Now let me really piss (pun intended) some people off and tell you how Mark and I also agree that in many cases you would be better off removing the visible soil from a kitty house with microfiber pads and a deep “cleaning” TOPS machine, along with a non-residual enzyme/encap…

Pow!





The old ICS Mikey P just rolled over in his grave.





Makes sense?

No?

Yes?



Please leave a comment, or a bullshit, macho "24 flow is best" theory below…

This thread has some good points and really made me think about some things, but I respectfully disagree with the above. I'm always going to recommend urine treatment, rinsing, and extracting in pet homes.

I often joke in my community that I'm the only carpet cleaner on the planet that does not have the words "pet, urine, dog, cat, enzyme, or deodorizer" on his website because I don't want to deal with people wacky enough to believe that they can pay somebody to defy gravity...
I could not agree more, always under promise and exceed those expectations.

I can see the potential for short term microbial amplification beyond the normal amount expected with pets especially if we are talking over-wetting and extended dry times which might make diaper spinning the better option.

On the other hand with "bonnet" cleaning methods you are putting more of that nastiness into the air.

Not sure which is more unhealthy to the occupants.

Putting it into the air, how?

Good grief,. How stupid.


If they are implying somehow that the onboard spray system atomizes the chemistry then they've obviously never seen out of a hydroforce or pump up sprayer works. As far as a OP machines ability to fling the cooties into the air or the dress that with what an airpath is able to do drawing the muck up that the hot water extractor dude just created

Spray systems are addressed as having the potential to spread microbes by both the CDC and the IICRC. One of the reasons you don't "spray" mold.

Same with air movement. We aren't talking about air movement though and you know most cleaners don't take the fans off the truck even if they have them.

The CDC says that there is less chance of spread with "wet vacuuming" as noted in the linked paper with a mentioned case.;

Is this the same CDC that convinced the public that COVID-19 was being spread by airborne droplets?

I guess every nurse and doctor that I talk to must be dumb as dumb..

:icon_rolleyes: Assuming you understand what they are saying the ones "you talk to" must be. Aerosols being the primary mechanism of spread isn't even in question at this point and really never was.


but this isn't about covid (or getting this thread moved). It's about cleaning methods.


No telling how much fine art you've contaminated with mold at this point

2 ways to do it
1Vacuum over to remove spores
Spray antimocrobial

2Cover the mold with the plastic adhesive.
Cut out sheetrock
