Nasty Carpet Before and After Shots

Carpet Cleaning is all about getting the correct chemicals for the job to dissolve whatever is in / on carpet. Dwell time is crutial as it needs time top break up the soil. The worse the soil, the longer the dwell. And multiple application/extraction session may be needed on stuborn soils. From the looks of the pictures, your chemicals nailed it!

Next flushing the soils and vacuuming (extracting them out.)

In cleaning carpet like what Dyane posted you need to be able to emulsify the soil. The chemical, heat from the extractor both accomplish this and the injection of 250 PSI of heated water, separates the soils from the carpet fibers, and the vacuum removes the dirty slurry from the carpet.

The Extractor you purchased, (8/17/2009) was a very high performance and capable model, but without the correct chemistry, you would not have been as massively successful removing the embedded soils as you were!

Those pictures make me what to but PB carpet products for sure!

Good Job!

I`m sure the extractor played a huge role in the results that I was able to achieve. It sprays at 250 psi and gets the water really hot. Using hot water only barely did any cleaning but magic started happening when I added the extractor formula and it only took 1oz per gallon.

Great job on the carpet, big difference. What extractor are you using?
 
Looks awesome ! Looking forward as I`m sure many others are to the new formula to add to our arsenals personal and pro.

Looks to be industrial grade carpet which should be easier to get the mess out of compared to standard house carpet. Also interested in hearing about the extractor.
 
Dwayne@Poorboy`s:
Who is the manufacturer of the carpet extractor and what model number/name is it that was shown in this thread and pictures?? I did not see that mentioned anywhere within this thread.

When will this "NEW" carpet cleaner become available for sale to the general public? I assume it is designed for specifically for extractor use and that it is still in the beta-testing phase (IE, that the final formulation may be "adjusted/tweaked" based on results and feedback from your real world beta-testers.) Will this replace the current Poorboy`s Carpet Cleaner that was recently introduced OR will this be another separate product offering??

Some "features" or characteristics of any carpet cleaning chemical that are important to end users:
1) Compatibility with stain pre-cleaners of all sorts
2) Ability to clean and break down embedded soil/debris (IE; deep clean)
3) Compatibility with higher heat if being designed for use with extractors versus hand-brushing in cold water (or having the ability to do both!)
4) Rinse-ability upon extraction and not leaving cleaning residue behind on carpet fibers
5) Carpet fiber treatment and ability to soften the fibers
6) Pleasant smell or fragrance left behind AND how long it lingers or lasts (or maybe having NO fragrance at all, in this day of fragrance-sensitivity)
7) Dilution ratios and hence, it`s cost-effectiveness-to-performance (IE; a good value from the (paying, profit-generating) consumer`s perspective, leading to future (repeat)purchases in this and other offered products, which has been a hallmark of ALL PoorBoy`s World products)
If I sound like a marketing guru or product development strategists, I am not. These are just common-sense carpet cleaning chemicals characteristics that end users have in mind, at least from my perspective.

The machine is a Pacific Deluxe 15RH. Steve has had it since 2009 and it`s a beast.

Since this was just an initial test, there is no release date planned at the present time. Of course this may change if there is enough demand for an extractor formula from Poorboy`s World and further testing and development proves this to be a worthy product. This extractor formula is one of many products that we are testing and I was impressed with the results as much as I was disgusted with the filthy carpet. I thought the results were dramatic enough to share and I`d love to find a mini van that is even worse for my next test subject.

If this product does come to fruition, it cannot replace the new Poorboy`s Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner because this is a product designed exclusively for heated extractors whereas Carpet & Upholstery Shampoo is a spray, scrub, vac product. Totally different market because not everyone has a carpet extractor.

I`d be interested in finding some testers who are working with the smaller Bissell extractors on tough jobs to see if this is a product that could make their work easier and efforts more effective.

I think I might just be a candidate;)
 
I probably will never get an extractor other than the Bissel Mean Green. I hope you find someone to test out the new formula. It looks amazing.
 
Dwayne:
I just looked on-line for the extractor you used, and it`s a $3,000 unit with the heater option. That`s more money than most hobbyist/weekend warrior detailing aficionado will want (or can) to spend for an extractor. That said, good commercial extractors offer a lot higher heated water and extraction lift (vacuum or suction power) than the home extractors or carpet cleaners that many use, like the Bissell Pro-Heat Little Green Machine, needed to properly clean carpet fabrics in an efficient manner. It`s also the reason why some detailing hobbyist may be "disappointed" that certain interior fabric stains will not some out, or that carpets or seat fabrics do not look as "clean" as some of the pro detailers who use commercial extractors, like Mytee or Dupree or Sensei or DurrMaid, to name a few.

This thread is about a new carpet cleaning chemical for those extractors and I think there is a market for this, not just in the car-care business, but in the (much larger) commercial and residential carpet cleaning business as well. The "problem" is name-recognition and association with carpet cleaning. There are a plethora of commercial carpet-cleaning chemical manufacturers, and even if you develop a superior cleaning product (which, by this thread`s pictures looks extremely promising) crossing over into that commercial market may be difficult to break into, as Poor Boy`s World is associated with car detailing and not carpet cleaning. I would hope, though, that you and your company will actively continue to pursue development of this carpet cleaning chemical for extractors. Pro vehicle detailers can use all the help they can get. And if by chance this product does pan out, word of mouth advertising may very well translate into the commercial carpet cleaning market. I think you know how big that is.

I know as a (small) detailing hobbyist how many car-care products I use in cleaning my own home, but then many of us are OCD (obsessive-compulsive detailers, NOT disease(d) when it comes to cleaning ANYTHING. Just food for thought!

Hey Lonnie,

Yeah this is a pretty big unit we have here that not everyone has access to. I`m not familiar with all the extractor brands that you mentioned but they may have some models that can provide great performance.

We are looking forward to finding out how the smaller machines like the Bissells will do when a few testers get some samples in their hands. If someone has a similar job as mine to do I`m pretty sure some scrubbing may be needed and extra time as compared to my machine. For $3000 I didn`t have to scrub at all! lol

I agree that there is a huge market out there for good cleaning products. This is still initial testing and time will tell once others get a hold of the product.

Yes, it is a monster and I saw it at work at a small detail shop in NY and knew I had to have one if I was going to have a machine (at the time my wife had a minivan that was beyond what most detailers ever see in a life time, there are probably pictures in the archives of things that were unidentifiable that were found under the seats :yikes:

The Extractor product in use here was not designed with my machine in mind, but for the machines you mentioned above ... as one of our first tests, if it didn`t work outstanding using our machine, it wouldn`t stand a chance in the smaller ones with much less lift and heat. As Dwayne said, maybe a little dwelling time for the Enzyme or a light spot scrub for a stain might be needed, but that is what we need to find out during testing.

Believe it not Lonnie, we are in many different industries with Poorboy`s being based in the car care industry. Our goal is to make the most efficient and best working products for people with high standards. Yes, in the commercial carpet cleaning, the drive thru car washes, as well as many janitorial businesses, their bottom line is cost not results, which is not always our markets. :)
