Product details
Part 252803S is Kirby's carpet shampoo in the original unscented formula, sized as a 1 gallon bottle. Kirby's own catalogue lists this number as the 1 gallon unscented option of Kirby Carpet Shampoo, and it is sold for use in Kirby carpet shampoo systems.
Kirby's shampoo works through a dry-foam process rather than by soaking the carpet. Reducing the amount of moisture that goes in protects the backing of the carpet and lets it dry faster. The formula carries an encapsulating polymer, so instead of leaving the sticky film that makes a freshly cleaned carpet attract soil again within days, it surrounds the loosened dirt and dries to a crystal that vacuums straight back out. Being unscented, it is a reasonable choice in a household where fragranced products are something to avoid, and it leaves nothing behind to compete with other scents in the room once the carpet is dry.
- Part: 252803S, Kirby carpet shampoo, original unscented
- Size: 1 gallon
- Use: Kirby carpet shampoo systems
- Process: Dry foam, which limits how much moisture goes into the carpet
- Dilution: Follow the ratio printed on the bottle rather than estimating it
Too much shampoo left in the carpet is what causes the sticky, quick-resoiling residue people associate with carpet shampooing gone wrong, and it is almost always a dilution problem rather than a fault with the shampoo. Work in manageable sections rather than the whole room at once, and let carpet dry fully before walking on it or vacuuming again.
A gallon covers a considerable amount of floor, so it is a practical size for anyone shampooing more than a single room at a time, and a tightly sealed cap keeps the rest of the bottle usable between cleanings.
