00:00Ladies and gents, this dirty water is what me and the team extracted from a handful of train seats.
00:05Looking grim? Absolutely. Let's go back to the beginning and after a quick pre-spray
00:10and some agitation we got to work on these heavily soiled carriage seats.
00:14As you'll get to see the dirt we're extracting is vast and in my professional opinion
00:19a long-term issue. Is it therapeutic? Of course it is, but in this moment we just want to leave
00:24the seats clean and smelling fresh for the commuters. Lucky for you and me I've assembled
00:30a team of guys dedicated and fully committed to the profession and we are capable of cleaning
00:35the entire train in a two and a half to three hour window. By the way we're doing this on a moving
00:40train so there were some challenges. On a daily basis we clean all carpets and upholstery throughout
00:47London and the home counties as many of you know and the train seats is something that really
00:52intrigues me as to how they could be so filthy. I just had to give it a go to see the results.
00:58It's mad really. As the saying goes the camera never lies nor does the dump bucket. As you can see
01:08these are the results. I'll leave you with this thought though, but how much of this do you
01:12actually take home?
