Honestly I wouldn’t even consider using a 16 gauge cord in a commercial application. You have to take into consideration the amperage requirement (usually located somewhere on the machine) the machine needs and the length of the cord. At 50 feet a 16 gauge cord can only handle 13 amps and at 100 feet only 10 amps. If the machine requires 12 amps then you’re already at or past the safety limit. Adding an additional extension cord of ANY gauge will simply compound the problem and drop the amperage even further before it gets to the machine (and increase the likelihood of machine damage over time) because extension cords act as resisters and the longer they are the bigger the resister becomes and the less electricity can get passed along. To minimize this loss you’ll want to use a larger gauge cord first such as a 10 gauge or 12 gauge connected to the outlet since they can carry more amps per feet, and THEN, if absolutely necessary, a lower gauge such as a 14 gauge. Think of it like a series of pipes in your building. If your water main is the diameter of a drinking straw it won’t matter how big the pipe it connects to next is because that “drinking straw” will ultimately be your limiting factor.

Can insecticides be used in an electrostatic sprayer?
@ImperialDadeКүн бұрын
Hello! Thanks for watching. While some electrostatic sprayers should only be used with their manufacturers’ line of disinfectants and sanitizers, most electrostatic sprayers can be used with any products that have been approved for use by the EPA. So, that said, you will need to confirm with the manufacturer to identify the chemical(s) approved for use in your sprayer.

How does this compare to the R14 by Tennant?
@ImperialDade19 күн бұрын
Hello! Thanks for watching. Great question! The machines are similar. Both have a 28, inch path, 28-gallon tanks, restorative mode and quick clean mode. The ES4000 stands out because it can also be used as a sweeper. It has a dry sweep mode that allow you to pre-sweep carpets. Now you can use one machine for both sweeping and extracting. The R14 is only an extractor. You can also pre-treat a carpet with it as well, although we don’t really endorse that process. Finally, it has a very unique recovery spray feature for dry sweeping that actually turns the dust into water. This way you can just empty the water and not have to worry about the dust getting all over the recovery tank. To learn more about the difference between the two machines, schedule a time to talk with one of our Equipment Specialists in your area: www.imperialdade.com/help-center/general-inquiries?pathname=/

I am struggling to understand difference between doodle mop and scrubber? can they be used interchangeable? e.g. use scrubber on hardwood or epoxy floors, and use mop on tile and concrete?
@ImperialDade14 күн бұрын
Hello! Thanks for watching. Both the Doodle Mop and Doodle Scrub can both be used on any hard floor surface whether it’s epoxy and tile or hardwood and concrete. The task you’re trying to accomplish will determine which one you should use. Typically, the Doodle Mop is used to wash the floor using a replaceable or disposable microfiber pad and the Doodle Scrub can be used to wash a floor but with the different pads available. Doodle Scrub can also be used for stripping finish, doing restorative scrubbing on tiled floors with grout. The Doodle Scrub is a little heavier than the Doodle Mop so it will do a better job when doing a deep clean. The only things interchangeable would be the handles whether you have the corded versions or battery versions. The pads for a Doodle Scrub cannot be used on a Doodle Mop because of the size difference.
@Mssuperclean25 күн бұрын
Superhelpful! thanks! Do you scrub baseboards wet or dry with doodle scrub? If wet, do you use PH neutral or something else? That is a very neat tool!
@ImperialDade14 күн бұрын
Hello! Thanks for watching. Scrubbing the baseboard wet will give you better results. You can use a PH neutral cleaner because it does not have to be rinsed. You can also use something a little stronger if needed and depending on what the baseboard is made of like a tile and grout cleaner or some kind of degreaser. Keep in mind tile and grout cleaners and most degreasers need to be rinsed. If it’s one of the vinyl baseboards you’ll want to use just the neutral cleaner. With any cleaner you use, be sure to check the manufacturer’s recommendation for proper mixture and what surfaces it can be used on.

@ImperialDade25 күн бұрын
Hello! Thanks for watching. Great question. Burnishing your dining hall floor only once a month may lead to a decrease in the finish's appearance over time. To maintain the desired level of shine and protect the finish, it's important to burnish as frequently as needed based on foot traffic and wear. Regular burnishing helps preserve the finish and keep the floor looking its best.

My tile floors are very old. Probably fifty years or so. They may also be asbestos tiles. We used a commercial stripper several times and even a scraper to remove some areas that had multiple areas of wax. After the tiles were completely clean we did two layers of commercial wax and they looked great, but within a few days they were all sticky again. We have no idea why and neither does my landlord. We believe that the only solution is to lay another floor on top but this means removing all the baseboard, and it will be very expensive. If you have any other ideas that would be great.

I use an advance sc1500. Its definately leaving more water behind than it used to. On tile floor, there used to be a couple little lines (probably dirt) but it was pretty dry, lately its leaving almost like a glaze the entire width of the squeegee. I have torn it apart twice. Checked the hoses, no holes. Cleaned everything i can think of including around the electric motor. I tested the suction with my hand and it seems to be functioning. No whistling like air is getting in somewhere etc. The squeegee is nearly new, flipped it and had no change. I dont see an adjustment for the squeegee but it is folded down pretty good against the floor. Im feeling at a loss lol. Its not dumping more water than it should. Im out of ideas.

Hi there! Thanks for watching. We're sorry to hear you're having trouble with your machine. We understand how frustrating that can be. Hopefully, we have the fix. First, verify that the recovery tank gasket is securely in place and in good condition. Also, ensure that the cap on the drain hose is tightly screwed on. If the issue persists, try removing the suction hose and flushing it with water, as there might be a partial blockage. If these steps don't resolve the problem, don't hesitate to contact your local Imperial Dade service center for further assistance.

@ImperialDade25 күн бұрын
Hi! Thanks for watching! Concrete has an alkaline surface, while neutralizers are acidic. Using a neutralizer regularly or in large amounts can potentially damage the concrete over time. For routine cleaning, it's best to use an all-purpose cleaner designed specifically for concrete surfaces. If you need to neutralize specific stains or residues, use the neutralizer sparingly and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Hello! Thanks for watching. We are sorry to hear you are having trouble with your floor pads. The pads you received might be larger than 12 inches, even though they were labeled as such. For your Oreck Orbiter, 12-inch pads are indeed the correct size. If the pads are too large, you can trim them down to the correct size using a sharp pair of scissors.

What if you wax over before 1st coat is dry?
@ImperialDadeАй бұрын
Hello, and thanks for watching! Great question. Waxing over a floor before the first coat is dry can lead to several issues: Poor Adhesion: The second coat may not adhere properly to the first coat, leading to uneven coverage and potential peeling or flaking. Streaks and Bubbles: The wet first coat can mix with the new layer, causing streaks, bubbles, or a cloudy appearance. Extended Drying Time: The drying process can be prolonged, as the underlying layer is still wet and trapped moisture can cause complications. Damage to Finish: The overall finish can be compromised, resulting in a less durable and less aesthetically pleasing surface. To ensure the best results, it's crucial to allow each coat to dry fully before applying the next.

@ImperialDade2 ай бұрын
Hello! Thanks for watching. Great Question! Without seeing a picture of the floor, the general rule with epoxy floors is that a red pad should clean it well with the correct chemical. A blue pad may work but could scratch the epoxy. If you decide to try to the blue pad, make sure to test it it in a small, inconspicuous area first. Epoxy-finished floors are fairly soft, so you must be cautious of the pads used. That said, the floor cleaner is also a factor. Never use a heavy-duty degreaser as this could also damage the floor. It can be tough to remove black marks, but with an all-purpose cleaner and a red pad, you should get a decent result.

Hi there! Thanks for watching. Unfortunately, an automatic floor scrubber is not the best machine to remove wax from your floor. The machine does not have enough pressure to adequately remove finish. We recommend a swing machine for floor stripping. Aside from reduced pressure, using an automatic floor scrubber to strip wax from the floor can result in machine damage because there is now way to properly clean she stripper and wax residue from the bottom of the machine leading to mechanical failure.
