Clarke has an autoscrubber called Boost and they say you can strip VCT with ONLY water. Anybody tried this machine or saw it in action? I sent them an email for more info but have yet to hear back from them. Just wondering if anybody knows if it works the way they say it does.
Thanks. -cole |

I've stripped thousands of floors in my career. I've never seen an autoscrubber that does a thorough job of stripping a floor with more than a couple of coats of finish on it. I call bullsh*t -------------

| I'm not completely sold on it either. They claim with orbital tech and high rpm it works with just water. Water stay under a rectangular pad and it reaches flush into corners. Like I said, I'm still waiting to hear from them but they have a YouTube video. Search Clarke autoscrubber. Sounds too good to be true, but here's hoping. |

I watched the video. It's all hype. You need to try it on a few floors to see if it works -------------

| Yeah. One job last year kicked my butt six ways from Sunday. I think I posted the details about here. I can't imagine that machine doing much in that place. The thought of it is nice, but then again, good thoughts won't strip a floor. ;) |
