He did get some work done with the aid of the Rotovac 360 XL while he was watching cartoons

Harvard special Saiger blend for the sauce....

Nice results Markie.....

Just out of curiosity, have you ever PH tested the carpet after rinsing the special sauce out?

Actually, my brother has been doing some testing....

It right now is going down at 10 to 10.3 ph....

He doesn't have numbers for the final rinse entirely yet....Still testing with a few different things to try and see if we are accurate....but it has been looking very positive.....

We have been using this for about 4 years now, and have had no resoil issues and positive results....

What type of PH meter is being used? The pen or the probe style?

Today, my brother contacted me again....

It is a 2 prong digital probe type that he calibrates the same way for each test with distilled water

Today, he told me when the prespray hits the carpet (on the carpet) it is coming in at 9.0

When he extracted (with a rinse agent) the carpet was a 7.5 after extraction

The water he was using, also tested at 7.0-7.5 (some was well water today)

We still have some rinse agents to go....and are really trying to put it through the paces to be able to correctly answer questions such as this...

We are also curious for ourselves of course, and with others asking, it is nice to be able to provide some data....

Sounds great... I appreciate the report back as many are clueless...

With pops being a flooring inspector and having to correct problems for manufactures, you need to be on your "A" game..

Hey Mark,
Most of us would kill to have as awesome employee as Aron.

Can't over emphasize how dang lucky we are....

I was trying to get ready for an online meeting last night....

Had to run to the store for a head set with a mic.

Had an apartment complex just banging away on my phone while rushing back to the home office and talking to a number of other cleaner friends about things....

Finally called the office hot line....Got the wife.....

Fire department dragged hoses up 2 floors for a smoke damage...hoses leaked and flooded 2 floors....

Called the "Boy Wonder" and he went out for 3 hours and took care of the mess....BY HIMSELF!!!

He was beat A$$ tired from all our work...., babysitting the kids....and still dug in and got it more than done!

He came back even while we were still in the online meeting....downloaded pics out to me...(had a beer)...ran for home...and was back in the shop by 8 am....and just kicking it!!!!

This kid is something to watch our for in this industry....

He has some MAD skills and has only learned them from me....so I am his downfall....

He will be in Vegas at the show, and to him...that will be a big deal...

Even just someone saying "Hi" to him or telling him they have heard about him....he will have a smile 20 miles long!

Dang finest young man....and he just found out his mom (52 years of age) has one year to live with her third bout of Blood cancer..... :(

A lot for anyone to deal with....

He is the son I never had, but the Son In Law I have been blessed with! (and father of my most awesome Grandsons!) :rockon:

Sorry for the long response...but just really felt the need for you guys to know more about him

So Mark you do edge clean up to the tile but not around the walls. Does the XL get really close? Do you ever get "Tac-Strip-Rip"tm on your Glides?
