You're NOT using a regular 175! It is a 175, but on the very small side. I see why you're not getting solution on hard floors. Lord that would take a while to clean a house!!!! You can't make it go fast.
Kenny,
Just remembering ?

How much TIME it takes to legally dump waste water ?

I wonder how many carpet cleaners break the law everyday???

I don't! I have a half acre lot with gravel driveway off the back of my shop that is surrounded by a large circle drive. If you dump in grass, you're not breaking the law. Actually, it's just like dirty auto scrubber water.

Lucky You!
Salt lake city, Utah that would be against the Law....{ To be legal, you had to go into the sewer system }

I remember buying those pump out systems.

I don't remember how many we went through?

Oh my gosh, they were expensive $$$

And they didn't work half the time?

But we were always trying to stay within the law?!!!

We did have 5 free RV dump stations around Salt Lake City!

The only problem was, they had signs saying NO carpet cleaning dumping --LOL LOL

There was no luck involved in my shop. I had it built to accommodate
all my equipment, whether it was pulling trailers through one gate and around and through my shop or to the side under a lean to. The dumping situation was by design.
I walk out of my shop go across the backyard and I'm home😀 My Girls are set if they want be.

I get that, and I have small waste tanks. Also don't do residential. The ones who do, I'm confident they don't keep doing the same old illegal things you think year after year for 30 yrs.

Let's not overcomplicate cleaning carpet


The TM Manufacturers want you to spend Thousands on something you don't need today

And it's not necessary

Unless you don't like Money

Cleaning carpet doesn't take $30,000 plus in equipment



The experts say 85% is removed with a Vacuum

That leaves 15% that's sticking to the Fiber



Cleaning Carpet is a Very SIMPLE and EASY Process

Detergent Scrub Remove



LESS water MORE agitation !!!

No !!!

Illegal dumping in New Jersey will get you a HUGE Fine

Customers would tell me you can dump in my yard but I never did and businesses would tell me just dump in the parking lot but I never did

One of the BEST decisions I have ever made was switching to VLM


Life is BETTER, when you're VLM !!!

Kenny,
What brand of dry volatile solvent? Do you recommend?
I've been using VacAway Pig Out for over 10 years but it was out of stock for months so I had to find another brand

I started using Bridgepoint Solvent Clean

They both work great but Solvent Clean has a little less order
