How to Steam Clean your Carpet : How to Steam Clean a Carpet

[swillip48]

Can we rub our bare feet together?

[newschoolkirk]

First of all, this is not a steam clean. A steam clean needs a powerful truckmount to supply a constant flow of "boiling water". 280° water from a truckmount sanitizes, "hot" water from a faucet promotes bacteria and other undesired effects. 100% steam would liquify carpet. That machine has brushes that agitates dirt so deep into carpet backing even a truckmount cannot fully extract it. Also that machine cannot extract the "warm" water it puts down efficiently enough to provide a good clean.

[Freowanderer]

It does an OK job if you have a lightly soiled carpet, but if you have some real cleaning to do it just doesn't cut the mustard - very easy to overwet, leave too much detergent residue, set stains etc if you don't have relevant knowledge and training. I'm in Australia and to do a proper set up I'd spend around $100,000 to $150,000 for something half-decent (truck and equipment included). Why would I spend that money if a small machine worth $2000 would do the same job? Answer is, it doesn't!

[rjfdube]

I have been cleaning carpet for 30 years; Rug doctors and Walmart bought machines don't have the power or the ability to properly clean carpet. I have had customer call me a week after using one and was so molded they had to replace carpet. Pro machines remove moisture to the point it only takes from 1 to 8 hours to dry to the pad without air movement. Save your money and get better results; hire a locally owned independent professional. Stay away from large national companies.

[patizel1]

hey did you rent this? if so did you need a credit card or did you pay in cash, because i'm 16 and i don't have a credit card and i really need to clean my car with this machine's upholstery tool.

[tnguyen318]

How safe is it to be making carpet out of Polyester? It's a plastic that doesn't dissolve in your lungs.

[logtech663]

and we will check the oil and gas, next give it some choke and pull the cord >:D

Rug Doctor is not steam it is shampoo with water lol

[chunkybut555]

Are you slow? Just asking.

[underoatherchick]

Don't waste your money. They are crap.

[metra0808]

@underoatherchick fuck you!!

[A2ZCleaning]

good way to destroy your crpets

[MaNGoMoDZ]

this is not steam cleaning its shampooing the carpet

[tcsdlm]

Who ever would use a Chemdry service would probably get better results with a Rug Dr!

[vinsot21]

chem dry is the best instead of soap.

[vinsot21]

In combination with that machines, instead of soap I will use chem dry carpet cleaning solution, thanks to jacksonville city chem dry and also with you diana for demonstrating on how to use that properly, your demo is the best and is also the best

[seekhim777]

I rented a rug doctor at one point and i was renting a place,it took forever to get the place clean and the caprpet was still wet 2 days later.So now i'm in business for myself and i am certifed through the Government,i run a portable ,but no rug doctor.

[tamaman7777]

do yourself a favor call a IICRC pro in your area. You're going to have $75. tied up in a Rug Doc. A pro would have the carpet in your house cleaned by the time you get back from the grocery store with a rental. And it will look much better. Truck mount hot water extraction. I.E. steam cleaning is the best.

[1RoaringMonk]

steam would melt a carpet- what a bunch of crap

[jjafari]

@1RoaringMonk -I ran a steam cleaning biz for 10+ yrs and I promise you it does not melt carpet..what it does is break down dirt so it's easier to extract making it possible to use less chemicals to actually clean the carpet.Detergents are super hard to extract....that's why carpets re-soil quickly after Rug Doctor..extract not powerful enough..That said, if the pro you hire does a 1/2 assed job, you're better off with the Rug Doctor. Crappy results aren't as crappy at 1/2 the price.

[1RoaringMonk]

@jjafari water turns to steam at a temperature of 212°F steam cleaning is false advertising steam would melt carpet

[1RoaringMonk]

@jjafari hot water method is nothing more than spraying a hose on a carpet and sucking it off with a shop vac .Merchanical agitation is required to properly clean a carpet

[jjafari]

@1RoaringMonk - I never said you didn't need an agitator. In fact, you need a super agitator (ie. Rx20, Rotovac, etc), or else you're just wasting your money and your carpet.

[Eagle99001]

BE CAREFULL! I got trapped in the corner the first time I clean my carpets and had to call 911. They got me out through the window thank god

[grazzamon9]

@Eagle99001 that happened to me but when i was cutting the grass.. had to call the police to save me

[Eagle99001]

@grazzamon9 Thank God for the police and that you made it out all right. You must have terrified .

[grazzamon9]

@Eagle99001 yeah i dont think ive ever been so scared in my life 

[coleary2006]

@Eagle99001 = U called 911! That is crazy, that is not a real emergency - u could have walked on the wet carpet.

[Eagle99001]

@coleary2006 Yea but the solution bottle said not to walk on the wet carpet .

BTW I was just being funny

[Cherimoya9]

My cat ran out of the room when she turned the thing on.

[YouGlued]

my advice is to get rid of the carpet and get a tile or wooden floor. If you really like the feeling of a carpet, get rugs! having a carpet is first of all dirty, a waste of energy, money and time vacuuming and steam cleaning.

[MachoMan1862]

My motor is a 12 amp motor but it got burnt and doesn't turn on anymore it just makes a loud vibration kind of sound, I ran over the power cord by accident and it had a burnt smoke smell coming out of it, I wanted to know if I can buy a New Replacement motor or do I have to buy a new steam vac?? Thank You

[biggfoott1]

U R AWESOME MISTER !  NOT ONLY GREAT ADVICE BUT HONEST ! right on.

[PreludeSi91]

[rarityd]

I've used it and it works rather well for me. I used hot/boiled the water.  After used the Rugs Doc twices, i think she was moving a bit fast on the last part of this vid.

[biggfoott1]

IF U USED RUGDOC TWICE YOU SHOULD CALL YOUR NEAREST JANITORAL SUPPLY STORE ASK HOW MUCH 4 ONE GAL. BROWNING TREATMENT ($15.00) ...cause if you used the doc's (cleaning product) you just filled your rugs with soap twice ,,sticky hard to remove ---t.

"How to Steam Clean a Carpet"

Thats a carpet washer not a steam cleaner!

[AcidRageNZ]

it is cheaper to get some one in to clean your carpet

[SKoupitchen]

boring

[DJGRUMPY619MIX]

jjajaa at the 58 seconds you can see a flash on the window as soon as she turns on the machine it seems that theres something rong there jaja

[gosammy44]

Ignorance behooves you 5 year.

First of all, it's a freaking lie - that's not "steam cleaning". Secondly, if you think renting a rug doctor gets your carpet clean, you're the uneducated one.

Oh, by the way, I also have a college degree - major in Bus. Admin, minor in Econ. I will put my cleaning business up against any "expert village" cleaner any day of the week and twice on sundays, and I'll do a better job. Guaranteed.

[enzo150181]

i work in a store that rents the rug doctor and it works perfect i used it at home and is excellent.but what the ad here says steam cleaning WRONG no steam involved.also anyone can use it,if you can use a vacuum cleaner you can use the rug doctor

[biggfoott1]

M SURY BUT EVEN THE MOST INTELLIGENT PEOPLE IVE EXPLAINED THIS(soap overload to didn't have a clue they were wrecking their carpet ! IT ONLY DAWNED ON ME 15 YEARS AFTER KNOWLEDGE OF THIS SCANDLES PRODUCT. C EACH TIME YOU USE IT YOU UNKNOWINGLY ADD MO N MO O THAT NASTY SOAP , AND AS IT BUILDS UP YOU NEED TO USE IT MORE N MORE CAUSE THE MORE SOAP THE FASTER CARPETS GRT DIRTY. common sense n m a dumbass 4 not realizing sooner.BUTINEVERRENTEDTHATEVIL­LILMACHINE.theymake$bytossingy­ourcarpetripoffs

[Leonicdragon]

@enzo150181 Rug Doctors are absolutely HORRIBLE on your carpet! They brushes combined with the ridiculously long drying time tears up the pile and wears out your carpet . NOt to mention that most people don't flush out all the soap, so the carpet ends up getting dirty faster. Take it from an expert. If you want to protect your carpet, only use truck mounted steam cleaning.

[bharfarar]

I've rented Rug Doctor before. There is no way there is "steam" is coming out of the machine. The water is as hot as you can get it out of the tap. Steam cleaning is false advertising.

[5yearplan1]

It is better to do it yourself. This way you don't have a bunch of strangers you don't know, in your house. Some of these people who clean carpet look like ex felons. There is no need to have these people casing the joint, they might come back to rob you later. lol

[slkrick69]

cleaning your carpets yourself is worst choice you can make. the carpets are a major investment and you have no professional experience making your chances of damaging your carpet almost certain.

[biggfoott1]

WOULD YOU PAY $5.00 4 a VIDEO MADE BY A TRUE MASTER OF THE TRADE ? WITH 32years exp. THE VIDEO WOULD TELL YOU HOW TO, AND ALSO TELL YOU WHERE TO RENT THE REAL EQUIPMENT IN YOUR AREA ,ALSO TELL YOU THE RIGHT CHEMICALS TO BUY WHEN YOU RENT CLEANING MACHINE..

[recyclingismylife]

[biggfoott1]

THATs because they are x-cons . TRY TO GET SOMEONE W/5years plus exp. OR EVEN BETTER HIRE A GRAY HAIR W/15 TO 20 years EXP. BEST GET THE OWNER OF THE CO.

[grgrimes]

I gotta take a dump

[DobermansRock]

Does it take out blood very well?

[DudeDie222]

@DobermansRock Hoover SteamVac Dual V with their Spinscrub brushes and Dual V technology cleans out the blood and leaves your carpet almost fully dry!

[DobermansRock]

Sweet after the shooting we were having a hard time with the stains. Lots of elbow grease and gallons of soda water have put a big dent in the mess.

[DobermansRock]

Dam right and well said. To find 2 months ago.

[mre7472]

She's got nice boobs!!!!

[5yearplan1]

Wrong!  Anyone can clean their own carpets. That is why they rent the machines out. Also, a lot of people buy their own carpet cleaning machines. No one needs to call a so called professional to clean their carpets..lol Just like not everyone needs someone to landscape their yards. You can do it yourself.

[5yearplan1]

bryonrankin

Pliers to remove teeth.. You really sound stupid. You must be one of those uneducated people that clean carpets for a living. Please, carpet wasn't meant to last forever. Clean it a few times, but in a couple of years, we homeowners replace it or have tile or wood flooring installed. Stop acting like carpet cleaning is a professional job. lol

[5yearplan1]

bryonrankin

Yeah, $250,000 my ass. Well I am a homeowner and I only have a limited amount of carpeting in my house. Most of my house is either tile or wood flooring. But the little carpet that I have, I clean it myself. It isn' t a skilled job, so I guess you wasted that college money.. Dufus.

[philcoool]

TRUE LOOK AT AARON CARPET CLEANER

[philcoool]

i am aaron carpet cleaning in birmingham uk,i find it strange proffesionals argue with the public we all have choices wheather we want to clean it our self or get some one else carpet is a strong material a little common sense not getting it too wet ,and let it dry you wont go far wrong .(ps i fit my own gear box in my van i am not a mechanic i also do gardening,removals i dont earn the $250000 your friend does but iam sure some of his potential might think when read his message

[philcoool]

TRUE CHECK AARON CARPET CLEANER

[darylsupvac]

Yeah these things really aren't that great. If you're gonna do it yourself, rent the Kent Carpet Express, rotary brush better then back n forth brush. We used to rent these in our store, but no damn good.

[quackenbacker]

straight over the cable you dumb stupid blind fuck

[YourDarkAccomplice]

Dude you've got some serious anger issues. Relax it was just a demonstration.

No one is perfect.

lol, next time I'll make sure to contact the woman and tell her to do it right or she might anger the uh.. what? The carpet cleaner King? XD

[carpetdoctors]

How is it a steam cleaner when it doesn't produce steam????

[supaflywilkins]

stam is produced when it dosent work and you get pissed off

[ryesaw1984]

google "biotrauma cleanup" for the stains you dont want to clean yourself.

[OhItsJustMe2]

Install tile ceramic instead and mop it with a $5.99 mop.

[OhItsJustMe2]

Ooops. Ceramic tile LOL!

[gosammy44]

I love it when people use rug doctors, or any "do it yourself" carpet cleaner. Why? I am an IICRC certified cleaner - inevitably, these people end up calling me a week later saying "I cleanded the carpet myself, and now I have water marks. Can you get them out? It took 4 days to dry."

[yungfresh2def24]

aye dont rent dis rug doctor.. its suck..shud be called the rug nurse

[thecarpetking]

its actually cheaper to call a pro with a truck-mount machine, the cleaning will be 10 times better, and you won't waste all the time farting around with a spotting machine.

[playeron87]

don't use this.... it will leave soap residues on your carpet... soap=attract soil....

[cococoquito]

Who care morrons, this lady is HOT. Estas rica mamita chula.

[mikegjr24]

Listen lady.....pay a REAL professional with a truck mounted unit so you don't RUIN the carpet!! By the way it is not soap....it is detergent and you leaving residue in the carpet!!! And yeah is that going to take a month to clean the whole house???

[tsh316]

Just because you can rent a machine doesn't mean you know how to clean carpet. Wait until people find out HOW LONG it takes to clean their house with this thing!!

[oleschoolsaturday]

Wow, all that work and in the end all you have is a wet dirty floor that takes hours to dry. Ninja and truckmounts are the only way to go lady.

[apalachianamerican]

go ahead and soak your carpet with this , when you have a mold problem simply pick up the phone and call in the pros, do you people really think you can buy this $299.00 dollar item and clean like pros, theres a reason pros use $30,000.00 equipment.. clean with it and let the mold begin. did i also mention i am a professional cleaner too ..water damage /mold cost more to clean. no steam no clean..

[gduke91]

Go ahead lady, teach people how to ruin their carpet. I'm a professional carpet & upholstery cleaner. Those machines are JUNK. That's ok I"ll charge hundreds to get it back in shape.

[lionking91790]

ok lady that thing suxz. why didn't you show

how many time you got dump the water. ha??
