I tried steaming my carpet with a Rug Doctor, and it didn't work, so I bought a Bissell Proheat. I wanted to use up all the cleaner that I bought for the Rug Doctor before I purchase Bissell carpet shampoo for my new cleaner. The shampoo for the Rug Doctor says it's compatible with all carpet cleaning machines, but the Proheat manual says only to use the Bissell products. I'm a little confused here. Should I use the Rug Doctor shampoo or not?
Rug Doctor shampoo for carpets, contains, I'm told, optical brighteners. This additive may be harmful to the carpet if used over and over again as the carpet may tend to pick up a yellow tint. Optical brighteners can be viewed in the carpet with a black light, while in total darkness. If you have a black (ultra violet) light, you might check out your carpet some time. What ever shampoo you decide to use, be careful as this soap is hard to remove from the carpeting using these toy carpet cleaners. They do not use enough water to get a good rinsing/extraction action. Soap left in the carpet becomes a sticky residue that will attract soil and dirt to the carpet fibers. Professional carpet cleaners use large volumes of softened and treated hot water and super vacuum extraction when they perform residential and commercial carpet cleaning. The pro's water is also treated with citric acid to lower the PH of the carpet and to prevent soap residue from staying in the carpet.
ok, you poor the liquid soap into the side of the Bissell and then set it on the carpet.
