Prescrub with a rotary

[jwfoulk12]

How many of you rotary guys out there also pre scrub with a 175 or an orbital or CRB?

 

[Ron Lippold]

Cbr on most jobs..

 

[carpetcleaner]

175 to scrub. I only use it if the carpet really needs it.

 

[KevinL]

Shouldn't need to.

 

[dealtimeman]

If it warrant scrubbing now use crbs.

 

[Dolly Llama]

most commercial jobs
some empties
little to never in residential

Commercial carpets if needed.

not since i started using pro zyme plus and osr as a prespray. man this combo has made my job so much easier. i havent prescrubbed in about a year now. and i do mostly apartments and trashed rentals. it even works on nasty greasy restaurants. it helps prevent wickbacks too!

oops im not sure what you mean by a rotary guy. when i pad i dont prescrub.

I got a 175 and a brush for pre scrubbing. I hated lifting that thing out of the van. I never brought it out. Forget about taking it upstairs. Now that I have a RotoVac, it gets used more than my wand.

I have a CRB in the van at ALL times. Some poly carpets can be matted down and need to be scrubbed to lift the pile. I do have a 175 rotary, but only load it up when I know I will be needing it (restaurants or really nasty empties)
The CRB is handy on stairs or occupied residential, as it is easier to control and use in confined spaces.

Ive currently been using the Oreck orbital to pre scrub along with the original rotovac or rx-20 but was just curious as to what you all are using. I just placed my order for a Hoss so i'll be adding that to my arsenal. Commercial gets prescrubbed with a Cimex.

Dude....you running that 2.5 all the way to the wand?

 

[jwfoulk12]
