How to clean this coke bottle carpet...........

[joeynbgky]

Any tips? Chems, heat? or just clean as usual?

He probably means it is made from coke bottles (poly carpet).

Over glorified polypropylene. Treat it like Olefin, its oil loving, typically crushes and mats horribly. Stains come out well, but it isn't very resilient.

All true, but it also dulls out in traffic areas quickly.
Looks dirty even when clean..

Actuelly Glorifited Polyester Oh Hooody one. PET

But the characteristics are spot on. the Fiber tends to scatch very easily and holds alot of soiling in the scatches.

I'd reccomenda a good oxizder/grease cutter combo.

PET does abrade easily and even more frequently looks bad due to crimp loss. Heat can be an issue if your hot solution line and quick connects lay on the carpet for some time, but the heat of your cleaning solution won't be a problem.

A CRB will dig crap out like there is no tomorrow but if you have a 360i you'll be a HERO!

It all cleans the same, just move a little slower on some of it as needed.

It was the same poly carpet we always clean!! I thought that but this manager said.......... since the owner of the property owns carpets of dalton as well... he was the only one who could get this stuff.......... LOL....... It was what i thought it was... The 360i cleaned it well.. carpets only 3 months old and was flat as hell.. thank god for the rotovac, it brought the new carpet back to life
