So I’m having issues with browning in the traffic areas of a couple of my commercial accounts with glue down tiles. They are brown before I clean, and they still look like this in the picture shown even AFTER encapsulating! I’m using a Cimex with the black pads, and I’ve tried both Grease Hawg and Releasit DS2. In the past I used to have issues with overwetting the carpet but I’ve learned to cut back, that may or may not be part of the issue I don’t know. I don’t extract typically and only encapsulate. I always prevac before I clean. Any suggestions or ideally some personal experience with this and how to correct? I’ve tried to add white distilled vinegar to my solution to try an “acid wash” in hopes of neutralizing the ph but it created these little white mushy balls that clogged up my filter in the water tank....don’t try that it’s a bad idea I realized.
Also, I’m not sure why it’s only in the traffic areas?? I used to prespray the Releaseit Punch in the traffic areas to try and get the traffic areas extra clean and would clean with DS2...I wonder if that’s why the browning is only in the traffic areas of if it’s from an entirely other issue. Ideas??
