I use the same products since the day i started...got no problems at all but if you could tempt me to change or advise me to try something else what would you recommend???
Basically what are you currently using?l and how does it compare to different products you have tried in the past..

[wayne zabel]

What are you using?

I have tried all sorts and now use 4 basic products.

Powerburst for real mingers,SPM or other boosted MS's  for those in betweeners and either MPower or PureX for cleanish wool.

I occasionally use an in tank cleaner such as F90 or Ultimate Master.

[Lewis Newby]

Mostly spm here tbh

[Robin Ray]

Power burst for mingers, pure clean for everything else sometimes boosted with oxystuff or/ and solvent. Sometimes a acid rinse sometimes just water sometimes some form of detergent rinse.

[Steven Butler]

Cheers for the replies so far.
I use SPM/MPower only.

[tim handley]

give powdered f90 a go mate..........................   very very good.............................
bio clean, same as m power but cheaper,
enzall, great on certain jobs.........
omega for encap/commercials.............. economic and very good.....

[sean oregan]

Citrus pre spray, tlc both Alltec  are main pre sprays.
Ultimate master in tank for most, sometimes just acid rinse and liquid formula 90 for mingers in tank.
I should use ultimate master as pre spray aswell but just can't get my head round it, I feel if I use a different pre spray it's like a 2 pronged attack on soil.

SPM....find it to be a great all round product.

[Iain macdonald]

For spm do any u  find just use a hand brush for agitation it still works.haven't got round buy sebo duo yet next on list.got some spm last week but not had great results using it

[CleanerCarpets]

Iain - SPM is a great product. As its a microsplitter agitation is key - it works immediately so dwell isnt as important but mechanical agitation will make a difference.

It needs to be hot as well so the oxi boost element is active and obviously so it dissolves properly

[Mike Halliday]

I'm using John Kelly's powered MS  on everything, carpets & upholstery,  if it's got an odour problem then I use  Chemspecs  Odour kill plus

I Mix 17lts  in my electric sprayer and no matter how grafted it is it comes up great. I keep a bar of felts Napther in my pocket if any stains don't move with the agatation then I give them a rub.

[JandS]

17 litres Mike...that's a lot for a days domestics.

[Phil @ Extreme Clean]

A lot I use around 8 ltrs on 2-3 rooms with my electric sprayer there not to wet and I think a bit more cleans better with good agitation.

[Mike Halliday]

17 litres Mike...that's a lot for a days domestics.

Some times I don't use it all  but I look at the work booked in for the day if its a bit small I will mix a bit less, I don't like to keep it over night as its oxi boosted  so will die off over time

[jasonl]

Any left overs I have go straight in the rinse tank , mpower or SPM /RPM  most jobs

[Iain macdonald]

Roughly how much spm would say use in general sized room and general dirt.i was only useing a 1-1half litre a room is that enough

[john martin]

U guys using those inefficient basic products ... working up a sweat with the extra agitation ,  lining the pockets of the suppliers of that cheap to make stuff  . And the benefit to u and the customer is ? ...
unproven at least

Lots of places offering these type of deodorizer additives now ... this is great value if u buy 4x5lts
Everything i did this week smells of lavender ...   the customers seem to take to it .
And with antibacterial additives it may reduce odor causing microorganisms  in the drying carpet
( tried the others here  but lavender is the nicest for in home imo )

Do you mind me asking where you bought the Felts Napther from?
I can't seem to find it anywhere?
Thanks

[sean oregan]

Amazon, eBay it's a laundry soap

[Mike Halliday]

John how can it be inefficient ? It cleans the carpets for pennies, I could cut my cost in half and save myself errrrr... ( (what's half of pennies?)

The benefit to customers is clean carpets, the benefit to me is a chemical that gives me the results that I want , I  might be able to source the ingredients my self but the saving is negligible.

MS  are proven....... by me over the last 10yrs ( is a ten year test acceptable?  )  I have tried every chemical available, I clean carpets every single Day if I could do it better I would,  why would I make life hard for myself?

I understand your dislike of waffle & BS  used by companies to sell chemicals but  just because they bullsh!t us doesn't alter the fact that the stuff works

I buy felts from Walmart when in the US
