Has anyone ever rinse a wood floor with their TM after a light stripping on a low psi? Like 100 psi.

Why mess up a good or even a bad porty? Just use a Ridgid wet vac for that and toss it if needed. But it won’t be needed.

We used a shop vac on the last VCT job we did, and it worked well.
Someone suggested a porty and.... thought it might be better.
I'm sure you do a lot of VCT as I know your biz is mostly commercial.
Thanks for the input.

I would suggest 28” Kiavac floor tool. They are really good for pick up. Adapt the hose to 1 1/2 and you can even use 50’ if you want. We use mostly 25.

loads of times...countless.


Use a Brush Glide on your lowest PSI setting and use your hose ball valve to adjust to a shower feed like trickle.


and dont be a dumb shit about it.

Know wood from MDF.

Not anymore. Back a year of so ago, I screwed up a hardwood floor with the original intent to just clean. In the beginning, I went through all the proper steps and I did all the testing to check for acrylic and the test came back negative. I went to start cleaning, and used the purple stuff that Basic Coatings (douchebag company) suggested using on a heavier soiled area. The whole area clouded up on me! I started stripping the area with Basic coatings "green stripper" (douchebag product) and it wasn't coming up. I went aggressive with more agitation and started pulling up the wood stain and damaged the floor.

Not a cheap fix. This floor was that hand carved crap that has a cheap stain on the surface. I called their customer service in drastic need for help before I tried the aggressive agitation. All they told me was I should've used their product in the test kit that they use for stripper. I told them, they should've never sold that green crap if it isn't gonna work properly because I just damaged a floor.

So from this time on, I dropped any hardwood floor service and refer the work over to a hardwood floor specialist business if they need anything more than a maid service to do general cleaning on the hardwood.

Today's hardwood floors are overpriced junk. Did I say Basic Coating is a crappy company? Let me say it again: Basic Coatings is a douchebag company!
