"I had my first strip and wax job and it happened to be a VERY picky Client. Well I have the advantage of living very close to Steve and Jean. Steve offered to come and help. With Steve's help we completed the strip and wax job. I learned so much and I am extremity grateful for Steve and his commitment to helping his members succeed.

Well that is how one should feel about The Janitorial Store. 'only at THE JANITORIAL STORE'. Where else can one go to find the wealth of information that you provide daily? Where else can one have experience people like you and people like Sharon Cowan, Dick Ollek and Debbie Sardone, just to name a few, share their knowledge of how to run a successful business. These are people who have been there and done that. Thank you and continue doing what you do best."

VIDEO: How to Clean Residential Carpet using Clean Master's Express Multi-Surface Floor Cleaning System

Printer-Friendly Format

In this video, you'll learn how to clean residential carpet using the hot water extraction method, followed up with a dry bonnet. The machine being used is the Clean Master's Express Multi-Surface Floor Cleaning System, which does an excellent job on both carpets and hard floors. See how fast and easy it is to use for carpet cleaning. This video is about 16 minutes long.

Video Recap:

*Items needed for carpet cleaning: Cleaning machine, pre-spray, neutralizer, solution hose, vacuum hose, upholstery tool, carpet bonnets, carpet rakes, carpet fans

*For the CleanMaster Express machine, attach the RX20 heads--lubricate ends, oil gaskets, do not cross-thread, lock in place. Tilt the machine to the right so that the oil does not get into the gear box on the left side.

*To prepare for cleaning, check the solution tank, recovery tank, and connection hoses. Fill the solution tank with water and attach the electrical cord.

*Add a booster to the pre-spray to loosen oils. Pre-spray with an even, overlapping coat and avoid baseboards, walls, and furniture. A #5 tip will allow you to move very quickly. Let the chemicals do the work by waiting for about 5-10 minutes.

*To extract, push the machine forward and backward. Use the trigger on the handle to release water or you can set the switch to automatic. Do not overwet the carpet and make extra dry vacuum passes. Go over high traffic areas thoroughly.

*For stairs, you can use a stairway wand or an upholstery tool. The upholstery tool will allow you to get both the tread and the riser easily.

*Vacuum out as much water as possible and then use a slow speed bonnet machine with a dry cotton bonnet. Bonneting will help the carpet dry more quickly, especially in areas with high humidity. Flip the bonnet over when it gets dirty.

*Mist neutralizer with a #5 tip and a pump-up spray bottle. Be sure not to get any on the baseboards, walls, and furniture.

*Rake the carpet and stairs to help bring up the matted areas and get the fiber to stand up properly.

*Set up carpet fans to speed dry time.
