FOR HARD SURFACE

Hard Surface spinners typically need high pressure (800 psi or more) to spin the bearing holding the jet bar. To clean hard surfaces with an extraction machine which produce a solution pressure of less than 800 psi the operator should:

• Use Tenax Detergent, an aggressive formula that cleans carpet as well as hard surfaces, and will quickly emulsify soiling, with out creating an abundance of foam in the waste tank.

  Any minimal residues not extracted dry off to fine crystalline powder therefore eliminating re-soiling problems that other detergents produce.

  Most over the counter hard surface detergents possess a high foaming action which present continual problems of foam build up in your waste tank.

  Tenax has a foam inhibitor added to its formula and aids the reduction of foam generation.

  This, together with its high dilution ratio (300:1) and aggressive cleaning action make it ideal for hard surface cleaning.

• Fit a Teflon Glide to your wand. This will enable you to clean hard surfaces in the same manner that you clean carpets (Teflon Glides available for all Genesis wands).

  By cleaning Hard surfaces in this way you can see the floor as you clean which is a distinct advantage compared to larger and more costly and cumbersome Hard Surface spinners.

  A wand fitted with a Teflon Glide can clean with a significantly low pressure, which means you can use your portable machines efficiently on Hard Surfaces. No spinning is necessary since the operator is moving the wand instead, thus not having the requirement for high presure spinning heads have.

• • As an additional aid to Hard Surface cleaning pre-spray the area with Tenax solution, then using a buffing machine with a soft brush buff the floor. This will intensify the emulsifying action of TENAX prior to removing the slurry with your wand fitted with a Teflon glide.
