Understanding the Chemistry of Carpet Cleaning - Jon-Don Video 

"Big" Billy Yeadon does it again! Bill has been a valuable resource for cleaners for decades, and it looks like he'll NEVER slow down!

As a chemist, I've been longing for a video like this...lots of neutralization reactions. One important factor you didn't touch on is how heat/steam helps activate reactions. Thanks for this!! Now that you're done, mix them all together 🤣 Just joking, especially if there's bleach or isopropanol on that table🤦

I don't understand. Let me watch it 10 more times

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time out to teach us. Great examples.

Thank you for the simple delivery with easy to understand information. It is very helpful.

Great work thanks for sharing,got it in one

I often party a little too hardy! LOL

I have a carpet in a commercial (state) building that is driving me crazy 😑. The building was neglected by previous vendors for years and also firebombed several years ago. Biggest problem seems to be the sealer between the carpet or VCT tiles has failed. Every time it rains dirty water looking stains randomly appear. Both on the carpet and under the VCT finish, even though the roof doesn't leak. The first time I went over the entire carpet with my extractor I used plain water. The soap foam that came out along with some of the dirt seems to suggest previous cleanings never rinsed. Maybe the PH was left off balance for years as well?. I've extracted the carpet 3 times now (plain water, citrus based cleaner, plain water rinse), and also went over it with a high traffic pretreat followed by agitation with a 175 buffer and microfiber bonnet between extraction #2 and #3. Some places look new but others haven't changed much. I'm wondering if I should try a neutralizer on the entire carpet and then try to raise or lower the ph to see which targets the stains best. It's possible that several different types of stains coincide. Maybe a low ph cleaner will get some out while a high ph will target others? I'm at a loss for ideas about what to try next. It's actually a very good test carpet because any improvement is a surprise as nobody expects much improvement.

As I had water damage and was dried. The carpet was fantastic but stiff to the touch. It stayed clean for months. What was used to get my carpet this clean and ling? I have a medium pile shag! It felt like it was starched and springy.

Jon, working on an audio video system, I removed old electrical tape that the adhesive had dissolved. A small piece of the tape got stuck to the bottom of my foot'e and I made little grey spots on the clients carpet. The carpet is brand new. What can you suggest to clean these light grey spots from the dissolved electrical tape adhesive. It comes right off my hands with dawn.

I have used nothing on the carpet. They are talking about flying people from Boston to Maine to clean the carpet. It is about a half dozen light grey spots on a straw color, tightly wound, wool carpet. It is the adhesive from the electrical tape. I called your shop and they recommended Breakdown and then Matrix. I am asking the owner if they will give me a shot at cleaning it and I will purchase those products from you.

💯💯

Why does carpet like to be left on the acidic side? What difference will it make if its left alkaline? Like when using formula 90 in the rinse, it's an alkaline product.

This is the carpet, What should I use? "100% WOOL LOOP PILE WILTON"

What...

Did he just say that "Weeks old, dried up paint can be removed from carpet" or did I misinterpret ?

I just want to know how to clean my dirty berber carpet.
