Default question for Bissell users

I saw that some of you using the Bissell are using CG Lightning Fast with Zep anti-foam. My question is are you diluting the Lightning Fast with water since it has a dilution ration of 20:1 and then using some Zep? Or is it just straight Lightning Fast and Zep at 50/50?

Thanks

I personally dont find Lightning Fast to be effective at 20:1...i actually use it at 2:1...and then i add the antifoam agent into the fresh water tank..and i have 0 foam. I use a bottle to apply the lightning fast, i dont put it into the solution in the tank...never tried it but i have heard it might have an effect on the parts inside the LGM...just a thought but the process i use is working out very well for me...LF is a great cleaner!

is it bad that i have never used anti foam in my LGCM?? i have used CG lighting and ZEP cleaner, but never anti foam. it never seems to foam that much any way, all i get is dirty water.

I use APC in my Bissell, my anti foaming agent is fabric softener. It also gives off a great smell. There's nothing like the smell of clean laundry ! Well maybe a new car, but lets not chase the dragon here.

It may depend on what dilution ratio you use for LF..i find that at 2:1 it foams like crazy, i looks like a frothy beer!
