It just depends on the carpet, the quality of the equipment used, andthe quality of the tech who performs the cleaning. I often inform mycustomers that there are many cleaning methods, and each of them hastheir place, but the most important thing is that you have a technicianwho puts in the effort to do quality work.]]> Mon, 23 Jan 2006 14:29:03 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2258&PID=61677&title=chem-dry#61677 <![CDATA[chem dry : What is the opinion in what is...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2258&PID=61669&title=chem-dry#61669 Author: duchi

I'd really like to try it, Ted. I'm in a new business, though, soadditional equipment is taking a back seat for now. For what it'sworth, I bought a Hawk dual speed buffer (175-300 rpm, 1.5 hp) inaddition to the RX-20. I just wanted a better buffer for the bonnetjobs, and I wanted one that could effectively be used with Xerion andeventually do light restorative work on hardwood (e.g., Bridgepoint'swood treatment system). So, when I finish up with buffing, it's notwith the crappy 135 rpm of the RX-20.

Oh, and an edit for my previous post: I use the Ninja 400, not the 500.

77748,

Hydrogen Peroxide is in Carpet Cleaning Crystal by Core Products.

If you are looking for fiz throw in a handfull of Cow Brand Baking Soda. It's reaction produces Carbon Dioxide.

Michael,

From what we see here at KK DFC is the closest product I have seen to the Chem-Dry formula. Changing peoples minds to use a friendlier, healthier product is a difficult task. Seems that most want to kill a mouse with an elephant and coffing and chocking while doing it.

You say you use RX-20 then bonnet. Obviously you are dedicated to the proper equipment and quality.

Suggestion:

In stead of spin-bonneting try an orbitor with a 100% Egyptian pad. That will kick it up three more notches.
