Steamin Demon Foam Issues

March 28 2010 at 7:53 PM		Thomas Owens 
What do you Steamin Demon users do to deal with foam in the little recovery tank? The automatic float switch doesn't seem to float on foam, so it always gets into the vac motor.

Thanks!

use defoamer.

spray the carpet with plain hot water if you get lots of foaming use the residue to clean with rather then adding to the problem.

Spray down the carpet agitate then rinse out, ou can also toss defoamer crystals in the tank

Don't you have a dispenser with a push button release for defoamer on your Demon? I mix my defoamer 50/50 with water and put it in the dispenser.

I use rinse master from chemeisters as a rinse in my rinse water. it completely disolves the soap as it comes in the waste tank. and supposedly the carpets aswell

Thanks for that reassurance. happy.gif

Shows how much I haven't used the Steamin Demon!

Anthony, that's a good thought. Will that work with the Steamin Demon though?
