    Careful that the water is not too hot . . . you’ll kill the critters (enzymes)

    Correct. Thats another reason why I prefer using Quickboost as a pre spray; you can go as hot as you want without killing the little critters.

    I understand that you aren’t supposed to use “Hot” water, but warm water.

    Answer: Hot water. But not to hot. If it will burn your hands, it will kill the enzymes.

    f.a.e. works great on dirty oily areas . it works a little bit different than quick boost

    I think I’ve tried it with every possible combination of water, mix and on every different kind of soiling. All my side by side tests didn’t show any difference. Side with FAE took longer due to having more moisture and needing more passes to get adequately dry. Has anyone else done side by side comparison?

    I’ve done a side by side comparison between Fae and Quickboost. Both were used as a pre spray, followed by 101.
    The side with Quickboost was noticeably cleaner.

    I’m going clear out on a climb here. Before I start I must say again each area is going to experience different results due to soil and other differences ie. humility, farm and ranch communities, city smog, soil PH, clay content, animals, and so forth.
    Over the last few months, in trying to do even better, we have altered the procedures of our cleaning to the extent our customers have gone from satisfied to ecstatic!
    We pre-vacuum, Spray FAE, let dwell, and go over with damp BBC pad (if carpet can take the BBC). This is very high on the PH side towards alkali. We buff here before the PH is deluded lower. Next we then spray 101 with orange deodorizer mixed. (This in turn is the lower side of the PH acid side). We almost always use the towel in our cleaning. Some soils and stains will be removed better with higher or lower PH. It is a lot easier the sell protector when the customers are thrilled! Either way the results (in my area) from customers comments have put my employees and myself on a whole new level of respect and admiration. It really feels good knowing they are not only satisfied but thrilled.
    I have waited to reply this post until I have had adequate time for a proven record (in my area) instead of just a theory. I hope this works in your area as well.

    Disclosure: Your results may vary. Do not seek professional help, and yes, try this at home!
    Warning: Do not put orange deodorizer through your power sprayer or upholstery mate.

    Gordon- What are you using to spray OD with?

    2 gallon pump sprayer most of the time and uses the power sprayer for the FAE. Sometimes one of my operators sprays 101 with power sprayer and mists on OD straight. I prefer the first. Some carpets can’t take the OD straight without spotting.

    Sorry, but this is just anicdotal. FAE? What is it made for exactly. For instance grease in a restraunt is not going to be any different in one area to the next. There is very little difference in dirt or oil or whatever. If FAE is made to break down a specific type of soiling then what is it!!!!!! Is there no science in this? The only explanation I have come close to understanding is mabe the diffence in the water we use. But can anyone explain the science behind FAE? Every time I use it, it is a waist of my time. Until I get some science behind this then everyone is just guessing.
