100% VLM ???

[SteamwayPro]

When I started experimenting with VLM I cleaned my own carpet many times with crystallizers and film formers before using them on a customers carpet

After many times 7-8-9 I don't even how many times I used VLM on my carpet, I decided I better rinse that crap out of my carpet using my TM

I had my defoamer ready for all the foam but I never needed the defoamer

You couldn't even tell it just rinsed out NO PROBLEM

Just hwe a restaurant that juses vlm clogged the shit outa my filer box with this sawdust looking shit 3 times!

That's a Bummer!

Did you pre- vacuum????

I hope the restaurant vacuumed once in a while after it was clean the last TIME????

Sometimes steam cleaning is just BETTER !!!

BIG WOOD, IN 45 years of cleaning never had the privilege of cleaning Astroturf.

What chemical do you use for that?

Did you vacuum first?

I used a cheap paint brush to apply it. Its lighter today so I will apply it again.
Yes I should have put plastic under it. The porcelain tile wasnt installed well so Im not so concerned about it. I did pull it off the wood though.

I had 2 small spots that didnt come out so retreated.
This is the paint brush I use.


Oops. I typed the vacuum comment but didnt mean to post it. It sat in the que until I posted that follow up.

In some cases Steam Cleaning is better than VLM

It still has it's place in 2025


I never cleaned Astroturf on a Farm used for Animals

WATER PRESSURE would clean it better than Agitation

Plus it's made for outside so you can't over wet it


But for Houses with People VLM is BETTER !!!

George and Matt, I have given this some thought?

I think, if i could vacuum Astroturf well enough

{get all the dry soil out ?]

And the only thing left behind is wet soil?


I'm sure if i ran a Microfiber pad through the plastic turf with -


Hydrogen Peroxide and cleaner that -


I could get it pretty clean ????!!!!!

IT WOULD BE FUN TO TRY!!!!

I’ve used every chemical combination possible in our industry on this type of soiling and I always go back to two very simple products
Treat with LaAwesome
Rinse with Harvard skunkout added

I get the best compliments. Pig soiling is worse odor than every other farm animal and this combination is the best

Process:
1.vacuum slowly. Wood chips and dry poop have to be 99% removed dry
2.treat heavy
3:agitate with Nike shuffle or crb
4: rinse thoroughly at 750psi
5: have a 2nd person coming behind you with dry passes only at the wand

It’s fun and profitable. $1k in 4hrs. If you’re ever in my area when it’s time to do it, I’ll show you the process. It’s amazing how the smell changes from pig stall to clean arena

It’s a love/hate relationship I have with this industry.

I might start a new thread about that topic

1k ain't enough! I had enough pig relationship at about 13 and they truly are stinky! That would mean I'd have to get that $hit outta my waste tank. I know you can, but no thank you I can just see me telling one of my GIRLS, they were the second person

Frank do you clean furniture ???


Did VLM on a Sectional Sofa and Area Rug today

That is a old Sofa down in the Basement

VacAway Double Trouble on Sofa and Area Rug

I used 15 Challenger 8'' Bonnets to clean that Sofa


Once you go VLM, you NEVER go back to HWE !!!
