does acid rinse affect alkaline pre-spray efficacy?
Does it lower the Ph of your pre-spray?

Yes, duh
But the question is by how much
And does anyone GAS
Not enough to matter. I usually use a neutral to slightly alkaline rinse anyway.does acid rinse affect alkaline pre-spray efficacy?

The late Joe Domin, famous for his chemical innovations with Prochem, tested that out extensively with his Ultrapac Pretreat in an in-line sprayer and All Fiber Rinse diluted 1 quart per 5 gallons and metered at 3 GPH. He noted a pH drop on the prespray from 10.2 down to 9.6.
That’s not insignificant when looking at the measured distance once you are that high on the pH scale from a chemist’s view, but in most cleaning situations, it would not be.
This was 30 years ago when the fears of cleaning stain resistant nylon had more control over both formulators and users than it does today anyway.
That number would be different with the higher pH presprays being used today.
Anyone can do that test themselves of course.
I remember his bald head and white lab coat in the advertising of ICS and CleanFax..
How does that change the fact you are metering the same acid rinse through through each sprayer?I use two separate hydroforces, each complete with thier own spray wands. problem solved
I haven't seen any problems from leaving the rinse on while treating the carpet.does acid rinse affect alkaline pre-spray efficacy?

Thank youHow does that change the fact you are metering the same acid rinse through through each sprayer?
Quit using the term "pre-spray". It sounds stupid
Drop the “pre”What term doesn't sound stupid, pre-conditioner?
Accepting industry term? That’s not like you to just jump on the bus with all the other idiotsIt’s an accepted industry term.
You judging what’s stupid is like Mikey calling someone a narcissist.
Ah it's the only spray. Well sort of, we are post spraying with the wand blast. However a given cleaner might spice that up. And the cleaning happens mostly in between with dwelling and agitation. Right? I suppose it's all part of it. Still sounds a bit whack. I always feel weird saying it outside of talking to cleaners.Drop the “pre”
I think you lost me. perhaps you run/meter acid rinse through your Machine?How does that change the fact you are metering the same acid rinse through through each sprayer?

I agree with you on a lot of subjects, but I have to say that I'm one to say, pre-vac, pre-treat, and post bonnet.You Treat the carpet, fabric, floor. You never “pre-treat”
You Treat the carpet, fabric, floor. You never “pre-treat”
You Treat the carpet, fabric, floor. You never “pre-treat”
Well, we’re not cleaning in the 80’s anymore, so we can update the correct language with the current correct cleaning.You do if you remember the olden days where you just dumped grease eraser and assorted chems in your fresh tank and went to town
