....."rinses with cold water"..........after a hot wash though

Quite right... but Neil was not talking about the wash.... he was talking about rinsing.....

Unless you've been seduced by the fictitious rag cleaning with a rotary

Cheap insult at a verified cleaning method.. Just ask your Lord and master on the other forum..

Wasn't intend as an insult Hector, cheap or otherwise. I too use LM when and where appropriate. We make our own decisions for our own business. And the only lord and master I have is the other half, at least when she tells me that is

Sorry Aidy... I sometimes get a bit touchy on a sunday morning...

The washing machine debate is a non starter as most washing powders need heat to make them effective the cleaning cycle offers far more agitation and also a bigger washing machine will agitate and rinse far better the amount if people that come into our shop and will wait until the larger more expensive machine becomes available even joe public can see the difference.

I agree Shaun.... It does however hold more relevance than the dinner plate or frying pan comparison..

What ever way you spin it (pun not intended) the anology of each is incorrect, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and as cleaning carpets is mostly visual it depends on how you perceive what clean is.

very true Shaun.... which is why my method has been successful for the last 4 years,(the time that I converted to LM only). And obviously for the 21 years before that too...

No problem Hector, just a misunderstanding. Truth be told, I'm not really bothered what anyone else does or doesn't do. Been doing this job long enough now to have seen many come and go. The decent ones tend to stick around.

I personally think flushing is more important than heat, and truckmounts excel at flushing and recovery. If you look at rug cleaning the best results are achieved using a cold shampoo solution, agitation, followed by pressure flushing to remove soiling. Unfortunately this method isn't possible on wall to wall carpeting.
Right, now I'm off to do the dishes, with hot water of course.

Totally agree with you Derek.  Not only do t/ms' excel at flushing but they also give you the added benefit of heat.

Using the correct pre-spray as well as the right agitation, we can all loosen the crap in carpets.  The secret is extracting it - (and then right to the base of the fibres). On a pretty standard carpet, I flush at 450psi using a total of 08 flow and only a t/m is adequate to extract appropriately.

As Shaun mentions - ' beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. - and yes, I can make a carpet look spotless using l/m, rag spinning, encap (or whatever you want to call it). The clients are content - but you and I, as professional cleaners, know that there is really a world of difference as to how clean the carpets actually are.
