Most of the TLC I use in the extractors, I generally add defoaming agent to minimize foam in the recovery tank.
Seeing how that worked and no foam in the LGM was a +++

You`re welcome! I`m not a pro, just a hack. So consumer grade will have to doThank you
The combo worked good, IMO.
D`OH! I`ve had mine for about a year.Granted, it`s only the second time I`ve used it. I`ll be keeping close eye on it.
You`re welcome! I, too, am looking forward to those pics. Where are they? haha... I`ll get some on Wed
My guess is spot on with yours! Sorry to have complicated things. hehe
Thank you, sir! Thanks, glad you like `em.- Order them goods, man.
ayyyyyy
You`re welcome. And thanks
I think so, too. I don`t mind opening the rear hatch now![]()
I dig it. Poorboy`s products are my favorite.
haha... I`m very familiar with running out of time. That`s why I sometimes don`t get "after" shots.
Hopefully you can get that comparison done during Spring Break. More use / info would be nice.
Seriously, though. A pro machine would be great to have. One day....
Glad you enjoyed, Accumulator. And you`re welcome.
Ummm.... I think *I`m* the one who missed something? I`m supposed to rinse afterwards?I should have read the instructions on the LGM. oops. Next session, I`ll rinse out using clean water.

I can see the need low foam in using a machine (do not want foam everywhere) but isn`t the most important thing is that the soap can be removed completely from what you are cleaning?
Doesn`t foaming only indicate the presence of residual soap and not necessarily an indication of rinsing ability? That is, is the absence of foam does not mean a low foam soap has been completely removed?

The Need to Bead
Bunky -
This doesn`t apply to the LGCM.....but some extractor chems foam quite a bit, which just fills up your recovery tank. Either that means you are emptying the recovery tank more often, or you just add a dash of foam agent to cut that down....same thing, just different recourse.
Cleaning carpets for me, is not via a a LFCM but via a extractor.
It`s generally pre-treat isoloated stains, TLC, dwell and then extract with rinse agent. In general, one is using at least 2 chems in that process (just short of specific spot stainers).
I got lost re: JJ / Accumula post on LGCM, and my I looked up the LGCM. They say it does inject water, so both had me lost where there were discussing not rinsing the carpet, as I presume as he used the unit, it did inject/extract rinse water. And or maybe Accumulator was saying, did he rinse/extract with a rinse agent
I think there is a rinse step that is not included by some ... After using the solution(s), I would normally go over the same area with just water and then vacuum, to make sure all the soap is gone .. Bunky , the low foam allows you to see when the water turns clean ..
I use defoamer (always in the recovery tank) to keep the sucked-up liquid in the extractor`s recovery tank "flat", even when not using a machine where that`s critical for its well-being.
I always rinse to get the shampoo completely out, even when the residue is (supposedly) such that it won`t retain subsequent contamination.
the LGM does inject water. But my mistake, i didn`t follow up with a rinse step using only clean water.
Thank you, gentlemen, for that. Now I know betterI`ll have to go at it again, and do the rest of the Jeep, so I`ll be sure to do so.
In the meantime, here`s a pic of the seat after it`s dried out. Yes, I need to follow up with more extraction on this one. It`s a noticeable improvement, though!

Challenging color, good work!
Wowthat seat has come a long way ... great job and thanks
