100% VLM ???

You're making it way too hard if you insist on vlming residential, which obviously you are. There's no way red pad can pull the same amount of hair as a crb with renovators. If so, you need different brushes, or a better crb. Hair don't absorb into that pad. The most it might do is being pressed and twisted against the pad, not absorbed. CRBbbb

Red Pulls!

Microfiber ABSORBED!!!

 

[jessi]

I have to agree with kenny. I have not been cleaning near as long as most of you but in my experience the 175 doesn’t grab embedded hair/debris deep into fibers like a crb does..it scrubs really good tho

I will NEVER stop using my CRB

NEVER

I've been using a CRB for over 10 Years

I starting using a CRB when I was HWE

Bought my first CRB ( Whittaker) used off ebay. Not sure what year that was. Didn't like it because it didn't have trays. Sold the Whittaker and bought another CRB with trays and I have been in love ever since

I got a lot of experimenting to do with a 175-300 to see what works for me


To start I will use it to put down cl02 using a Fiber Pad or Bonnet Pro Multi Brush

Then put down prespray with WORX Sprayer and CRB with 14'' Brush Master Pro

Then extract with 175-300 and Microfiber

Then groom with 10'' CRB


I'm replacing the OP with the 175-300 for jobs using cl02

 

[SteamwayPro]

Amazon, different brands. I normally do not buy 3M?

I normally get 10 cases at a time?

clo2 --I like the way you are Thinking!!!

Do you use cl02 for odor jobs

 

[frank fratto]

Do you use cl02 for odor jobs

Hydrogen peroxide for 80% of my urine jobs.

10% OSR.

10% clo2

Sometimes if it's really Bad, OSR then come back the next day CL02. { THIS IS GOLD }

{ Make sure you charge for it! }

Do you just add a lot Hydrogen Peroxide to Carpet Details and clean with

How Many ounces

 

[SteamwayPro]

I don't trust using too much Peroxide on nylon

Never used more than 5 ounces

Think of it this way?

Have you ever put stain magic on carpet and walk away?

Steamers,

Can't use hydrogen peroxide like we can?

We're not using it with HOT WATER!

 

[SteamwayPro]

George,

What is your process?

If customer wants to flush out visible urine stains I use a water claw with my portable and cl02

 

[frank fratto]

Water Claw, what a great Invention!!!

Or do you use it straight

My phone is still DEAD because of that DAMN Snow

Only did two jobs this week

I just go to the gym everyday


Yesterdays job. She gets this done every Year in December. Just a Living Room and Dining Room

Tankless Vibe with 2 weights on each side

Scrub with 14' Brush Master Pro CRB

Groom 10'' CRB


2 Bonnets for each Room

2 TOPS Glad Pads for Dining Room

2 Bonnet Pro Ironman for Living Room


LESS water MORE agitation !!!

 

[SteamwayPro]

There are the 4 Bonnets I used yesterday

Hot Water and Procyon Plus Powder does a good job at cleaning Cotton Bonnets

Bonnet Pro Ironman on Top

TOPS Glad Pads on Bottom

Bonnet Pro Ironman are excellent Bonnets. They really grab the carpet and extract dirt. They're my favorite Bonnet for filthy Residential Carpet

And they clean up better than any other Cotton Bonnet

 

[SteamwayPro]

Straight, On spots.

Plus I add it to Carpet Details [I love that stuff!!!]


No HEAT....

I use VacAway Oxi-Moxie for urine stains and many other stains

It's a strong Peroxide based crystallizing anti-resoiling spotter

And it also prevent stains from coming back

I carry it when I'm vacuuming and just spray it on stains as I go and usually they're gone when I start cleaning


THANK YOU VacAway !!!

Then I would have too much work

I only want to do 1-2 jobs a day during the busy season

Winter 2-3 jobs a week

33 Years in business so I have plenty of customers and their referrals

Plus my Apt Complex but that's usually only 4-6 Apartments a month

They just replace all the bad carpet
