That guy needs a Zipper wand! His pants and shoes must have been soaked after that.

Everyday is Saturday.
He was running the rinse pretty strong I think, would have been neat to see if it did indeed wick back.

All you uber-experienced hands need to explain to us newbies what he's doing wrong and what he should be doing instead.....

Everyday is Saturday.
Dry strokes are super needed with his flood the carpet teqnique, using the rinse to continue to clean with each wet pass over and over on the same stroke path.
In reality he needed many dry strokes and a post pad would of helped greatly.
But who knows, many cleaners don't do either and get away with it on the regular.
In a place like Arizona or albequerque I could see getting away with that every day with the aid of an airmover blowing for 15 minutes or so after the job is complete as the carpet would dry super quickly.

I'm sorry I responded as I see you asked for experienced an all. But my answer will be close to accurate maybe?

Spraying on the forward stroke
No symmetry to his cleaning pattern
Flood and cuff under the door was ridiculous
Soaking the clay tile for the world to see..
Almost positive no pre scrub.was done
No where near enough dry strokes
Far too much rinse agent
Boss with camera doesnt know enough to critique..

Everything looks pretty new and way too much detergent coming through the wand. Needs dry strokes and on the trigger way too much, and I try to never stand on cleaned carpet while wanding like he is. You track from dirty pre=treated carpet to clean you might get a customer calling you back saying they see footprints. I wonder what his potion is because it still was eating that dirt up pretty good. One last thing I have a feeling his psi was 600 or higher the way the steam was shooting back at him.

We first elevated vacuuming to the level of an art form and now wanding is art too.
I'm thinking 175 scrubbing is next.

Wernerizing is indeed an art form....

He's definitely going to leave railroad tracks. His pressures so high he's misting the air. Don't believe that was steam. He never did a dry stroke at all. Funny thing is the person may have called someone else to fix it and they think it dried fine.

That cleaners says he has been cleaning carpets for 17 years!
Another example of Years on the Job doesn't equal years of Experience.
When some people say: "I've been doing this for X amount of years" I ask--- "How many years have you been doing is Correctly!? when Asked I say: "I started in 1989 but didn't start to do it correctly until 1995."
Our tools and Chems have changed over the years and our methods or techniques should change with them IF needed. That's why its important to never stop learning about our profession.

I think of the Vince Lombardi quote that corrects the false idea that "practice makes perfect".

Yes as more jets means less impact.
300- 400 should be all you'd need

Also depends on what the flow amount is.
Two jets can be very different when flow numbers are raised.

Recovery capability would be my biggest concern.
If your machine is capable of recovering higher pressure and flow then there is less of an issue of output. With the exception of distorting at extreme pressure.
