Best way to scrub traffic lane? Grocery store entrance

[GJR]

Hi guys,

What's the best approach for getting best result for dealing w/the traffic lane on this kind of track-mat entry-way carpet?

before:

I think the issue maybe is with the agitation method I've been using.

I pre-vac, spray heavy, scrub with red pad and extract on my highest TM setting.
Is there something better than red pad for this?

This regular customer is a busy store on a busy street and their entry gets trashed. They are always complimentary and overall seem happy and I think it comes out pretty good ... but deep down I know I can do better on that traffic lane.

after:

While we are at it, what's this stuff called officially? Track-mat?

You could do a green pad if it's really trashed. It want hurt since you "prespray heavy. Especially on carpet tile.You might want to run it on cement wet a little, but not a lot.

I tried green once and it tripped the fuse on my 175. But maybe with more lube it could work. Maybe worth a second try I mean.

500. Too low you think?

Too low

When I cleaned those types of entrances, I went up to 900. There’s layers of parking lot crap that needs more aggressive pressure.

You won’t hurt it. It’s plastic carpet with rubber backing glued to a concrete slab

Last time I think it was 10 Below boosted with MaxFlex and a squirt of odorcide.

Either way, crank the psi or do as I said heavy on the prespray and green pad scrub. You might try ProChem Ultrapac Extreme.
