you just want to stir the pot and be right clearly you can see weve outsmart you with cold hard facts here so stop
You know, your comments would be easier to understand if you learned basic punctuation and grammar before you graduate to 'outsmarting' people. >_>
 
You know you are really starting to piss me off why don't you just get out of here........ And stop pissing people off don't worry about my typing the only thing i want you to understand is to Stop.
I'm sorry, but you can't talk to people like this. It's extremely rude and inappropriate. If you don't like other people's point of view—or the facts in this case—then while I understand that, it's just too bad. You have no right to be aggressive towards other people's polite free speech and perfectly reasonable use of a forum designed exactly for this. If you don't have anything friendly or constructive to add to a discussion, then please just don't comment rather than be aggressive and sour the environment. There's a lot of good conversation still to be had.
 
Vacuum Facts - Briguy is right, carpet extraction with hot water and soap is the only method approved by the Carpet and Rug Institute in North America. I think that fact alone PROVES your information is false! And to be quite frank, you're a bit of a joke in the collecting community and on YouTube! It's about time you realize your time has expired and you need to go away.
AMEN
 
Secondly, the CRI holds no credibility with me. They’re industry-owned, goal-focused, and their output is not peer-reviewed. There’s evidence of bias, unconvincing testing, and it’s not always science-based or consistent with the formal industry standards
And who are you? Some schmuck on the internet with a cordless Dyson and computer to make fancy graphs that look nice but are full of nonsense. What qualifications do you have in the industry that gives you the ability to sufficiently claim they're biased or their methods are "unscientific"? Thats not to say theres no possbility of bias in the CRI but again you're making bold claims for just some rando who makes videos in his living room.

You're a prime example of these

I’ve often found that people think carpet washers are a good approach to stains. For (real-world) messes and stains, a simple damp cloth rinsed in dish detergent and microsponge treatment is the cheapest method I’ve experienced that also gets the best results. I’ve completely cleaned the worst thick and dirty, greasy chain oil patches using this method. Carpet washers don’t clean as effectively on the surface and actually make a bigger mess deeper in the pile. They’re marketed as a silver bullet, and people fall for it, but they’re a bit of a scam for the most part from what I’ve measured. (Incidentally, there are good physical reasons for this covered in this lecture when discussing carpet backing and airspeed as a function of pile depth.)

I evidenced this beyond all reasonable doubt a few years ago and forgot how poignant the video was until I rewatched it in response to a recent thread. I’ve made a playlist of different methods of cleaning and examples. There’s also a playlist showing professional cleaning using microsponges.
As someone who has dabbled in carpet cleaning, and who actually owns commercial equipment and uses ONLY professional chemicals, I can tell you, anyone with an even minute understanding of the science and mechanics of how carpet comes clean, you don't know much about much. Do you have ANY idea what dish soap does in carpet? Do you have any idea how much of an abject pain in the schmeldie it is to get even a small amount of that residue out? Do you have any clue how much people charge for this service?????
 
Reggie - I must totally agree with you on this! Anyone that would dare to use dish soap to clean a rug has to have FOOL plastered on their forehead! Even if dish soap did get a stain out of carpeting, the amount of residue left behind would be even worse than if you used a old fashioned carpet shampooer. And anyone with a portable machine would be rinsing and extracting dish soap foam from that carpet FOREVER!
 
Do you have ANY idea what dish soap does in carpet?
Yes, but please enlighten me anyway with strong, fact-checkable evidence that also directly addresses the clear video evidence provided of the solutions proposed above. I've not seen any convincing evidence of the allusions you make and would happily change my thoughts on the matter if you could provide some that was fact-checkable and didn't merely rely on wordy anecdotes of subjective 'experience', which are never convincing. I suspect you may have misunderstood comments about dish soap; you obviously don't put the stuff neat and directly on a carpet.

There's plenty of empirical evidence supporting what I've said above out there; people can review it and decide independently for themselves. I think a lot of people are scammed by 'professional carpet cleaners' who appear to run a false economy for the most part for typical household messes (distinct from severe commercial abuse and neglect). It's very easy to handle most messes cheaply and yourself in the home. My channel provides clear evidence of how to do this and discusses how it all works.
