Why 2" hose? I have 1 1/2" wand end and 1 1/2" extractor port. Does it create more suction just with a bigger hose?
Don't know that I need the glide. I do need agitation more. any good methods other than simple carpet rake? Doesn't the heater create more agitation as the molecules of water are moving quicker and lift more dirt on the microscopic level? I do appreciate the advice! |

You could try running 2" vac hose on your porty. Try a Greenglide on your wand. Skip the heater and use some agitation

I'm just looking for prespray advice, agitation techniques, or tricks like notching wand for better cfms to get my porty to work more and my back less. I read your posts and I do agree with TM if I had money, maybe next year....but I have no garage anyway in winter.

That's what my wife thinks.
I just said that cause I worked my ass off running other people's companies for years watching them get fat off the profits and giving me the crumbs. So, it is hard work, but working for yourself is not as bad as a "real job", the one you hate to go to and you always get the same pay no matter how hard you work and you have no flexibility in a schedule. |

Too broke. I want to, but I am stuck with porty for now. I even have to get a real job, at least part time for a while cause I moved from my customer base and have to start over again. At least my back will get a break and I can stop sweating a gallon a day.
Want fries with that? |

Hi there, I am new to the forum and have been cleaning carpets for about a year now. There are a few frustrating issues that seem to plague me. I would appreciate any advice.
1. Not enough dirty water coming back out of the carpets. I use a Ninja 500, 11/2" hose, 25 ft, run around 300-350psi. It just seems that 10 gallons of water and plus the prespray, and only 5 gallons or less come out.....even with multiple dry passes. 2. which chemicals to use? there are so many and none seem to do that well. I find myself using the harshest out there and having to combine them also to get any real noticeable difference in the look of the carpet. I also run the 210 degree heater....pop there goes another fuse, but the carpets still dirty. I find I can get carpets generally clean, but I am using too much water and too much physical labor. I am a big guy and this is kicking my a**. any advice anyone? |
