Citrus Solving tile problems

[Old Coastie]

I like Viper Venom for tile. But just for the h*ll of it today I flang a two scoop gallon solution of Flex Citrus Solve on the customer's kitchen floor, smeared it around with a floor brush and sat down five minutes.

Used the Daimer steamer to run the grout lines, recovered the slurry with the AquaClean (why not, I didn't feel like mopping) and it all turned out lovely.

Makes sense, if the stuff will clean greasy carpet and rinse out, why not tile too? Now you know, in case you get stuck one day with no "tile cleaner."

BP needs to promote Flex as a tile cleaner more.


in fact they may want to sell it repackaged and call it something lame like ************...

 

[Mark Saiger]

It's all doable....

Some carpet cleaning items do clean hard surface too....

I use flex for tile. It's already on the truck so one less thing to carry. I use star clean for the rare times that doesn't work. It's a powder. I've never tried viper venom.

If you would have tested an area with only VV and compared, you would know for sure if it made a difference.

I like Flex for tile, too, boosted with Oxyblaster. Killer!

The old liquid Flex and Viper Venom was (in my opinion) practically the same thing. Or at least very similar....

Yep flex works fine, so does biobreak, oxyblaster and about 50 other products.

We have lots of customers using our PowerMax powder with good results for T & G cleaning.

It has built-in Citrus Solv plus an Oxidizer for restoring grout color.

Thanks, Larry. I'll give it a tryout.

I have some Flex laying around. Yes, it works good on tile. So does PowerMax, which I've been using for years. However, my son has been complaining of the PM irritating his sinuses so I bought a couple of cases of Procyon Extreme to try. We cleaned two banks Saturday using the Procyon on their carpets and tile and it worked just as well as the other two products. Moral of the story? If it cleans one, it will clean the other. No need for a second product.

Been wanting to get a sample of Procyon Extreme. Still trying to figure out their system.

Marty's right. If it can remove dirt from carpet tile is no real challenge. The only exception is sometimes I use an acid. Again Marty, it doesn't count that I think so.

Sometimes I use an acid as well, particularly if there are rust stains.
