Using a rotary tool on a glued downed olefin I think is uneccessary. The weight of the olefin will play a major part in the success of the tool. The subfloor is also a major concern if it is uneven. We use agitation a high ph and maybe we a lucky we have had not problems. We believe in the KISS method for our daily cleaning chores and find it usually works. (KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID.) Somtimes because you have all those marvelous expensicve tools a simple wand will do the trick.

Acid rinse or Acid post spray it is. Actually it was with the rotovac and portable we had the problems. We will use the glide wand as instead. We have noticed a great difference with the portable wand we have versus the glide we received with the tm. Just a dumb question if we did use the tm with a glide wand with the pressure down with no acid rinse does anyone do that. |

From 77748:
Therefore my question on olefin or commercial carpet using tm what other detergent can we use to resolve this knowing that we used excessive water. The rotovac is not good for olefin carpet. Just my opinion! Well... wouldn't you turn down your pressure & use an acid post-spray? Sorry if that sounds too simplistic, but after 7 months, I've not had this issue. -Allen |

Rotovac cleans good, but uses too much water for olefin ond most commercial carpet. Get a glide wand and use an acid side rinse, and you will have no problems with them.

Ok! Using a Bonnet pad cleaning not the nice heavy bonnet but the commercial flat pad with green stripes we get results. Since we have finally got a TM we used a rotovac and got major brownout callback the next day which we used a bonnet pad as described above to resolve this embarrasment our jaws hit the ground when we seen the grey carpet turn brown all over the place. Therefore my question on olefin or commercial carpet using tm what other detergent can we use to resolve this knowing that we used excessive water. The rotovac is not good for olefin carpet. Just my opinion! I do know using hatian cotten uphostery cleaner on upholstery my understanding is you do not get brownout on white furniture. SAFE |
