My favorite product to use on wool carpets.

[garyhumphreys]

do the people who like using it stick to the stated dilution rates or glug a bit extra in?

Will it work better at the recommended dilution rate or does it have more power mixed a bit stronger?

[*Hector*]

This is one of the products that actually work better at the recommended dilution rate, and sometimes slightly less than the recommended rate... More is not good...

[tim handley]

works for me......   at suggested dilution rates!!!!

[Kinver_Clean]

Normal usage 1-120. Sick, poo, etc 1-80.
Do not use more than 1-80 as it has less effect.
It needs the correct amount of water to work properly.
A reasonable amount applied ( more than microsplitters ) and 10-30 mins dwell time including agitation. 10-15 normally.

Looks like I’m in the majority never used it, as my Nan used to say never add to the pot it cost and was she frugal 

[seamus campbell]

personally think its a great product, just wish their dilution rates were a bit easier to understand  ml/ltrs instead of ratios

[Simon@arenaclean]

I find it works better as a wetting agent a few ml per litre in MS or detergents can help to wet the fibre out so I use less pre-spray. As a stand alone pre-spray i've has patchy results, tried it hot, cold at the recommended dose long dwell, no dwell. I even tried a light mist and going on a bit heavier, got frustrated when I would need to mix something different and re-spray it. Most chemicals are designed to work at particular ratio's so check with the supplier before you do it. I think you should try it as you may get the results you want different strokes and all that.

Len, frugal or not, it was £59 when I first started using it ....... now down to £39, due to demand & higher production rates I suppose  

Must be up to the job, as it is the only product specifically requested at the Big House & Medical Research Centre that I do !!

That's not too bad for 400 to 600 litres of prespray  :

Seamus,

Why have you started this thread asking what everyone thinks ? when you clearly already know what you think

I was thinking the same! 

Personaly I didn't find it a good product at all! Wasted money on two bottles of the stuff  after all the rave reviews here...

Also, how can using more of the product be a bad thing? Sounds like a very strange excuse for a product noting working. Using more would either make it better or have the same. Not worst.

it needs the water to start working Tony... if you reduce the water you reduce the medium for it to work..

[seamus campbell]

Yeah i can understand why your confused, Have been using it  a lot recently but not on anything to bad to be honest but have found it to do a good job at a good price, but then i keep asking myself would something else have done an even better job, still coming to terms with how  little is diluted. So thought i would run it past some of the more experienced guys before ordering some more

A bit of information on the manufactures site,

It says on Mikes link that heat does help colliodal work better.

I use M-Power on anything with wool in it and I get great results. To be honest it's the only Solutions product I use as I'm a bit of a Prochem loyalist. I want to try Prespray Gold on wool to see if its any better, has anyone tried M-Power and Prespray Gold (not together!) and can give a good comparison between the two?
