GOT some now
Nick
-
can i just ask what the sebo duo is please
-
Nordan,
It is a machine with two contra-rotating brushes, designed orriginaly for brushing in granuals for VLM cleaning - a cheaper a more light-weight alternative to the Host machine.
It is very usefull for brushing in pre-sprays and for 'opening' pile prior to dry vacuum treatment.
If you consider getting one, I think Nicks' price is unbeatable.
John.

cheers

I got one at Amtech day.........great piece of kit 8)
Saves lots of brushing with carpet brush and very light to carry about ::)........at my age i need to think of the shoulders and the back :o
I use it on every job now and it does bring up loads of fluff for vacuuming, as well as lifting pile.
-
Have alook at the fibre dri machines in the prochem cat.
Imo due to cropped brush constuction,they are better agitators than the host machine.They also do a suprisingly good job at lifting and collecting sand etc ,with the optional renovator boxes.
I saw an ex demo Tm4 model for sale today at Cleaning Systems UK 0800 163 555 (£845+vat)

I saw a sebo duo on Mick Halidays van and I'm sure he'll have had a good road test of it what do you think of it Mike?
I think he's selling it for £25 if you send him a PM 1st come 1st served.

What is the difference between the Duo and the bs 36 ???
-
Hi
Sebo duo is a small dry powder agitation machine also ideal for agitiaion of micro splitters, BS 36 is a twin motored commercial upright vacuum cleaner.
Best regards Nick

Got one yesterday gone are the days of agitating with a pile brush, a friend used it first with micro splitting agent on a rank and I mean rank rug. He was so impressed he phoned Nick strait away and ordered one and the solutions.

For anyone whoms got a duo don't forget to strip of the brushes every couple of weeks and clean out all the hairs thaty get trapped in the drive coupling ( I'm not talking about the hairs that collect in the teeth that keeps the brushes clean).
My Duo siezed up last week because of all the trapped hairs, luckily it did'nt burn out the motor.
keep an eye on it.
Mike
Ps to keep the brushes extra clean turn it upside down, turn it on & then push a fork into the brushes :o you'll be amazed how much crap flies out!
-
Hi Guys
I would have to say that I clean mine at least once and sometimes twice a week.
Before I start another job I run the brushes on a piece of barrier matting I carry round to run off the loose fibres and general crap from the last job before putting it on to the next carpet to be cleaned.
I also leave the tray off at the end of the day to let the brushes dry.

Mike & Woodman
Thanks for the info
Len

can the sebo duo do a better job than heavy prespotting by hand
-
Nordan
I would never heavy pre-spot any thing, if you are local tomorrow evening Maidstone rail station I’ll be in the pub about 8pm I will lend you the sebo duo but I will need it back Sunday night send me a pm with your phone number if you are interested!

Hi Guys
Yes I'm afraid that I'm the one???? Len's mate who got his hands on his Sebo Duo first. Cleaned a right old as Len put it RANK rug,and was very pleased with the result. and with a little help from the cleaning solution we used.
Got mine today Fri PM.
-
Hi Kevin,
Sounds like you owe Len a couple of pints :D
John.
PS. Len, I wrote "couple" expecting to get my cut one of these days ;)
-
Hi Nordan
when using micro splitters part of the system is to thoroughly agitate the solution into the carpet, on smaller jobs the sebo duo is an ideal tool.
Best regards Nick

John

You are fast becoming the patron Saint of Carpet Cleaning and we will all soon be able to pay homage at Gribble City (a bit like the Vatican but with Carpet instead of Marble ::))

Just want to say a big thanks to Saint Len who popped over to Crawley on Saturday to meet up with me and our deep clean crew to see what we do and the methods that we use.
He was more than willing to help us out with his truck-mount and words of advice - and without payment.
He is a true star and a credit to this profession.
Thanks again Len. Pity you couldn't stay, would have been brilliant to see you strutting your funky stuff in Bar Med later. ;)
