VFW real world HWE vs VLM clean off challenge

[Goomer]

This should be an adventure.

How is it going to be set up and "judged"??

Who?......with what?.....how?

 

[Mikey P]

Vim experts Ricky G and the Brush Pro crew will do their best.

Aerotech/ Zipper will do theirs. .

The crowd judges the next day.

Simple

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Will the vlm side be dry the next day?

 

[Mikey P]

I'm betting it is and looks better.

 

[Ray Burnfield]

Normal or trashed carpets?

Trashed. By the time all these nobs get done playing best rug sucker/beater in the world

 

[Mikey P]

Bar carpet. Olefin glue down. Gum. 3.5 out of a possible 10

Are you hiring extra security?

Use an encap rinse and im betting it wont

 

[Ron Werner]

are you throwing in any soil that might wick, or just sfc soil?
Just don't try to match the VLM in speed.
Won't make it this year. Pictures probably won't show any difference.

 

[Mikey P]

I checked it out again yesterday.


It's filthy and really ground in.

The manager says he ran a rug doctor over it last year and gave up after six tanks of black water.

 

[GCCLee]

I gotta dumb question, but wont urine rot a SS waste tank?

Probably would at full strength and with enough time.

If you did two tests, one a timed test where both sides had equal but limited time, and a second, where both sides could have as much time as they wished within reason, would the outcome be any different?

Can the HWE team post-pad? :-)

Exactly what I was going to ask. Or suggest. Have equal allowed time for each method and have a chance to take as much time as you want to do the best possible work.

 

[Desk Jockey]

If you had the time I would think the pad would win on appearance. Actual soil removal.....the vacuum hands down will beat all systems. Speed in cleaning TM with a Zipper.

 

[Cleantechsk]

hello, is this thing on? lol

forget needing to post bonnet Hwe lol. Are we using an electro weenie tm for this test? No....

rinse with an encap rinse and VLM has zero edge on cleaning appearance/staying cleaner longer afterwards

am I the only guy that uses that here.......?

 

[Ron Werner]

if its an olefin with that much soil in it, better to use a rotary, but it's going to wick. You won't be able to flush that amount of soil. The other methods won't disturb the deeper soil, so it won't be a factor. One of the reasons we say VLM doesn't clean as well, it doesn't affect the deeper soil which is what causes the after-issues.
If it can be vacuumed, with that kind of soil load I don't think you'll have enough time in the day to do it sufficiently
HWE is the most unforgiving; it won't win in a race. This will be as much a test of the technician in the contest, in the solution he chooses as well as his technique and settings, as it will be between the machines

 

[GCCLee]

Is this gonna cause a fight in the VFW?

Them Vets could have flashbacks a know : )
