Nasty office with heavy traffic

January 2 2005 at 11:10 AM		 Thomas Smith  
I've cleaned this office before with Releasit using a rotary and FP pads. Looked good (better then HWE alone) except for some of the traffic lanes. This time it is really trashed (some grease and ink stains). Would adding HWE to encaping help? Would you do it before or after encaping? Or.....would using a Cimex instead of a rotary be the solution?

Another great use for a Cimex is to pre-scrub prior to HWE in those real nasty jobs, makes a world of difference.

i would just Encap it, same as always....but maybe try some Encap protectant like Soileze. when i used to HWE i used to always apply scotchguard / teflon.....now that i Encap i havent been doing it as much and i've noticed some traffic lane problems. the obvious answer to me is i need to apply a protectant like i used to.

just an idea --- Derek.

I'm with Derek that you need to apply a protectant. But also try to agitate with the Cimex then HWE, then bonnett with the Cimex, the protector. I think you will be surprised at the results. Then in subsequent cleanings you will be able to just Cimex with Releasit and apply Soileze and have no problems.

Thanks everyone. Some good advice. Sounds like I should spend the $$ for a Cimex. Like you Derek, this is part-time for me and I'm trying to score commercial accounts only (for now).
