Sure, they are excellent for spot-cleaning. Cleaning large areas becomes a bit tedious. Don't soak the carpet so the pad becomes waterlogged or it will start molding. The wood floor beneath will be damaged if you use too much water, also.
There are actually a couple of good thrifty mom and dad ways to handle this problem. A dehumidifier will help. You can also use a wet vac if it's just a small area. However, if its a large area, crank up the furnace for a few hours and that will dry it right up! Denise
If this means white glue, scrub it with warm water and suck up with a good shop vac. Repeat 3-4 times ill it's gone.
it leaves little white dust spots all over the place after i mopped it up three times in a row... it still looked very spotty
They work by sucking up dirt and debri, usually from the home and transported to elsewhere, for example a garage, through tubing in the wall cavity's. It is run by connecting to the mains and is useful as it saves dragging a heavy vacuum cleaner around.
In residential 120 VAC, single-phase electrical wiring, there are three main types of electrical wires: 1. Ungrounded conductor (Hot, and sometimes called "Line" or "Phase") 2. Grounded conductor (Neutral), and 3. Grounding conductor (Safety Ground or Protective Earth) The groundED conductor is the power return, intended as a current return path from the load back to the source to complete the "circuit." Its insulation is White, gray or a non-green color with white stripes. The National Electric Code requires it be connected to earth ("groundED ") at the service entrance and usually only there. The groundING conductor is usually the safety ground which serves as an emergency current return path in the event of a circuit fault or overvoltage. Like the groundED conductor, it too is grounded at the service entrance, but is also connected to metal surfaces and parts along the circuit, groundING them. It conducts current only if the current "seeks" to return to the service entrance along a path other than the Neutral (like through your chest, should a Hot wire becomes loose and contact metal in the circuit that you may touch). Since the grounding conductor doesn't normally carry current, its cross-section is sometimes smaller than the groundED conductor's. The grounding conductor's insulation is green (no other conductors can have green insulation) though sometimes it is bare copper. Sometimes the steel metal conduit enclosing the Hot and Neutral acts as the grounding conductor.
Use a wet/dry vac then pull out the carpeting and let it air dry.
When choosing a wet dry vac for carpet cleaning, look for features like strong suction power, a large capacity tank, a variety of attachments for different surfaces, a HEPA filter for allergen removal, and a durable construction for long-lasting use.
A shop vac is effective on carpet for removing dirt and debris because of its strong suction power. It can easily lift and remove dirt, dust, and debris from the carpet fibers, leaving the carpet clean and fresh.
Removing the filter from your wet / Dry vac makes it a wet vac. Only vacuum water with a wet/dry rated vac. If you use a regular vac you might ruin the vac or electrocute yourself.
Use a cheap shop vac to get most the water out or it will mildew so bad you might have to discard it, then you can use fans or an air mover which they sell at home depot.
Yes, a shop vac can be used to clean up water spills or floods as long as it is specifically designed for wet/dry use. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and ensure that the vacuum is emptied and dried thoroughly after use to prevent damage.
To clean a shop vac effectively, start by emptying the canister and removing any debris. Next, wash the canister and filters with soap and water. Allow them to dry completely before reassembling the shop vac. Check the hoses and attachments for clogs and clean them if necessary. Regular maintenance will help keep your shop vac working efficiently.
To clean a cryo-vac machine, first unplug it and allow it to cool down. Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For the interior, use a solution of warm water and detergent to clean all surfaces, then rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly before using the machine again.
Gasoline will evaporate. sometimes it takes time but you could vacumme it out with a shop vac. To get the smell out, you will only be able to cover it up.
