I need to develop confidence it will work, and get faster at it. I'm in no way criticizing VLM. I have all the equipment I need to get the job done right, Orbot, Cimex, Cyclo, 13'' 175-300 Rotary, 15'' Whittaker CRB, Stepson,
Pro Team Backpack Vacuum, Pro Team 15XP Vacuum. In the last year I have spent well over $10,000.00 dollars on VLM Equipment pads/bonnets. I'm just trying to figure out the fastest way to get the job done right.
If your experience is similar to mine, you'll soon be doing near 100% vlm and wondering what took so long. I compared/contrasted HWE vs VLM with my janitorial accounts for three years. I'm stubborn like that, I just couldn't believe VLM was as good as HWE, much less SUPERIOR! I padcap, meaning, I spray, scrub, extract with bonnet on every job. My janitorial accounts have been nothing but encapped for the last 5 years and are much cleaner than they ever were when I was HWEing them. No build up of product like many TM guys claim. My home as well, only encapped, no HWE for 5 years.
I post this having just fixed a commercial HWE job by using an Orbot, DS2, and some microfiber bonnets. Browning gone.
