Carpet Cleaning In Cold Weather - Help Needed
I have an interior to do tomorrow, Im plan on using some cleaning solutions, my PC and my shop vac for extraction.
The average temp tomorrow will be 50 degrees..Is this going to be a problem as far as drying? Thanks in advance

I don`t think it will be any problem. Your VAC should get most of the wetness out!

Jason...best way is to clean it....and let car run with heater full blast..keep windows opened a inch to let the moisture out ...so it does not condensate inside...
or if you have a pelonis disk ceramic heater...run it while you do the outside... do the interior first... 50 is borderline for it to dry on its own...I did my seats last week and it was low 50's and next day they were so so damp...and I used and extractor... or you could get one of the heated air movers...I think I seen them at either Lowes or Home Depot..for around 100.00.....

I was thinking of getting that heated air mover from HD, should I just put it on a crate so it's even with the door sill and just have it blow is? Will this be a huge improvement over running the cars heater full blast? Thanks!!!

Well all of the industrial forced air heater fans were propane or kerosene, I really didn't want to go that route so I bought one of each of the following:

  I really like it, it gets really hot, has a good amount of forced air, gets hot really quickly and cool thing is it pivots. Another plus is it just looks cool, very "professional grade" if you know what I mean... I think the tools you use gives off a certain "image" to the customer...Obviously END RESULTS TRUMP ALL I also picked up a twin halogen floor lamp "husky" brand... I ended up returning my Harbor Freight dual halogen and just using my brinkman... It really sucked.. too short and reall flimsy. This husky light is 70" tall, the dual halogen lamps come off so it turns into a dual floor halogen...I think this one is a keeper Last edited by Deep Gloss Auto Salon : 11-09-2007 at 08:36 PM.

Jason...the Stanley will be your best bet..its a ceramic core heater....so no electric elements like the other you showed....you will be fine with the Stanley ..
I have a pelonis one ..like this andi it works fine... http://www.amazon.com/World-Marketin...4737755&sr=8-1 the stanley will work great since it has more air movement..... Let me know how you make out... Al

Al, the Stanley did the trick like a charm!! I only needed to use it for the mats since I used my newly aquired steamer on the stationary carpet and seats. using the steamer reduced the amount of chemicals I needed to almost nothing so they remained relatively dry and were completely dry before I was done with the detail. That peolonis looks real nice.. Yours has 82 more BTU's, do you think that is noticeably higher? If so I may want to return mine and get the pelonis!!
