Hi,
I will be searching as well but I just finished cleaning our second floor using a Bissell Turbo clean power brush. And I noticed the carpets feel sticky. The researched this in general and looks like this is residue left over from the cleaning mixture correct?
The water tank has a water line then a formula line so measurement is a no brained. Here is what I did, went over the carpet with the cleaning solution back and forth, then back over the same area using the suction. Once I did this I finished off the same area with just clean hot water (I now read I should be using cold water to rinse) to remove as much as the cleaning solution as possible. Now this last step I did on my own because their instructions don't say to do this.
Here are my questions.
- Will rinsing with cold water several times over be bad in that it will soak the carpet too much even though I suck up as much liquid as I can?
- Did I use too much formula even though they have fill marks?
- Regardless do I need to do a final rinse using vinegar and water if I want to eliminate the sticky feeling in the carpet afterwards?
Thanks in advance
