Plenty pre-vac then hwe as normal never had a problem

[Mike Halliday]

Steve would you reccommend using a Dry Fusion machine

Mike

[stevegunn]

No the D/f machine cannot be used on flotex.I have got a spare machine if you want one

[Barry Livingstone]

Flood n scrub thats what it needs then whe

[Mike Halliday]

No thanks, if I wanted a D/F machine I would have bid on that one on Ebay

just show what people think of them, only 2 people bid : you got a good buy all them pads a restore brush and the machine all for 89p.

back to flotex, flood it with prespray, scrub it to death, the rinse it with your wand slightly tilted back to allow for extra airflow.

if the lady suffers from allergies why not use some allerg-stop which will not only clean the floatex but it will also remove the alllergies which means you will be helping the customer even more.


(i do not want to start a debate just adding my opnion)

Hi Colin,

Serious bit: I love cleaning flotex, it always amazes me how much muck comes out even when it does't appear to be that dirty! I assume its in the kitchen, ask her to watch telly in the lounge while you do it and have the door / windows open (in the room being cleaned) and go for the No.2 and rinse as you suggested.

Joke: P.S Dont wear any aftershave, deodorant or hair products. Also do it naked incase your washing powder affects her 

Kind regards,
Jason.

Colin,

I would definitely avoid enzymes but otherwise Flotex is fairly easy to clean.

Best to have the water nice and hot as this makes the cleaning chemicals generally more effective so you use less.

less chemicals less problems.

Cheers

Doug

I cleaned some Flotex with charley pads last week this kept it alot drier, also i used some allerg stop you dont have to be a network member to use it but you can advocate it's advantages to prospective clients!! I have all the info on my website it looks good but i cant have any pics or the logo, but it dosent make any difference really.

I clean flotex by flooding it with solutions No2 then loads of agitation with pile brush or rake and then extract with loads of dry passes.
