Safe detergents

[Bobolinski]

Hi Bob ,

I am pretty sure that DS2 from Excellent Supply would be safe. I to use a Vonschrader LMX on a lot of jobs and have never had a problem with there Red or Blue label dry foam.

I did try for the first time DS2 in my LMX and it did a real good job. I am not sure that Vonschrader's detergents encapsulate as well as Excellent Supply's do.  In a lot of cases I will use a two step process.
 
First I will go over the carpet with my Vonschrader and then go back over it with a 2nd time with my duel speed 175/300 rotary buffer. Of course the 2nd time I spray an Encapsu;lation detergent over it before I use the rotary.

As a Vonschrader user , what did you use to get traffic lanes clean ?

Since my machine has never been used commercially (it wasn't planned that way) I never worried about traffic lanes and am not even sure what they are.
Here's the scoop: In 1984 my oldest son, who graduated HS that year, was not real interested in college but wanted to start his own business.  I had been reading Von Schrader ads in magazines for years and suggested he give it a try; I'd buy the machine and he would do the work.  Took him less than a month to decide that college looked pretty good after all.  Long story short, he has his own insurance agency and I have a semi-retired VS1.
I'm getting tired of retirement and hauling the old machine out and adding wheels at the back in place of the wretched roller and start work with it is beginning to look like a possibility to at least keep myself busy.
