First day using the cimex

Today I cleaned 7600 sq feet with the cimex and it came out amazing. It took me three hrs, it wasn't very dirty so I just went one pass for the most part. The thing I don't understand is it should have taken 25 gal of water (300 sq per gal) but I only used 9. It looked great and was dry in one hr, should I use more or not? I can see if the carpet was trashed I would have to use more. And I have about one gal left in the cimex, is it ok to leave it in there? I also mixed a spray bottle for spots 50/50 how long is that good for before I should throw it away? Thanks.

The 50/50 in the spray bottle will stay active for several months. I don't thin you will see a problem saving it. We keep spray bottles mixed with the 50/50 for months. In this strong of a dilution in a sealed bottle it should not lose its punch.

Don't fret over using less detergent. It sounds like you got good results - that's the key. 300 sq ft per gal is simply an average.

It sounds like you did very well for a first timer. And as you gain experience it will just keep getting easier. I'm glad to hear that you liked it so well. Keep up the good work
