9. CET-Cordless Extraction Tool
Battle
By Rob Allen
Battle of the cordless extraction tools today.
CX 15, Zipper and Bonzer. 30k sq ft CGD.
No prespray will be harmed in this test. Only Pro
Power Extraction detergent @ 32oz per 5 gallon
metered at 2-3GPH.
PS:By the way there is no name for these types
of tools. Let it be known that Rob Allen on this
date named then the “Cordless Extraction Tool”.
Or CET. Haha unless someone has a better name
for them. Maybe Mytee will come out with a
name when they make their Zipper copy. Till
then it’s Cordless Extraction Tool.
Comments:
1st Choice Cleaning - Sounds like you are busy
Rob, a huge commercial job right after all the
floods
Rob Allen - Half the building was flooded and I
told them they should roll the whole building
cleaning into the final stage. They agreed. Don’t
ask, don’t receive.
Restaurant Clean - Can’t wait to hear the results!

8. Spiking encap juice with grout
master
By Jtsunbrite
I have a building with a porch 10 floors up,, its
more of a patio, they repaired the area with tar,,
so after a long Texas summer with our heat, it
has been tracked down the long hallway, into
every condo on said floor, even into the elevator
and out the other entrances on other floors,, down
6 flights of stairs...
I believe it will be faster to encap then hwe and
post bonnet, it has to be perfect when im done.
Im charging a small fortune plus it gets me in the
door with all the other 300 homeowners in the
building.
Have yall spiked encap juice with groutmaster,,,
when I was talking, walking, selling the job, I
had a squirt bottle with encap straight/ restoration
degreaser/ d’limolene mixed and a towel and I
was squirting and scrubbing a few bad areas and
it took it off...
So have you mixed it because I think im gonna
need something strong to get this tar off ?
Any thoughts?
Comments
Billy Schoch - Im going to guess there would be a
residue issue eventually. Hard to say whether it
would come back to haunt you.
Maybe a good alternative would be to use the
mixture you described, pad as much out as you
can, then use straight encap chems for another
round of bonnet cleaning. Alternatively, you
could spray everything with a spot preventative
at the end. Not sure how practical that would be
though.
Jtsunbrite - im going to bring the nautilus extreme
to extract it after I scrub it with encap
Scott W - Look at the pH of your encap product.
Groutmaster is rather high pH. Changing the pH
level of an encap product can affecte the way the
polymers cure. If the change in pH is a big one, it
may leave the floor tacky instead of a non-sticky
residue.
