how much pre-spray do you use???

[Dolly Llama]

I doesn't matter to me which brand pre-spray you use, nor at what RTU dilution you mix at.
I'm just curious how much you apply on average.

to make it easy, and keep the variables down to minimum.... lets assume it's "average" grade synthetic wall to wall of moderate to heavy soil conditions .
No urine contamination or filtration soil..just regular ole "normAl" soil

I use a hydroforce full for about 1,000 sq ft

you ever bucket test it, Crowe-dAwg, to know what GPM your HF puts out?

no, I stripped everything off of it too including steel ball

 

[Dolly Llama]

no,

well go bucket test it, you jOystIck
do it
DO IT NOW!!!

We clean mostly lightly soiled carpet, so it goes a little further 1500sq/ft per hydroforce. Maybe closer to 1000sq/ft on heavier soiled.

We don't do many trashed jobs. Ironic, we charge more and clean cleaner carpet. My competition charges a lot less and cleans a lot of trashed carpets. :shock:

i dont think people are reading that right...

less then a gallon on 500sqft???? thats like misting it...


on these strip mall jobs i have they run around 1500-2000 with shelves so a little less of carpet...

i use a 10 gallon porty full....and that is spraying it moderately to light..

soooooo 2000 / 10 is 200 ft per gallon

1500 is 150...

Marc if you ever took algebra you would know it an impossible equation since we do not have enough of the equation. Even with my superior brain function it would still only be a guess. Based on mix it would be about 1 gallon RTU per 350. We would need a bucket test to actually come up with the answer
