You're using to much/ too strong a dilution ,if its foaming.

Because its totally non residual, I dont obsess on rinsing with either method, just twoo wand or pad passes and move on

Beware, it's foamy if trying to rinse with hwe.

 

[hogjowl]

Yeah, but you’re a total hack now.

Using at about 8-1. You notice it more with a portable.

I don’t want to see you here, but I do.

So ik for a fact portables foam more specifically from what I believe is because you're putting way less water down when rinsing so in theory it doesn't dilute near as much as when using a truckmount.

I think meter maid might have a point

No, not with my portable. It foams more because of the small waste tank. Truck mounts can foam as badly. I have had some carpets when someone has been spot cleaning and the area under my wand turns white with old residue. You also hear the difference in the airflow of the wand. With a truck mount, the wand will usually clear. With a portable, you might end up with dirty foam and water blowing out of the exhaust.

Yea I can agree there my portable has a small tank as well and had some issues before they sent a fix for it with excessive foaming. However I still believe if you use more water for diluting when rinsing with say a truck mount bc the flow is typically higher in theory if all criteria is met. Say proper chemical spraying with no introduction to customers crazy chems. In a side by side comparison the truck mount may foam less? Idk just speculating here lol

It's all relative

True

 

[Jim Pemberton]

Even on upholstery where Grandpas head left a gooey mess?

Depends on the fabric.

I’ve had a few reports of color loss on natural fiber fabrics due to the pH

Are we talking tops or fels???

Thats what im wondering

TOPS

Not a criticism of the product; there are a lot of great, effective products that can cause problems on natural fiber fabrics.

So does fels Naptha cause the same issues on natural fibers?

 

[hogjowl]

it’ll get grape stain out of a cotton t-shirt

 

[Jim Pemberton]

So does fels Naptha cause the same issues on natural fibers?

I haven’t any experience with it, so I wouldn’t want to guess

Good to know

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

So does fels Naptha cause the same issues on natural fibers?

Short answer; no.

I’ve used it on almost everything.

Never had an issue.

Again, just make sure to rinse well…

 

[SamIam]

My thinking on color loss would be heat?

What type of heat? encaps have ammonia, heat transfer if to hot will pull color.

Just like a red stain.

 

[Austin Willoughby]

Short answer; no.

Awesome good to know. I'll be sure to add it to my arsenal

I read once where clorox causes issues in natural fibers, but don't qoute me...

 

[SamIam]

I read once where clorox causes issues in natural fibers, but dint qoute me...

Well yeah

Methinks that I piqued your ire by mentioning that TOPS isn't always a good idea on natural fibers.

Read my reply again please.

Just the fact that someone used a 13 and then gripe about the obvious predictable results erks me.

Gotcha

You should see the “dichlor wars” the Ruggies engage in

(“Ruggie” being preferred a preferred nomenclature that 3.0 should use rather than the unfortunate LGBTQ reference 1.0 used)
