Bought a Host, and an experiment |

I've been looking for a certified pile brush for a while and I almost had one but the seller informed me of a crushed spot on the brush, which according to what i've read would require another $140 in parts.
So I decided to buy this host machine figuring I can use it for dry pile lifting as well as a prespray agitator. I'm also thinking of adding a vacuum shoe to it like the host freestyle so that it can also pickup dirt during a pile lifting session with an attached vacuum of some sort of course. Anyways the experiment was checking whether or not a brush like this would actually make a difference in loosening soil from carpeting. I first vacuumed my bedroom with an Amway Cleartrak, used the host, then vacuumed again. While vacuuming an area a 2nd time will always find more dirt I think that this was a pretty significant amount of grittier debris that would not have been found if not for the brush treatment. | ||

Test an idea
Well when you're looking at modifying a unit you first want to make sure it's worth the time and effort. I ran that test to see if they really are able to dislodge embedded dirt before putting in the time and money.
Very nice Luxlife! My plan was just to use a backpack vacuum with it. I don't intend to use dry cleaning compounds but intend to use this to agitate a prespray before using my modified Mytee. I'm going to be looking for a prespray that doesn't leave residue

Hmm
Commercial dirt is a beast of it's own lots of grit and very fine debris from all the traffic. It's why I turn the entryway rugs over and use the vacuum to beat the grit out a few times a year. that very fine dust clogs the F+G bags very very quickly. You wouldn't think they'd hold that much considering I clean them daily.
Ah yes i'm pretty familiar with TMF, i've posted there looking for advice on machinery. Thanks for the links though. | ||
