Default Defoamer!!

Finally found something OTC...Fminus knows what I am talking about when getting frustrated with the little green clean machine clogging up from lighting fast carpet cleaner foaming up on you...Home Depot over by my place carries Anti-foam made by Zep...was in the cleaning chemical aisle...used it today and works like a champ...was a great deal for like 6 bucks for 32 oz....and i only used less than an ounce poured into the reclaim tank....was nice to see my reclaim tank not full of foam...

I use Meguiar's APC+ (orange) cut 10:1. Cost efficient, works very well without harm, and does not foam. Costs ~ $15 for a gallon.

+1
the primary difference between the formulas is that one is made to foam and the other is not.

If your machine is foaming you are not using a good detergent maid for fabric and upholstry.

I would try biokleen traffic lane cleaner or prochem ultra pack pvc.

Why not get an even better product? That seems like it would be the better solution.

I don't have an extractor but you are so right about how well Lightning Fast works. I used it yesterday on an orange soft drink stain a kid had spilled in the back floor of a Tahoe. Sprayed the LF on it, waited about 5 min. and wiped with a damp white MF and voila stain was GONE! Glad you found a remedy for a problem that lets you use an awesome product.
