Good opinions wanted, If your complaining about something then find a better hobby. or make your own videos to help people.

So what products do you want to see tested?

I want you to test your videos with a LOT less nose sniffles and absolutely zero tongue snapping/clicking sounds.... Your previous videos are full of these "sound effects" and it gives the feeling of: you're being very uncomfortable and trying to play it cool.

If you wana grow up to be this self appointed video "guru" you will not take this as offensive but as constructive.

And no im not a big fan of being in front of the camera, but im getting more comfortable as i make more videos. This clip was shot about a month ago.

How about using the term "fellow cleaners" to replace "you guys"


What equipment do you own that you have not done a review on yet?

Scott, take it from me, if you want to be an internet guru you'll need to grow a thicker skin.

sniffles and ums and youz guys is nothing to be ashamed of.


try having your lopsided nipples, larger than normal cranium, finger warts, dirty finger nails, lazy eye, mono-toned, and moral integrity called out every week since 2006..

where are these videos at? I'm interested to see what your testing and how it is being conducted.

I would keep doing them, but if they are like what it sounded as above, there's some tweaking you need to do, or watch the video yourself before posting it. See if there is anything that would be distracting to people that you might want to re tape or edit out. If people can pay attention to a demo video fully without awkward distractions then you'll be golden. I hate being in front of a camera.

I'd also be interested in testing of different types of Red Dye Removing Chemicals, Paint Removal, Chems for removing Blue/Green/Yellow stains. I'm guessing you test a bunch of different products against each other to figure out the best or how does it work?

I've tested a lot of products. Jim Pemberton can attest to that. And some products work better for portables and some work better with high heat machines.

I haven't tested many red removers but that's a great idea.

I can test products head to head, but prefer to test if they work or not as described.

I'm not out to step on toes with manufactures but I am out to see if it works as they say it should.



Think ill be going out and finding some light colored carpet to spill some kool aid on now. :)

I've got a test for ya, Scott...

I'd like to know at what psi do avg. sized jets/wand start wetting the carpet pad or backing. Different styles of carpet, etc...

Example: what psi will get through a berber, thick plush, frieze, etc. How many wet strokes to get to backing.

I'd assume a pre sprayed carpet should take less psi, it's already damp.

Tough crowd. Don't let it bother you Scott. I've put up with a chorus of naysayers for years (especially Chavez ;)) and just kept forging ahead. Ever have the radio on really low just for background noise?That's all it becomes.

Show me real tests. Look at Saiger how he lined up 3 chemicals and you could see the difference between them. Not just a job you tossed some chemicals on and you pushing a wand.

Side by side test now that is how you show testing. I think at least.

that can be done. I have a test coming up soon with 3 spotters that claim to take out ink.

you can crank the psi up to max but you have to run super fast with the wand.

or you can clean with your tm in the range most of us use. (350-500psi)
the more jets you have the better. you shouldnt need high pressure if your using the right products and agitation before you rinse.

I do however feel that high flow is important somewhere around 6-8 flow for most machines if you want to hold a steady cleaning temp.

But the majority of the cleaners who don't frequent the boards don't run glides... Take off the glide and even the playing/test field...
