RE in, Wand out..

[Mikey P]

Ive tried all sort of ways to use a Rotary Extractor and I've finally settled on what works best for me and the 370. Start at the entry of a room or a hallway and "RE" all that you pre-sprayed, finishing up in the furthest area. Take the RE out and hook up a lightweight wand wand clean the corners, under furniture, along baseboards etc and dry stroke your way back out of the area. IF by chance you missed or streaked an are with your RE now it's easy to either fix with the wand or bring the RE back in and touch it up.
Applying and grooming protector would go last. My wand strokes are so pretty, I often wont groom if not applying protector, depends on the circumstance. I certainly don't need the assist in drying that grooming provides in the land of zero dew points.


How do YOU use your RE?

Mesmerizing

Mostly on the dirty soft stuff.

I'm dead positive you are still in the streaking stage.

 

[Desk Jockey]

If I were you, I'd use a Zipper.

Lockhart told me all Rotovac's streak.


The XL streaks?

 

[Mikey P]

It can with out the BHed

Pass the brain bleach.

 

[Desk Jockey]

I can't say I've seen it but then I rarely clean.

Does the Hoss need a brush head to keep from swirling up the carpet? RX 20?

 

[steve_64]

I tried an rx,20 on a couple jobs. I decided to stick with the crb and wanding.

 

[GeneMiller]

I've never had swirl marks from the rotovac or the hoss. Clean in then zipper out if necessary.

 

[hogjowl]

Oh good grief

 

[Mikey P]

No

Maybe

How do I use my RE? I could walk in circles with my wand. Would that make it a RE?

I'm just being a smartass. I don't have a RE.

Do I feel like I need one? not really. I know, I know. When my shoulders and back wear out, I'll be begging for one. Nah, I don't think so. Today's wands are much better than the wands in the 70's-90's that you guys were using in your prime.

 

[Mikey P]

Lol..

Someday (soon) you'll see the light and think back and mutter...

"ah F!!"

" all that time wasted, all those soaked backings, all that chemical over use..."

Should I start a thread on wand vs. RE?

 

[Mark Saiger]

I most always work my way into a room so not fighting hoses and cords....

Groom out....

Go collect the money....and move on to the next

 

[Mikey P]

Groom out, not wand? when are corners and edges and under furniture getting hit?

I can tell you this, if someone had used a RE on that dining room in Nashville, it would have shamed the other tools..

 

[Mark Saiger]

Usually edge out before...we typically move all large furniture when cleaning....

If not moving a piece of furniture, we trim up a lot of times before the RE...

 

[Desk Jockey]

I start with the RE and end with the wand. Its gets the show started right off and this way if there is and area I could reach or didn't want to get close to I can just hit it with the wand. Finish up with the stair tool on the steps.

We move furniture, doesn't everyone?

A 175red pad and wanding will embarrass a RE

 

[hogjowl]

I move furniture too.
If they want to pay for it.

 

[Mikey P]

Try one.

Wrong
We'll slowly get the TMEff germs out of you.

 

[ruff]

All in all, assuming the carpet is not trashed which requires the extra agitation an RE will provide, how much more additional time (%) will this procedure take?

No. I don't move large furniture.
I gladly leave that domain to the Saiger toddlers and the Chavez munchkins.

 

[hogjowl]

Lot more

careful, those temfers commit suicide over lesser words than that..
