So A local janitorial company has gotten ahold of me for a carpet cleaning at one of the government buildings they clean. Its 10,000Sq/f of carpet.
About half the actual surface is covered in a maze of office units and cabinets, I don't move anything at all, and simply clean around all furniture/cabinets. But due to lay out It looks like a bit of a pain in the ass to HWE the whole thing(Long hose runs from the access points of the building) The carpets were replaced one year ago and are honestly in good shape minus a few high traffic areas. Was thinking id HWE the few dirtier spots than look into encap/bonnet cleaning the rest due to how little soil is present. (Some of it looks brand new still)
Problem is Ive never done much encapsulating work, Ive done the odd spray and bonnet pad on a residential room but that's about it.
I have a oreck 12 inch machine, but I have access to a 17inch American sanders 175(100lb machine) as well, plus a couple pump up sprayers. Just wondering if either of these would be acceptable for the job, and if so what kind of setup would you recommend? Theres not much Commercial work in the Area so its hard to justify dumping a bunch of bucks on a larger machine. I have a Friend who i occasional hire to help when i need a hand, so itll be a two man job.
Thanks for the help guys.
