Who needs an expensive extractor when a ghetto shop vac works just as good. Great Post GREG
Hey, if your wet vac has a vacuum lift of 102" and a 60 psi piston pump like a portable extractor, then you're fine. If not, regardless of how much you vacuum, you are leaving residue behind that you do not see. Despite looking clean, it's still there. What happens next is, when the person gets in with wet feet from the rain or snow, the remaining Oxy or APC residue reacts with the water from their feet a makes the carpet dirty at faster rate than if it was all extracted.
When you have carpeting cleaned in your house, the professionals use an extractor (not to mention the horror stories they told me regarding some of their customers using Oxy clean which is really a bleaching agent). So naturally, when you have the carpeting cleaned in your car (like your home), you hope (or rather expect) the professional uses an extractor.
Again, it boils down to using the right tool for the job. You choose not to. That's your right. You aplaud Greg Cavi. I do too. Given that he is in high school, I don't expect him to own an extractor since he is not a professional. But please refrain from making the obvious false comparisons between an extractor and a vacuum.
Your continued foolish obstinance only soldifies your ignorance in regards to proper, professional detailing methods and passing it off as acceptable. Maybe it's me, but if I saw the carpet cleaning professional working on my area rug under the coffee table with Oxy Clean and a wet vac, before I make him pack up and leave my home, I'd ask him why he was using a
ghetto shop vac instead of the proper carpet extractor tool to clean my rug.
Furthermore, please, on behalf of all DC members, re-size your images and post some new pictures instead of the same old interiors.
I'm sorry each time I have to school you like a petulant infant, but if you would not egg me on, or other members for that matter, your presence would be somewhat palatable. :ass
