Receiving the portable extractor that you had ordered from a website after a long period of waiting can fill you with a large amount of glee at this current point in time. After all, now that you have this item in your possession you can safely tell people that you can clean your carpets far better than they can ever hope to compete with. That said, it might be embarrassing if you began boasting to all of your friends without first knowing how to use these portable extractors, since they might ask you for a demonstration and your lack of understanding would be humiliating to say the least.
Don’t worry, though, because we are going to tell you how the best carpet cleaning companies use portable extractors for carpet cleaning. They usually start the process by filling up the compartment that is meant for carpet cleaning solution. This solution needs to be used first without a shadow of a doubt, since trying to use it after the next steps will result in it sticking into the fibers and matting them together.
As a result of the fact that this is the case, you should first use the shampoo or solution reservoir during which time you can let the machine warm up the water for the next step which is hot water extraction. This will suck up any leftover surfactant along with all of the dirt that this substance has clung to. That will remove at least eighty to ninety percent of the dirt in your rug, so it seems pretty unlikely that you would be forced to do it repeatedly and you can instead settle for a once over.
