    I'll spray DP interior cleaner on the carpet, agitate it, pour some HOT water in my mighty pro, and extract. It works wonders for me plus my customers like the smell of bananas.
    Get the floor mat and place your extractor/vacuum at the far right corner and drag it diagonal towards you, and you'll make a 4" line, now from the bottom where you ended follow it back up opposite from which you started, and so forth..Walla fresh cut carpet "look" lol
    I don't want it to look wet, I want it to look Soaked!

    Did you find APC+ to work any better than APC?

    Also, where do you get W2?

    I hate when you go to do someones carpet and the more you scrub the more the stuff comes out and it seems like it gets worse the more you scrub. make sure you get the right dilution because if you dont you will not clean properly and too much will look like a 13 years boys jeans after being on the internet when his parents are not home.

    Re: Carpet cleaner..

    When you guys use APC's don't you have a huge problem with resoiling?

    I use carpet cleaning specific chemicals, like encapsulation chemicals or presprays along with my extractors. Floor mats trap soils like crazy. You need to vacuum them like crazy, heck even beat them with a stick to loosen the dry soil before I hit it with any water or chemicals. If you don't get the majority of the dry soil out all your doing is making mud. To get those lines in the floor mats all you have to do is take a fairly stiff bristle brush and run down one time then the next line up and so on alternating the pattern.

    Hello,
    I use a carpet cleaner named CIF. It's a chemical cleaner but not so hard that damages your carpet. I use it from almost last 6 months. The cleaner is so effective and available at every store or super market. I think you should try this.....
