Poorboy`s Extractor Forumla

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?
 
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 better :) I`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!

 
I`ve been in touch with his son Stephen over the past few weeks. He`s still detailing in his Father`s shoes.

Here`s the thread link to the introduction of SSF1 Hot Water Extractor Formula by Dwayne from February, 2017:
https://www.autopia.org/forums/poorboy-s-world-forum/187018-nasty-carpet-shots.html?highlight=Carpet
(Just Jesus started this thread because of the above linked thread)

I do not think this extractor soap formula is available anymore from Poorboy`s. Apparently there was not enough demand to warrant its full-scale production after its beta-testing and introduction.... Another good detailing product no long available. (Does Poorboy`s still have some of it in old/obsolete inventory that was never sold?? I do remember some members asking for it and it was sent to them gratis (AKA free))
And yes, I think long-time Autopians all miss Ronkh and his Corvette detailing exploits.... RIP

Recently I did buy some of the PB Enzyme and Stain Remover formula along with the Carpet and Upholstery Shampoo concentrate for my own carpet and seat fabric cleaning by manual scrubbing and microfiber extraction, using Griot`s Garage new green Dual-Weave Interior Towels (a must-have addition for any Autopian)
I would HIGHLY recommend buying the Enzyme and Stain Remover by the gallon and not the 16 oz. bottle I bought just to try it out, Yes, it works that well and the smell it infuses into fabric seats to eliminate, not just cover up, human sweat (think construction or farm workers) and "other" body functions (think baby or children accidents) odors is excellent AND how well it cleans tough organic (not petroleum oil or asphalt) stains.

Side note:
In the above linked thread I did mention that the Enzyme and Stain Remover might have a parallel application for use in nursing or senior care facilities for use in negating "human body function" smells associated with such facilities. Never heard of anyone trying this product for such a reason or if it would even be a good fit for such facilities common cleaning "problem". Just a suggestion and just curious....
