Hi Guys,

I have just become a Textherm owner and I wondered if any of you experienced users had any tips.

Cheers

Doug

Great decision Doug.

Yes training is a must.

When you put the pad on the floor get it moving asap or it will leave a wet ring which takes a lot longer to dry that the other areas.

If the area your cleaning is really dirty then leave the pad a bit wetter.

You now enjoy doing commercial work.

Its useless for residential IMO.

You must thoroughly vacuum the carpets first (although I would assume you do this any way)

As mark says be careful about leaving a wet pad on the carpet and if you do rugs with it ( as I do) be especially careful.

Here's where I disagree with Mark, I use it every week on residential and find it fine, if you do a lot of 80/20 as I do it's fantastic, just takes practise and once you have cleaned Flotex with it you won't clean it any other way.

Clients love the fast drying times. ;)

hello doug

good tips from all above if you want the30min drying times
wring your pad out in a wringer mop bucket
i would also use my texatherm on domestic carpets but not all.
