After vacuuming thoroughly, apply a detergent solution to the carpet and bonnet. Then remove the solution by using a bonnet or absorbent pad, which is attached to a pad drive on a slow speed (175 rpm) rotary floor machine.

As the machine agitates, the soil is loosened and absorbed by the bonnet. Pay attention to the condition of the bonnet as large soil accumulations will hinder the cleaning process. After bonneting, you must apply a neutralizer on the carpet using a pump-up sprayer. This method has a fast drying time – 30 to 45 minutes.

Hot Water Extraction Method:

After thoroughly vacuuming the carpet, apply a detergent solution to the carpet using a pump-up sprayer and give dwell time. Remove the solution by rinsing with hot water, using a portable or a truck-mounted extraction unit. Mist on a neutralizer after extracting.

Several extraction passes may be needed to completely rinse the suspended soil and detergent. The drying time for this method is 1 to 3 hours. To quicken the drying process, you can follow up with a dry bonnet and fans.

Dry Foam Cleaning Method:

This is also a minimum moisture type method. After vacuuming thoroughly, apply a dense foam to the carpet with a mechanical brush. The agitation of the chemical is done during the application process.
