I have been cleaning carpets,lounge suites etc for 15 years.The recommended method is to use an extraction machine using hot water and low foam carpet and upholstery cleaning chemical
The remaining detergent will pull dirt off of shoes. Detergents must be rinsed.
seems a wet vac or hot water carpet extractor sucking out all those dirty suds would be better than pushing a towel down on them.i think that would lift the dirt out
AKO SI-ANO ...Your right have they used a steam carpet cleaner that would have came out great ! Instead of trying to use a billion towels.. And he is worried of the suds damaging the extractor !The shampoo suds and dirt will not harm a extractor, that's its job, extract the rug shampoo and dirt..
AKO SI-ANO: I was thinking the SAME thing. Maybe use a steam cleaner to loosen the dirt, then apply some soapy water to further loosen the dirt along with some scrubbing action and then use a high power wet vacuum to suck up all the dirt.
Totally agree
Thanks
JOGO I was thinking the same thing.
i like the after picture it shows the magic of Paint
1st spray a degreaser all over carpets let set up for 3-5 mins.. 2nd use warm/hot water with dish or laundry or a soap of your choice in a bucket.. 3rd use a nice brush to scrub carpets ... 4th use dry/wet shop vac to suck up soap and water and degreaser ... 5th repeat process 3-4 times depending on severity of dirt. 6th finally dry with towel..Bang Biscuit carpets will look pro.... Always worked for me!!
didn't even show progress to the end result. how do we know you didn't use carpet dye? vacuum the soap up not wipe it. not trying to bash your video but could've been made so much better and wouldn't have all of these negative reviews.
A hot water extractor will do a better job
he's wasting his time scrubbing that carpet. should have gone straight to extraction. my civics driver side is as dirty as the car he's working on i've been through 5 tanks of cleaner on my bissil little green extractor and the water as finally turned from black to brown. no way he's getting that carpet clean with a brush and a bit of shampoo.
O yes!!!
@@MrSGL21 Hows that bissell little green extractor working for you? Been looking for a vacuum for car stains
@@MrSGL21 But then he's not shilling his product. This is a COMMERCIAL.
Use it with extraction.
I once removed the entire carpet out of a car, and cleaned it with like laundry soap, and a bit of dish soap i believe, and hosed it a lot and I removed so much from it. I had a brand new looking carpet in the end!
I’ve worked in the detailing bizz and that final “wipe” was basically brushing the carpet forward so it “looks” better or brightens up the carpet. Once he brushes the carpet back it still looks brown.
Pulling the seats for me is a way to really get at it throughly and when the seats are out you’d be surprised how much work gets done in a shorter amount of time.
I don't have an extractor but after scrubbing and wiping with a towel, would it be good to use a heavy duty shop vac to get any extra residue? Also, is it the same process for fabric seats?
Nice job! I love these auto detailing vids
I have a feeling they were sponcerd by the soap they used
"look at the suds pulling to dirt up!"
or they really just love soap
If the carpet is badly stained take it out, hang it up, add cleaner and waterblast... Let dry, condition and reinstall.
Yes it takes time with removing seats and trims but I think that for a presale it's the best way
Only blot after you have use the extractor, also a really good wet/dry vac 6.0hp will do great and then blot the water, if you are blotting and your towel is dirty then stop and clean and extract more
there is a easier way and more sanitary. using a steam carpet cleaner vac attachment in the car.
I'm pretty sure it was just as dirty, as it used to be.
Oh and it probably takes about thirty minutes to do one , imagine how long it will take to do the whole car (the after pictures where clearly edited)
+Mark Saber it's called dramatization
Mark Saber it was an add a very long add

If you look closely its because the da was only vibrating and not spinning and oscillating. Speed was way too low to agitate the carpet.
If that shampoo is "low ph balanced" then not ph balanced.
Villamor78 we are in a
That shit threw me off for a second. I was like “wth does that even mean?”
Great video, I really like how you worked on a car that had a dirty carpet. Unlike some videos where "other guys" work on relatively clean cars. Great job.
First I tried this meathod, but I noticed all the dirt I thought I was "lifting" was just setting the stain even worse. So I modified the setup, brushing the carpet fibers up before and during the first vacume then spreading soap using the hand brush and the DA as needed. Finally I did a final wetvac with a 1 1/2 inch hose.
Why not use a shop vac?
Why would you put all that soap in a small area? I doubt that will ever come out. I would just as soon see it diluted and sprayed around. Seems half the work was just getting the soap spread out.
cuz he's not trying to sell clean carpets, he's trying to sell a cleaner. big diff.
What kind of brush are you using Velcro or screw on
by mistke i left my windows open at night time n it rain n my carpet got demp a lil so i used soft n water n a cloth n scrubed to kill that mildew smell it dried after it tried one spot fees rough now wat shuld i do t get the carpet back the way it was
it looks like a pontiac grand am I like to use a orbital with a brush it lifts the carpet fibers up to get the deep dirt ..
whats that funky music you used when you did the montage,sounded like an old gensis game
I installed round brush on porter cable but I think no power on if I put in contact with carpet it stop. why?????
what attachment was on the random orbital sander?
Which hand machine n brush pad did you use..
I just brush it with dishwasher and degreaser then hit it with the pressure washer. Vaccum the water out and let the doors open on the car for a while for it to dry..faster better and easier
I agree on the wet vac use.
Works 10x better if you Flood/Saturate the carpet with cleaner... let it sit.. then use a trickling hose .. flooding it with water from the edges inward while sucking up with a SHOP VAC with Upholstery attachment........ rinse, repeat... then leave car doors open for 5-6 hours.. IT WILL DRY... Make sure it's a nice warm day.....
is that an angle grinder or one of those oscillating multifunction power tools? or is it a polisher?
do the automatic home carpet cleaners work? the hand held ones. seems much easier than this old fashioned way.
I do moblie valeting best advice steam cleaner or wet vac it.Took you so long to get it up and that carpet would off been still filled with bacteria
Hm, it looks so time consuming. I'd rather use a carpet scrub cleaner, which vacuums out the lifted dirts.
Would have been faster to replace the carpet!
I've tried that before. Hang the carpet vertically & hose the crap out of it. Works great. A pound of sand will fall out. Unfortunately, the plastic trim pieces you must remove will never go back like before. You'll have broken clips & they will be loose.
Apex Detail cost aboutv$1,000.00 to replace carpet
😂😂😂😂
Lee Morgan is it a bugatti god damn who’s charging that much to change a carpet it only costs 300$ for a carpet the max
Great review, now what you will recommend to clean my zip bells, my Mazda CX-7 is kaki color and the zip bells are getting pretty nasty . Any tips are appreciate it ...
What kind of orbital grinder should I get ? I want to try
What speed setting on the PC did you use?
Where can I get the brush on the Porter Cable
wouldnt it be better to use a shop vac than a towel?
How many times did you actually apply the shampoo and brush before you deemed the section of the car "clean"? I'm really impressed with most of your products, but that looked like a lot of work for just the passenger floorboard.
+Tyler Crane Not going to lie that carpet was really bad. We did have to go over it a few times really good. It was on an older Pontiac Grand am so I'm sure you can imagine how bad it may actually be in person lol. But it still came out pretty good!
+A Sandwitch I never trust when they cut the video and only show the end result.. Pretty clear they ran the hot water extractor over it.
black and white after pic lol!!!
I'm going to the store right now to buy a turk towel!
Folex: "Hold my beer!"
Thanks for the great tips, I have hope that I can remove my carpet stains now!
btw - Detail guy is cute too. =X
Little green machine quicker, easier, more effective?
PH Balanced :o/ Are we using this suff on our hair?
Where can you get that attachment to the porter cable for the carpet?
If you follow this link there are a selection of them if you scroll down past the pads. www.detailking.com/store-home/auto-detailing-equipment/random-orbital-polishers/cyclo-polishers/pads-bonnets-and-brushes/
what type of drill is that?
Dilute the solution in a spray bottle with distilled water to get even dispersement of your stain-lifting detergent. Follow up with hot water extractor to be done in less than a minute and charge your customer $50. Do the entire car for $200, include cloth seats if applicable & charge more.
I need the brushes!
what is the name of brush
Very labor intensive and as a high foaming cleaner. it will leave a large amount of residue. It would need an acid rinse solution with hot water extraction to prevent rapid resoiling !
only a rookie deet would do that over...and over...and over...etc... JUST STEAM IT IF IT'S THAT BAD...ASS!!! Will even bring coloration back!
yup
PTHD's channel maybe alot of us cant do that bc we dont a steamer...
Man that orbital attachment with the way we shampoo carpets at work would be amazing
Step One=Spray any good general purpose cleaner and soak area followed by hot waterStep Two= Scrub area with stiff brushStep Three=Vacuum with shop-vac
Use a steam cleaner wit a brush then use a wet vac to extract the dirt works all the time even a degreaser will work..
All you really need to do is use purple stuff or simply green and pour it onto the carpet and no use a scrub brush and when you are done scrubbing the carpet use a shop vac vacuum and suck up all the dirty foam that the scrub brush left behind. And the purple stuff or the simply green only cost a couple dollars and it really works and it's very easy to do.
I don't think I would use this cleaner.
Neither would I but even with another cleaner, no way I would have used that much. For that dirty carpet, I would have applied some cleaner, scrubbed, wiped excess, used the Tornador, used an extractor, then the Tornador again, and then the extractor again. Long process but cleaner carpet. Oh, and tell the owner, "ever heard of floor mats?"
looked like shit before you cleaned it, then it looked like diarrhea after you worked your magic
dang the after black and white looks hella clean good job king
which one is Before and After lol?
Looks good
think I would have soaped it up first then let it dwell for a few mins the shampoo should stop any dirt from reforming but by leaving it to dwell would bring more grime out
Have to call bs here guys. The yellowing in that carpet was not coming out In the video as he was cleaning and the only place it was out in was a still shot... carpet dye anyone? This method would work fine In a cat with soiled carpet... Not one like this where the carpet fibers are clearly roached...
can you buy the parts to
I see a lot of places scrub and scrub and scrub and use all these chemicals. It would be much easier to remove the seats and remove the carpet. Once that is done, you can hit it with some degreaser and soap then pressure wash it. Hang to dry and reinstall. Business wise, it would be faster,easier, and more cost effective. No need to spend hours scrubbing, using towels, using costly chemicals, and so forth.
+Federico Contreras Great tip! If you're able to build something like that into your price and are capable of doing something like that then yes. But some carpets especially in some higher end vehicles are not as easy to just remove and if not not reinstalled properly or if something has goes wrong on taking apart or the reinstall then you might be out some money lol. Great tip & thanks for sharing!!
True, but the suggestion of course is not a one size fits all. Some cars are easier to brake down than others. Always a good thing to hire previous audio installers as they know how to break down cars quite well. Also, the person giving the estimate must know how to estimate the cost of such processes. I would not break down say a Lambo or Bentley, but a Honda or GMC is quite easy to do and would yield more profit. Overcharge the expensive vehicles as more care is required and over estimate by say 15% on domestic or easy imports to play it safe in case something goes wrong. Once you have experience breaking down X vehicle you can lower the 15% over estimate to say 5% or no percent. Good luck!
You're trying to tell me the time it takes to pull seats center consoles door sill moldings and all of that(potentially risking having to replace those parts if broken) is more cost effective than taking a rotary buffer with brush attachment and using a hot water extractor is more time effective? Personally if i were to pay someone to detail my carpet i would 100% not feel comfortable with them taking out anything other than my seats!

Yes it is more cost effective. Trust me I know what I am talking about. What do you drive? A Bentley? Its a few bolts to remove front seats and a few bolts for rear seats. I could turn the argument around and tell you that if your under padding becomes soaked, you could be looking at rust damage. 99% of the cars on the market today are easy to break down and minimal work is needed to obtain an awesome finished product. This type of work is not for everyone and especially those who are unskilled. However, with the proper skill set, breaking down and removing a carpet in the majority of vehicles is pretty easy and the end finish is 100 times better. Similarly, it would be like cleaning a vehicles cloth seat when still attached to the car. Can you do it? Yes. Will it look good? Maybe, but removing the seat and treating stains and washing it with a pressure washer and leaving it to air dry would achieve a much better result. I've done it several times in my Jeep and others and the results are way better. To each his own, but you can't knock something you have no clue about. I doubt you are car savvy.....
What works really well is to lightly wet the carpet with a light degreaser and agitate the carpet with a firm bristle brush then extract the carpet with an extraction machine but don't wipe off the light degreaser as that will make life so much easier extracting the carpet
Why show an after pic and not the actual carpet. If the carpet looks like the pic we will see the same thing? I call bullshit!
idk why people don't use rubber floor mats.. that's the 1st thing I bought when I got my new car.
To much work would it be better if u take of the seats and take out the carpet and pressure wash it
Y no use a carpet extractor?
sodium bicarbonate and hydrogen peroxide handled mine. took 10 minutes with a scrub brush. '90s honda was Nasty.
Baking soda... just say baking soda.
Wouldn't it be better with an vacuum like a wet and dry shop vac?
this is surely its first clean after 10 plus years nothing could be that bad if cleaned regularly
why didnt you show the actual results toward the end instead of putting photo edited pictures.. hmm fishy.. dont hide things please we pay money for these kind of things..
To get it like the after you had to use a carpet chemical with peroxide such as Esteam Vanish or Pros Choice Red Relief or Pro s Choice urine stain remover . Use iron on damp terry towel then spray product in area and steam out for instant results or spray brush and and gone by the next day . Damn Im good !
Im use chip degreaser ,put water in carpet,extrac with vacum, 5 minut ready and super clean
Hey love your vids can you make them shorter and simpler plsss
What i saw...... 8 minutes of a product not working at all, then a suspicious side by side of a clean vs dirty carpet.
What kind of drill brush are you using..where to buy it.
That's The Porter Cable 7424XP Polisher (store.detailking.com/porter-cable-polisher)
With The Porter Cable & Flex Da Carpet Shampoo Brush (store.detailking.com/porter-cable-carpet-shampoo-brush)
Best possable cleanning of auto carpet i found was to remove the front seats (8 bolts) Remove the Bottom door trim (snap-out snap -in ) and the centre console (for me it was 6 bolts) and 2 bolts for the seat belt lock downs In all 20mins
Get a ride to the Coin op Power wash and soak your carpets in Soap and water Let it set 5 -10 mins and power wash the carpet really good .....Now my little tricks ( for stains pre scrub the stained areas with soap and HOT water ) make sure the power washer you use come with Hot water at the drying stage Hang it up somewhere outside facing the sun It will drip dry Or Hang it up and use a Wet vac with the brush adaptor >>>> Detail shops will not do this due to damages of your plastic trim and or safety of removing bolts from seat belts and seats IE ( you crash the seat breaks in the crash You sue the detail shop because they set the bolts Etc Etc ....Fully cleaning like new carpet cost me 6 bucks in coins and $6 for half a bottle of Carpet stain remover and a sunday morning
Why would you need to the brush adaptor if you're only sucking up excess water?
So did you pull the carpets out of the car completely?
Why didn’t you list the products youuse
A product like Tuff stuff, with warm water and rainbow quality vacuum cleaner. Will solve this issue without any problem. Use of polishers tools, for professionals use only. Nice video.....
Where can I buy that brush, I have a porter cable variable speed orbit polshig?
We have several different ones, this is one, search our site for more!
store.detailking.com/porter-cable-carpet-shampoo-brush
degreaser, a brush, and a vacuum would work 10x better. notice he never showed the carpet after he "cleaned" it
Why not show the after on video?
Finally, somebody detailing a car that's actually dirty.
let's take a town and rub all this back in to the carpet trying to wipe it up instead of using a shop vac and suckin it up..I mean just seems like common sense in my mind but hey he's the detail king that couldn't get the stain out
Wow, I actually brought this and made the stains even more visible and much worse… Do not buy guys, save your money…
What was the last part you said what ,so don’t use a extractor wile is dirty.
Sorry the language barrier!!!i just want to learn how to do it right
Agree with most of the comments here. There are better ways to do that. I normally spray my cleaner to loose the dirt, then brush, then spray shampoo and then vacuum with a dry-wet vacuum machine. If it's too bad like the one here, repeat the process spraying either shampoo or cleaner depending on how heavy is the dirt.
Definitely, you need and extractor or vacuum to do a better and quicker job.
nice video
Nice
Just use high traffic carpet cleaner, it works.
the footwell area looks just as dirty if not worse than how it was before the clean?? 🤷🏼♂️🤔
You do know that Porter Cable is a brand. name and not the name of the tool, right?
I took the carpet completely out and pressure washed it..it virtually looked brand new .and it was wors6then this carpet
Incredible to see how you clean this carpet. It can be done so much easier. This is the wrong tool for this cleaning job.
+FutureLine Roy There's many different ways to clean carpet, everyone has different techniques and tools that they use such as yourself I'm sure. This is just one of the many ways to do so that we find has always worked well for us. Sometimes the videos just don't truly do the process justice as it would in person lol. Thanks for watching!
