    Do you all think you can use regular mop solution in a Hoover steamvac

    What I currently do is use a garden pump sprayer to mix the cleaning solution and then spray the floor with it. Then I use a tile brush to scrub it in. Then I'll use an extractor with just water to clean it all up. You should never leave cleaning solution on hard flooring or carpet. Soap residue...

    Install Truck Mount Carpet Extractor in Home

    Hmm, thanks for the information. I just assumed there was a separate generator on the van and the unit just plugged into it. It would be an interesting dilemma for a cleaning company that wanted to use electric vehicles. It does look like MYTEE offers an electric quasi-truck mount. It can be...

    Install Truck Mount Carpet Extractor in Home

    Thanks gottahaveahoove. Your house sounds really nice. And I'm sure a lot of character at 100+ years old. I love to to go explore old homes and buildings. That's how I met my former wife a few years ago. She was part of a team working to save an old department store and renovate it into...

    Install Truck Mount Carpet Extractor in Home

    Thanks for the link to that forum. I'll definitely take a look around there. I currently have a Vacuflo model 760. I'm happy with it but I've heard a lot of good things about MD central vacuums. Having a bagged system might be a nice change.

    Install Truck Mount Carpet Extractor in Home

    There is no reason to be condescending. I'm not your "pal". There is obviously a market (however small it may be) for people like me since you see central vacuum systems like Aqua Air that can pick up water and have a hot water source. But I'm not convinced that sucking up water through the...

    Install Truck Mount Carpet Extractor in Home

    Yeah from what I understand the system is plugged into a separate generator when mounted in a van. I obviously wouldn't need the generator running it off of the household current. And if I put it in a place like the laundry room I was thinking I could run a small access shaft to the second...

    Install Truck Mount Carpet Extractor in Home

    I'll be starting construction on a new home in about two years. It will have a central vacuum like my current house but I was wondering if it would be possible to install a truck mount type carpet extractor in a utility room. I would assume they could be connected or hardwired into a 220v...

    Help With Riccar 1500P

    dysonman1 Thanks for your help. If the vacuum is damaged I may send it back and purchase one of the new one's from you if you still have them in stock. That is a good price.

    Help With Riccar 1500P

    Hi everyone. I recently won an auction for a Riccar 1500P on Ebay. I am a real estate investor so I buy houses, fix them up, and sell them. I needed a vacuum for this purpose. I use a Miele Marin at home but obviously don't want to use it to vacuum the houses that I buy. I figured my options...
