hi, good questions. A 12 inch buffers are convenient but like you said it would take a much longer time. I used to use an Oreck that was 13 inches on the floors in this video I just noticed time took longer and some of the higher traffic areas took longer as well because the smaller rotary is a light machine. The Oreck burned out after a year and a half of commercial use so currently looking for a better small rotary. I heard the hot rod agitator is pretty good but I've never had one. if you're seeing buffing works it could be that the carpets aren't wet enough. You want to make sure that the path covers the whole driver and the pad is very wet as well. hope this helps out let me know.
Nice video , JacobI recommend purchasing a crb which scrubs very well, especially the black brushes and evenly distributed the dirt / stains so it's no longer visible. Then, the encap takes over from there. Crb allows you to be super fast while doing great work , you will be even more competitive while maintaining high margins that other cleaners cannot
White polishing pads or red pads work really well for me. Then I use a white bonnet pad to dry the carpet. My choice of chemicals are either shampoo, peroxy, tribase, or degreaser. My former supervisor showed me how to do it. For me I prefer that over bonnet cleaning. It's definitely a time saver with a quicker dry time
The best way would be to use a brush pad to break up the dirt and stains,then bonnet pad to pick up the dirt and polish the carpet at the same time,then use high powered vacuum to get any left over crystalized diry
like your videos identicard professional carpet cleaner for 20 years now only one thing lock your handle and use your floor machine properly going side to side it is much more ergonomic and it's safer or just get a CRB nice results
I was just going to offer the same tip. Bring the handle down to a comfortable height and re-lock. It looked like you were working harder than you needed to be trying to control the machine.
Hey Jacob, I really appreciate you creating these videos. Just a suggestion, lock ur floor machine into position before scrubbing the carpet. It will vastly reduce the wobble while working. Please make more videos
Nice video. Have 20k sqft coming up in the next few weeks that we will be encaping with 2 cimex machines. Much easier to do than pulling out all that hose.
Most definitely I've used both and like this one better. I don't use this yellow brush anymore since I got my 10 inch crb I'll use it to make the lines it's great no fatigue and the lines look great.
Personally I like brushing the lines out cause the lines tend to be too distracting for my taste. Anyhow, would you recommend a stiff bristle push broom? That's what I am thinking
Not sure what you mean by vlm. but for dirty nasty carpet I pre spray with a high ph solution agitat with a CRB or a rotary with a wight scrub pad. then use an acid rinse I'm my truckmount to steam it out then use encapsulation to brighten up the carpet with another white scrubber pad on the rotary
VLM is a carpet cleaning methodology Very Low Moisture. It includes bonnet cleaning, cylindrical brush machine, etc. basically encap and scrub using some tool... HWE hot water extraction methodology is basically your truckmount I combine the two methodologies all the time and call it 'hybrid' carpet cleaning. It works excellent in restoration scenarios. www.HowellsCarpeetCleaning.com
I have a video on my website demonstrating residential VLM. It was my first video taken with my Galaxy. A Cylindrical Brush Machine is what you are looking for to perform residential VLM. www.HhowellsCarpetCleaning.com
I don't use this method on residential just hot water extraction. I used to pre agitat with my 175 befor I expected. now I have a rotovac 360i with a brush head so no need for that anymore I have made a few videos on that . feel free to check then out
I do turnover cleaning right now here in Oregon for about 6 months now. I want to transist into carpet cleaning. I personally think its a very interesting job and science personally.
hello.. first thank you for providing these videos. they are very helpful. 2nd with this type of cleaning are you just using your pre spray, buffer then groom brush? (I have purchased the same brush and love it) .... thanks again
avoid leaving pad and machine standing on carpet, lay it down. you will notice next day all the soil transfer marks from soil laden polish pad or bonnet if you use one.
I have a hot rod agitator and it works but it is not fast and it leaves bad, hard to remove swirl marks on plush carpet i.e. polyester. And if you'll take some advice from an old timer in this biz.... I noticed when you wand and when you rake with that brush you always go from right to left. Or when you do work left to right you're always on the same side of the wand or brush. Make yourself use the other side of the tool until it is second nature. You're hands will thank you. Your back/body will thank you too.
What he is using looks like a buffing pad (they sale a carpet cleaning green and white pad also that has soft brush like hairs and is better than the pad he is using) you can not get those at home depot, you need to go to a specialized cleaning store to buy one
Honestly, I couldn't see a before and after difference at all on that dark green carpet. In fact, it still looked dirty to me in front of the doorway entrances. Hard to be sure. But, isn't the soil supposed to be removed doring the vacuum process? I mean, it's premature to expect a clean carpet at this stage, right?
Yes, The buffer really does wonders on carpets. But I'm sure after the agitation with the the floor buffer you're suppose to extract the dirt with a carpet cleaning machine. "Steamcleaner" Can't believe he didn't do that. He just hid all that grime without steam cleaning it. I know because I've got my own Equipment, and steamclean afterwards.
Just FYI, those that are calling his machine a "buffer", its not a buffer. This machine does anywhere from 250-500rpm depending on pad. Floor buffers are technically 1000 rpms all the way up to 10,000. This machine has more torque as well that a traditional floor buffer.
Absolutely lock that neck on that buffer and control your cord on your shoulder and behind you. If you have your buffer locked and the right height you can side to side instead of back and forth.
is that spray soapy? i just see this machine rubbing it into the floor, no water, no suction, no heat. if it's soapy, that means the carpet will have a sticky like feeling when it dries YUK!
blindedby2monkeys . It’s encapsulation cleaning. It’s very dry and most of the dirt goes on the bonnets. Very affective cleaning method. Some say better then steam because it drys so fast.
Hey... need to make a new video titled 'Encapsulation Cleaning vs Flat Earth'. Why? Because it is easier to explain flat earth theory than it is to explain how encapsulation cleaning removes dirt.
Normally I wouldn't say because my mother told me "if you don't have anything nice to say,. don't say anything at all." Thats a good formula to live by, however, we can say this is constructive criticism. Jacob, read the manual for operation for the buffer, its going to show you how to lock the buffer for smooth operation. This reduces damage to the carpet, the buffer and you. Also, read the book on your cleaning solution or call your rep. I believe your using the buffer, the sprayer the solution and the shag brush incorrectly . Your a good hard worker just need to work smarter.
I'm not so sure about encapsulation. Beans are encapsulated in a can and cans can be kicked down the road. The beans and can are still there ON THE ROAD So to speak, catch my drift. Show me the vacuum cleaner encapsulated debris.
Nice video Jacob. I am kinda to the carpet cleaning industry and I 've learned a lot from your videos, Thanks!!

+DrJ 303 never used it but the 360I and the XL both look like great machines
Hi great vid. What kind of Broome brush is that? Is it just a normal brush? Thanks
Good job, I'm glad you didn't forget to talk about the vacuum, because it is very important step in this kind a process.
Nice video , JacobI recommend purchasing a crb which scrubs very well, especially the black brushes and evenly distributed the dirt / stains so it's no longer visible. Then, the encap takes over from there.

ARTIE O WHATS A CRB?
Counter Rotating brush machine
What sprayer are you using ?
I like the way you brushed in the shark teeth. It's a nice touch. I didn't think of that. Thanks for taking the make to make your videos.

what color or type of brush pad? How about a white pad then bonnet?
like your videos identicard professional carpet cleaner for 20 years now only one thing lock your handle and use your floor machine properly going side to side it is much more ergonomic and it's safer or just get a CRB nice results
I was just going to offer the same tip. Bring the handle down to a comfortable height and re-lock. It looked like you were working harder than you needed to be trying to control the machine.
Do you use a cotton pad after the white polisher pad?
Hi, great video ! Is that an ORBITAL type machine ? or regular 175 floor machine ?
It’s a 175
Where did the dirt go?
Did you go back and extract?
Hey Jacob, I really appreciate you creating these videos. Just a suggestion, lock ur floor machine into position before scrubbing the carpet. It will vastly reduce the wobble while working. Please make more videos
Nice video. Have 20k sqft coming up in the next few weeks that we will be encaping with 2 cimex machines. Much easier to do than pulling out all that hose.
That brush seems to work better than my carpet rake.... Going to have to give it a go and try it out.

What is your residential VLM process on dirty carpets? Do your need to agitate fist or just use the white bonnet to clean and agitate? thanks
Not sure what you mean by vlm. but for dirty nasty carpet I pre spray with a high ph solution agitat with a CRB or a rotary with a wight scrub pad. then use an acid rinse I'm my truckmount to steam it out then use encapsulation to brighten up the carpet with another white scrubber pad on the rotary

Thanks Jacob, nice video. I love your videos, keep them coming, I'm learning so much fro you, thanks a million.
Great video.. what is exactly the name of the solution u are using please let me know??? Thank u
Love your videos. One question: im planning on trying this encapsulation process soon. Will my floor machine need a bristled pad driver? Thanks
I do turnover cleaning right now here in Oregon for about 6 months now. I want to transist into carpet cleaning. I personally think its a very interesting job and science personally.
what brand is your machine ? thank you
Wow looks great
I like the grooming at the end
Host, The Most Certified Floor Cleaning System In The World!
Hey Mr Jacob I like your videos I learn a lot thanks. Yovani of Houston.
Hey Jacob, what was the name of that particular brand of cleaner you held up?
ok only one process?there is no need to collect the dirt after it?
What brush bristle type is this one? Seems is a soft yellow but it does have any number or name? Excellent Jon Jacob.
I’m not sure I got it at Home Depot. But I’m using a carpet rake now
hello.. first thank you for providing these videos. they are very helpful. 2nd with this type of cleaning are you just using your pre spray, buffer then groom brush? (I have purchased the same brush and love it) .... thanks again
Ok im new to this whats the purpose of the brushing
To lift up the carpet fibers to allow better air flow for faster dry time & a more uniform appearance after cleaning.
Disculpa. K. Quimico es el k usas. Para esa carpeta grasias ?
NICE JOB Guy!
Great video! I offer the same thing. I use a oreck and bonnet pad. I always vacuum after I use the bonnet!
Of course to get up any crystalized dirt left over
can you use this encapsulation treatment on heavily soiled restaurants as well as those tuff soiled residential carpets !
SpotlessCarpetva yes you could you would just go through more pads but it would work I've seen some videos on TH-cam with ppl encaping restaurants
Jacob Alvarado, what pump sprayer did you use in this video. Can you please give me the make & model number.
I really like your videos.
Joe Shmo. did he ever tell you what sprayer he used?I'm looking for a good one myself.
you should make a video on why carpet browns and how to take the Browning off.
avoid leaving pad and machine standing on carpet, lay it down. you will notice next day all the soil transfer marks from soil laden polish pad or bonnet if you use one.
I have a hot rod agitator and it works but it is not fast and it leaves bad, hard to remove swirl marks on plush carpet i.e. polyester.

Your back/body will thank you too.
Plus he kicking the machine handle to drop it. Is that yours???
Good job
I can't find that brush at home depot. Anyone have a link? Thx
What he is using looks like a buffing pad (they sale a carpet cleaning green and white pad also that has soft brush like hairs and is better than the pad he is using) you can not get those at home depot, you need to go to a specialized cleaning store to buy one
Did you seriously brush lines into the carpet post cleaning??? What the actual fuck
Is this call dry carpet cleaning?
How much you charge for s.ft.
Man you’re killing yourself lock that buffer neck when using it keeps it from bouncing around I was cringing watching you use it lol
jammy46235 I thought it was raggedty
BossaNova Ross 😂😂😂I give you props though for keeping it under control 👍
I noticed the same thing.
great job man ,thanks
buen trabajo
It not a nice experience when your cord gets caught in the buffer especially with the cord close to your feet. Work safely and smart.

@@waltergorena9597 In that case you might as well steam clean it from the start instead of going through all of those steps prior

Whats it called then?
Wrong it is a floor buffer 175-330 rpm.1000 and up are called floor burnishers.......................

hmmm? nice brush trick i see..it looks like it was done with a wand...i see now why u said trick...thats the intent is it not?
yes it is

So the dirt is just ground in, is what I get from this. Im not a fan of this.
@@edwardfernandez7516 He's saying it's difficult to explain what encapsulation cleaning is....
Have that same brush and I love it lol one of the best brushes in regards to grooming.
That’s not a bonnet that’s a buffing pad.
nice
