What kind of carpet???

[floorguy]

This stuff is 30+ yrs old...still looked pretty decent considering...

WHITE :shock:

Some of the worn areas was like a dogs matted fur yet it DID NOT SMELL LIKE WOOL


also why would the prespray actually make it look worse??? did it lift the dirt???

on a side note....this woulda been a good one for the 360 me thinks

Did you do a burn test?

 

[Hoody]

Soiling suspension. Not to mention that old crumbling pad particulate in the backing probably wicked to the surface during the dwell time.

Re: What kind of carpet???

Shouldn't you have figure that out BEFORE you cleaned?

Somehow I dont think the carpet is from the 70's. Judging from the furniture its an old couple that you cleaned for? They may be off on the age. That looks like they shuffle their feet when they walk. Dry soil removal is key here. Do you use 40 volume?

Great work Doug!

They were still making 100% acrylic 30 years ago. If it looked like wool and matted...

 

[Harry Myers]

Most likely acrylic with jute backing.

I don't normally do one either - only when I'm curious as to what type of carpet it is...
