Do you even clean carpet hahaha
A sub surface tool can pull moisture out of the pad, I doubt we're pulling all the dust that gathers under the carpet with a primary secondary backing and latex glue.
But your probably sharing from personal experience, which makes me wonder if you know anything about chemistry

Drying isnt a issue I have a problem with.

4.8 not too big but she said it will get the job done
Remember, who started name-calling? I think it started years ago???
Hot water and hydrogen peroxide don't go there that's a NO-NO

Going back to the early days ( 2012 -2019 ) when I first started experimenting with VLM VacAway had a VLM Forum and I would be the TM guy asking all the questions
Joel Hoppe answered all my questions
I used to tell him I should be sending you a check for educating me
THANK YOU Joel
It's now 2026 and I have developed my way of using the VLM Method
Completely different from the way Joel uses VLM
LESS water MORE agitation !!!

No tank for residential
Because I believe you need to CRB residential carpet
1 - Vacuum
2 - Spray down Detergent
3 - Scrub with CRB
4 - Extract with OP
5 - Groom
But I have considered putting a tank on my CRB
Having a tank with sprayer on my CRB would eliminate one step and make the process faster
I wouldn't be able to use it on every job but for Houses/Apartments with no furniture it would work

Do you keep a small spray bottle on hand for areas or spots that need more juice?

YES
It's called VacAway Spot-n-Boost or Spot-n-Boost Green
I mostly use the Green version because it has less odor
Just mist it on spots or traffic lanes agitate with CRB or drill brush
It works !!!

I haven't bought it. I have just considered buying it
It wouldn't work on every situation
Most of the carpets I do at my Apt Complex are spotless. It would work on them
For trashed carpet I would prespray with Worx first and then just add some from CRB on areas/spots that needed more

I'm sure if you buy it you'll find many situations to use it
Heck, I could even find a situation or two to use a TM
most likely not

I think I'm going to order one of these. I had one way back, but I could never get it to prime. I think it was defective because I tefloned every thread and connection.

ZERO and I had a busy week 6 days of workHey George,
how much
when you're cleaning carpets
Did a TRASHED apartment yesterday should have taken pics but I just wanted to get done
My Hoover Hushtone vacuum got clogged should have never used it on that mess
I usually use Kirby on TRASHED Apartments but for some reason I grabbed Hushtone
I got some stiffer brushes ( brown) for my 14'' CRB to be used on TRASHED polyester carpet in Apartments WOW did they do a good job
And of course I used VacAway Double Trouble the BEST encap for Polyester carpet
I love VLM !!!

I bet gas stay up until the middle of September?
1 to 3 gallons a hour sitting in the driveway?
Kirby, they are a Tank, a workhorse!!!
King of vacuums!!!Don't think I'd ever buy a Hushtone unless I got a good deal on a used one? They're just too pretty
George, you talked me into it? I'm gonna order me some Double Trouble!

Oh no I wasn't trying to talk you into itI bet gas stay up until the middle of September?

George, you talked me into it? I'm gonna order me some Double Trouble!
But it gives me the WOW
Nothing I have used cleans polyester carpet better than Double Trouble
I usually use it at 2 oz
3 oz TRASHED
Hopefully you're not disappointed after hearing all the hype coming from me

Easy job today
Carpet Details at 5 oz
Long time customer at least 15 years
Family Room Living Room Dining Room Steps Hall Master Bedroom
There were a few small pet stains from her Boston Terrier that I used VacAway Oxi-Moxie on. It's a crystallizing Hydrogen Peroxide spotter that WORKS
VacAway spotters are outstanding. I used them even when I was HWE
LESS water MORE agitation !!!

Hydrogen peroxide is Magical!!!
TM guys haven't realize the power of it!
Got to be very careful with it[ Heat
]They don't use enough of it because they can't
PS. Nice Job!!!
OK , not a knock, just maybe being realistic, there are limitations.
I love my VLM tools. Worx ,, original CCS OP Stepson
and ,
drink the Kool Aid time to time.
many years ago,, Vacaway claiming they are the best , newest at oily terribly soiled olefin!!! Heck yeah!! I'll try anything.
I forget which version it was back then.
Had a real test. Vacant home. some of the thickest , densest olefin you will EVER see. inch deep, could barely push my finger between the face fibers to get to the backing. White, TERRIBLY soiled. (old pics, with old phone don't do it any justice)
Got some of the aforementioned juice. And being realistic , realized the situation was not one for 100% VLM. I actually used the juice as a HWE cleaning agent first. Yeah foam, foam ,,, foam, I was anticipating that. and dealt with it. But , wanted to see if the touted magic juice of the day was IT! So performed the PITA foam filled HWE .
Quite a bit of drying strokes, BUT, I knew , plenty of that magic juice was down in there. just waiting to drag the oily, soils up into my absorbant bonnets spinning under my OP, leaving it like new.
NOPE!!!! traffic lanes still dingy. and NOOOOO, no blend mend! LOL!
Again, meant for me as an experiment. Spent probably 5-10 X the time that area should have taken.

I'll take a 175 any old day and whip that greasy dirty grime right out of the carpet!
With more than a half a dozen different chemical mixes.
No disrespect
It's just grease dirt and who knows what else?Should come out really easy!
Just another Tuesday!
