The Usual Rental Unit Carpet Problems [photo contest]
The photo contest winner this month is Tommy Terry of All Hands Carpet Cleaning in Davidsonville, MD. His company will receive a chemical prize package from Solutions by Steam Pros worth $250.
Tommy describes this particular job: “This was a rental unit carpet, and I’ve seen much worse, but this one had a nice ‘before and after’ element to it. I used my truckmount with a powerful prespray and a 10-minute dwell time. I cleaned it with 220-degree Fahrenheit rinse water. The job turned out great!”

Fresh urine is acidic and, although it has a malodor, doesn’t become a big challenge to remove until it ages and converts to alkaline salts, which are always sticky and moist, and can strip dyes from carpet and furniture fibers over time.
