How many of you use rinse agents?

This question sparked my interest after looking at the CFX that rotovac came out with.. it doesnt have a way to use a rinse agent. and uses the water pressure of the house to clean.

 

[Bob Foster]

Only on wool, upholstery and Gucci jobs.

 

[Able 1]

Same as bob.

Just so everyone knows I'm not looking to buy. i was just curious as to how many guys use a rinse.


i have an excellent setup from masterblend Threw "Pembertons". and Jim Pemberton helped set me up with my accessories. hell he even made the delivery to my house himself. It was impressive for me to see Jim Bring me my new machine in person. and im 2 hr drive from him.. Thanks again Jim.

I think plain water could be considered a rinse agent,
we use CTI baby safe on everything. They changed the name
of it twice from baby safe, to element 8, and now its EnvireX oxygen
release emulsifier. Not too weak not too strong, leaves stuff bright+soft
and wont prematurely re soil. I even use it on most furniture.

i have been using power point on the tuff stuff, and fab set on the residential or lightly soiled stuff. i most always use a rinse.

If you use a spotter or prespray with d'lim or some other solvent, you must use an emulsifying rinse to get it out.

thanks for the advice

Rinse agent yes.


I use an emulsifier. The way I see it, if it don't cause resoil and it makes your job easier as far as cleaning. Why not use it. PH isn't a problem as far as I'm concerned. It dries to pixie dust anyway, which will vacuum away anyhow???


I try to live by the motto, work smarter and not harder.

VacAway has a new rinse, it came out today... http://vacaway.com/vaRinse-N-Stop/index.htm

Twice the strength of other Acid Rinses (16oz per 5 gallon of stock solution)!

Eliminates most reappearing stains and rapid resoiling.

Neutralizes alkaline residues.

Stabilizes dyes.

Decreases drying time.

Crystallizes upon drying and is easily vacuumed away during routine vacuuming.

Pleasant Strawberry fragrance.

This is the one that does the best job of removing residue:

RO water with nothing else.

Ask Dave G.

[Ron Werner]

what's the flow rate on that machine?
ie how long to fill 120gal?

Does RO water have the same challenges as DeIonized where it eats the metal?

 

[Bob Foster]

Ron our water is so soft we don't need that stuff.
