After spending 2 hours doing a small living room carpet this morning, I have decided to follow peoples advice on here and invest in a magma.

Im quite excited 

[richie]

2 hours?  Why did it take that long?  What chemicals did you use?

Hi

I have storm and the magma and have used it about twice it does produce a lot of heat but I would only use it on big jobs it does take a while to heat up though

It was a dark brown polyprop carpet in quite bad condition.

I used hot mpower 120:1 as I am trying to give mpower a chance on its own to see what it can do. I let it dwell for 15 mins, whilst agitating with sebo duo and spraying a few of the more visible spots with mpower spotter.

I then rinsed it off at 300psi cold water and not much visible change to the carpet (baring in mind its dark brown so only the most extreem spots and stains really showed)

I then took spot-x and eco-x to the remaining spots and stains (around 20 maybe) and treated them all individually.(sprayed, agitate, rinsed, sprayed again, agitate, rinsed until stain is gone)


Client was over the moon. Carpet looked almost brand new.

It took 2 hours from knocking on the door to leaving.

She gave me 4 red bulls as a tip, so maybe the next job will be quicker

Oh, so small jobs you do cold?

Why don't you use hot tap water? 

[Joe W Brown]

Why don't you use hot tap water? 

I am debating it. Is there a limit to how hot the water can be, without damaging airflex?

As far as I know the limit is 60C for the pump, but thats already a big improvement compared to cold. On most of the jobs I only use hot tap water, only get the magma out on EOTs (if theres no hot water available) and mingers (when I need the extra heat).

[Simon@arenaclean]

It's the pump that has a limit I think it's 60 degrees most hot water systems are set lower. I use standard tap hot water on all jobs and I have never had a problem. When using the magma if the tank water is 40 - 60 degrees the heater will heat up all the quicker. I've tried cold water rinsing and find it just does not work for me.

i always use hot tap water where possible,as for heat id say if its too hot to put your hand in then its too hot, not had any problems in my steempro using hotter tho.

Hi Joe

We always use Customers hot water only get the heater out if its very dirty or EOT with no hot water.The heat will help you cut through the mingers mate.

We use a Prochem Steempro

There really is no need to throw a ton of money at an in-line heater... you would be better off putting it towards a good CRB machine which will make a huge difference when brushing in pre sprays.
On a dirty polyprop you could of used something alot stronger than MPower without the risk of damaging anything, in the past i have used SPM and this has worked just fine...

[AshWhite]

I'm with Russ on this one - although heat is an important part of the 'pie', a crb makes for much better agitation than a duo - you'll find the pile is lifted much better, and marks won't take so much extra attention to shift.

I remember having to convince Russ that a CRB was a worthwile addition to his gear!!

Asda price Ash strikes again 

[AshWhite]

It was nothing to do with the fact I had one to sell at the time, hector - if that's what you're insinuating! 

[Ferenc G.]

I have to agree with Ash and Russ. Just bought a proper CRB myself to replace the DUO and the difference was shocking.

Ash ..... you have something to sell all the time..

Cold, Hot Water Soil Extraction System. Mmm Made worse by the use of M Power which is second rate in comparison to SPM and others.
Heat plays a huge part in the cleaning process which is why the latest generation of tm's produce temperatures well in excess of 200 degrees and quite literally carve through even the dirtiest carpets.

Have you been on a course?

Mpower is not for polyprop carpets.  Try spm or powerburst.

Use hot tap water.  It will not damage your machine.

Joe if you still want one I have an unused one £325 mate
