Love our 360i, but hate the swirls.

Saw tooth with a wand?

Just crack the shutoff valve. IF you need more open it more.

With what? A rake (Grandi Groom) doesn't help much.

Is that the problem? Too much psi/water? Heat?

I thought this thread was going to be about a 60's rock group.

 

[Hack Attack]

most are well pre 60's I'd say

Are you using glides or metal boots (shoes)?

If your temp is high, particularly with the metal boots, it may set the swirl marks.
Cut your temp.

It's the metal boots. Temp around 230-240.
Guess we need to back off a bit.
Thanks!

Saw tooth with a wand?

Any mode of cleaning will leave marks in cut pile carpet: sawtooth patterns, swirls, wand marks, grooming marks, vacuum lines, etc.

Here's a story from my retail commercial carpet cleaning days. We were scheduled to clean the carpet in a very upscale store. The vice president of their entire chain of stores was making a visit to this store and they wanted us to clean the carpet the night before the VP's visit. I asked the store manager if we could maybe clean it earlier in the week so the swirls from our Cimex could have a chance to fade from their plush carpet. Her reply: "No we love the marks, that's why we want you to clean the night before the visit". So we went ahead and cleaned the night before as they'd requested - swirls and all. I checked back with the store manager later and she said the visit went great. Goes to show, you can't second guess what people like. It may not be as big of a deal as you think it is.

I had to go back and HWE a church once because they wanted the Cimex swirls gone!

Just goes to show that you never know what people like!

Does a rotovac swirl the other way in Australia?

 

[Kenny Hayes]

My customers don’t care, but I do and I have em groom with the crb after Cimex. Love my 15” crb for that. Before that I used a driveway broom.

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

Are we talking about a brush head?

Wand with a some steam

I just knew "they like swirls" was coming.....

I like to leave a scalloped arch pattern across plush carpet; working the Cimex backward out of a room making overlapping stripes. It leaves a cool looking design on the carpet.

 

[Dolly Llama]

I think they're cool too

Any other Cimex artists out there?
