Ok, here goes. Please note in some cases the lack of continueity as I may just list "things". I had thought that I would be cleaning against, we will call him Tim, under or at least some sort of test conditions. However he had thought it best to just turn up and clean against him on a church that he had the contracts to clean. ......Not a problem.....Tim could not clean in and amongst fixed chairs similar to cinema seats.......... not clean to corners........ not clean stairs.......... not clean entrance matting as it tore up his pads.......... not clean vinyl areas.......not clean tiled areas....... not clean concrete walk ways...........goodness knows what chemicals he was using, at this point I add that he was using Texatherms chemicals but the containers had no information on them as to what they were, ph wise or anything wise........... He did HAVE to use gloves though and the resulting smell from the pre-spray inparticular was quite irratating. Tim at this point had said that it caused him breathing problems, small places being a huge problem....... cant clean bad spots and stains as to Tims words it isnt an extraction sysytem so it doesnt work the same way or get the same reults........cant clean at sustained heat........There were many other limitations I felt but thought these were more down to the technician so not a problem, things like he didnt move any furniture type of thing.........The carpet I brought with me wasnt used as again Tims "inspector" felt that it was un fair to use my machine against theirs........In contrast to the cant clean list above, the machine that I use can indeed clean all that was listed, with standard attachments and un-like Tims the machine sustains heat to the carpet being cleaned.......... My biggest concern was the chemicals being used. None of the containers had any information on them as to the p.h. I thought this was nonsense as, how are you to know what is for what. Tim said that he used an acid to pre-spray with and an alkali to rinse with, bass ackward if you ask me but again how is one to know if it doesnt say on the container. I went to Texatherms web site and there safety sheets have no information on any of their chemicals as to the p.h. How the blazes can you use a chemical to clean something when you dont know what it is in the first place??? and dont you have to label the p.h. of a chemical solution. All my chemicals are labelled with all sorts of info and inparticular the p.h..........Please note that Tim and I got on very well and had a laugh comparing the 2 machines and then cleaning the church. The inspector wasnt so pleased though as now realises that Tims machine is one step off of useless in this situation. ..... Apart from the chemical issues I can see that this system certainly can have some uses, however cleaning this church and or against the system I use there is no need for it, ever!!!!!...... I understand that it is low moisture which is fine but as to if it can out clean the system I use or any truck mount for that matter, you are having a laugh.....Would you wash your hair by just spraying it with a shampoo and then rubbing it with a wet towel? I think not. Anyway, at least someone had the dangly bits to offer his system up to be tested against another one. I hope there is a cfr tech out there willing to do the same thing, however I am not holding my breath. Again I do understand there are times where Texatherm and the cfr's of this world might be used and so not knocking them.............As always, best, Dave.
