100% VLM ???

[frank fratto]

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.

It was so long ago, I forget , but, I think I did use some peroxide. And maybe the juice was one that had it. the point being, wanted to see if indeed the stuff did what it claimed.

As , it was claimed to be the magic bullet , all by itself. for those oil loving , olefin, and poly fibers.

I get it.
That's why I always bump olefin and poly fibers with ammonia and peroxide, I'm always bumping something
Not a one jug guy!!!

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.

I had a problem with the quick connect on the spray wand. Got rid of it and have a permanent connection there. No more priming problems.
