Excellent information! Really cool to know the background of how things came to be.

I had no idea that truckmounts were around that long or that wall to wall carpeting came about in the 1960's or that Cimex has been around for decades!

I'm just getting into the VLM style of carpet cleaning, so lots to learn. Thanks for the insights!

I'm the lead of carpet and tile care for a pretty large janitorial company, it was small when I started and I basically had to self teach when it came to carpet cleaning. We do a ton of hot water extraction on commercial carpets and we always have issues with wicking. We definitely need a Cimex machine

Very interesting episode. Thank you for sharing. New to the industry and really enjoyed hearing about the history.

Well-delivered information on the history of the dry foam shampoo/encapsulation method of carpet cleaning! I and some others who like using vintage dry foam carpet shampooers in our homes such as the Twin-Disc models made by Hoover, G-E, Westinghouse, Sunbeam, and Regina and the Triple-Disc version made by Electrolux and Aerus. None of these have a suction component as they were designed in the 1960s & 1970s. Have you or someone you know used your product with such machines. If so, was it effective both for cleaning and long-term care?

Wow! I got my Electrolux & Floor Pro system new for home in 2000. I didn’t realize it was that brand new. Because in my Nan’s she had a 1964 version. So what was the chemistry of the 6070s foam? Was it good for its day. I’ve continue to use Electrolux Turbo because it’s what I had. Baby safe home. & for pets. But is there something newer that is baby safe? Hyper allergenic.?
