Does anyone use any of that dry cleanig compound stuff with there CRB, and if so which one do you use, how well does it work and where do you purchase it from. Getting my 1st CRB in a few days, plan to use it for agitation after pre-spray prior to HWE, Tile&Grout and VLM.

Congrats on the new toy...you will like it. Don't be shocked when it digs up all the pet hair and loose poly when you agitate.

I have only used some dry compound to clean my garage floor. It actually did a very nice job with the stiffer brushes and left a nice dust-free surface. I don't recall the brand (it was a sample), but I think it was the CTI Pro's Choice version.

I am not a big believer in dry compounds on carpet, but I might be way off base as well. Just never tried it that way.

I've been building a pretty nice business cleaning carpets this way over the past couple of years. I use Strong Dry Zone and purchase it directly from Strong Carpet Cleaning Systems. My clients love it and I get lots of referrals. I've cleaned the crap holes although that's not my target market. Below are a few before and afters. Not trashed by any means but I happened to have these photos handy. I do use Soils & Oils Encap as a light pre-spray.
