Title: rincing
Post by: BEN DAVISON CLEANING on May 20, 2011, 09:03:23 pm

Just been and got some powerburst today ready for a doctors sergery i will be cleaning tomorow but have just realised i only have a small amount of rince for extraction.Is rincing vital everytime when using powerburst?The carpets are just your basic hardwearing carpet tiles so will  i be able to just use my extraction plus or will i need to rince.Cheers Ben  ::)

Presumably you mean "acidic rinsing"
Personally I wouldn't risk using powerburst without an acidic rinse. If you've got none and determined to use the powerburst then I did hear of someone using white vinegar (any supermarket) in their tank. They claimed it doesn't leave a smell  ;D, haven't tried it myself so not sure of quantities.

If tiles you will be better off bonneting them, some say hwe or hwe followed by a bonnet.

If theyare polyprop or nylon you dont need to acid rinse, hot plain water rinse will be fine

I would pad it with a microsplitter if you can + a germicide.

Acid rinse use is more than just neutralisation. The main one is healthier profits for suppliers, but I still use an acid on occasion.
