Title: Still using pre spray with ROTOVAC
Post by: Ferdi on July 12, 2011, 05:18:43 pm

Hi guys

I would like to ask you that

Do you still need to use pre spray if you are cleaning carpets with Rotovac?

What is your way to do it?

Regards

Not that I use a rotovac - but yes I would still prespray, you are only replacing the tool for rinsing: a wand for a rotovac.

I'm quite sure that you could clean carpets very well just with intank detergent and a rotovac as they are very thorough cleaners but a prespray will make greasy spots easier to remove with less passes.

I had a one of the original RV's and it was fantastic but a bit slow and since I went petrol TM I didn't feel the need for it.

Always prespray, It's good practice.

whats a petrol TM Shaun? Is that The Prowler. I use the Alltec advance. I bought a Rotovac with it in '08 but only used it a few times as wood floors became the fashion downstairs. Its awkward enough (the Rotovac) when trying to use it in pokey bed rooms. I got one of those counter rotating enviro dry agitators second hand at the time and that is all I use now. Would you suggest selling off the Advance with the Rotovac and trading up to The Prowler. I'm WFP too for the windows so i'd have the tank in the van to run pure water through it. Now that could be a match made in heaven.
