How to shampoo carpets and use shop vac to extract

Thanks!



just curious if those models provide adequate power. I didn't see many specs on it.

I don't see why it wouldn't. I have a Shop-Vac hanging on the wall that

does. I'm sure this has to be better. In June or July, they always have a tent sale. When I went I saw 20 of these laying out for $75 a piece.
 
I like to spray down the carpets and use a scrub brush and really work the carpets well and then drive to my local spray and wash and use their wet/dry vacs. They have a ton of suction and do a relatively good job for only .75 cents.
 
fergnation- Heh heh, I no sooner made mine resistant to disassembly than I needed to disassemble it! Yeah, that *is* the downside. Way back in the day they were slightly different and stayed together, but some bright boy had to go and change the design :rolleyes:

I'd give some thought to emptying it when it's full of nasty (and I do mean *NASTY*) wet stuff. I would only want a *dry* vac hanging on the wally, and to be honest, I wouldn't want that as I'd make a duststorm of a mess emptying it.



For dumping wet vacs/extractors, I want to be able to exercise precise control over where that stuff is going (hopefully all in the utility tub, or right down the floor drain, but it doesn't always work out that way :o ).
 
I'll resurrect this thread from the dead. I was looking for some info on power steamers and came across the thread.

I've used my 5hp wall vac from Lowe's for a few years now. Smallest crevice tool helps like already mentioned.

The mats are the only thing I soak and hose down. Even though they're soaked, the wall vac still gets the majority

of the water out. By the time my customers come for their cars, those mats are dry to the touch.
