After some trial and error in a professional body shop here is the method we developed that will blow you away.... (For mega ultra crazy dirty soiled cars)1) Pretreat entire seat with Oxyclean. Get it very damp to wet, don't be shy. Let it sit for 5-7 mins.2) Load machine with 5 parts Folex 1 part water. (see Folex reviews here, buy in HD/Lowes at half the price.)3) Spray whole seat with (warm) folex mix from wand. Now you're officially wet. (ie soaked)4) WORK IT IN BY HAND THEN A BRUSH... (like a 6 inch brush) Scrub a dub dub... 5) Vac Vac Vac Vac water up. Move wand slower than you think.6) THE REAL MAGIC... Get a spray bottle with plain very warm water. Soak with lots of warm water (brush) then vac... And watch that crud just fly out the seat.7) Repeat step 6.8) now one more vac (slowly, get that water out) and you're done.OK now your seats will be wet... And BTW you'll be getting the seats WAY wetter than you probably thought you ever would... but park it in the sun for few hours and it will dry... and/or put a big fan on the seats.Plan on not driving until the next day. (park overnight with windows open and fan on, the seat will dry but you gotta help them, don't close up car and walk away)We pull the seats out the car and dry them in the direct sun... If you have the ability this is the best bet. Or maybe do two seats in morning and let dry all afternoon... point being, get it dry before you close car up.The above process on a minivan will take you basically a whole day of labor... but the results will amaze you.

Question 3

Has anyone spent the $30.00 for the optional powered "turbo head brush?"  Input, please?

Accepted Answer

I've owned many carpet cleaners.  Avoid the "power brush" attachments.  They are powered by rerouting more than half of the suction power through a turbine to spin the brushes.  So that suction is not being used to suck the moisture up out of your carpet.  You're losing more than half the suction power of the machine to have a spinning brush that is almost never strong enough to accomplish anything anyway.  Unless the power brush is powered by an electric motor in the brush handle (which is now unheard of), it is a waste and a complete loss. Sadly, you're better off just using elbow grease.  But the real work of these carpet cleaners isn't done by brush action anyway.  It's done by the chemical cleaning products and the suction power of the unit to then pull those chemicals (with the dirt/stain) back up out of the carpet.  The brush is really just used to move the chemicals around to make sure all of the dirt/stain is coated in the cleaning chemicals.

Question 4

does the brush rotate

Accepted Answer

This unit only has the hand attachment, it does not "sit" on the carpet and clean by itself.  If you're looking for that, you want the "spot bot" series of cleaners.  If you're asking about the rotating brush in the handle attachment, no, this unit does not have that.  But those should be avoided anyway.  The rotating brush is powered by diverting more than half the suction in the hose through a turbine in the handle.  Since that suction power is being used to turn the brush, it is not being used to suck the liquid up out of your carpet.  You're losing more than half the suction power of your machine.  The power of those brushes are never very strong.  So it is a complete waste.  Also, the real work of these carpet cleaners isn't done by "brushing" the stain out in the traditional method of cleaning; it's done by the power of the chemicals and the machine's ability to suck those chemicals (and the dirt/stain) back out of the carpet.  So you want more suction power, not more moving parts.  The brush is really just there to move the chemicals around to make sure the dirt/stain gets completely covered.  Something that is easily done with a small amount of elbow grease.
