I LIKE ASTRO TURF !!!

One of the motels that I clean every month has Astro turf on most of the long walk ways. I've had the Cimex for about four months now, and I decided to try it on the ''turf''. WOW! I was really suprised how well it did. I did about a three foot strip, and got rid of this big, huge stain. When I looked at it later when I was farther down the walk way, the difference was amazing! The owner really liked it, and wants me to maintain it on a regular basis. I don't think I would have tried it, but I saw the stain, and thought I'd give it a try. I wish everyone had that stuff now! Maybe it will make a huge come back. The Brady Bunch is cool.

I'm sorry, I used the fiber plus pads. I did have to go slower than carpet for a good result, but this stuff is really dirty.

Hi!
The Cimex is O.K. for Astro turf,but You will use up more pads and Releasit per sq ft like on regular carpet.

The Cimex worked WAY better than OK on Astro turf. Infact, it's hard to imagine anything working better. I agree that the pads probably won't last as long as they do on carpet, and more product will be used...I think the profit margin is still great though. I guess I'll just have to accept $60-70 per hour when I'm cleaning Astro turf. It almost doesn't seem fair that the majority of carpet cleaners make more per hour than many doctors. I can certainly think of more fun things to do than clean carpet, but I consider this business an absolute gift from God.
