Question: When I used the 15” wand to clean a carpet it is leaving the JET SPRAY streak (cleaning lines) on the carpet.
When I change to the 14” wand that jet spray mark is not happenning.
What is the reason for that and what can I do to stop this?
Answer: The jet nozzle might partially clogged. To clean do not poke through the hole, rather remove jet and blow air with rubber tip air compressor gun backwards through jet. Hold up to the light and check to make sure it is clean.
If you poke through the hole, the jet is ruined and will have to be replaced. If any object other than air or water touch the inside of the hole orifice it will cause streaking on the carpet.
In some cases you can have carpet streaking by the pressure it too high versus the height of the jet off the carpet. Some wands you can move the jets farther from the carpet and some are fixed location. The 15" tools do have an adjustable distance. You want to clean at under 500 psi for plush carpets. There are a few commercial carpets that can be cleaned at 600 and 700 psi, but it is rear.
