Morning all.

I have to clean some pub carpets very early Monday morning. Last time I used power burst and an acid rinse.

This last week I've had the virus and forgot to check stock and I'm fresh out of rinsing chemicals. All stockists near me are now closed

Can I just use clean hot water through my inline heater?

Thanks in advance

Yes you can.
You must be friendly with at least one local cc who can lend you something.

Yes, and I would suggest to save money in the future to stick with just doing that!  :)

Acid rince is usually just diluted  citric  acid  , you could get that at a chemist in powder form .
Dont think it will matter a whole lot if you plain water rince though .

You can get away with it in a pub, but whenever you use a strong alkaline solution you should always an acid rinse.
