I mashed up a little video demonstrating how I do a stain removal on cloth. Let me know what you think!

What happened to the stain when you steamed it... And what happened to it when you vacuumed it? It is hard for me to understand this process. It seemed that the stain disappeared with steam but then it was wiped and vacuumed.

That was to remove any residual moisture and product to make sure the stain didn't re wick back to the surface.

On a related note.. I've recently been using 303 carpet and vinyl cleaner 1:10 and been getting almost exactly the same or better results than with roles for 1/10th the price.

Great video!!

It's the Dupray Tusca Evo with the Triangle Brush attachment.

When you spray the carpet cleaner on the area and scrub it breaks down the particles releasing them from the fibers of the cloth.

When you steam it you have a 316° steam at 70+ Psi. I used the Triangle brush for this. You wrap a MF around the end of it. The steam saturates the cloth and the heat is contained in the MF. The steam loosens the rest of the grime and picks it up onto the clean MF while wiping over. Just make sure your using clean MF's and you'll use a lot of them!

Then you follow with a clean MF towel to get any residue and moisture left over. Then you vacuum to suck any left over contaminated moisture to leave a clean fresh cloth that dries in 30 Minutes.

You should edit the video and remove the part where nothing happens for a very long time at the start of the video. Also there is no sound. If you don't want to do any naration, at least put some music on.

The actual demonstration is good. I would probably put some text explaining the process so people understand what is going on.

Was my first time editing with my GoPro so needless to say it was a trial video.

I use Sony Vegas Studio for editing, it's one amazing piece of software! Pretty cheap too, I think I paid a tad over 100$ for the package 2 years ago and it includes a sound editing software that is very good too.

One thing I forgot to mention is that you should put some marketing material in your videos (if you own a detailing company that is).
