I really appreciate this video. I taught myself how to clean carpets by watching tube. I started my business with almost no experience. Two years later I’m making 80k a year. It’s people like Corey that made this possible. What would be great is if you would do a white board video on VLM cleaning and chemistry. Cover all the basics of VLM, chemistry, pricing and stain removal.
I have been watching a lot of your videos and others as well I almost have it memorized but I need to write it down the uses for using peroxide and ammonia. 👍😁
Hi carpet muscle. can you explain in what circumstances 20% peroxide can be used and when not to use it. I am going to get some 6 and 20 % but am a bit nervous about using 20. If you could explain that would be very much appreciated. Happy new year.
Thanks for the videos. I wanted to ask? Do you need to extract the peroxide out the carpet after applying it to the stain? If you leave it in the carpet is there not a chance it will bleach the carpet? Also what % of peroxide should be used for stains? does it matter what type of peroxide? Thanks
Hi, your videos are really informative - thank you. Can you please tell me if the peroxide and ammonia solution is still effective on old blood stains? My son had a nosebleed on our cream carpet and I used a salt wash at the time but it’s left a dark stain which won’t come out with conventional carpet cleaner either. Many thanks, Rachel
Hey Corey what can be added to Peroxide and Ammonia to have a nice scent? Ammonia have a strong smell most customers compaint on the smell. Peroxide do not have scent so they ask something would make their carpet smell nice.
Hello. I have a question for the community. I have a big grout and tile job coming up. 1500 Sf restaurant kitchen with 7 years of gunk in the grout. They also want the 10 foot tile walls cleaned. (Im assuming I will just wipe those down. Grout is fine) I’m a VLM cleaner with an Orek XL and a 175. I’ve never cleaned anything other than a residential kitchen and bath. My questions are: 1. what is the best and most affordable tile and grout cleaner? 2. How should I price this job? 3. What attachments,tools should I use? Thanks in advance!
Can ya use food grad peroxide or lab grade diluted down i can get 35% food grade cheap , thank you for the educational videos. Also didnt notice eny extractor used but then again didnt see a bunch of water/chemicals put down
@@chrisyerp174 you can reach out in a few months if you like. Currently I’m healing up from two spinal surgeries. I can help with I am working again. 👍👍
Hello Corey can you tell me if distilled water will make 35% hydrogen peroxide more effective? Are can you use it straight for carpet spotting? Would like your option.
I would not recommend using 35%. It’s your option. 6% to 12% is all I use. If 12% won’t fix it then it needs to be patched. Distilled water would make a detergent more effective because a lower ph would be more effective in distilled water. Peroxide doesn’t have a ph so it wouldn’t come into play
@@ulyssesbullock9979 i do if it’s really difficult. Most of the time i use straight 6% to spot urine. Volume 20 is 6% volume 40 is 12%. 35% would blind you if it splashed into your eye. 6% can be painful when it starts eating away at your fingers. Use caution ⚠️
do you mix do you have a mix the ammonia in the fabuloso spray container are you just you the fabuloso by itself and use the ammonia to spray those are hard spots
arthur trey enterprises Please subscribe to stay up on the latest. I am no longer using fabuloso or simple green. I put out s video about a week ago explaining how I create my own out of plant based Tide. 👍
William Luu Truthfully no. Peroxide is damaging to wool or cotton and the ph of ammonia is too high. I have always gotten away with is due to doing vlm and getting a quick dry time. Once dry peroxide is non reactive and ammonia goes neutral. So you shouldn’t go over around 8 or 9 on wool safely but I get away with it regularly.
William Luu I don’t have a video on it specifically. It is rare that you run across wool carpet. Rugs are more common in the 300$ range. I will have to try to cover it at some point. Please feel free to remind me if I don’t cover it soon
@@CarpetMuscleTV Thanks mate, I'm based in Australia and most of the clear ammonia is 25%. No problem, I will dilute to begin with then work it up from there. Same with peroxide, it's a whopping 50% here, but will dilute to 6% for spotter and 20% for prespray. Thanks again.

Have you ever had an issue with straight peroxide causing color loss?
Beautifully done!

Yes. Peroxide alone will do this. You can add a little ammonia to boost it. Just spray and move it through the fibers gently.
Hey Corey what can be added to Peroxide and Ammonia to have a nice scent? Ammonia have a strong smell most customers compaint on the smell. Peroxide do not have scent so they ask something would make their carpet smell nice.
I'd recommend adfing a bit of febreeze to the mix
What kind of machine and pads are you using? It looks like an easy machine to operate
It is a challenger and a micro fiber bath mat. 👍
Wow! That's amazing!
How do u decide what percentage of peroxide to use can 20 be used on any carpet.
The greater the percentage of peroxide the higher thw chance of bleaching

You should probably text me. Hopefully I can help get you lined out to clean the tile.
Hey champ,
Any pros and cons with using peroxide? Any pitfalls?
Thanks

What is a good cleaner to put in your carpet cleaner machine? I'd rather use something different then what the stores sell.
What is your pretreat per gallon?
Thank you! Great info. You earned a Subscribe:-)
Does peroxide take away the urine smell too?
Melanie Spaur It needs a powerful deodorant mixed with it. Peroxide breaks it down great but it needs a little help with the odor.
@@CarpetMuscleTV What do you typically use to remove odor?

@@CarpetMuscleTV so 12% can be used straight correct?
@@ulyssesbullock9979 i do if it’s really difficult. Most of the time i use straight 6% to spot urine. Volume 20 is 6% volume 40 is 12%. 35% would blind you if it splashed into your eye. 6% can be painful when it starts eating away at your fingers. Use caution ⚠️
@@ulyssesbullock9979 yes it is possible. Not on wool. 6% does just fine.
How are you able to clean this stain with 20% peroxide. Your other videos suggest 6%. Will 20% not damage carpet? Thanks for all the videos.
20 volume or 6%

Is ammonia and 20 volume safe on wool carpet?

Hey Corey. Is your Ammonia 25% strength? Would you dilute 25% strength if using as a spotter?
I spot with straight ammonia. I am not sure what the potency is coming off the shelf. Top job Home Depot or Walmart all sell decent quality ammonia.
@@CarpetMuscleTV Thanks mate, I'm based in Australia and most of the clear ammonia is 25%. No problem, I will dilute to begin with then work it up from there. Same with peroxide, it's a whopping 50% here, but will dilute to 6% for spotter and 20% for prespray. Thanks again.
@@CarpetMuscleTV if it's household ammonia, it's usually 5%
@@jasongaleano7704 25-28% is industrial or commercial concentration. Household cleaners with ammonia is ~5% max.
