100% VLM ???

[Living The Dream]

I don't consider it a sin to HWE

It's just the Old Fashioned Way

But if you use the HWE Method and get carpets dry in 2-5 hours. Great !!!

I just prefer a more profitable and simpler way to clean carpet, with 1-2 hour dry times


LESS water MORE agitation !!!

Profitable? For sure.
Simple? No argument there.

But if you know you’re leaving soil behind, “clean” is a generous word for it.

Especially when a lot of those encap products are also leaving behind fluorochemical “forever chemicals” in homes.

Living The Dream, when you pre-spray at 400 psi do you think that you get the backing of carpet and possibly the pad wet ?

 

[Kenny Hayes]

I don't prespray at 400 psi. More like 350, and turn up the rinse. If I did, the spray fans in a pattern that it couldn't possibly get the pad wet. I'm like Wayne Quigley in Quigley Down Under, I don't have much use for residential, I didn't say I couldn't do it!

Only if you don’t know what you’re doing…

I'm just wondering? Even at 200 psi do you think the backing of carpet and top portion of pad get moist or wet? From let's say a Hydro-Force? { Gravity?}

Frankie, do you really think you're getting the carpet clean by vibrating a bonnet over it, made for interim commercial carpet maintenance?

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.. YMMV

As soon as he drags his $1200 dollar wand with 400 psi attached to 150 ft of hose that's connected to his $30,000 plus TM that carpet is instantly dry

WRONG !!!

With all the money he has invested in his equipment that carpet should be dry as soon as he drags that wand across the SURFACE

But because of WATER PRESSURE most of the water is at the bottom of the carpet with the dirt, prespray, and detergent NOT on the SURFACE

Thick dense carpet is a huge problem for HWE

TRUTH !!!


Long time customer. Living Room and Hall are always bad

Used VacAway Double Trouble 9.5 ph at 2 oz and 4 oz of Detonator (Peroxide) on carpet

I also cleaned the 2 Chairs Sofa and Lveseat


Thick dense carpet Clean and DRY in 1-2 hours

Nate, If you really wanna know if you're leaving chemical and dirt behind? There is a test you can do. I've done this more then once in past. Next time you clean an empty apartment that is semi dirty .Get it as clean as you can. Then detach the carpet from wall, feel the back of the carpet and fill the top of the pad and if it has a Membrane, please make sure you wipe it down. then reattach carpet. Then you will honestly know???

 

[Kenny Hayes]

You can do it with carpet tile. You don't have to go through all of that, plus it's thinner. I know!

Nasty day outside

35 degrees Heavy Rain Wind Damp Cold and Miserable

But my Van Doors are closed and customers House Door is closed. No heat getting out or cold getting in

Working in Bad Weather is much easier and better using the VLM Method

And carpet will be dry in 1-2 Hours



One of the girls that works at my Apt Complex is moving into a new home and she asked her favorite carpet cleaner ME, to freshen up the carpet before she moves in

Nice Big House with Nylon carpet

I used Carpet Details at 4 oz and Detonator ( Peroxide ) at 4 oz

WORX Sprayer with 8003 Teejet

Light Blue Microfiber Bonnets and Tankless Vibe with 3 weights on each side

Soft White Brushes on CRB's to scrub and Groom



Life is BETTER using the VLM Method !!!

That's what I clean mostly, that's how I know. I wouldn't have said it if I didn't. Plus, it's easy to pull up around the edge. Some has rubber
backing that certainly doesn't get wet, and some you glue down or not. You don't penetrate through the tile at 600 psi. I don't clean at that high regularly since there's no need to for me. All of that is a myth. By the way, I use the Cimex way when I can.

My guy, Chem Dry would still be bonneting carpets if they could get away with it.. Funny how a vlm marketing company needed to join the very industry they were bashing for decades..

Appearance method is just that, appearance.. Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining..

If it works for you, keep on keepin' on!

There you go, it's not hard

 

[Mikey P]

Every carpet cleaner I know personally offers all methods

And I know a LOT of cleaners outside of this board .


Nothing new....

 

[Kenny Hayes]

I'm with you. Grandma and grandpa just need their carpet tidied up during winter months, get the OP after it. That's no sin. No need to #spin a tale
