Greasy restaurant carpet in Jackson Hole, WY meets very low moisture oscillating pad carpet cleaning.

Have you ever been into a restaurant and noticed that the carpet looked trashed?  I really feel sympathy for restauranteurs that have carpet for flooring in their establishments.  Without proper walk-off matting out of the kitchen and into the front door, their work is cut out for them.  You have the grease from the kitchen getting tracked out all day/night long from the wait staff, and then you have the customers coming in from the parking lot which is usually asphalt, and a lot of restaurants that are in strip malls like this one are not allowed to have a large mat out front to wipe off the asphalt oils from peoples' shoes to prevent it from getting onto the carpet.  This post is about a problem that we helped a restaurant owner in Jackson Hole solve in a mere few hours.  I first noticed this carpet when I was cleaning an adjacent commercial building this past spring when I stopped in for lunch.  I asked the owner if he would like an offer to clean his carpet.  I was astounded when he had said that he had paid to have it cleaned by a local well known carpet cleaning company in Jackson Wyoming.  I looked around and blurted out that it looked like crap!  Never one to miss an opportunity to insert my foot into my mouth, I left the restaurant and as I walked away I thought to myself that I must have offended the poor guy and thought I would call on him in a few weeks or so to talk about fixing this problem. 

At the time of this encounter I had just ventured into the very low moisture method of carpet cleaning that we are using now.  If I had been hired the next day I most confidently would have gone in there with my truckmounted steam super extractor and melted the grease out and taken it with me, only to have been called back in a few days to do it again like the first guy... 

Really greasy carpet when cleaned with hot water extraction will always re-soil.  Why?  The grease gets so embedded into the backing of the carpet that as the surface gets steam washed and vacuumed by the truckmount, the backing still has a lot of grease in it.  The surface fibers dry faster than the backing and then the process of wicking takes hold and voila!  the grease gets pulled up the strands into the face fibers and you get to start all over again.  Fun huh?  This stuff needs to be taken off in layers, and unless you hook up some serious heated fans you will fight it and fight it.  How do I know?  I've done it lots of times this way, and clients do not like to pay for call backs, and I don't like to do them either.  Neither party wins with a call back. 

As time has gone on this year with the introduction of our new very low moisture carpet cleaning process, we have gotten very comfortable with the encapsulation detergents that are available and feel that we have a good enough handle on which cleaning solutions to use when and where.  Here are some pics to document how this job went...

We moved all the tables and chairs and vacuumed all the baseboards. This is standard operating procedure for Restore Your Carpet.

The lighting in this restaurant was really bad for my camera-phone. Some of the other ones are more telling.

We moved the tables and chairs into the walkway , then vacuumed the other side. You can see the line on the right where we had wiped the grease away.

There really isn't much more to say after showing the video of this process.  We basically have found a way to wipe away the grease and crud that a truckmount could not do.  We have done this in the commercial carpet cleaning application as well as residential.  Basically this is physics.  We are combining the laws of physics with our extensive knowledge of cleaning solutions to get an amazing result.  This technology has not been given the credit that it deserves, and I hope to be one of those that helps move the process along in making encapsulation(very low moisture) carpet cleaning more respected in this industry for clients and professionals alike.

If you are interested in our commercial carpet cleaning services in the Jackson, or Star Valley, WY areas, give us a call, we can Restore Your Carpet.

Local dentist office berber carpet...RESTORED!

9/23/2012

I have cleaned the berber carpet in this office now for the 4th time, and it has NEVER come as clean as it has this time.
Hi.  It is Sunday afternoon and I feel like blogging some jobs, so here goes.  In the last six months I have been buying more and more very low moisture carpet cleaning equipment.  I just feel that the industry will end up here anyways with water conservation mindedness becoming more and more important.  There are so many different types of chemicals out there that it will take some time to find out what works best in which situations.  We have tried many different products with various results, and this job was such a big difference that I thought I would make a post about it. 

Berber carpet is pretty unique.  Most carpet cleaning companies in Wyoming will tell you that they can clean berber with a truckmounted steam extractor, and yes, it can be done.  However, I believe that it can be done better with our very low moisture carpet cleaning equipment.  Reason being is that experience has shown me that after a few dozen jobs under our belt with this new system, I can see a big difference.  I like to get behind the ROTOVAC 360 power wand with 230+ degrees of steam and some serious suction and steam blast carpet clean.  It must be a "Man with toy," thing.  In terms though of cost of operation, time of work, and quality of the job, the very low moisture equipment that we now have takes the cake. 

I have cleaned this dental office in Afton, WY for the 4th time now.  The first time we cleaned it, they had mentioned that no other cleaner had gotten it as clean as we had.  The next couple of times the carpet had gotten clean as well, and this last time, I received the phone call, the client stated that the carpet was, "Really dirty this time and it cannot wait for our bi-annual appointment."  This carpet is not the ideal carpet type for this application, it is a higher looped berber and there is a lot of fiber crush going on.  Fiber crush is when the fibers get so saturated with soils, dirt, and foot traffic, that they lay flat and do not fluff back up when vacuuming.  This leads to fiber damage and irreparable damage to the material of the carpet.  I have a few pieces of equipment to deal with this situation and to be honest, I spent more time on this job than I should have, but I could see so much potential in the outcome that I tried different things for future reference.  Here are a few more before shots...

Picture
You can see where the couches go, and where the walkways are in this shot. Lots of dark soiled colors in this shot.
Picture
This is the after shot. You can still see some crushed fibers, but in terms of color, this thing really brightened up!
Picture
This is the after shot of the lead picture. I don't care who you are, or what you are using, you CANNOT get this result with glued-down berber with a truckmount. I can get 250+ degrees F with mine with a power wand ROTOVAC 360, and it doesn't shine like this does.
Picture
This hallway is half clean, half not. The lighting is not ideal for the crappy smartphone that I use for pics. The naked eye was a lot more noticeable.
The bottom line for this post is this.  Restore Your Carpet can totally restore carpet to as good as new.  The very low moisture equipment that we use is not the end all, be all for all situations, but it is pretty impressive to me, and I am very hard to please when it comes to equipment and cleaning results. 

If you or anyone else you know has some berber carpet that needs some cleaning/restoration, give us a call, we can Restore Your Carpet.
