Hello Fellow cleaners

If anyone has any recomnedations for a pad machine and the best products to use I would greatly apprecaite the input...

First you have to decide if you want to actually remove soil or just grind it in and hope that the polymer and soil vacuums out later?


I prefer the op method that utilizes various pad types to agitate and extract soil from the carpet but you do have to do some laundry with this process.

And you would want designated washer and dryer set up at your facility in order to do so.

I endorse and sell the Trinity line of op machines.
I'd be more than happy to talk to you over the phone about their pros and cons

Next April we will be in Indianapolis cleaning a very large Ronald McDonald House along with a couple days of education and while you probably don't want to wait that long it'll be a excellent opportunity for you and some team members to come get your hands dirty and learn from the very best.

I have time later today, Pacific Standard Time if you'd like to get on the phone

The 2 best machines in my experience are the Trinity Phoenix and the HOS Sprayborg. Both well made, rugged machines that spray and scrub in one motion. The key to encap cleaning is good vacuuming. Remove as much dry soil as possible. Then use a premium encap solution along with the right pads. I usually use Saiger's Code Red of Encaps which has a peroxide component to it. It literally wipes out coffee, water and many other organic stains. I use the Tops spotter for greasier stains. I have done mainly hwe for over 40 years and am converting the majority of my commercial accounts to vlm. I get great results and make more money per hour. Much more.

I have a washing machine at the shop but just air dry my pads.

I’m doing 9000 sqft tomorrow. Tool of choice is going to be my TOPS Phoenix. I’ve done the same job every spring and fall for the last 5 years. I used to use my Cimex, it just didn’t work as well as the TOPS.
Chem of choice is DS2 spiked W/peroxide.
Lots of coffee stains.

LOVE the fact you can clean and reuse the pads…
