Key Benefits

• Deep cleans traffic lanes — Penetrates fibers and dissolves stubborn dirt, grime, and greasy soil.
• Low moisture, fast dry — Maintains appearance with minimal downtime and less risk of overwetting.
• Perfect interim maintenance — Keeps carpets presentable between restorative extractions.
• Fast acting — Quickly emulsifies soil for efficient bonnet and rotary cleaning.
• Reduced re-soiling — Helps prevent dirt from sticking so carpets stay cleaner longer.
• No optical brighteners — Cleans thoroughly without changing carpet color or “masking” soil.
• Multiple methods — Use for bonnet buffing, rotary cleaning, or as a pre-spray before extraction.

Where It Shines

• High-traffic carpeted areas and traffic lanes
• Hotels and hospitality hallways
• Schools and classrooms
• Healthcare facilities and waiting areas
• Residential carpets that need a quick refresh

Before You Start

• Vacuum thoroughly to remove dry soil before cleaning.
• Test for colorfastness in an inconspicuous area.
• Spot treat any untreated stains before overall cleaning.

Method 1: Pre-Spray (Then Extract)

1. Dilute Pile-Up® TLC in a pump sprayer.
2. Apply to soiled areas and allow 5 minutes dwell time.
3. Follow up with hot water extraction for a deeper restorative clean.

Method 2: Bonnet Buffing

Lightly Soiled Carpets

1. Dilute 1:16 (8 oz per gallon of water).
2. Add solution to a pump-up sprayer.
3. Pre-spray carpet and bonnet until wet to the touch (avoid overwetting).
4. Buff using a rotary machine with a clean bonnet.

Heavily Soiled Areas

1. Mix 8 oz per gallon of water in a wringer bucket.
2. Submerge bonnet and wring out thoroughly.
3. Buff with a rotary machine using a two-bucket system (one rinse bucket, one solution bucket).
4. Flip or change bonnets frequently for best results.

Method 3: Rotary Machine with Solution Tank

1. Pour diluted solution into the tank.
2. Release through a flow-thru bonnet driver into the bonnet.
3. Buff while avoiding overwetting to maintain quick dry times.

Pro Tips for Better Results

• Clean bonnet = cleaner carpet. Swap or flip bonnets often to avoid re-depositing soil.
• Don’t overapply. Low moisture works best when you control solution usage and agitate properly.
• Vacuum after dry to remove released soil and keep the “fresh” appearance longer.
