Restaurant carpet

[PristineFlooringRestoration916]

I have to clean one of my regulars and it’s a Mexican restaurant with tons of oil build up every time. I usually use Flex w/Citrus solve and my rotary 360, but the rotovac 360 is down so my question is…1- can I use my slow speed buffer on it? 2-if so what pad color do I use?…thanks for the feed back!

Green if you break it in on concrete first.
Here’s how:
Spray the concrete liberally with prespray
Run the green pad under your rotary on it for a minute

Now your green pad will work
If you didn’t break it in first, the pad would grip the carpet so hard your buffer would spin you through a wall

Awesome! Thank you hogiowl!….that would be a sight to see huh, if I (250lb man) got tossed by a floor buffer

I’m 255’ and it once yanked me in a semicircle.
Once it’s broken in thought it’s awesome.

The 175 works fantastic on greasy commercial glue down, HOWEVER, get rid of the Flex. It’s crap!
Use Prochem Ultra PAC Extreme. Mix on the heavier side, let dwell for 10 minutes, hit with the 175, extract HOT.

Or Saiger’s Code Red with a splash of Harvard’s Grease whatever … can’t remember.

I've tested a lot of different presprays side by side on greasy carpet and nothing out performes Ultra Pac Extreme.

I’ve found that soy solvents work well with it.
D-limonine is hard o rinse in higher concentrations. That’s why after trial and error, I much prefer soy based solvent boosters.

I’ll try the ultra PAC, thank you!

I'm VLM now but for the first 25 years I was HWE. I cleaned a lot of Diners and Chinese Restaurants. I used a 175 with a stiff brush every time. I had a Rotovac and T rex Jr but preferred the 175 and brush on Diners and Restaurants. The weight of a 175 on top of a stiff brush did a better job losing grease for wand extraction than just a rotary extractor.

Now that I'm VLM I don't do Restaurants or Diners

Saiger red and the G Force Booster with a grey pad from Excellent supply under a 175.

That would be a good combo. There’s lots of ways to skin a cat.
