What sort of Portable Generator should be considered when running a Recoil 3 / eclipse / mytee Portable. I also am using heat and a Rotovac. Some instances I might be using a Tile & Grout cleaner? I have an opportunity to do some construction clean up and at times no power will be available.
can anyone recommend a inexpensive tile / grout cleaner machine and green chemicals?
any one ever used a water otter?
can hook on to a porty to increase water pressure.
can any one suggest and supplier that has a good assortment of green chemicals?
Appreciate the help!!! ------------- T-Nap |

As far as generators go simply add up the amps + wattage you plan to use and ask Briggs & Stratton or Honda for a model to drive it all. Chemspec are on top of Green Chems that do a fine job.
We also suggest Grout Smart from Core Products for hard-surface 1-800-825-core or for very serious grout use Charge from Perform MFG. 1-800-423-9861
The OP Machine large or small is still an excellent method of cleaning floors and grout in a simple manor without excessive or expensive equipment.
For those in Canada these products are all available from KK.

splash,
Yes, you can use a brush with OP for grout. Even better if it is an actual Tynex brush with irregular brissel lengths for more effective reach-down into the grout lines.
When finished you can sop up with a cotton pad OP or use a squeegee and wet vac.

splash,
If I was going into the grout cleaning business and was serious about it I would want both systems to assure me excellent results and having a back-up is always a smart idea.
I have found sometimes that high pressure works better and other times mechanical action works better. A combo of both is the answer.
A professional carpenter always has more than one tool in his toolbox.
