Multiwash

[Condog]

Hello everyone,

I just ordered a Powr-flite Multiwash.
I would appreciate advice on using on carpet, tile & grout, LVP, VCT, wood, mats, etc.
Techniques, chemicals, etc.

I watch Green Rhino videos and he has his methods, but then other people don't follow with a wand.

I'm curious if there is a consensus or common methods.

Thanks, Tony

Probably best to ask for advice before buying the machines?

You mention multiple surfaces, and there are distinct differences in technique for best outcomes.

I really don't see a need for one. Unless you're doing Gym Flooring. A CRB would suit most your other needs.

What's nice about the multi wash is that it picks up the cleaning solution and leaves the floor almost dry.

What to do on a carpet?

Probably would be nice also on laminate or engineered hard wood?

True, but I'm the carpet version of Tim the Tool Time Guy. Rmmm Rmmm.

Sometimes you just want to give them a good show.

I've got one branded as a wizzard, think Truvox/Cimex is the manufacterer?

I dont use it on T&G, I find it doesn't get into the grout lines jjust skims across, manual brush or motorscrubber for me on grout lines

works ok on carpet, but I use my 175 or rotovac if I'm after agitation

do you wanna buy another?

I am following the advice of another carpet cleaner with 30 years of experience.
He likes it for residential. He uses it exclusively for the residential accounts, but brings out the Challenger for stubborn stains (and stairs) after using the Multiwash. He's 68 years old, most of his accounts are regular customers. I'm 58, and looking for something that is light, and easy for me. Right now that's more important for longevity.

I like my Trinity, especially for commercial. It is a bit awkward for some residential settings.
I got the Multiwash, and tried it out. It is easy, and a good tool. Like any tool it has strong and weak points. I can see this being something I can work with though.

I read a post here where someone said "Leave it to a carpet cleaner to take something and find a way to use it in our industry." Something along those lines.
I was hoping to find someone who uses this tool and had some advice, that's why I posted this thread.
