Best carpet/upholstery cleaner?

[Audios S6]

For those that use folex in steamers do you dilute or just use stright folex?

Please define 'steamers'.

Most here would consider a steamer to be a smaller boiler with a trigger attachment that actually produces steam for cleaning purposes. Putting anything but distilled water in this would be bad for the system.

Some also may use the term carpet steamer as interchangeable with a hot water extractor. I wouldn't put folex in a hot water extractor either, it wouldn't be cost effective compared to pro carpet products that are highly dilutable and better suited to rinsing. I will use either clear water or a fiber rinse in my extractor tank.

Generally you would spot treat with folex (or other spotter), pre-spray with your desired pre-spray product (could be folex), aggitate, then rinse (with fiber rinse or clear water) and extract.

Don't use folex or any other chemical in a steam cleaner. Only use water preferably distilled.

Prayers, but they don't usually work by themselves on fabric stains.

An acidic fiber rinse product in an extractor is your best bet, may take several applications, along with prayers.

Also dry it as fast as you can with air movers

Hello,
Thanx for the information of the product,
My technique is very simple. I use a mixture of vinegar, lime and soda at the ratio of 2:2:1. Add the mixture to mild water. It really works you can easily get so good result.....

What is 2:2:1?

What is 2:2:1?

It's his mix's ratio. Two parts vinegar: two parts lime: one part soda.

I've had a few filthy cars where I removed 95% of the stains yet the customer sees one left behind and acts like I didn't do crap. What is the best product to use? I use LAs Awesome carpet cleaner or LAs all purpose cleaner mixed with their oxygen power and it does great. What techniques do yall use?

I've tried the Brite max works pretty good.There's a couple of old school method's one is blowing out the stain with compressed air or use lacquer thinner .You will be amazed how much lacquer thinner will pick up .Use a dry terrycloth and blot stain or on some fabrics you can rub.Identify what kind of stain it is may need a protein remover or other chemical besides just a fabric cleaner.

Never use vinegar in a car it's probably the worst smell that lingers.Are these wicking stains?If so you need a good extractor as a start.

Where's the water mix? 1 gallon, 100 gallons?
