Spotters (how many)

[Old Coastie]

You do realize good truckmounts easily deliver water hotter than that?

Broke dick porty hacks didn't think of it. Although I know one guy who used superheated steam to take out chewing gum and turned a nice patch of carpet into an afro.

After that he used a warm iron, paper towels and then floor stripper to take out the residues.

I carry a blood and protein spotter - ammonia based, a citrus spotter, isopropyl alcohol, an acid spotter a reducer and an encap spotter and a deodouriser.

99% of all spots come out between the pre-spray, proteion or encap spotters.

Occasionally i need solvent, acid or reducer.

Do you buy Vanish? Or, do you make your own?

I buy the 2 part eliminate from Esteam. It is the same thing as Vanish. They should have at Fibreclean.

Ron, all Vanish is, 13-15% hydrogen peroxide, mixed with ammonia.... And a splash of rubbing alcohol. Check the MSDS sheets...... I make my own, and save 90% on cost!!!!!!!!!

Goo gone is my first step for most things prespray doesn't remove. It gets out some color too. Small bottle fits in my pocket.

Banes gel solve and non volotile solvent. I think that's all I use of theirs anymore.

Acetone RedOne stain magic volume 40.

Can't remember what else without looking and I'm not getting off the couch yet.

I like to stick with a proper solution. If something goes wrong, I can blame them. I used to make my own rust remover, until I burned 3 holes in a carpet when I was to lazy to dilute properly. I usually buy the Eliminate by the gallon and refill the smaller bottles. It goes a long way.

I had a chemical engineer reverse engineer it...... It's very easy to do..... I've got the 'recipe'......

[Mikey P]

What kind of apotting task would you use that on @Mikey P ?

Anything you want to hide or that might come back(wick).
Like a 2 liter of pop/soda.

Someone recommended encap products for filtration soiling(along walls), It does help, sometimes...

 

[Mikey P]

Some times certain spots just need a second going over, beats setting up the HydroForce again

Some Upholstery just needs a light treatment all over but strong on the arms..

To lube the fibers for a Fels application

To hit a spot in a bed room your not cleaning or under Upholstery you didn't pre spray under


And so on...

Thanks. I carry an encap spotter too. But use it differently.

You do realize that not everyone uses nuclear heated water - like porty guys and the old school pto's that run at 180 from the machine before 100 foot run?

WE try not to think of you either, but like a boil on the arse or a bad case of athletes foot, you're still there.

I prefer to think of myself as an inflamed hemorrhoid.

Encap has removed ink on sofa for me more than ounce.

Everyday in my cargo pants pocket is super strong TLC mixed in trigger sprayer. I use old alcohol bottle cause it's small and thin.

WD-40, Solvent, Stain Zone and Red Zone Ready. Scissors Encap

What do you use it for Grant?

Filtration soiling
Pen removal
Hairspray marks
Dog poop
Shoe polish
Soot

Spray at full strength, agitate well, extract.

You can leave it behind. But I'm selling steam cleans so I always rinse.

It's called Sonitron Zenith Encap Spot and Stain.
