Ryan,  yes you're right I did comment about M-power & Hd  in Jim Neals post about the Indian restaurant, But  I think 'Slag off' is a little harsh, my comment was more tongue in cheek.

for all those using high PH chemicals (Champion etc) on Nylon why? wont it strip out the acid dye blockers  leaving the carpet in a very vulnerable state, it will clean up fantastic this time but the next time you go back it will not be so easy.

same, 1 scoop per litre or 3 scoops if using the hydraforce. just spray more down, or better still, add some citra boost or greasebreaker if you feel that will help.

Derek,
Try halfing your dilution, so 1 scoop to 2 litres etc, I was told to try this by Paul Robinson on the Prochem stand at the cleaning show, the results are just the same and product goes twice as far.

sounds good but i like my results and its not that expensive when you think how far it goes,, what is it? about 50p a house or something daft like that, suppose it all adds up at the end of the year though. might try a few houses ;)

Cloverclean,

Don't believe everything you read. It's perfectly safe to use PB on wool carpets, but just like any other alkaline pre-spray, you should acid rinse it afterwards

Simplz.

The instructions on the Powerburst labe say " If used on wool/woolmix  carpets then rinse with B109 FF Rinse"
That tells me that you can use it on wool, as you can any pre-spray you wish, if you feel it is the best for the job. Just make sure rinse well. Sometimes we have to step from the "safe" guidelines to get the result required!
Do you still pass the van steering wheel through your hands at 10 and 2 to turn a corner because your instructor told you had to ??? ???

i have used power burst on wool before but you just have to use common sense. if its trashed then why not. always neutralise and plenty of dry strokes.

never used ultra pac renovate but goin to get some for poly carpets.

Probably not far out with that price    there's 266.66 scoops to the tub.

The other day I used Powerburst on a trashed 3 piece and rinsed with Double Clean.
It came up quite good considering I thought it wasn't worth doing.
I told her It wasn't worth doing unless I could experiment using non conventional
materials and she said try it for nothing. She was happy, I got paid.

I've tried everything and i tend to go back to MSers ( solutions HD)

even when i use H/Ms  Blitz or Soilbreak i still have a small spray bottle of MS to hit the bad spots as I scrub.

at the moment I'm using Nemisis as  general pre-spray but still have  a spray bottle of MS to hit the really bad bits.

I'm rinsing with Chemspecs High heat liquid

Hi Mike
Do you use a Hydroforce or pump up sprayer?

What are the dilution rates?



Cheers

Solutions HD on 90% of jobs, ultra pac or maybe powerburst on rest. Still trying to work out why HD doesn't quite get there on certain synthetics.

Steve k, sorry mate didn't see you question.

I have a big pump up sprayer of Nemesis (Last about 2 days) which is mixed at 130ish - 1  ....... but I just put a big splash into the sprayer .

I have a hydraforce but as I'm using high heat which is an acid based cleaner I don't know how this will react with the nemesis so stick to using the pump up

If the main stains are tea and coffee I think high ph presprays are going to make matters worse. Pureclean is excellent for these jobs.
