Carpet Cleaning with Drill. What is max rpm to use on carpet?

[budinthemud]

Hi all. I've recently added power tools to my interior cleaning supply. With that, I added a drill. It worked great, removed a lot more mess, and quickly. The drill I am using is rated up to 3000 RPM. Moving cross hatch just like polishing paint. I didn't damage the carpet what so ever but I was curious to what RPM is too dangerous for carpet to burn or potentially pull apart. Thanks in advance.

Depends GREATLY on the carpet you are working on. Some carpets today are more like trunk liner and some are plush like back in the day. 2 different carpets and 2 different toughness. I wouldnt scrub plush carpets too much with a drill and brush but the trunk liner tight pile ones can usually hold up pretty well.
