15 minutes dwell time... No agitation...

Straight up regular 12 flow 15 inch Zipper action. There were more tests through out the night too

We did do some red pad tonight after this initial test... And videos are uploading.

This is a real cheap olefin... Just bad carpet for this place..

We saw with the Zipper SS Super Spinner and the lie detector used in Vegas 180 atw with 900 psi spinning it.

Worked for us

Heck regular Zipper was killing it.

I have to say...I'm kinda shocked at the Flex results....I use that in some really bad restaurants and get great results.
I did get a pail of Zipaway that I can't wait to try though...

Whatever that second product is from the left should be named and shamed...... The third was Flex powder w/citrus and fourth was Harvard CitraZov powder....

Did Pizza boy get a pepsi?

As a matter of fact he had a couple Pepsi tonight :)

2nd product from left was a latest and greatest of someone I just had to buy and try. I have not found performance out of it yet and I am following the instructions on the side of each container...

Really trying to analyze best a person can, but there might be some better info available for each product that has not been updated on the side of the container....

But, we got it done and will have an opportunity to test again in a week on carpet and tile and grout job :)

Love this little CRB machine....was probably the best agitation on this carpet tonight over all....

Every carpet is different, so it is nice to have more than one tool available.

Did some red pad under the Rotovac 360 XL also....

This is just a tough carpet to clean no matter what....

This carpet was in such poor shape, but dang, do these brushes kick out some crap....

This was just not quite the best carpet to use this on completely...too inexpensive of a carpet....just as mentioned, hard to clean...

Mark ; Thanks for taking the time to test all those products.

I'm glad to see a high pH powder with oxidizer and solvent did the best job.

How did the RV360 brush head compare to the available Zipper ??

This was a terrible carpet in many ways and the best agitation or response to agitation was with the CRB.

The carpet was super grippy for the Rotovac 360 XL brush head in some areas... And the carpet is in pretty bad shape, but it really does cut out the junk!

I have not had it long enough to operate on a lot of different fibers yet, but some of the carpets we have had a chance to run it on it does a nice job and is leaving things nicely done and very little moisture. We ran a Zipper over after the 360 XL brush head and were not able to extract any water at all in the Zipper site tube.

On this carpet, the best combination ended up being CRB and Zipper or SS Zipper. We tried red pad Scrub too and that did ok in some areas... Again weird cheap olefin...

We have another large carpet and tile and grout job in a week with different carpet and looking forward to trying products and tools again to see what we might learn.

Not a perfect testing world but giving us a chance to try things.
