 Topic: Chemical Mixing RatiosPosted: 16/August/2008 at 9:18pm |

Im new to the whole truckmount scene so I was wondering how do you go about mixing the chemicals. Im use to the ol' Rug Doctor from my local Wal-Mart.
If I wanted to mix my Powdered Extraction Detergent with my Odor Counteractant all into my 5 Gallon solution bottle would it be possible without screwing something up. That way I could clean and deodorize at the same time...
I bought a 50# container of Carpet Cop [Truckmounts: 1 1/2 lbs. per 5 gal. stock (Meter)]... And I have 1Gallon of Multi-Fresh Citrus Odor Counteractant [Truckmounts: 32 oz. per 5 gal. stock (Meter)]..

I would not do that with deodorizer, it prefers to stay in the bottle till ready to use.

lester everyone does it a little different..
I mix my chem after the carpet/upholstery is inspected.. That way you can adjust the dilution ratio.. Less for lightly soils.. Little more for heavy soils.. And i fill my pumpup with my hot TM water..
If a outside spigot is nearby then the TM gets hooked up to it.. If not then hook up at the nearest faucet with faucet aerator adapter (55/64" outside 3/4" inside) and hookup another garden hose Y adaptor to it.. On the Y one side to run water to the TM the other for hot prespray water.. The Y has valves to shut off/on the water you need.. Edited by John L - 17/August/2008 at 11:32am |

What good is that if you have a helper.. One can spray the other clean unless you hook up 2 psi hoses to the TM..  How do you do it doug with 2 guys..   Edited by John L - 17/August/2008 at 1:13pm |

Helper ?? I run one man shows unless there is one mother of a large job to do? You kids can't seem to be by yourself always need someone to comfort you. I guess when you come to the point where you don't need a baby sitter you will realize the true meaing of helper.

The only time a helper is real valuable is when you are doing jobs above ground level. Set up and take down is much easier with 2 people
