Dry cleaning sponges - Rob D - 02-14-2013
Rick I love your encap products just curious if you have thought about producing your own cleaning sponges similar to brush n clean or host?? If not have you considered offering the large bucket of brush n clean. I believe many cleaners with the crb would be more willing to try or buy them if you offered them..once again I can't say enough great facts about your products! I wish I would of found them earlier life would of been easier.

What are they?
Does one scatter them on a carpet to absorb dirt?
RE: Dry cleaning sponges - Rob D - 02-15-2013
Put them on the carpet agitate sponges into carpet with crb the remove dirt from fiber in a dry method. Once completed you can put renovators on crb to collect sponges....

IMO, sponges are less effective than chemicals. Seems to me Rick would have to dumb down his product a bit. He's got a gold mine with his chems already.
That process has been around since the 80s that I know of. Anyone remember the old Vortex vacuums and their orbital machine that "cleaned" carpet? Corbisan? sp? There's a reason its never gone mainstream. It can freshen carpet up for sure though.
RE: Dry cleaning sponges - Rob D - 02-15-2013
I agree with the" gold mine" part 100 %. These are by far the best cleaning agents I have used in 12 years. I was thinking about using the sponges in combination with encap on the dirtier carpet traffic areas to "extract the excess dirt" and then the encap will get the rest.. Just thinking as an additional option. Some cleaners use the bonnets for this purpose to pull some of the dirt and moisture out so thats why I am thinking along these lines more for alittle extraction on the excess dirt. Keep in mind 2 years ago you couldnt convince me of using anything but Hwe! Since I have used Ricks product with crb and cimex I have experienced carpets with no wick backs and they stay cleaner longer.. I don't think it would be dumbing down products but maybe some of the experience and chemistry could develop a superior product to what's out there. In all fairness not saying the other sponge products are bad because I haven't really tried many but if EXCELLENT SUPPLY offered one it would be the first to buy I'm sure..for anyone that cleans with sponges any input would be great or maybe it's just a terrible method that's fine too. User input helps

How exactly did you know about that product?
RE: Dry cleaning sponges - FloorCareMD - 02-15-2013
lots of crazy old relatives (aunts) I guess.
I had a high school shop teacher that would sprinkle sawdust in his hair. He was creepy too.

U fun e
Must be some what ok or Excellent Supply would not offer them to there customers..Be nice guys just fishing for some opinions on these products. Strong seems to be a strong marketing company so I'm sure we will come across competitors in our market place offering this option.
RE: Dry cleaning sponges - FloorCareMD - 02-15-2013
seriously, I do remember hearing about a product years ago, made from corn cobs that sound something like these sponges that supposedly cleaned carpets.
RE: Dry cleaning sponges - Rob D - 02-15-2013
Rick carries them under accessories called brush and clean sponges.... Yes I remember the corn cobs perhaps that's what these are. I have customers call me and inquire because the local carpet shop rents host machines they like the idea but don't want to do it themselves.

Is your compound the same exact as the brush n clean or do you have your own..? If it's different I would love a sample! I do have some of the Brush n clean on its way but I understand it may not be available anymore. I wish you much success!
RE: Dry cleaning sponges - NJP - 02-26-2013
Hey Marcus, I would like a sample of the cmpound. Would you send me some?
