Hi Easter Bunny
You may be supprised.
When you mix up your preferred pre-spray solution with warm, hot or very hot water it only has about 4ft to travel before it hits the carpet & it will hit it at the same temperature as is in the sprayer.
Yes it will cool quickly but it has already started doing its job.
On occasion I use Blitz (high ph cleaner that needs very hot water to work), I spray it VERY hot & cold rinse at the end. The results are exactly the same whilst using my Tm or portable so cold rinsing has not slowed me down at all.

I'm greedy. I want heat, flow, pressure, chemical, agitation and lots of suck. Why settle for anything less.

in winter when i'm spraying carpets with the hrdra force you can see the heat coming off the carpet, hydra force is best for hot prespray and allthough it cools, if you touch the carpet even a minute aftyer the prespray has been put down the carpet is still very warm.

like i said, i'm not knocking cold water cleaners, but did i mention heat is quicker.

will give it a try with hot pre-spray but i feel what derek just said was a bit of an exaggeration. you must be using boiling hot water derek for it to still be hot a minute after spraying down.

i'm going to do a test. i'll spray fairy on 2 plates with dried tea on them. one bottle with hot fairy, another with cold fairy. will test to see if there any noticeable difference.

still though then we're only talking about prespray hot, would this suggest hot rinse is kind of pointless unless filthy? for hot prespay you don't need anything more then a kettle

[derek west]

hot rinse is again about speed. you prespray a carpet, (hot) you agitate that carpet, the carpet is now clean and needs rinsing, cold water would be fine but, how many times do you rinse a carpet and theres that stain you missed and end up going over it a few times with the wand? again hot rinse to the rescue.

good point. well you convinced me to try heat a bit more often see if it speeds things up a bit. suppose it'll also help with dry times and does look better when customer sees the heat coming out from the wand. feel i'll prob go back to without it though as from what i remember it seemed to take longer to wait for very hot water from the taps and also it's another item to get from the van, to plug another inline hose, wait for it to heat etc.

[derek west]

i'd probably say portable is not much difference in speed, between hot and cold, but i won't cos ive never used one so wouldn't know. i'll let the porty guys answer that one.

You're convinced, but you're not.

That's cleared that up then.

[Adam P]

you lost on the few sentences i wrote? i said he (derek west in case you forgot) has convinced me to try it (using heat when cleaning in case you forgot) again, but i feel i wont last. that's shorter for you so you should get it now
