12 years old, never cleaned, Matrix GS, Oxy Clean and the 360i

[Mikey P]

nicotine, dog oils, burns, wax, ink, desert dust, old person...

just a hint of dullness. which probably wont be there when dry.

the wad of esters in the devfilter was bigger than a bread box.

 

[Mikey P]

the BH did pretty damn good on those furniture dents, eh?

how about the coffee spot against the wall?

40 and pow!

I love poly.

 

[Brody Robert]

Didn't know matrix GS cleaned poly. Isn't that the same as ultra-pac?

Also, what's a BH?

 

[Jim Nazarian]

BH=Brush Head for the Rotovac 360i...it amazes me every time I use it.

 

[Mikey P]

Don't fall for this Poly specific prespray bs.

 

[GreenTechAgain]

Makes me want to get one, RV 360 and brush head.

But then I'm gonna need a bigger truck for all the "stuff".

Just pulled off my 175 to make room for the RX-20 in case I need it tonight.

 

[encapman]

Nice work Mikey!

Love what the Rotovac did to restore the carpet.

I just hit this red wine mess with Cobbs powder brightener (a few days ago).

Went back (today) and scrubbed it with the 10" crb and padded it up with a couple of pads.

Other than padding....I didn't extract anything SHOCKFACE!!!

And it already brought 4 referrals....

I am -inadvertently- becoming good at this padding business (inadvertently because a lot of my customers want dry as soon -or even sooner- as possible)

 

[Jimmy L]

Padding can be a different skill set. But don't over think it like all those other DUMBSHIT vlmer's.

With a 20flow and a #45 blower, I don't blame them.........



Looks great Zalan!

Believe me, that if I could access some of these units with the truckmount.. I'd do it. But since it's impossible and I don't want to deal with taking a porty (longer drying)- my best is to pad.

I don't have drying issues with the fire breather and 20flow.

My job this morning cleaned with the Rotovac 360i quad. Nylon.

This room was a poly.

 

[Doug Rice]

That quad head do dig. I think it pulls more moisture faster than the brush head and works better than the BH if it's not loaded with sand or pet hair.

 

[Mikey P]

I sure didn't find that to be the case. IMO the Quad helped reduce the streaking issue that the 3 port was famous for but I don't think it cleaned all that much faster or deeper.

Doug how many times have you used the BH? Most (myself included) give up on the BH after a time or two because it's too hard to fight it before the brushes wear in.

 

[Doug Rice]

I use the brush head on almost all jobs. I used it the first time without breaking it in and it hopped all over the place, lucky it was a pizza joint. It is my go to head on the RV 360i. I have been using the quad head the last few weeks on nice carpet that doesn't need salvaged and with no pet hair as it seems to leave the carpet dryer. The brush head probably cleans better but most of the jobs it gets used on need a deeper cleaning.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I appreciate that the before and after pictures in this thread were taken from the same vantage point.

 

[Doug Rice]

The quad head has 30% more vac ports extracting dirty water. I also wonder if it extracts better because the brushes are not supporting any of the machine weight and it lets the swoop heads work better.

I'm trying to see how you come to 30% more? If you have 3 vac slots and add a 4th one, isn't that a 25% gain in vacuum? Where 3slots would be at 33% each? Either way, the hole by the base where it gets screwed on isn't any bigger.. Maybe you do get extraction with the 4 slots... Makes me wonder if you loose turbulence though.. Idk physics...

Where's @dgardner when you need him?

 

[Mikey P]

The 9" of combined vac opening create more cfm imo


Excellent for the 370

The VATs, who cares...

Leaving the carpet dryer may be due to the the quad not having knobs to hold it up like the tri-head? Perhaps it can dig a little deeper on some carpet?

 

[Mikey P]

No knobs on the BH

 

[Doug Rice]

How do you use the OxyClean? Is it used as a booster?
