Dry Slurry

[Jtuseo]

I just ordered a 48 pound pail of it. I have never tried it before. I normally use soap free or clean free but both distributers do not have it in stock. Do you guys think I will be happy with it?

I've used it for many years as my emulsifier. I run soft water and mix it at less than half the suggested rate.

 

[hogjowl]

Mixed at the recommended rate is is VERY foamy, or it used to be and I doubt they've changed the formula. It cleans well; could be used as a prespray in many situations. My problem with it was the foam. It probably didn't hurt a thing, but I kept thinking it must be killing my vacuum, so I stopped using it.

 

[FLYERMAN]

Great stuff. Never had a problem with it.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Used it for more than a decade, great stuff. You won't want to go back to your old chems.

 

[SamIam]

I prefer the liquid in a truckmount but a porty or electro mount doesn't matter. It's good stuff maynard

 

[Dan]

Yep.... Ditto to the good stuff comments. Try reducing the recommended amounts to reduce foaming as suggested to meet your needs.

 

[Shane T]

I've never had a problem with foam, maybe cuz I reduced the mix rate. Larry's right about using it as a PS in certain situations. There a occasions when I know a carpet will clean easily, prespray with the wand as I walk into the room.

 

[Steve Lawrence]

Been using it for 20+ years. Nice fragrance and good emulsification of soils. Never a problem with foam at recommended dilution.

Then you need to look at your waste water.

Then you need to look at your waste water.

Are you using a mount or a porty??? In a mount if theres foam in the hose there's less air flow and its audibly noticable. use crystal defoamer. that said I alway go about 16 oz for a 5 gal pre mix works fine.

 

[Bucey]

It's way better than the soap free. I did not like that stuff! I have completely stopped using others.

 

[hogjowl]

I use a TM, of course. I am a real cleaner.

When using Dry Slurry, you will see a ton of soapy water running down main street when you dump your water.

How does it compare to 02 rinse (when used as a rinse)?
Or are you guys just using it as a emulsifier?

 

[Vivers]

I used it for years and it works ok IMO. Don't run it through the TM as it clogs up everything. Use it as a pre spray and rinse with and acidic rinse for best results. There are tons of better pre sprays out there for sure.

 

[SamIam]

As with a lot of products when finished cleaning stop chemical flow with valve then hook a strap around wand and let flow to cool machine fresh water will keep the deposits from forming. liquid 90 is great for no blockage everything else leaves white crap. but fresh water flush or even acid works to.

Dry Slurry is my emulsifier. Never used O2 Prespray as a rinse. I use O2 Prespray as my regular PS and rinse with clear water or Slurry. I like Judson's rinse to but don't know if it cleans as well as DS when not prespraying.

 

[hogjowl]

Supposedly, you need the Judson's rinse if you are using O2, because it is hard to rinse that orange peel thingamabobstuff they put in there. So, if you are rinsing O2 prespray with just water.

You are a hack!

 

[Desk Jockey]

Never had the foaming problems or resoiling.

It kicks ass, when we switched from a clear water rinse to Dry Slurry we had a ton of people saying it had never looked as good as this last time (using Slurry).

We immediately switched to using Dry Slurry, the carpets were brighter and looked better than the fresh water rinse.

Trying to leave it as neutral as possible wasn't leaving as clean as using the emusifier. Nearly screwed ourselves trying to do the right thing.

 

[bob vawter]

PICS?????

 

[hogjowl]

I wonder if not prevacuuming increases the need for an emulsifier rinse?

 

[Desk Jockey]

We pre vacuum bacon back. Try again!


Here you go bawb!
