Just purchases a Mytee Lite II...any tips for using

bdaly84 · 03-19-07, 12:15

Well, I have been using a Bissell for the last 2 years and I pulled the trigger on an extractor. I was comparing them and found the Mytee Lite II to be the best for the money and space I have to work with in my truck.

My question is...how different is the extractor going to be from the bissell. Obviously size, power and effectivness, but how bout the use of the machine. Is there anything I should know from the experiences you all have had. I am pumped to use it this week. I have an 06 CTS and 07 Tahoe coming up, that I would like to use it in.

buy a professional preconditioner, IE ultra pcka or biokleen's traffic lane cleaner. Then use a profissional rinse agent. all fiber rinse, dry slurry. Your carpet and fabric detailes will be amazing.

Thanks Grouse. Where is the best site or place to purchase either one? I am so excited to use this machine.

google interlink supply

I highly recomend Prochem ultrapac LVC and prochem dryslurry as your chemicals

Dry slurry is mixed in the solution tank, and ultra pack is sprayed via 1/2 gallon garden sprayer as your preconditioner.

Grouse has you set up good with the chemicals, as far as use it doesn't really work too differently than your Bissell... except for the fact that the Mytee will work 100x better.

I just got my Mytee HP60 a couple weeks ago and it was one of the best purchases I've made. A professional extractor makes all the difference. Enjoy!

Oh yeah, I have a question for Grouse... do you recommend any defoamer products, or is this necessary?

I will be ordering the products you suggested soon. I've been using a product called Extract Power, made by Pro, I believe. The company that I bought the Mytee from threw a gallon of it in for free. It seems to work fine, but I trust your opinion so will be using the chemicals you suggested.

Also, these chemicals are good general use cleaners, right? Are there any products you would suggest for more out of the ordinary stains, such as red? I'd like to have a good selection of products to choose from in addition to the general, go to products, should I need them.

Thanks!

in most modern product lines a defoamer is not nessisary. It's primary uses is to aid in the removal of some fiber that is foaming your machine.

Lets say you spray down a car's fabric seats. As you clean your suction hose starts to clog up with foam. By adding a bit of de-foamer to your solution tank you can keep your hose from becoming a rich lather. solution tank. This way you spray defoamer as you prep for drystroke and extraction. add just a tiny bit to your recovery tank.

If the products supplied to you make more than a light set of bubbles as you extract and dry vac. Then you need to switch. The more foam in your hose, the less suction, when suction is reduced you leave the carpet and fiber exponentially wetter.

The products listed are general purpose cleaners. they deal with daily oils and soils. They are not spotting agents.

For spotters i suggest the following
Citrus solv (prochem) OIL, grease,tar
POG (bi-o-kleen Paint oil grease) similar to citurs solv
T-rust ( prochem) rust remover
bac-out (biokleen) food stuffs and bio spills)
Stain magic (pro's choice) natrual dye stains coffee (regular), pomogranete juice, wood tanin
Red relief (pro's choice) Syntetic dyes Decaff coffee, kool aid, popsicles
Urine stain remover (pro's choice) Yellowing and well Urine.

bdaly84 how much did you pay for this unit and where did you purchace it from? Grouse that was some good info when I get mine I will be trying that route

kpagel · 03-19-07, 05:10

I know you didn't address your question to me, but I just recently did some extensive research on extractors. I decided on sticking with Mytee as I was able to purchase one locally, and they are even built relatively close to me, so if anything needs repair it will be much easier for me. My choice was between the Mytee Lite II and the Mytee HP60. I wound up going with the more powerful, more expensive HP60 for a few reasons, although the Mytee Lite II is also a really nice unit.

Anyways, if you google Detail Supply Outlet, you will find their site. In my research, they have the best prices on Mytee equipment and their service is great!

kpagel what will be the things that will up sell me from the Mytee Lite II to the HP60.
