    Carpet extraction I need some tips

    Carpet extraction I need some tips-img_1720-jpgCarpet extraction I need some tips-img_1721-jpgCarpet extraction I need some tips-img_1722-jpgCarpet extraction I need some tips-img_1728-jpgCarpet extraction I need some tips-img_1729-jpgCarpet extraction I need some tips-img_1726-jpgCarpet extraction I need some tips-img_1730-jpg I started doing all by hand to get the loose stains up, followed up with my mytee extractor. I use meguiars apc by hand but with the extractor I use super degreaser but I wasn't able to get all of the stains out. With both chemicals I brush the cloth to agitate

    There was no way to know what these were, the lady said they were mostly just water. But there was a puddle of oil in the carpet I couldn't get out what would remove oil?

    I thought about turning it down but for 120$ I figured I'd give it a go

    I also give you credit for taking on this interior, for me or my crew to even touch this I would charge TOP DOLLER. Anyway tho oil stains that have sat for a long period of time are never going to completely come up, I always tell our new customers we can remove almost any stains but any type of Automotive grease or oils are not removable. I would use a drill brush attachment and pretreat the area with warm water and spray apc and degreaser, once agitated with the drill brush then use the mytee to extract and if that doesn't work then nothing will I would then look into carpet dyes but judging by the photos of this vehicle the person isn't going to pay for that type of service since they don't care about there belongings.

    The reason why the stains are there because they are wicking up. These stains are gone while wet, but will come back when the seats are dried. Trust me, I did a lot of cars that were worse than that condition and took me about 20 hours to extract the carpets and seats alone. You will need to re extract the areas until no trace of dirt and grime is lifting. The best combination when dealing with dirty seats and carpet is using a high quality steamer like the dupray hill injection. Spraying apc will not cut it and will require a steamer to break down the grime. Extractor/steamer with a brush attachment is the best combination.
