Vacuumed but still pulled out more pet hair with CRB's

Scrub with Brush Master Pro CRB

Extract with Microfiber Bonnets on Tankless Orbot Vibe

Groom with 10'' CRB with soft brushes



I love SETT !!!

You really should be on Pad Life Forum! It’s a good one for padders and you won’t have to try to convince anyone, except on that last sentence.

I was a member of Pad Life but rarely commented

I recently deleted my Face Book account so no more Face Book

 

[SteamwayPro]

Your screen name should be settpro.

I like that

I've been thinking about changing my screen name

SteamwayPro doesn't fit me anymore

I love my encap machines. I have a vibe and a Phoenix. I also have a third one by tops, but can’t remember the name. I think its an Odyssey. Also my cimex and 175. All come in handy.

I have a 12k sqft jobber coming up. I plan to put them all in action.

The future of Carpet Cleaning is not HWE, it's VLM

And you guys need me to keep you updated on this new technology



I think John G came up with the name VLM but that was many years ago

I use VLM here but on my website and talking to customers I call it Low Moisture Cleaning (LMC)



But out in the VLM World more and more cleaners are calling VLM by a new name

So I want all of Mikey's Board to know. VLM is now called ...

Soil Extraction Transfer Technology or SETT



I love SETT !!!

Was it Robin at Oxy Dry that coined SETT?

I have 2 Odyssey

In most cases I use Odyssey on small residential and Tankless Vibe on big Residential

I bought Odyssey in early 2020 and it was a GAME CHANGER for me

I had been using a Challenger on residential to extract after scrubbing with a CRB

Odyssey was a huge UPGRADE over Challenger



Thank You TOPS !!!

Is Mikey's Board VLM Friendly ???



Mikey's Board is GROUP THINK

Everybody sticks together, thinks the same, agrees with each other, and likes each others comments

You must flood carpet with gallons of water to clean it

You can do it that way, but is there a better way to clean carpet in 2025



What I'm trying to do is ... ''Open some Eyes''

I want to promote the VLM/SETT Method and make it the PREMIUM Carpet Cleaning Method for 2025

LESS water MORE agitation




That is a Living Room for one of the Apartments in the Apt Complex I clean

CLEAN and DRY in 1-2 Hours

You know we’re vlm friendly UNTIL someone says something ignorant like this! You know that’s not true and you’re trying to
trigger or gaslight! Most here aren’t one trick pony’s either way!

 

[hogjowl]

We’re friendly as long as you don’t come here lying. Your lies were so egregious that I think Mikey asked you to get the post count up.

Arrogance will get you everywhere

9.5flow on my wand cleaning at 600-650 and my dry times are as low as 1-3hrs.

It's called "cleaning", not buffing carpet.

But I wonder when Aramsco is gonna take down the jondon sign in the Atlanta location??? And when are they gonna buy out Legend next?

Many of us are multi-method cleaners. We choose the tools most applicable to the job at hand.

 

[SteamwayPro]

You can't teach old dogs new tricks but CHANGE is inevitable

 

[SteamwayPro]

I should have said ...

I want to promote the VLM/SETT Method and make it the PREMIUM carpet cleaning Method of the FUTURE

2025 is too soon. 2030 ???



Many reasons for that. One of the major reasons is COST

COST of doing business using the HWE Method is ridiculous HIGH

Prices on TM's, TM Repair costs, TM replacement parts, Wands, Uph Tools, Stair Tools etc etc etc are skyrocketing

HUGE profits using the VLM/SETT Method !!!



The FUTURE of carpet cleaning is VLM !!!

 

[SteamwayPro]

More reasons ...

VLM doesn't pollute the environment

NO petroleum needed

How about water conservation

VLM doesn't waste thousands of gallons of water a week


HWE has many more disadvantages than advantages


The FUTURE of carpet cleaning is VLM !!!

 

[jessi]

Do you own a water claw

 

[BIG WOOD]

He finally said it!

His reason of petroleum being one of the causes to switch to VLM. Lol

Electric mania here we come. lol

 

[Kenny Hayes]

I’m beginning to doubt you ever really owned
a truckmount or a portable, for that matter. I don’t think it would be a debate if so. I’d much rather get a wand out of a van all day,
than a heavy ass machine time after time! I’m d u n!

 

[Dr. Kleen]

The old “straw man” argument… I can’t wait to wipe my dirty clothes “clean” in the future. Getting rid of my washing machine next! Lol

It's the same argument the host cleaners had in th 70s and the chem dry guys had in the 90slook.where they are now , meanwhile im still " soaking them rugs" and they eighter switched or faded away . So will the vlm guys quit tryin to change there minds a bee doesn't waste its time trying to convince a fly that honey tastes better than shit and neigther should you! To quote Forrest Gump " that's all i have to say about that "

 

[BIG WOOD]

Before/after on a job m HWE today

Yes, this is a candidate to lmc

But will I ever do that? He’ll no

I’m going behind a cleaner last month who wasted their time bisseling it. If I buffed this carpet with the latest floor buffing technology, I’d leave behind all that leftover dry soap from the bissell

But hey, you do you

I’m really cleaning it

 

[SteamwayPro]

CHANGE is not easy. I get it especially for you older guys

You must flood carpets with gallons of water to clean it ... WRONG



I will check back on the GROUP THINK in 2030

And I will continue to promote the VLM/SETT Method as the PREMIUM carpet cleaning Method

When done correctly




The FUTURE of carpet cleaning is VLM !!!

 

[SteamwayPro]

This could go on forever. We must agree to disagree

You guys will continue to use HWE and I will continue to use VLM

Both Methods WORK. When done correctly

I prefer VLM

For me the END !!!

9.5flow on my wand

My 6 flow two jet with a Slot flushes very well.
All sorts of tiny goobers in the paint filter

The 3flow jets are perfect

I wish I could put 3 flow jets on my ti wand. But 18flow might be a little overkill lol

 

[Kenny Hayes]

Any of em flush better than an OP! (without flooding) #oldguy

Ron Lippold used to do that with his Vortex
