Fiberglass in the carpet

[Bryce C]

A customer of mine needs 1 room of carpet cleaned that has fiberglass in it from some remodeling they recently did. I told her we cannot guarantee the complete removal of fiberglass as it may be woven into the carpet fibers. But then I sold her with the rest of my knowledge and powerful equipment. But I am curious, what process would you use to remove the most fiberglass possible?

It is an 18x21 berber style carpet, and the room is empty. Would you charge extra relative to your normal carpet cleaning prices?

1 room?

Why would you want to be RESPONSIBLE for that???

I would call my Insurance agent?

Remind the agent how powerful your equipment is and of course you

couldn't GUARANTEE it to come out?

Please, let us know what the agent said?

Well you would have to deep vacuum it, possibly also with a turbo cat and dust downer . But it has not embedded it has etched. Which simply means its speared itself into the fibers.I would avoid it ...You don't need the contaminants in your waster water -filters nor tank...Selling your self is great ,but it take's conviction to say NO...Time spent on that could be time spent selling a Restaurant -Law Office -Medical building.

Vacuum, vacuum, vacuum! Then detail the edges with a vacuum hose. Then treat with the surfactant turned up above normal and agitate with the CRB with the trays to catch anymore of the fiberglass. HWE with triple dry passes and use your vacuum hose on the tm to edge the walls again.

After explaining all that, don't touch it until they release liability with their signature on the invoice documenting your discussion about it.
