Mr. Steamer:  I didn't miss the point at all.  Exhaust the machine outside..  I think you been inhaling the exhaust form yout tm to long.  I guess in the GTA everyone exhausts thier portables to the outdoors.  Give me a god damm break.  If you have to clean on Sunday night thats your problem.  Maybe you nedd a little R & R.Guitar

I must admit leaving a house smelling like a urinal, that has got to spell repeat and referral there is just no other way to describe it.  Guitar

I love the feeling of being in a room all by myself and laughing at what I just read in this forum.

Guys I've heard it all now, Thanks for the chuckle

Hmmm...a "para urinal puck"...good idea!...now I can use my portables recovery tank to pee in...

in a "pinch" of course.

I'm positive about the negative...and negative about the positive.

I had a situation last week where I needed some. Of course I did not have any of my ESTEAM DEFOMER on board as I do more duct cleaning then carpet cleaning. Anyways I just went over the spot a few times and it did the job. I have a kickass truck mount though with LOTS of Suction. Cleanco 47. I use Performace CBS and Suspend through my hydroforce. Works awsome. Looking at getting shelves for my truck so that I can carry all my cleaning agents at all times.

 

Take Care

Surrounding I think you read it wrong.  In a pinch means example: if you were at a job and ran out of defoamer what would be an alternative, but hey I could of read your message wrong too.

Forgive me for missing something here, but if you wanted a defoamer, why wouldn't you buy one? Is this product only avaliable in Australia?  I think not.

& if you wanted to get out gum, buy  either a solvent or that instant freeze stuff that I love and sell so well?  Surely you know when you're running low?

I would generally prespray the spot and then extract it. If that doesn't work I'll put a table leg directly on the spot....lol.  Do a little furniture re-arranging.

I would also like to hear some alternatives to defoamer. I've had a couple jobs where somebody spilled a whole bottle of liquid soap on the carpeting and what a nightmare it was extracting with no defoamer. Of course I ended up charging more...but if I had defoamer or some kind of quick "alternative" I would have been finished the job alot sooner.

Live and learn I always say.

If you run out of gum remover try WD-40. It works like a charm.

I've been told that a bar of Ivory Soap will work for a while.  I'm struggling with that one, personally, but I've had it explained.  It made sense at the time.

How about some defoamer instead?  It's fairly cheap in comparison to other products....
