When I started experimenting with VLM I cleaned my own carpet many times with crystallizers and film formers before using them on a customers carpet

After many times 7-8-9 I don't even how many times I used VLM on my carpet, I decided I better rinse that crap out of my carpet using my TM

I had my defoamer ready for all the foam but I never needed the defoamer

You couldn't even tell it just rinsed out NO PROBLEM

Sometimes steam cleaning is just BETTER !!!

BIG WOOD, IN 45 years of cleaning never had the privilege of cleaning Astroturf.

What chemical do you use for that?

Just hwe a restaurant that juses vlm clogged the shit outa my filer box with this sawdust looking shit 3 times!
Did you vacuum first?
I used a cheap paint brush to apply it. Its lighter today so I will apply it again.
Yes I should have put plastic under it. The porcelain tile wasnt installed well so Im not so concerned about it. I did pull it off the wood though.
I had 2 small spots that didnt come out so retreated.
This is the paint brush I use.

In some cases Steam Cleaning is better than VLM

It still has it's place in 2025


I never cleaned Astroturf on a Farm used for Animals

WATER PRESSURE would clean it better than Agitation

Plus it's made for outside so you can't over wet it


But for Houses with People VLM is BETTER !!!
