Why every detailer should get an extractor+steamer
I had a next door neighbor asked me to detail his interior couple weeks ago. Like every other mini vans the owners has couple kids and never had time or tools to clean it themselves. I went and checked it out to see if I could of cleaned it without steamer/extractor, but there was no way I could of done it without them. So I told him let me order a few things before I can take the job. 2 weeks past and today he asked if I could clean the interior for him.
It was kind of late but I don't have any time this month because I have to help dad with fixing up this house. So I bagged everything in the car before I started vacuuming it. I vacuumed everything inside the car and made sure to get stuff from under the seats, in-between seats, and all the cracks and cervices. Then I started to APC+ and steamed each area down and finished with extracting what was left over with the diluted APC+.
There was no way I could of clean this van to my standards without these two machines. I tried doing just APC+/agitate with brush and wipe down and had very poor results. Went to finish it with steamer/extractor and almost took all the stains out. There were a couple spots that didn't come off but it definitely lighten them a lot.
Tools used:
Mytee lite ii
VX5000
APC+
Various brushes
Ragid vacuum
Here are a few photos of what I was working on today.
