RE swirls- Hoss

[Desk Jockey]

If they are so good why do I always read threads about needing different spray bars, flow controls, glides etc. sounds like pain in the a-- to me.

Yes but you could say the same about TM's because there are many posts about issues with TM's.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Yeah, but if you prescrub with a 175 and rinse with a Zipper, you don't have swirls in the carpet that won't come out.

And that is what this tread is about.

True for commercial. But unless trashed I might just use a Cimex.

Alot of people like to customize their crap to make it the way they want. one tool setup 1 way doesn't clean everything. It's all about finding out what works for you and what your preferences are.

 

[Desk Jockey]

This business is easy, some just want to make it harder on themselves.

1) Zipper
2) RE any of the newer models RX-20 is not newer
3) Cimex
4) dual jet or more long handled stair tool.

Its so easy...its cheesy!

At least Chevez and I can understand each other. When your cracker-ass calls me it sounds like Gomer talking.

This is exactly the reason I bought my first drag wand and then later the zipper years ago. I was tired of leaving swirls in my commercial that where all but permanent. I did find if I kept my temp down I was less likely to leave permanent swirls. Now I use my cimex for agitation and my zipper for extraction, or if it's really trashed and impacted my cx-15. The cx-15 gets that extra agitation without swirl marks on commercial carpet. Can't wait till that SS comes out! I have found that over time and repeat cleanings the swirls will eventually go away if you quit using a RE. But it will take a few years. My RE is strictly residential now but I also wouldn't be without it.

Cracker ass................ is that some sort of southern insult?

 

[ronbeatty]

A cimex, Zipper and Prochem titanium wand will clean everything I have done in 40 years.

I love my Zipper Wands... I really do.. My family is instructed to bury me with it... Lol

But there is just sometimes I need my Rotovac 360 XL's... "

Not every carpet needs an RE... But there are just some days I need to dig it out and use it... Not everyday and not every week...

But there is just sometimes it is the magic...

Yeah.... And I am a tool junkie

I will have to enroll in a 12 step program someday....

Until then... I keep adding to the Arsenal of weapons at my ready

Mark do you have one of my "LecTroCobs" ?

Right now they are on sale for $1,995 priced under a zipper for my price advantage.

No, I have it and it's not for sale.

I do not have the experience with rje on commercial carpet. I clean residential with the Rotovac 360i quad head.

I have found that I need to turn the heat down on my fuel oil burner Steam Way Powermatic when I rotary jet extract. I can avoid the heat distortion streaking and the swirl marks with less heat, faster movement over the carpet, and by a 90 degree cleaning pass after the initial cleaning passes, followed by a dry pass and then groom.

I used to use the twin head original RV and that produced tighter swirls that were more difficult to remove.

 

[jwfoulk12]

I use my RE way more in residential then my zipper. But I won't touch commercial any more with my RE.

 

[BradFenstermaker]

10-4 on dropping the heat down. Spoke with Scott this am and thats the first thing he said too.
In gerneral 50% overlap or can I do a 1/3 overlap?

 

[jcooper]

Because people have money to spend and like to spend it on this crap.

Yeah, but if you prescrub with a 175 and rinse with a Zipper, you don't have swirls in the carpet that won't come out.

Don't use the rotary on commercial if you are worried. I don't use it for exactly this reason, but in the home... Nothing cleans better.

You guys know there is a spinny thing on the bottom that agitates the carpet as you use it.

 

[Captain America]

IMO Rx20 has about 10% of agitation as a scrubber.......
With the zipper...no swirls, no raking, no elec. cord......
This whole discusion shows my prediction a 1 1/2 years ago.....
Rotary extractors are fading fast, they are always going to be around, but they will go the way of the
Unglided wand...I still see unguided wands.....
I remember these same discussions about glides 8-10 years ago....it will be the same with these rotaries....
There is a new sheriff in town!!!

[Mikey P]

Too funny.

Can a Grandi Groomer out scrub a 175?

 

[Lee Stockwell]

No matter the tool, someone can screw it up.

 

[BradFenstermaker]

Whats that supposed to mean Lee?
