So, I installed a simple router speed control box to the Powerwand up by the handle and can now slow the speed down and it works very well now CGD. I like that it also has the on/off switch up at the handle now so I don't have to use the foot switch.
Rick is right. Extraction first followed by encap/action works very well.
Just did our hall with it followed by the Orbot with encap cleaner. Looked like new carpet and it's 15 years old. Color went from drab brownish green to a bright olive color.
FloorCareMD how did you install that on your Powerwand. I have two powerwands and would love to be able to use it in CDG before or instead of Cimex when needed.
Rick, sorry I missed your calls and couldn't find you when I called you back. So far, I will keep testing before contacting you.
I haven't tried more CDGs but the machine paid by itself as one of my main clients changed managers and new manager had a janitorial company, asked me what machines I used....I said I have a ninja, a michaels, 2 rotovacs and a Cimex...his comments was "CIMEX... fantastic machine" and he got me to do all the hallways for next month.
Besides that..I did one residential that was extremely black trashed..did HWE with the rotovac (prespray before), and the results were amazing as usual for how it was...but still grey spots everywhere that people would not move in cuz of that....tried Cimex when dried and was mindblown...almost new, perhaps if I do it one more time it will look perfect but it was good enough that I would probably not complained if I were moving in there. The manager was just like "wow" and saved $2000 to tenant.
Question...I'm looking to buy more Releaseit 2 and I thought about what chemicals to get additional to that (I have to pay for shipping as they don't sell them locally so I want to do them all at once).
Since I do mostly residential units (when HWE doesn't work) and hallways...should I get Hydrox for either using with the cimex or prespray/spotter, encap spotter or encap punch? What are your thoughts on these 3? Also, I bought one aquagreen encap by mistake lol, I'm not sure if it is from Releaseit company or if it is any good, if anybody has tried let me know.
Thanks.
