molded rug

[Harry Myers]

I have this rug I'm going to clean. Mold city what do you think.

 

[Nate The Great]

Brush a little off the top... It's just little mold....

 

[Ron K]

En-Cap?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Face fibers only, no foundation damage?

 

[Harry Myers]

This is one of 2 rugs they actually have them outside on an roofed patio. Obviously the rain water effect the rug lol.

 

[Cleanworks]

for what it going to take to clean it, I'm thinking they should buy new rugs. Maybe this time something for use outdoors.

 

[KevinD]

There is only one way to treat rugs like that.
Offer to walk it to the curb for them (with gloves and mask).

 

[Nate The Great]

I know @Harry Myers works some miracles on rugs....... I'm just waiting for the after pictures.....

 

[ruff]

I had the exact sneaking suspicion.
This time we want it with a proof that indeed, it's the same rug

 

[Harry Myers]

The end result

 

[Cleanworks]

So now are you going throw it away?

So now are you going throw it away?

,Now it's going to go back outside again

 

[ruff]

Nice.


So.................
Where's the certified proof, Harry?

 

[Harry Myers]

Here is the 2nd rug. Not as bad as the. First.

I ASSume you don't have a sloped pit and use the air movers to move the water towards the sump pump?

Or is it a raised drying platform?

Nate the way we did it before a sloped wash floor was in a pit. You put your hose in one corner then a Pump that discharges the same as the flow and you have it. It is slower but it works. BTW pit For Sale 15'X18' inflatable.

 

[Harry Myers]

Nate sloped pit. And raised drying platform.

 

[Harry Myers]

I have a wood platform sloped for faster water removal .

I have a 12x16 MB pit but my floor has a natural 1" slope to it... I'm still waiting for the right timing to perimeter drain cut it.. Then it'll be soo much easier to process more rugs at a time..

I also want to use a water storage tank with pump to make it more efficient with my water..

I wonder how difficult it would be to make s storage tank for your dirty water then filter it to reuse it? Maybe a charcol filter along with a cartridge household type filter. Wouldn't need to be drinking quality.

 

[Nate The Great]

That's nasty just thinking about it.. I'd rather dry compound clean then use recycled water..

 

[Cleanworks]

it's probably been done before. I think it would work for cleaners in drier climates that have water rationing. filter out the solids, let the water drip through activated charcoal, process it through a cartridge type filter and maybe add some ozone into the mix.

I don't doubt it'd work... Car washes recycle water...

There's that guy in Texas who uses rain water to wash rugs... http://deepeddyrugcleaners.com/view-content/7/Austin-Area-Rug-Cleaning.html

 

[Harry Myers]

Here it is with the furniture

 

[Cleanworks]

Looks great. Any rain in the forecast?

 

[Harry Myers]

Lol no but the owner can close it off from te rain getting in. She said she is usually good about it. But she forgot to close it off and that's what happened.
