I did carpet cleaning for about 15 years for a franchise in town. I always kept the handles closer to my hips. 😁 I miss the work. Instant gratification seeing dirty pads and a freshly cleaned carpet. Great video!
You will prefer the larger pad, I tried both the 17" and 19.5" and the overhang is better to go against the wall. My 17" machine also has a 15" drive block. Good points about seasonal cleaning, make hay when the sun shines and the early years are leaner in the off season.
One more thing, I timed you and it took 3 minutes to spray the entire room. It then took 4 minutes to scrub the room with the brush, and it looks like about 6 minutes with the Ironman. If you put the tank on your machine and you shower feed your solution you will eliminate the time you spent spraying. You will still get the dwell time as you will take a few minutes scrub the entire room and then when you switch to the ironman you go back to where you started. I have tried it both ways and found using the tank is faster and more precise and I never need to bring in my sprayer except when I do steps.
Looking at getting the Commercial Oreck Orbiter off of Amazon since they've got such a good discount on it and it works within my budget, however, I noticed it doesn't appear to come with any of the brushes/pads/bonnets. Not sure if it even comes with a driver... If you ever get the time to make a Oreck Orbiter "Starter Kit" using Amazon Affiliate links, I will buy everything through those so you can get a kickback. (I'm sure others would as well to support the channel) Thank you _very much_ for all the content and assistance you provide to the community!
@@procarpetcleaning Thanks for the tip; I'll look into it! Edit: www.amazon.com/Oreck-Commercial-ORB550MC-Orbiter-Machine/dp/B008BPFK1U This is the one you are recommending, yes? The listing says Commercial, but the imagery says Oreck XL Pro.
@@procarpetcleaning Really! Well that's good to know in case I need to use something like that in the future to eliminate odors. I know people get a real kick out of Febreze but all you have to do is spray that in a room and stay out of the room for a day and you'll smell the same odor again I did buy a gallon of OdoBan but I'll just use that for the simple stuff. Thanks again Paul👍😁
@@Matt-Olive-Digital chlorine dioxide robs the amino chain from its protein molecules. This restructuring of the amino chain is what destroys the odor DUDE!
@@Shadow-ij7qn Technically both Green dragon and Dragon Phire are for stains. Dragon Phire more aggressive though, it is a higher PH and has a booster in it (think Peroxide kind) but really is good. Its unscented. I know the green dragon can come with a nice lemon scent. I just did a carpet and did one scoop of both per gallon....easiest clean up ever!
@@procarpetcleaning Thanks. Is this machine actually made for carpets, or just being used for carpets? What are the RPM's, and how heavy is this machine?

Thanks Lance. It is gratifying to see the results

The video was speed up 2x lol. 🤣🤣 it took much longer. Took my time due to customer in & out.
Dirty Pads time 🤘I so love seeing the dirty pads!
Keep up the good work Paul
Break in your brush on your driveway with water for 5 minutes. Also place the handle around hip height it’s much easier to handle.
That machine looks so easy to maneuver
Nice info.
Glad it was helpful!
So satisfying love seeing the dirty pad😊🔥😍💪👍👋👌🏻👏🏼

Hi Will, go for the Oreck Xl Pro model. Bigger motor. The commercial I think only has 1/3 hp in it. Thanks for your kind words 🙏🏼

The tool is the heel of your shoe or hammer.
What make is this vlm? I want to get one
What electric sprayer do you have on this video? I'm searching for a good reliable one. :)
I like the worx sprayer. See my newer videos. It’s available on eBay $50 refurbished units from the manufacturer. Best sprayer in 28 years for me 👍🏻
How do you charge your customers? I am new and doing the encapsulate cleaning.
By the room
Hi Paul , what kind of software for editing are you using?
App called perfect video on my iPhone 8s
lower the handle you will have more control
Can you use the iron man pad with a dirt napper brush?
No
Great job Paul can you give me the difference between the odor death and the OdoBan that you use in a couple of your videos.
👍😁
Day and night. Odoban masks the odor, odor death eliminates it 👍🏻

@@Matt-Olive-Digital so , what should I use to get rid of pet urine odor doing basically encapsulation cleaning
When not use the orbit? Whts the difference between them
No reason. Just quicker with the larger machine.
Do you know of a prespray carpet soap that is universal, that can be used on all carpet types?
Green dragon from the encapstore dot com
@@procarpetcleaning Throw in that Dragon Phire for them tough jobs! stuff is amazing!!! Cheap and makes us money.
@@stephenfrazier1439 Is Dragon Phire for stains?

Why not your mytee eco for this job Paul?
Didnt have it yet 🤣
How do you use your clo2 ? Simply post spray ?
Yes. Straight no dilution
Paul, thanks to you my VLM skills have improved 100%. God, bless you.
What kind of machine is that?

@@procarpetcleaning Thanks. Is this machine actually made for carpets, or just being used for carpets? What are the RPM's, and how heavy is this machine?
95lbs. It’s a 175 floor machine made for carpet as well. Open the link I sent u for details
Bro, lower the handle to your hips. Soo much easier, cord over shoulders and its on.
Lower the handle.
I’ve learned since then 😂
