Low moisture cleaning

[Cody Ransom]

So I want to get more into low moisture cleaning but I'm not really sure where to start to learn how to do it really good. I've done the Low moisture cleaning and it turns out good. I've had a couple situations like spots and I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get the spots out with the low moisture without leaving a residue. So I'm wondering where can I look to start learning more about it?

Ask Damon Williams over on FB to join his group...I think it's called Pad for life all things VLM or something like that.
But I believe every one on this forum does it at times as well. Just start a thread on what your specific questions are and I'm sure you will get all the help you need.

vacaway's forum and encapboard are both good places to learn the finer details...both suppliers also have info to help you get started

Cody, the links Fred provided are great resources. There are also many cleaners here that use low moisture in addition to their HWE or are entirely VLM. Richard and Derek come to mind.

And to answer your question, there various spotters out there that do not require a rinse.

And if you order the sample kit from vacaway, you will get a great assortment of spotters and that chart.

But just to warn you this isn't rocket science. Don't over think this. The problem with getting connected with those boards is that the participates do over think the process. Adding this "super encapsulate" to that " Big bomb" and then adding " Ghetto formula" to make a big mess. And always view the boards as they are captured shills who push that maker's products. Because they get FREE samples sent to them. Nerds of the industry who think they are scientists. After awhile you'll realize what idiots they really are.

There's some truth to Jimmy's post. Many cleaners over complicate the process, though his statement can easily be applied to both methods.

With VLM you can use something as simple as a 175 dual speed along with a vacuum, 2 - 3 types of pads, shower feed, pump sprayer and encap to start low moisture cleaning. The variances will be things like wanting to go faster (OP, Cimex, etc.), tackling residential properly (which pads, chems and when to opt for extraction/flushing), etc.

Thank you for the help I have been playing around with VLM for fun. It's cool how well it does. I knew that encapsulation worked well but I tried Host's compound that stuff is crazy.
