What is a safe psi when using a home power washer? What is the psi at the local car washes? I want t o clean my BassCat carpet, but not ruin it.

I wouldnt use a pressure washer. Just a solution of vingar and water will do the trick. IMO I think extraction is the key. So after youve flooded the carpet and lightly scrubbed with solution vacum immediately while grime is loose. I just done this and its AMAZING at the difference. Just remember to scrub against the grain it RUFFLES the nap nicely2013 PANTERA 2MERCURY 200 PRO XSMINNKOTA 80LB FORTREX25 fury

I hose it down, wash it with brush using a little soapy water. Then, and most important, use the shop vac to pull out the water. The shop vac leaves it clean and nearly dry. I would never use a pressure washer.

I agree with the no power washer. I use the vinegar saturated process and water rinse. Scub with a soft brush and vacuum. Works great on stains as well.

Not sure what is recommended, but 4 parts water to 1 part vinegar has worked well on both cats weve had.

This may be a crazy question but…..does the vinegar leave an odor in the carpet? Tony D2017 Eyra / 250 Merc Pro XS

no odor I can smell. I use about a 5 to 1 ratio but Im not precise about it at all. Use some Resolve for the occasional stain that doesnt comeout with the water and vinegar.

I used a 1 to 4 ratio. I mixed it in a bug sprayer. Saturated the carpet with water and then sprayed her down and went to work with a sub brush. Then really flooded the carpet rinsing.Though the result were awesome. I thought I shouldve mixed a little stronger. Though I still feel the extraction is wat does the cleaning. If you could have seen the water in my dry vac you would understand. If I hadnt dryvacd the dirt would just remain in the carpet. No odor was present once dried good.2013 PANTERA 2MERCURY 200 PRO XSMINNKOTA 80LB FORTREX25 fury
