i use my DC07 Dyson (yellow) to post-vac resi after OP'ing with my Challenger and it works swell.

i have also used my Bissel ClearView...and i clogged all the "plumbing" up

the reason?

the Dyson has an AUTOMATIC height adjustment. the Bissel, a MANUAL height adjustment.

i left the Bissel's manual height adjustment too low and it REALLY dug into the damp fibers (and damp dog hair in this particular house) and it wreaked havoc on the plumbing.

i feel that if your vac motor burns out it is MOST likely, you left the height adjustment too low. raise it up enough to let the suction pluck those staple fibers and pills from the surface.

just my opinion and experiences...hope this helps someone --- Derek.

It may sound like common sense, but I didnt even think about it, and my vac is always gettin clogged up. Thanx for the tip!

is it aint to common...least not for me.

thanx --- Derek.

Hi guys

I am about to introduce encap in my carpet cleaning business but not quite sure how long before you vacuum after the encap.
Some told me the customer himself will do that, another one no prob , you can avcuum after only one hour after the encap.

Can you please tell me your vacuuming procedures ?

Thank you

George

Hi guys

I am about to introduce encap in my carpet cleaning business but not quite sure how long you wait to vacuum the carpet once you finished with the encap .
Some told me the customer himself will do that, another one no prob , you wait one hour after the encap and then you start vacuuming.

Can you please tell me your post encap vacuuming procedures ?

Thank you
