Malco Upholstery/Carpet Cleaner PLEASE HELP

Whats up guys, i just started using malcos carpet cleaner and im using it manually. Its a 20 to 1 ratio spray.

My procedure is to spray the carpet liberally than using a wet brush
(sometimes addding water to the carpet) i scrub the matt, they come out great but when the carpet and mat fully dry..... the mats and carpet SMELL HORRIBLE. i have to redo three cars carpets because of the smell.

Can anyone point out a mistake or help me out. I HAVE TO GET THAT SMELL OUT OF THE CAR.

Thanks alot
-Sal

What are you using to extract with? Left to dry with solution/dirt still in them and they can stink up like so.

Exactly. Your best bet is going to be to pick up a LGM and redo the carpets.

Use Folex and a LGM. If it smells after it dries, spray them down with some Odo-Ban.

Wrong.

My shop vac extracts better than my lgm. The only thing good about the lgm is it's heated
