Derek We have 3 Cimex machines 3 OP Machines
Several Portable HWE, 3 Truckmounts plus 6 Pilelifters

Yes we have tried low moisture systems on residential, however, we keep preferring TM cleaning as do our clients, and not to get into what the mills prefer.

Hot water extraction Dry system 100% encap Vlm Pad capping. They all work very well alot to do with the tech. Today with the rising costs of doing business i am finding pad capping is pleasing my clients and leaning more in the green arena. Pete B.

Very cool.

I guess what I meant was how are you satisfied with the cleaning results as compared to your TM?

OP is drier- went over whole job with a cotton bonnet, 1 hr dry.

I am still better at HWE but I am getting more skill and confidence with every OP job. I have been HWE for 30 years, wont completely give it up, but will employ OP more and more.

Get yourself an orbot. I have been doing residential with mine for 5 yrs now. I have had to fix many truck mount jobs. With Ricks products you can clean even the nastiest jobs. Not to mention fast dry times and the carpets stay cleaner longer.

My first job today was 3800 sq ft home, OP encapped upstairs, the living room which was soiled was HWE and also stairs- I prescrubbed with Hydrox and OP.
I took pics and can post later.

I love that Hydrox takes care of many little stains that can be a problem. And it makes colored carpet pop.

This business is not about us and our fancy toys, it is about what the customer wants.
We seldom get calls about fast drying systems and 99% ask if we are the company with the truck with the hoses only that enter the home.

I can honestly say that in 12 years or so (part time for 11) I've had very few people mention dry times when they call, but once I get there and start working, that's when they start asking more questions and they are usually impressed with the quick dry time.
The main thing is to give them what they called for. They really don't care how it's done...It's us that get caught up in methods because, at least for me, it's something we are passionate about. And we love cool tools! And I get a huge kick out of seeing that nasty carpet come back to life and putting a smile on someone's face.
