I hate f*#!%#g with portables.

[SRD]

A complete carpet cleaner should have both, truck mount and a portable just in case those high rise jobs or far away jobs that are not reachable with the truck mount can also be clean and charge well and don’t leave money on the table.

This "complete carpet cleaner" doesnt have the time or the want to to mess with a portable anymore. With that particular job this "complete carpet cleaner" would have put 6 trucks on that mother fuc ker two on each end and two up the middle and been done with it in 4 or 5 hours....true story been there done that.

Well it depends if you are an owner operator or you have employees, in my case I send my employees to do it for me.

The 6 truck part means im not an owner operator

What's your portable of choice?

Sniper 3500-Heated with 7303LX booster. Combo can be used as a truck mount or a portable.

I offer a 10% discount for "cheap" clients on "dry cleaning". Easier for me and they love the discount.

I use Release-it spiked with an oxidizer. Rub it in with a CRB. Seems to leave the carpet a little sticky but cheap renters don't really care.

Any recommendations on a better encapsulant? I have tried Procyon Extreme. It's not as effective even with the oxidizer, but it leaves no sticky feeling.

Any suggestions?

Careful adding stuff to encaps. They can mess with the polymer and cause it to goo. Better off buying encap based with hydrogen peroxide. Shelf life is not so great but it works a lot better.

Your causing the sticking problem by adding oxidizer to Releasit !!!

If you buy Releasit and want a oxidizer buy Hydrox.

Do not add oxidizer to any Releasit Products !!!

 

[george8585]

Here is a good encap with peroxide. Go to TMF Store

Thanks for the help! Why does adding the oxidizer do this?

Something with the polymers is all i know. I dont think you have to worry about procyon. Ive heard others using matrix miracle with it.
but definitely if you want encap with oxidizer go with ones that have hydrogen peroxide in them already. They can be mixed heavy and used as spotters. So you can carry less spotters. Just have to keep main jug cool.

I have been meaning to try the Dynamite+Detonator combo from Vacaway. Detonator is the oxidizer part of the equation. Dynamite is the encapsulating part.

Their whole line of products is encap based. I love their Hell Gel and Detonator.

I am also curious about their Spot N Boost and Safe N Soft.

Anyone tried their products?

Yep they make good stuff. I liked hot knife extreme for most dirt. And peroxcellent for places with lots of food/drink messes. I liked all their spotters. They’ll send you a pretty large sample pack.

Nice. An independent distributor by me caries their whole line! He still cleans occasionally and that's most of what he uses now.

So I have been using the dynamite detonator combo blast from vac away for about a month now. I use a pump up sprayer, but I want to start using the blast combo in an inline sprayer. Has anyone tried to use the vacuum away blast combo with an inline sprayer?

Yep me to still like the truckmount but learning to use my orbot hard to learn new things at 79 yrs but still trying.jz

I started with Oxi Fresh CRB machines...still built into a million dollar company. Shows you something lol. I feel bad about it still to this day.

99% of my work is off the truck mount now. I rarely do encap cleans even though I know the profit would be better.

It's all about what your market wants I guess. If I lived in a lower priced area, and I couldn't charge enough $$ for HWE, I would just do CRB cleans fast and cheap, lol. Help out the low ball customers. I know what you mean about feeling guilty though, lol.

What was the oxy-fresh protocol for cleans where a CRB just won't cut it? Just do it anyway, and hope they don't get a bad review? I am genuinely curious. It's pretty incredible that they built a national franchise of a CRB and hydrogen peroxide, when you think about it.

The more times I get burnt driving around downtown and waking in to find a completely trashed polyester couch or busted carpet, the more I want to just say no thanks to anything the TM can't do. It's like their problem becomes my problem every time I try.
