EMULSIFIER MEANS

[Dolly Llama]

for someone that only ran 45s hth would you know

umm..Bobbles, you ran that 47 blower at 1600 rpm
a fookin 36 blower @ 3200 rpm has more guts

..L.T.A.

Actually I ran it at 1650...so what' yor point I was suckin in plenty air...MY tm
Was sealed tight

 

[bob vawter]

You'd be hard pressed to keep up with us Bob.

I think the best compromise is a "low dose" of in tank or inline injected emulsifier that will adequate for areas NOT hit with the prespray.

An example is behind furniture after the center is presprayed.

I've heard tales of cleaners using trigger sprayers or wonky inconsistant pump ups, and then randomly hitting a room as if cleaning in the dark.

Yes...names changed to protect the guilty. .....lol

My Dad was a one step in tank cleaner back in the day, if it was extra dirty he'd 2 step and prespray a room with his wand before extracting.
No vacuuming either that was what the customer did.
He had lots of happy repeat customers.

But couple extra steps do make massive difference to the job and your rep if your competition doesn't

Yes. ..that is what I call prespray. ..lol

 

[bob vawter]

you're either delusional or in denial

..L.T.A.

Yes....delusional when I GAVE you that 45 and in denial when you didn't even thank me.....happy frickin birtday....!

Question : if it' so wrong.....why do all the big multi truck guys use the process.....hth could they stay in business this long and have the great reputations they have?
I believe Chester must be the only Stanley guy that doesn't emulsify...if he's telling the truth. ...

I never said we didn’t use an alkaline cleaning solution. We pre-spray with an alkaline pre-spray via hydroforce, agitate via CRB (only in 2 of my 8 locations), rinse with an alkaline solution (8.5 - 9.5 ph) with a Dwyer setting at 7. Let me add that I have 1 location that strictly does a freshwater rinse after pre-spraying.

 

[bob vawter]

Up here in Mi....the Stanley guys don't carry a vacuum cleaner and they all emusify along with THE other two big companies

 

[jcooper]

Dwyer setting at 7.

You know that's a lot right?

I do my best to make a habit of speaking for only myself.

 

[CJ-FL]

To be honest no I don’t really know. But theoretically wouldn’t the judgement of “a lot” or “a little” depend on the exact formulation of what’s being applied?

Not trying to agree or disagree and it may be a lot but I would think that the “appropriate quantity” would be dependent upon what the product was. Maybe I’m over thinking it.

 

[bob vawter]

Yor right Chester. .it would depend on how you mixed the product..
I ran one cup per fi gallon jug and set the Dryers at four....it was powder...
Best stuff ever

However, any cleaner worth a grain of salt has much greater expectations then the client. Hopefully that's the case with most here.[/QUOTE]


Not true.

Show me the math..plz

I always use a alkaline rinse. Have been doing it for years and get excellent results with no resoiling problems. Most of my business is repeat customers so I am familiar with their soiling problems. I use a mild alkaline prespray, 9.5-10 ph and similar ph rinse. Testing the carpet afterwards, the pH is usually neutral. A clear water rinse does not necessarily remove all of your prespray.

I'm sure you know what you are doing, not trying to bust your balls. Don't listen to the bottle if you have the meter at 7!

Emulsify means to make an emulsion.

 

[steve_64]

Those carpets look that bad to start with because of all the emulsifier used last time.

Any rinse will probably get those clean.

Don be a shit stirrer Steve..

Nobody likes a shit stirrer......

Stir the shit enough, it will become emulsified.
