Keeping residential soft and fluffy

[Total_Rookie]

What have been your experiences with rinses and cleaners, leaving the carpet feeling soft and fluffy for Mrs Piff?

 

[hogjowl]

Yes!

[Steve Lawrence]

[Mike Pailliotet]

Flex ICE does that.

Any good acid rinse...

Dry slurry ftw.

Stay away from liquid delimolone boosted prespray and you'll usually be fine

Genny says my furry body is soft and fluffy.

Anyone try prochems Citrus crush yet. I picked up a jar of it yesterday. Gonna compare it to Bio break. Have a loaded carpet this afternoon. Should be fun. Hoping for soft and fluffy. Lol.

It may do so, although I just can't handle the smell.

I always get those customers that say " the last guy was nice, but the carpets felt crunchy / or got dirty quickly". My objective for residential is not to be known as the guy that can make a trashed carpet look new again, but to be known as the guy that made my house smell soooo good... and carpets feel so nice. The challenge jobs are fine, although they either move or clean only when they look nasty. Lately I've been on a procyon kick with awesome results. Although there are a lot of solid products out there as well.

Procyon is my first choice, but it has its limitations

Crunchy carpet comes down to more operator techniques than chems most times. Carpets left to wet will dry crunchy no mater what you cleaned them with. Too much Pre spray mixed too strongly or improper additives can be an issue as it becomes more difficult to rinse out completely. It's not so much about acid or alkaline rinses as it is proper flushing and extraction. IMO

Exactly. A perfect but boring world would let us all clean with just Procyon.

Pureforce acid rinse. Mixes 16oz per 5 gallon. Best bang for the buck, smells good, leaves carpet soft.

This is one major disadvantage of an apo portable; there is no easy way to inject anything into the rinse water.

I’m open to suggestions that don’t include “buy a truckmount, idiot.”

I got a jug a while back. I liked it. But maybe because it was on a markdown table at my Interlink. Should have gotten more!

I tried the “pf “ I just wasn’t convinced.
