well, got it set up
now I have to take a breath & fill it with water & suds
Do a small section for a test drive

No way to shut it off though to stop suds if you want to agitate more
Could go over it with the polisher to work it in good?

Wish me luck

she sure looks purty

There are two ways you can go back with the renovator and agitate the carpet and pick up the excess suds.

1. Wait until the tank runs empty then go back, or don't fill the tank so full, so you will have less area to cover before refills.
2. Take the cap off the tank which will stop the suds (you will want the tank below half full for this. Or you can take the tank off, and put the bag back on. (this causes you more steps but works)

In any case you will want to go back over the suds and work them in and pick up the excess. This is where the majority of your cleaning is.

does good groom job
kirby suds r pretty good
no residue
think it says polyacrylicate
?
might be what attaches to the dirt
makes pile stand
but I had nightmares of waking tp a dead bird
some of that stuff messes w the lungs
even this am when I vacked thought it was sticking in my head n throat...just got to be so careful w birds

no prob w agitation as the tank emptied in about 3 minutes or less so
had to rush to lay it down

not a great diff but I can see a slight improvement
note I have shampooed once or twice w the rainbow n simple green & that really was amazing

Now I still want to do better raise nap & freshen
then another deep rainbow rinse
carpet is old & worn so its futile
but it really is alot better

heres what sponge screen look like
I cut my own sponge looks the same
