You will need to re extract the areas until no trace of dirt and grime is lifting.
    Gotcha, after about 5 hrs I left I told the dude before we started it wouldn't be perfect but it would be 80% better

    Re: Carpet extraction I need some tips

    Here is after 20 hours of extraction, steaming. Seats are perfect with no oil stains or any stains at all. I rarely use apc/meguires degreaser for the seats and carpets. If you want to know what chemicals I use, you can feel free to pm me! Nice job tho and that was one horrendous interior. Hopefully you made some good money.

    Carpet extraction I need some tips

    120$ for 5 hours of work? How does that even make since? Deff should have charged $100 hourly rate.

    Re: Carpet extraction I need some tips

    If you are good at your craft you can charge anything. Places near me in PA charge around 100 to 150 for a interior detail. I charge 5x or 10x more for dirty cars than others. I sent you pm!
