rougher pad/less foam

April 5 2005 at 11:24 AM		 Brian Vanous  
seems the rougher pad I use, the less foam I get. Works just fine, but hard to tell how much your putting on.
any ideas?

thanks

Brian,

Yes, different pads may likely produce varying levels of foam. You're using a standard rotary scrubber, so it's hard to tell for sure what to expect with the pads you may be referring to. With the Cimex, both versions of our FiberPlus pads (Regular and Max) will produce a fairly consistent light foam using Releasit. But with your set up you may see some variables.

Hey Brian maybe it's time to step up to the Big Boy.

I have a secret Ebay supplier. Get a little more mileage out of these pads compared with other. Lets me walk faster.

Residential job today. Used Cimex to apply solution, followed up with extraction. Used only 12 gallons of water to extract because dirt released so easy. Small house upstairs hall, stairs, 1 room, great room, and small walk-in area.

Hey George

We use our cylindrical brush machines or or a rotary
to scrub all our jobs before we extract them. It makes life much easier

I get a lot of great comments because no one has done this for them before.
I prefrer the cylindrical brushes in residential setting. Really lifts the pile up and gets the crud up before extracting.

In reguards to the foaming I have noticed that also brian. I use a red or a white pad
on my dule speed
