Prevacuumed.... Small two bedroom house. Quite dirty for a three year old carpet.

Pretreated with Prochem Heavy Artillery at 16oz/gallon in pump up. Rinsed with 360XL and drystroked with 14 inch Greenhorn.

I had to pull the inline filter bag twice during RXing this small home. These crappy carpets are shedding like crazy.

And this is what you get out. Homeowner was kinda shocked, how much shedding he saw.

Same here...it takes longer to vacuum and prespray/scrub then to rinse.

Truckmount with 220-230 degrees diesel fired heat set to 400psi.

These crappy carpets are so matted down in traffic lanes that you could NOT clean with a wand. You have to force the pile upright with a Rotary X-tractor.. (edited for Nate)

three flights of stairs in this heap so we scrubbed with the Flex/Oxy in with a Brush Pro and that dual headed Sapphire mini scrubber on the steps.

DevPro/ICE rinse...came out fantastic.

I rinsed with Prochem All Fiber rinse.

Came out nice except in front of a chair where the old chap dresses and in front of the couch where he sits a lot. There was light gray shading...

I'm sure it's abrasion/wear.. Hit it with high pH, low pH...scrubbed and rotovaced and still no luck.

These carpets are the reason I got the 360XL... For its aggressiveness. Since we started seeing so many of these every day in the past few years.

The results are far better with an RE.

You can struggle with a wand and spend much more time and effort and the RE finished product would still look better and be cleaner.

I'll GUARANTEE you it's all hype coming from Taco.

There's no way he could possibly know.

I ordered my Zipper last week, and was told they don't offer the blue anodized Zip anymore. What gives?

Oh, and it came without the solution-lock feature, that is shown in the operation and maintenance video.

Yea he quit taking special orders. No one told me it was only for a limited time. Guess I'll have to wrap it in blue at the sign place. No biggie! :cool:

I just love my Zipper Wands... But I love all the tools on my truck right now... Right down to the Butler truckmount!

I am a tool geek and when I like something, I let people know!

Another great addition I have to say this year was adding the Rotovac 360 XL's... Dang... I LOVE ALL THESE NEW TOOLS!

I can clean a lot of things in a day... And... I have people still burning up my phone and begging or waiting for us rather than our competitors...

What can I say....
