How to clean carpet using a buffer machine 

This method is approved by the IICRC. Encapping is cheaper, faster, and allows for much quicker use of the carpet. The IICRC recommends this as maintenance cleaning. Its great for in-between maintenance with HWE, as HWE is more expensive, more time consuming, and requires a much longer dry time. Each method has its place and purpose. Cheers!

Hey are these the same machines that can resurface a marble floor?

@@dborulesyes, they make special drivers that you attach diamond abrasive plates to. Or you can rent grinders as well.

That's how I do it...

Check out Encap Store

no you have to rent a extractor or vacuum it up

Encapsulating cleaning chemicals bond to soils and dry to a loose powdery residue. Once the carpets are completely dry you can pick it up with an ordinary vacuum. Nothing is removed by the buffer, just broken free from the carpet fibers

Actually theres pads that extract called bonnets , microfiber etc that pad is for cleaning vinyl ,it will be fine for commercial badly trafficked carpet like that though the weage is in a very tight elbow loop

@@poolboywillis1225 Bonnets do remove some soil, but encapsulation followed by vacuuming is far superior. Most carpet mills will not warranty carpet that has been bonnet cleaned, as testing has shown it doesn't remove sufficient soil to protect the fibers from abrasion. For light to moderate soil you can make a carpet look good with bonnets, and it's better than not cleaning at all, but encapsulation isn't really much more work and your carpet will last longer. You do want to do a hot water extraction every few encap cleanings though, to get rid of any build up residue.

@@jasexavier encapsulation formula is what is used with iur bonnets but we do have a hydramaster truckmount , really its up to the customer but we do use encaps, dcs spin vac and part Bee mainly during -

HI we use a pre spray that dosent require extraction 👍🏾

@re-newitcarpetcleaning2155 thanks.

not when you use an encapsulant....when the carpet dries, the remaining soil dries inside a crystal (encapsulated) that can be vacuumed up

Yes white pads work also, I prefer the red ones though

@@re-newitcarpetcleaning2155 thanks for responding. I have a job to do this week and I'll be using my 175 too.

@@re-newitcarpetcleaning2155 The red pads won't dye/stain the carpet?

​@@re-newitcarpetcleaning2155 will red pad bleed the carpet. For education purposes only

@@bad7206 hi, not at all 👍🏾

Good luck getting that around in a large building. The King Cobra is the ultimate extractor because of all of its use cases, and it's half the price of the Titan.

Plus, heat alone doesn't do much on heavily soiled and walked down surfaces. You need agitation in a lot of cases.

@@heroinmom153 they make a wheel kit for the titan 575 now so you can bring it inside buildings and houses and stuff you need a couple people to help move it upstairs its kinda heavy

@@heroinmom153 i still bring in the 575 inside even if the truck is right outside I can do 10 to 20ft hose runs and get even more suction 🥴

@@heroinmom153 lol im talking about an 800lb gas powered truck mount that is only meant from van or trailer use and bringing it inside peoples houses 🤣

no its a buffer you are talking about a high speed buffer or its burnisher highspeed are for gloss

You talking about a High speed burnisher polisher

Everyone has different names for all these things. These are called buffers, scrubbers, swing machines, low speed machines, 175s, etc. High speed machines are usually called burnishers, but some people call them buffers too. It makes some sense since buffers in other industries are usually high speed, but it's fairly uncommon in floor care since 175s have been called buffers since before high speed machines were around.
