heel grinding on this stuff and the light never reflects correctly again, traffic wear is horrid.
O2 HOT and Rinsed beyond well : )

Rotovac'd the dog snot out of it with the mixes pegged on high. 4 jet head

Going to celebrate my first big defeat. Right after I invoice it for a min. : )

Installers are going to have at it in the a.m. We were all on the same page and prepared for the worst.

Arrrrggghhhh : (

Prespray with a WD 40 and Butyl cocktail, agitate with an OP and black pad.... and extract again.

 

[cu]

10 to 12 oz of Judson slop and gobble. 1/2 cup of ammonia (clear) in a hf scrub with a red pad dwell for 15 mins and extract

 

[Ron K]

What was the cause? Newly sealed Driveway? Or Quicky Lube? Porno Film Set? Last CLeaned? Or is this a ......?

 

[Mikey P]

sort of hard to tell from your crappy photos but it looks like garbage carpet to begin with



You'll learn when to bow out sooner than later


Don't slit your wrist just yet.

 

[Dolly Llama]

and use something besides 02...it's crap

if you're a Judson lover, get Slop 'n Gobble ...it'll kick 02's azz.
Be sure to mix it stronger than the ridiculously low thimble full per 55gal drum he suggests


2oz S&G pr gal mixed it hot water and it will rock


..L.T.A.

 

[Mikey P]

and add another ounce per of Oxy Clean too for dumps like that.

 

[ruff]

and for foofoo's sake, charge more, not less when you work harder.
Personally, I never understood the concept of charging less when you have to work twice as hard.

 

[John Olson]

Ok sending you one of the Prochem jars. Pretty sure which ones is the winner already so I will send you one of the few I have left before we make the announcement. It will fix this.

Might be replaced before your product gets there John.

 

[dealtimeman]

I have the same gut feeling shorty.

 

[Shorty]

Why not contact them and ask for a bit more time, explain the situation after all, it is the week-end.

IF you can save them replacement, you'll be a hero in their eyes.

 

[GCCLee]

Thanks for all the input guys : ) and Thanks John

I used S&G Hot on the darker spots and it did lighten it slightly, even after the O2 modified. Dwell times were good, cranked the pressure up to 500.

To be honest I believe it is caused by a mixture of barefootedness, combined with burning incense sticks, topped with powdered deodorizer. And a blacktop parking lot.
There were 2 adults, 1 child and a lil fuzzy white dog.

We have had alot of problems with this style carpeting in these particular units. They have 1 unit of it in the big complex across town aswell.
Being Apts. I am sure it is not the best floor covering on the market either, but still arrrggh!

 

[Desk Jockey]

We had one that had some traffic areas like that, not as bad over all but concentrated paths. Cleaned just as you did and it cleaned ok and looked but but it was until we put a powerhead on it that it came clean. I think you need more agitation, either with a 175 or a powerhead. If you see a lot of them like this I'd get a powerhead, you'll out clean anyone using only a wand. I'd also try something hotter as suggested, S&G, Flex, or John's Prochem mix something with a bigger bite to it.

 

[John Olson]

Why you need the right product for the job. Trying to use an enzyme on asphalt is never going to work. Wrong product. You need a petroleum digester not an animal fat digester. You can't fix everything with a hammer no matter what hillbilly tells you that you can. Not that I calling anyone a hillbilly just sounded funny to me after not sleeping all night because of my neck

 

[Buck1955]

How about adding a degreaser to the prespray?

 

[ruff]

If it relates to the black top. some of the specialty Olefin pre-sprays with added solvency may help.

 

[bob vawter]

some GC 1300 would kick some serious azz on that mess.....

are you mixing it at Les' fairy tail dilution ratios?
you have to triple them at minimum to handle a rag like that


get some great chems on your truck

Prochem Ultrapac and Powerburst....two of greatest in the history of the world
and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the new Prochem powder Olsen is hawking is a winner too
Prochem has the best chem line overall ..
Having said that, not "every" chem they make in the greatest.(their olefin pre-spray ain't chit)
Ultrapac (#711) kicks it's azz...and I ain't a fan of their All Fiber Resigoo either...but as a chem line "overall", Prochem is the best.

anyone that says different, don't know sheeit...and you can tell 'em I said so



..L.T.A.

 

[bob vawter]

and believe me.....LArEE knows sheeit.......

 

[Desk Jockey]

Yes but Larry NEEDS to quit smoking!!!!!!!!

and I only say that because I care......and to cause a little trouble too!

 

[bob vawter]

only a weak minded person would continue to smoke........

 

[Mardie]

only a weak minded person would continue to smoke........

Does that include gaggers ?

 

[Ralph Pastorelli]

We clean several town home developments and we have an agreement to inspect first and say weather to replace it of clean it. That would of been a replace carpet just by looking at it.

 

[Desk Jockey]

only a weak minded person would continue to smoke........

if your phone hasn't rang yet. It probably will soon! ; )

 

[bob vawter]

hey...the truf is the truff.....

 

[Dolly Llama]

only a weak minded person would continue to smoke........

you have to "want" to quit..i don't .
I know I "should" quit, and think about it a lot .
matter of fact, I was talking about Chantix today with Joni

but i really don't want to quit.
and every professional I've talked to has told me the same ...if you don't want to quit, no program will work



..L.T.A.

 

[Desk Jockey]

My wife took Chantix for 6- months but as you said she didn't want to quit. It was a year later that she quit cold turkey. That was 8- years ago.

You do have to want to and you will when you're ready. We all just want you to be ready.

 

[bob vawter]

my wife was the WORLDS WORST SMOKER........
she smoked for close to FIFTY YEARS...two pack a day!
one day, at her job the boss had a stop smoking mobile set-up
come to the office where she worked...
they took X-rays of everyone......
when the guy interviewed my wife...
he tol her that she had the lungs
of a twenty year old.........
she figured that was THE time to quit...
she been quit for almost seven years now!!
close to TWELVE YEARS for me......it jus took a heart attack!
anyone that sez they WANT to smoke......
is dumber than dumb!

 

[SamIam]

I like slop and gobble but prekleen with D'Limonene cuts grease better, get a killer rinse like slurry or high heat from chemspec boosted with some oxy like Mike said.

I like extreme clean it works great, But lately I just use prekleen boosted with heavy duty soil lifter on olefin nasties.

Like I said slop and gobbles good even boosted with hat sauce modifier, just doesn't cut like Prekleen and HDSL.

PS I don't have the luxury of a 180,000 btu heater so you guys who love it consider that.
