Im not surprized that Orbot raised their price

The price of everything has gone up

Inflation at a 40 Year HIGH !!!


I haven't raised my prices YET but that day is coming

Very happy I made the switch to VLM

VLM cost of doing business is much lower than HWE

Been all VLM for 2 1/2 Years now


Gas prices must be killing TM users

George just ordered my 1st case of Super Cap Unchained. I too have been low moisture for all my carpet cleaning Pad capping. So far the truckmount has not had a water damage call. The commercial calls are coming. in for the years end cleaning. I do use pad capping for residential and have not had any complain that i am not using hot water extracting been out carpet cleaning since 1995 .
Low moisture cleaning ,and set up helps your bottom line. I use a promaster city van and get good miles per gallon im in a very rural state LOL

 

[george8585]

[george8585]

I never tried SuperCap on commercial

I'm too happy with DS2 to change

DS2 really cleans and brightens commercial carpet without peroxide

 

[peterbreen]

yes it does but will add peroxide to trashed lite carpets.

George, thank you for sharing your experience and success with VLM. I'm starting new in this business and have come across you and a few others on the Internet who have said they loved switching from HWE to VLM. With the low startup cost and less equipment it was too good to pass up the opportunity so I'm jumping in with VLM. I got an Orbot Vibe, very nice machine I love it.

I notice everyone using microfiber or cotton bonnets to clean but I'm going pure encap. I didn't like the idea of constantly swapping bonnets and having to wash them later. Instead of using bonnets I'm scrubbing with fiberpads.

Now I know the fiberpads do not have any extraction action like the microfiber bonnets do. They are scrubbing only. So I am doing a post vaccuming after the carpets dry to extract the filth and encap cleaner out of the carpets.

I'm using the hoover hushtone commercial vacuums and they seem really great so far. I have two vacuums one for pre-vac only and one for post-vac only. This way I do not transfer any filth or smell onto the carpets during my post vacuum, which I think would happen if I used only one vacuum.

A family member let me test out my equipment and process on their very dirty carpets. I used Releasit DS2. I know I know it's meant for commercial but I wanted to see what it can do. I'll be switching to Releasit Hydrox going forward as it is supposed to be better for residential than DS2. I might try Supercap since you have praised it so much.

I am very happy with the results, not bad at all for my first test cleaning I think. The dark stains and mattedness are gone, the carpet is so bright, fluffy, soft, and clean feeling now. My family member was SUPER HAPPY with the results.

Welcome to TMF


You can learn a lot about VLM here on TMF from me and Peter

Vibe with sprayer ???

 

[peterbreen]

Welcome to the low moisture forum..My take on pad capping is you are removing the top soil that shows. Cotton and microfiber pads work the best at extraction. Once the fiber is dry then 2 or 3 post vacuuming has removed the soil from the bottom. Once you get working you wont have the time to post vacuum every job. Peter Breen

Peter you talked about distilled water a long time ago

I'm now using distilled water with clo2

I buy it at Walmart for .76 cents for a gallon

 

[peterbreen]

Yes i started using distilled water mixing my spotters. Then using with clo2 and mix with pre-sprays you can see a difference using distilled water. Wally World is where i by my distilled water i think $00.88 cents a gallon up here in tree huggers land. George are you seeing a slow down in booking work. My commercial is doing ok thanks to low moisture and the mini van .
We survived 8 yrs. of Obama . LOL

I take all soft water to every job for my encaps.
I started that over a year ago
I definitely saw a difference


All my spotters I use straight so I don't need distilled for them

Do you use distilled water with your encaps ???


I use distilled with cl02 and upholstery presprays

I carry 5 gallons of distilled water and usually about 15 - 30 gallons of soft water on my van depending on the job or jobs


I don't have much commercial work. I never have a lot but I do have an estimate to give tomorrow. I do his house some I'm sure I will get the job


I haven't seen a slow down but it's only April. It rains too much in April. Last week it rained 4 days.
Where I'm at a lot of people don't want to spend money getting their carpet cleaned if it's raining everyday or every other day. It's like that every year.

So far this year I'm about average to a little above average for work. I'm doing good.

My busy season is May until December.
