Extractors

I know Nica was interested in extractors. Ive done a LITTLE research on them. Specifically the Mytee 8070 and Spyder. Ive also looked into chemicals for them. I didnt really realize how much is actually involved here. Ive been looking at stuff on interlinksupply.com. Basically you need a pre- conditioner, a rinse agent, and a spotting agent. Recommendations Ive seen are as follows.

Pre- Conditioners
Prochem Ultrapac Pre- Treat LVC
Biokleen Traffic Lane Cleaner

Rinse Agents
Prochem Dry Slurry
Prochem All Fiber Rinse.

Spotting Agents
Prochem Citrus Solvent- oil, grease, tar
Biokleen Paint Oil Grease
Prochem T- Rust- rust remover
Biokleen Bac- Out- food
Pro Choise Stain Magic- wood, wine, mustard, coffee, tea, urine, vomit, feces, potted plants, etc.
Pro Choice Red Relief- synthetic dyes
Pro Choice Urine Stain Remover

So you've got all these different spot agents for different kinds of stains. On top of the pre- conditioners and rinse agents. The purpose of the rinse agents is to remove any left over solvents in the carpet.

Cleaning Order
Thorough vacuum
Pre- treat stains
Spray on pre- conditioner
Put rinse agent in solution tank and extract
Then you can apply a stain blocker and let the car dry

I just use LGCM with CG Stain Extractor. There hasnt been a stain I couldnt get out yet!

 

This is good information D&D as I've been doing lots of searching for an extractor. So far I'm impressed with the Mytee HP-100, saw it in action and it works great.

Next step was solutions and what you posted hit the spot buddy, thank you for sharing.

 

One thing I need to look into more is cleaning and that anti foam stuff. Some people say you dont need the anti foam if you get good chemicals, some say you do.

 

You def need some Defoaming crystals/liquid for CG. It foams like a mutha!

 

this extractor from Cleanfreak.com for $319

 

So what are some of it's features? How much power does it have?

More info please

picked this up today:

DurrMaid carpet extractor


I plan on using just water in this machine but to prep bad carpets I will go with Adam's Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner spritz the area and then extract the dirt from the carpet.

I have 10 cars on Sunday so let's see how this baby will perform.

 

Looking forward to your results. I see Kevin likes it.

 

I dropped by to pick it up cause he's got them in stock and he's about 5 minutes from my house.

 

I wonder how it compares to the Mytee 8070. They are about the same price.

 

Price?

 

10 cars dam!!!!

Look forward to your thoughts on the machine Phil :thumb:....oh and pictures of the vehicles too

 

yes

 

I want to know that too! How much?

 

Price is $650.

 

I was just reading about DurrMaid on Autopia. Sounds like they went through some serious problems. Hopefully everything got worked out.
