I have ordered Portable Extraction #129 twice and have found it on back order both times.
Adam, can you tell us when it will be in stock.
Rick,
I seldom use this product. Could you share some of the conditions you use it on and what the advantages are.
Thanks!
i have yet to ever use this.i think its is for 😯 use for extraction purposes on soil and grease that is layered up,upon layers,if you know what i mean
I use it in the greasy traffic lanes in restaraunts.
I also use it and the upholstery mate to clean the stairways in rental units.I keep a mixed 32 ounce bottle with trigger sprayer of portable extract (2 – 1 ounce scoops to a 32 ounce bottle) and use it on just about everything I can extract, if what I am cleaning is really soiled. I use it on the fringe of Orientals. Lay a mat under the fringe, spray portable extract and use a scrub brush (stroked towards me) and rinse.
I use it on commercial steps, in hotels, offices ECT…
2 to 3 ounces to a 32 ounce bottle depending on how bad the conditions are.
Pre-spray fast acting enzyme, let it sit while I get my portable extracting unit or large upholstery machine, depending on how many steps and how bad.
If the steps are in bad shape I always use portable extract and a scrub brush, (medium like bristle) be sure to rinse well!It also works great on nasty upholstery head rest and arm rest especially. Works well on Crayola Markers. In these situations I use it in place of my super spotter and use a horse hair brush.
Commercial chairs (seat with back) spray down with fast acting enzyme, let it sit, then spray with portable extract, scrub (medium light bristle), extract.
For me, using portable extract this way saves time on tough stains.Auto, boats, RV’s (light bristle scrub brush) works great, as long as you can rinse it.
I keep a mixed 2 ½ gallon jug on my van at all times. 20 ounces or 2 ½ cups to a 2 ½ gallon jug and apply an extra ounce to a 32 ounce bottle according to the severity of the situation. Very soapy, but very effective.see ya!
I used this on some restaurant booths I cleaned last weekend. I can tell you the first time I cleaned these booths I just used 101. I did 10 booths just the back rests and it took me a good hour and a half. Not bad results but very hard scrubbing involved. This time using portable extract I was done in 40 minutes and very minimal scrubbing. The booths looked like they had just been re-upholstered and the owner was thrilled.
I know nothing about this product….and there is no MSD sheet in the file either. Sounds great though..
Under the city owners page you can and should download a complete MSDS file make sure you keep it in arms length of the driver we don’t need any body supporting osha
As far as govt. fines: I would be more worried about the EPA pulling you over in your marked van than I would for OSHA inspecting after an accident.
Got that right…in Lancaster County in the 90s, a milk truck was involved in an accident and it broke open, milk ran down an embankment and into a small drainage ditch/tributary. Many, many thousands of dollars were spent (25-30k I believe) to contain the milk, excavate and then haul and dispose of the muck and mess.
Milk…from the farm??? The environmental dept had a great day that day.
We have environmental police here in PA, and I am sure, most areas, that roam around. We have our small bottles contained, not loose on the shelves and we ensure that the jugs are upright and caps tight. They can leak. The real risk is from something leaking out of the van to the environment unnoticed by an operator. Anyone could then call 911 and report it. Due to my past life, I am very aware of these things and am just cautious…
If anyone has an interest, I could take a pic of our small bottle storage and send…make is easy to bring inside when freezing as well.
I used it on a very dirty sofa with good results.
are you guys mix Portable Extract with 101 or just a hot water? Do you let it sit after spraying or you extract right away?
Honestly, I never used this product, I think I should 😳
AdrianI use:
6-8 oz. of 101
2 oz. of 124
4 oz. 102
2-3 oz. of 129
I will spray an area and begin extracting immediately. If the area is visibly dirty, I use a hand towel to agitate (this will remove quite a bit of filth).
Just use your common since and not flood the area with solution. If you do, suck it up immediately, and continue with normal cleaning procedures. I have used this method on multiple textiles over the last 10 years with great success.
When in doubt, always spot test a fabric…. and don’t clean Haitian Cotton. (it looks like a bale of raw cotton covered in a loose burlap)
For MicroFiber & Suede: Just use twice as many suction passes.
