Curcular dry foam is actually something called a fracable,as in fracture, it dries to a crisp brittle material that is easy to remove with vacuume because of the vibration and bristles breaking it up like micro peanut brittle cracking and fracturing into chunks and shards enveloping the soil like the brittle does the peanuts. Before cleaning the dirt and the fiber had opposite charges, while drying they have the same charge wich will repelle the soil from the fiber allowimg for the Kirby guard to attach to amorphis sites on the fibers. This type of foam is extremely low residue. ( it is supposed to be circular dry foam at the beggining.)nice video thank you.

tyvm for this demonstration . I was given this machine when my sister in law went into assisted living . I didn't use it for a while thinking it probably wouldn't do a good job like most machines . I was wrong . This machine is awesome . My old icky carpet looks new again . Thanks .

Thank you for this! I can't used my VHS tape anymore because its seen better days...lol. I forget this routine EVERYTIME! This is great and your accent makes it all the better ! lisa

I love people who can Domo like this! Thank you. Your instructions are clear, and step by step, so I can see exactly what I need to do! Thank you!

I have had the same machine for 17 years and still works beautifully

I used my kirby shampoo attachment for the first time yesterday on large thick pile rugs. Layed down the foam waited 10 minutes then again with the shampoo off. I then waited a few hours for it to dry then vacuumed it. Amazing results like the rugs had been tumble dried. Used kirby shampoo and it takes less than 2 minutes to set up the attachment.

Wonderful instructions, all my questions answered. Cant wait to do it again your way. Thanks!

Thanks pal! Just picked up one of these beauties from our church rummage sale and your video made it so easy to put together!

That carpet looked pretty clean before the cleaning, nice video.

Nice! I've only bothered with a Kirby to clean a carpet once. Seems more of a refresher really than a clean so I like the extractor machines better. But to vacuum carpeting the Kirby is an awesome machine. The most important thing though is whether or not your mother approved of the carpet when you finished!😉

Great tutorial! Love the results!

Brilliant demo thanks so very much!!!

Great video Roger binge watch your older videos I didn’t know you had one of these 👍👍

Thanks for the demo! I have the same Kirby model for 8+ years now; reading the general instructions, and using the shampoo attachment a few times... I still wasn't shampooing correctly. : / I would get a LOT of water in the carpet (as well as foam) and it took all day with fans to dry completely. Just had the shampoo attachment going now and then the belt broke... (sigh...) But I L.O.V.E. this model ~ I just need more practice.... and some belts.

I just got that same kirby and I'm getting the shampoo system in a few days. I'm excited.

This is a huge improvement over previous generations when the belt slipped incessantly. The fragrance is lovely though.

That was a good show you are doing better than I thought it is a good time to go to the hospital for his checkup for you today

Nice video! Really like seeing the shampooer in action.

thankyou for the excellent thorough demo of the shampoo attachment

Thank you for the simple instructions 👌

I love the carpet shampoo system! :)

Very nice, Roger! Good demo!

Hey thanks for the add to Tutorial I appreciate it helped out a lot🙏✌️

i have a Kirby to

I'll be doing a Kirby foam party this summer on mom's bedroom and study when she leaves for holiday. They're good for light soiling but for deep cleaning I would still use an extraction machine like a Bissell. Nonetheless the Kirby shampoo system is super fun to use!

I don't know what it is but this is so satisfying :D

That's so amazing wow I'd love to have one but it's expensive

if you have foam cumulating in the collection tray, it means you are pulling it too slow, if the foam collects infront of the cleaner it is snow ploughing it takes the foam off. so when spreading the foam, start by pulling it in backstrokes on a lower carpet adjustment the brush not touching the carpet but only the tray. once the foam is down adjust the machine to the lowest level allowing the brush to renovate and scrub the carpet without giving foam. also do this in back strokes, lifting the machine front and pulling back over the foam areas..

Thanx for that Glyn! I will investigate!

This takes me back almost 20 years to when my parents were shampooing the carpets using the grandmother's kirby! They had no idea what to do with it so i remember it seemed to be a stressful few days. I just liked the fact it had drive/neutral and a light on it! I must admit, it looks a bit easier than i remember!

I used to have that vaccuum but it broke. I loved that vaccuum RIP 1980-2016

Kirby is a really good vacum

Great job! Thanks

Oh geez, great tutorial.

Very interesting! And very good video Roger! Question: doesn't the liquid from the shampoo tank get drawn into the fan chamber of the machine? And if yes, don't you have to somehow clean out the fan chamber and belt spindle before using the vacuum again un normal cleaning mode? I imagine the powerful suction is still created while in shampoo mode which means it must be drawing liquid into the machine during this process. Must be quite a job to clean the fan after this - no?

Very informative

The Kirby ultimate G is a cross between the G6 and the G3 so it’s a vacuum cleaner hybrid 😂

very good video

The best tutorial ever!!! Thanks for making it so easy👏👏🤗

I have the older version of the diamond edition but it's still pretty good

My kirby vacuum attachment is dropping the belt instead of picking it up. It's like the hook is backward and it was fine before I shampooed. How can that be possible?

Great video! Can you please do a review on the portable shampooer? I love my Kirby, but I’m getting watermarks on upholstery and it just doesn’t seem clean when using the portable shampooer. I think I may be using it wrong. Anyway, thank for the great content!

I love it! I have one of these in America, no more stains in my hallway.

how did I miss this!! lol well guess I do get to see how you like the shampooer system welp guess I will finish the video

I noticed my reservoir tank empties quickly and the rug is quite wet. Is there something wrong?

i love kirbys i have the sentria i like it alot

Looks like you were moving a bit slow when applying the foam so you over foamed a bit. For tough stains I add a cup of 6% 20 volume hydrogen peroxide in the mix and it blasts pet, blood, wine and any natural stains away. If you have ink or makeup stains just add a little ammonia It’s a great low moisture (VLM) cleaner Good to see you trying it out 👍

Great video Roger, did seem a bit messy though say compared to a Vax. Love your socks and wonder where you buy them from? Love you and your demonstrations and love seeing your dogs but the highlight for me is what socks your be wearing?

Do you have to use kirby shampoo?

What happened to your classic iii if you still have it can you show it pls

Were did you get a Kirby g

What were the results?

Hi! Really enjoyed! Is there a part 2? Did it do a good job? 😊

Did this actually clean well, or just create a big mess? Between swapping attachments, the procedure, and the cleanup of the machine, I think I'd rather just get any number of good (and less expensive) dedicated shampooers you've demonstrated. It was neat to see it in action, but it seems like too much hassle. Another great video, Roger. Thank you!

appreciate it m8

Well that looked impressive and as you've already shown in another video the Kirby also agitates the carpet well when vacuuming. I wouldn't of considered buying a Kirby up until now but I maybe tempted by a used or reconditioned Kirby. The foam system reminds me of the old 1001 dry foam cleaner. Here is a link to an old advert on youtube: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d5mnlMamrtnIpZs.html

Nice🎉

I miss that kind of shampoo hose I have the elbow hose on my Avalir

How to use the attachment on a p on a Kirby Kirby diamond

I like it Mr ibasiac. how would you rate this against the bissill you've demonstrated

I followed the directions but my foam comes out in straight little line and and not across the length of the vacuum 😭 everywhere but the thin line was dry

We have that Kirby

Kirby fan

Aren’t you suppose to wait like 3 hours for the foam to disappear? I think you did this the wring way

could you review a sentria?

And yes 👍🏻

Looks like you used hot water? Thats why its so foamy.

Not a big fan of the Kirby shampooer. It leaves a light film on the carpet which attracts more dirt and makes it feel a little odd on barefeet. It's okay, but not a substitute for a steamer or one that sucks dirt out of the carpet.

How on earth is it so SHINY!!

I hooked my Kirby up and it started beautifully. About ten seconds in I smelled something burning and saw that the rubber drive band snapped... I shut it off immediately and unplugged it. =/ , there was smoke coming from the hot drive shaft of the motor and the inside of the machine =(. Looks like im dishing out for a crap rug doctor tommorow.

I have found that it creates a lot of foam as well. I thought I was doing something wrong.

Are kirbys still sold door to door or Are they internet exclusive now

Way to vacuum up with a Hoover!

Ibisaic do you play games?

I im Kirby fan to Rodger

are you going to mack a second video

I have one just like that

Mine just expels all the water and no foam

Have you ever heard of a rainbow vacuum cleaner?

😊😮😊😊😊😊

If there was ever a product that looks American - it is this! Just get a Bissell and save yourself a fortune. Notice the foam is white once vacuumed, showing no signs of dirt being absorbed into it.

1st

Lousy way to clean a carpet, sorry. I've used these and they're easily the weakest part of the Kirby system, unwieldy, messy, low capacity, and just not very effective. Does it work? ...Yes. Kind of. But steam cleaning is really about the only way to go - and if you want to be real, a Rug Doctor will eat this thing alive. (Those do seem to work fairly well.)

ur wrong ted

Too big and bulky for my liking . What a mess suds all over the front of cleaner.

We have that Kirby
